The last three games I paid for were Minecraft, Factorio and Dwarf Fortress (pre-Kitfox).
I haven't needed a new one since that.

Microsoft may as well just cancel their whole Xbox hardware business. Xbox Series is a secondary market for Microsoft games after PlayStation and any console successor they release is going to limp to the starting line. At least the XSX had hype from the Bethesda acquisition and previous Obsidian/Inxile/etc acquisitions
Really we all need a Steam Deck 2 and a stronger Valve produced Strix Halo mini-PC
It's looking like the Xbox will stick around as a cheap entry point into Game Pass and the games that Microsoft publishes themselves. Yes, I know, it's not as cheap as it used to be, but still fairly capable for a game machine at that price. The Steam mini PC is likely on its way. A couple of months back, there were leaks of the new Steam controller that leaked on their way to be mass produced after finalizing the design, so they'd probably accompany the living room machine. In the meantime, I have a mini PC running Bazzite that's been awesome, but with tariffs in the US, you won't be able to get the same performance per dollar that I got.

I wonder if the price increase will be spent on making a chart that tells me which XBox is which?
I don't know exactly when I got old, but I feel angry every time Xbox reminds me that I'm too old to know which is which.
My last Xbox was Xbox one. Never going back.
