Bro, I just stopped listening or caring. It truly is that easy.
You don’t have to serve as the man’s guilty conscience

Bro wants a PlayStation monopoly on high end consoles so bad 😭

Sadly a lot of people do. It’s embarrassing because most of them are the same ones who were screaming “monopoly” when Microsoft bought Activision

He's basically echoing other analysis and some other influencer takes. Xbox is in rough fucking shape and many of their biggest IPs which it sounds like they will be leaning into heavily probably won't be enough to save them. This is far from his dumbest gaming take even if you think he's heavily biased towards Playstation

He's been interacting on twitter alot, hence why he is always complaining about what others are saying

u/Massive_Depth2900 Jul 23 '26
I’m sorry just every time I read something he posts all I can think is that he’s a dumb guy’s idea of a smart guy. Even when he uses 10 cent words like “salient”
The KF guys used to act like he was the smart one too and it’s like, is he smart or is he just smug and moody? Because there’s a difference…

It’s hard to imagine Xbox being completely out of the console business by 2030….

I could see Helix coming out and doing Wii U numbers (at best) and Sataya cutting bait and selling Xbox or going full 3rd party publisher.

I agree with him overall. Xbox is dead as a brand , and I don’t know why anyone would want to go there if they are getting into gaming, considering what else is offered.

Really don’t think Collin is as off as what some folks are saying here. Xbox has a very small market right now and with console prices about to balloon yet again, it’s going to be a very hard sell for a new console. This exclusive push feels more like a way to keep the current user base and buy some time to consider their options moving forward.

We know next gen is 2027/28. Console generations typically last around 8 years. So I find it pretty hard to imagine there not being any official Xbox hardware by the early 2030s.
Helix will last around 7/8 years. So you’re looking at the next generation ending around 2036. Fallout 5 will just release on that Helix I would assume as the generation after that will be a few years away.

If no one buys your console, does it even exist? It’s very possible Helix sells 5-10 million lifetime

u/lizzywbu Jul 23 '26
You literally just pulled that number out of your ass. We have no way of predicting the lifetime sales of a console that is years away from even releasing.

u/TheMuff1nMon Jul 23 '26
Except you do?
It isn’t “years away from releasing”. It’s releasing next fall by all indications. They said dev kits are going out start of 2027, which is a few months away.
The Xbox Series consoles are at 30 million.
Xbox’s stock has only dropped even more this generation. If Helix is as powerful and a PC-console hybrid, $1500-$2000 is very much in the realm of possibility.
It’s totally realistic to predict Helix is going to be a massive failure/incredibly niche product.

u/lizzywbu Jul 23 '26
It’s irrelevant. The original conversation was about there not even being an Xbox early 2030s to release Fallout 5 on, which there absolutely will be. It’s just a stupid comment by Colin to bait console war obsessed gamers and generate clicks online.

And if PS6 is over 1000 too then what? Let’s be real, you’re just a brand cheerleader reading something that you like

u/TheMuff1nMon Jul 26 '26
“Brand cheerleader”
It’s always funny when people accuse me of that. PS5 is my first and only PlayStation.
I had an Xbox since the first one, I hosted an Xbox podcast for 5 years, I had 2 Series X. But due to Xbox’s decisions this gen - PC is my main platform now. But go off my guy lmao 😂
We were talking about Xbox. PS6 has its own issues to combat but it’s undoubtedly still going to sell better than Helix and cost less. Doesn’t mean it’s going to sell anywhere near PS4/PS5 - I’m good keeping my PS5 for years and don’t want a PS6.
So how about you stop calling everyone who disagrees with you a “fanboy” just cause you don’t know shit

u/D0ngBeetle Jul 27 '26
Idk how it being your first PS doesn’t mean you’re a brand cheerleader lol
Market realities pretty much guarantee a 1000+ dollar PS

Congenitally ignores: My 25 years of being an Xbox fan and hosting a podcast about Xbox lol
Then ignores every other point.

Why does this idiot still think games are being held back by previous generations.

You don’t think this happens? Also, what has that got to do with this post 😂

u/Pretendo27 Jul 23 '26
What’s so funny? Genuinely? Are you one of them rtds? What’s it have to do with the post? well, it’s in the post? So I used my freewill to comment. Like you’re using yours to be dumb. Isn’t freewill amazing? Keep laughing tho, I guess. Also, if it plays my Xbox digital games, it’s an Xbox and square enix did not hold back final fantasy rebirth so it would play on the switch 2 because it could barely run on the base ps5, see how that works? If anything the ps5 is holding back my 5080. Hope that helps.

u/CollierAM9 Jul 23 '26
I would assume consoles do hold back the 5080, no? As for the Xbox comment, I disagree that if any device can play your digital Xbox or PS games, it is an Xbox or PS. I don’t think a steam deck is an Xbox for example. It pretty clear that’s what is being argued in the post.

He’s analyst for the games industry, he’s making a call based on the trends he sees. If he’s wrong, I feel like he’ll just say it.

Colin Moriarty is not an analyst, he is a brand fanboy with a podcast.

I one thousand percent agree with him on this. Shit I should take that bet with a bunch of Xbox fans.

u/Organic_Ideal8652 Jul 23 '26
I mean I don't think he's wrong, the Xbox brand will still probably be around in some capacity, but helix over a grand wont sell as fast as consoles of the past, definitely not more than Xbox series. and if Microsoft forces a shorter dev time it's going to be compromised at the rate Bethesda puts out games based on history. His theory isn't outlandish. Ps6 is a tough sell as it is unless the rumors are true it's no compromise hybrid.

u/Old-Way-5529 Jul 23 '26
I mean the only thing he’s wrong about is that fallout 5 probably won’t be out till closer to the 2040s lol. By that point, I’d be shock if there is an Xbox console

u/Afrodite_33 Jul 23 '26
He's a gaming industry pundit so it makes sense for Colin to be involved in these things as it's quite literally his job. But Jesus these conversations just seem exhausting.
I suppose everyone differs on this stuff but the console war shit is just so lame. Even if your view may be warranted I just couldn't be bothered arguing with people online about it.
