The console is not being sunsetted because of AI. Its being sunsetted to force everyone into online subscription services.
“The console is not being sunsetted because of AI.”
Yes, that is a stupid postulated reason. They could amp up Xbox a lot more with embedded AI. That has to be the direction for the future.
I was under the impression that Xbox had subscription services through their console.
Plus, it may be that the gaming PC's have taken over consoles, at least of the Microsoft variety. When I replaced my laptop and wanted one powerful enough to run a DB service for making homemade DB applications, there were tons of "gaming PCs" (laptops) to choose from that were high end. The laptop I got is basically a gaming laptop but minus the advanced video processing. I can stream a football game onto my television from my laptop (normal video stuff, not gaming processor stuff) while also running SQL queries on my SQL Server Express DB without it missing a beat.
I think you may be correct.
