Date: June 12th, 2026 8:16 AM Author: cowgod - Xbox says memory and storage costs could be five times higher in 2027 than they were two years ago. The console business is now a $500 box trying not to become a $1,000 box while AI datacenters eat the RAM like locusts with venture funding
- The State of Xbox is hardware panic plus identity crisis. Console, service, cloud, PC layer, subscription sermon, handheld rumor, ecosystem fog machine. The parts inside the box are becoming luxury minerals and the brand is still trying to decide what noun it is.
- Ubisoft is cutting 93 more jobs in San Francisco. Huge Teams, huge maps, huge restructurings, huge internal machinery, and then the chair gets removed while the employee is still sitting in it.
- Ubisoft’s global headcount is down about 1,200k from a year earlier. This is the AAA accordion: expand, monetize, disappoint, consolidate, announce focus, cut people, repeat until the brand is just a map icon with severance paperwork.
- Tekken 8 chief producer and game director Kohei Ikeda has left Bandai Namco after 20 years.
- Model Debut4 is coming to Switch 2 and PC on August 27.
- Goblin Company is today’s release-calendar creature.
- Price Watch: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is $39.99 on Steam, $37.49 on Xbox / Microsoft Store, and $42.99 on PlayStation Store. No official Switch / Switch 2 price found today. The AA province is not exactly cheap-cheap, but it is still priced like a game rather than a small claims lawsuit.
- Silksong remains $19.99 across the major platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and Switch 2. Also on Game Pass.
The Absolute State: Xbox is being eaten by RAM, Ubisoft is being eaten by itself, and Indie remains A Reprieve. |
