I realise they haven\u2019t shown anything yet but I don\u2019t see how they can get way from the fact that it\u2019s going to be super expensive. That\u2019s the only detail they\u2019ve given so far and it\u2019s kind of one you can\u2019t get way from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I\u2019m going to say that right now, considering everything that\u2019s going on in the world, and the certainty that things are only going to get more expensive in the short term, nobody is in the mood for spending hundreds and hundreds of pounds on a next gen Xbox.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If I were them I\u2019d just give up all hope of making consoles and concentrate on being a third party publisher. They\u2019ve got plenty of big names, many of which have not been treated well in recent years, and I actually think being distracted by Project Helix could be a big problem for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Microsoft want a comeback for Xbox but I just think it\u2019s too late. They\u2019ve messed up too many times and I think the Xbox One was their last real chance, which the failure of the Xbox Series X \u2013 which wasn\u2019t a bad console \u2013 kind of proves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Winston<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<h2 class=\"factbox-title\" style=\"text-align: justify\">     Expert, exclusive gaming analysis   <\/h2>\n<div class=\"factbox-content\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sign up to the <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">GameCentral newsletter<\/strong> for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more.

I think we\u2019ve known for a while now that the audience for single-player games is skewing older but there\u2019s two alternatives here and one of them is not a bad thing at all. Either only old people like \u2018proper\u2019 games and when they die off there is no audience left (which is obviously bad) or people just get into traditional games as they get older, which is fine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You\u2019re not likely to be too interested in fishing or gardening or loads of other things when you\u2019re a teenager but that doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t get into them later. Video games have long ago stopped being a thing that only young kids like and there\u2019s now different types for all kinds of different people, at different points in their life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Your taste in music changes over the years so maybe your taste in games does too. I know mine has, although when I was a teenager you didn\u2019t have nearly the variety in gaming you do today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Scooter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Lucky number seven<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nintendo has got to be trolling us with the Directs now. Six in 2026 and not one of them is a proper one or has announced anything of any real interest? I checked the list from last year and there\u2019s already nearly more this year than the whole of 2025, and we\u2019ve only just started March!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Please, Nintendo, just put us all out of our miseries and do something. Or at least don\u2019t call a new trailer for a movie, and two minutes of blather from some Hollywood mouthpieces, a Direct. It\u2019s not a Direct, none of the things you\u2019ve had this year so far have been, as far as I\u2019m concerned. It\u2019s put up or shut up at this point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Korbie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Email your comments to: gamecentral@.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Yearly schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I\u2019m not sure I remember Nintendo announcing or releasing anything in particular on MAR10 Day before. It\u2019s usually just sales and merch and littler things like that. A Mario Kart World update would be interesting, but that only means Nintendo is getting even more unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Even with another not-Direct announced I still think there\u2019s a good chance of the big one this month. Unless\u2026 the Switch 2 reveal was in April so maybe they\u2019re going to make that an annual thing? That could be their main time for unveiling things now. It\u2019s only a guess but I think we\u2019ve got to realise that as weird as unpredictable as Nintendo seems to us, to them what they\u2019re doing always makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Zeiss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Inbox also-rans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It\u2019s a shame there\u2019s never really be a definitive Star Trek game. There are a bunch of good ones but no great ones, I would say. Bridge Commander is probably my favourite but it was only combat based with not much else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Kaon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Just want to add another recommendation for Minishoot\u2019 Adventures. Zelda in a spaceship does sum it up pretty well and while that\u2019s an odd idea I\u2019m really enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Email your comments to: gamecentral@.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">The small print<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">New Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
