In a past news post, I speculated that Microsoft secretly wants out of the console business and is purposely driving customers away from Xbox in order to make the move less messy. It’s only my pet theory, but I think it’d go a long way towards explaning the baffling string of decisions made regarding the…

Xbox Series X|S is Apparently Trailing Xbox 360 in Sales
Xbox has been in kind of a weird place ever since the days of the Xbox 360 came to a close. Despite being the undisputed king of the console market for the entire lifespan of the Xbox 360, Microsoft was never really able to to keep the momentum going thanks to one debacle or another….
Xbox Capture Deletions Start This Month
Microsoft’s policy regarding in-game captures goes into effect this month, meaning that users need to hurry up and make sure that they’ve backed-up all of their favorite videos and screenshots. As reported by ComicBook.com, it seems that users risk losing that data if they don’t get it offloaded to an external location before the mass deletion…
Microsoft is Considering an Ad-Supported Version of Game Pass
I won’t bury the lead here: it’s possible that there’s an ad-supported version of Xbox Game Pass in our future. According to Windows Central, Microsoft CFO Tim Stuart recently talked about users might be able to watch ads in order to gain access to Game Pass at some point in the future. There also already…
Xbox Isn’t Planning a Mid-Gen Console Upgrade. Good.
As part of the deluge of announcements to come out of Summer Games Fest, Microsoft announced that it currently has not plans for a mid-generation console. That’s really all there is to it, and, frankly, I’m glad. I really didn’t like that we had mid-gen consoles in the first place.
Exploring a More Beautiful Skyrim
Since it looks like the Elder Scrolls VI still won’t be out anytime soon, I’ve found myself drifting back to previous entries in the series in order to get my Elder Scrolls fix. I started with Morrowind early last year, and later tried (and failed) to get back into Oblivion. Now that I have an…
The Xbox Series X|S is On Track to be Microsoft’s Bestselling Console(s)
Microsoft revealed an interesting bit of information over the weekend regard the Xbox Series X|S consoles. According to company, the Xbox Series X|S has outsold all previous Xbox consoles at this point in their lifecycle. This is despite the chronic shortages plaguing the consumer electronics industry, a quality that’s more or less inline with other…
Halo Infinite Multiplayer Looks…Good!
Okay, so this is actually a little late, but I figured now would be a good time to talk about it since people have been having fun with the beta recently. Unfortunately, I’m still lacking any of the new consoles, so I can only look on in envy. Still, I must say that Halo is…
I Definitely Don’t Need It, And Yet…
I like to think that I’m fairly resistant to the video game hype train these days. I’ve been in the gaming world for decades at this point, so I should have some sort of a resistance built up to it all by now. In practice though, I’m not so sure that’s true. I don’t pre-order…
8th Generation Memories
Even though the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are now here and the first few games are already out in the wild, the now-current generation still doesn’t feel real for me. I still see games coming out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and frankly it’s going to be hard to get one of…
