Do you think Xbox is doomed?

I honestly think they're doomed and it really sucks. I can see them going down the route Sega did, Microsoft claims they're coming out with a new console/pc hybrid next generation. I just don't see it selling well, at this point the Xbox consoles will never sell as well as Nintendo or Sony consoles. But there was a time where Microsoft really did things right, and that was with the Xbox 360.
 
Sega dropped out of the console business because they were constantly missing on every system they released. The 32X, the Saturn, the Dreamcast, all of those never came close to Genesis, plus there was a regime change in the early 2000s that suggested they go 3rd party overall. Microsoft hasn't said that just yet.

I hope you're right, but with Game Pass Ultimate being $30/mo now. That's kinda agiant F.U. to their fanbase IMHO. Not to mention the $1000 handheld, and the fact their 5 year old hardware, the Xbox Series X INCREASED in price instead of getting cheaper 5 years later.
 
I think they just need to go PC only and focus on making games, there really is no profit in hardware these days.
 
I think Xbox may not be doomed if Microsoft decides to spend more time and money on designing an affordable Xbox which is fast enough to play all the latest games at high video quality settings without noticeable video lag.

There are probably many thousands of Xbox users who prefer consoles with disc drives or cartridge/memory card slots which can play physical copies of their games which they can collect, easily share with friends, and sell their used games to get back some of their money, or more money if a game becomes a collectors item.
 
As long as there are fanboys (and gals) who are team Xbox and will always be team Xbox, I think it will be just fine.

The console vs. console thing is about the same as liberals and conservatives, there is enough on each side where they will both exist forever.
