The thing about Xbox's strategy is that it's really sound on paper, it really is just whether they can be nimble enough to execute it.

Corporate bureaucracy, legacy Windows problems, and battling AI slop mandates is going to make delivering "Xbox on PC" very hard.

Not many people playing it, but Monster Hunter Stories pvp is really fun. Got high hopes for the third game. #Xbox

The Xbox Ally X has "exceeded expectations," says ASUS, while also lamenting the stock situation.

Full comments: www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/... 🔽
As Xbox Ally X supply woes continue, ASUS admits demand exceeded expectations — "We are working closely with suppliers to ramp up production."
How well is the Xbox Ally X doing? Very well, according to ASUS. Although the stock situation remains dire, it sounds like it has become a pretty nice business for the big Windows OEM.

I love this because it's potentially The Answer.

Games are struggling because we're in a hit-driven market. Make a hit and Steam will push it. Make a hit and media will cover it. That's great... if you have a hit.

But how does everyone else survive?

@falconeerdev.bsky.social has found a way.
As viral hits like Escape from Duckov and Megabonk change the industry, Falconeer developer Tomas Sala has had to find another way to survive www.eurogamer.net/as-viral-hit...

I wish it was easier to discover new Xbox Play Anywhere games. Microsoft makes it really hard for some reason.
