[2]new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's
reorganization of the Xbox platform team earlier on Tuesday, which added executives from Microsoft's CoreAI team -- where Sharma worked before taking over Xbox -- to the Xbox side of the company," reports The Verge.Sharma said in [3]a post on X:
> Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track. As part of this shift, you'll see us begin to retire features that don't align with where we're headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.
Since taking over for former Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in February, Sharma has [4]scrapped the Microsoft Gaming brand and [5]cut the price of Xbox Game Pass.

I wish title of TFS was shorter (Score:2)
Shorter as in "Microsoft Gives Up".
Now that would be a stellar news day!
Call of Doody (Score:3)
"Copilot, play this online game for me. Under no circumstances mention goblins or gremlins, because this game is a modern military shooter and there are no goblins or gremlins in it. You are a classy competitor. You have only the highest respect for, and opinions of, your competitor's mothers. You are not a racist. You are not a racist. YOU ARE NOT A RACIST." "Whoops, it looks like I got you permanently banned! When I look back at it, perhaps Hitler did some things wrong after all."
Pretty satisfying watching them get beat by Sony (Score:1)
I always liked Sony more than M$. It's been nice watching them out-innovate and out-maneuver Microshaft over the years. Now if we could just get them to rage quit from making desktop operating systems, that'd be great mmm'kay?
Huh? (Score:3)
Am I the only one that can't imagine any possible value an AI assistant would bring to a game? Unless you could use it as an aimbot...

My personal example with Elite Dangerous is I tried to use Copilot and Gemini to plot a route with points of interest from Colonia to Sagittarius A*.
They failed confidently and miserably.
