The Xbox people have a better grasp of things. Consoles have little reason to exist... and the writing was on the wall when the PS3 stumbled out the gate. Really, in the PS2 era, all those Renderware / id Tech 3 / Unreal 1 games running the same on every platform was a big hint that there was no longer a benefit to having different platforms. Now there's just various badges over x86 PCs and smartphones - and the smartphones are starting to run Steam games.

None of which is to say that Microsoft has conducted their grand scheme to computer-ify the console market with any degree of finesse, consistency, or follow-through. They're still idiots for setting successful studios on fire, and for refusing to shit or get off the pot vis-a-vis whether there's gonna be an Xbox The Next One.

Where this breaks down is where the AI tech is in this decade/century. Between running out of RAM and the fact these agents barely get marginally difficult tasks (programming wise) done, they won't be outputting the slop AAA games are today. When you have people making games and most players are pissed at how bad they are and how expensive, we all know that AI built games will be way, way worse and stild as expensive.
