If people just paid attention for once.

Phil Spencer is creating a recurring revenue stream to help fund other things.

Halo 5: Multiplayer still going strong
Gears
Xbox Live Gold
Controllers

Believe it or not; all of these are generating revenue (and soon to be game pass) for Phil Spencer. So when Phil goes to Terry Myerson or even CEO Sataya Nadella, he can bring something to the table when asking for a pos...

@bluefox785

Did u even read the article?

The dev was just taking a guess on Scorpio (even admits that, they havent even touched a Scorpio dev kit)

does this make seven yrs of NPD reporting (on software) irrelevant?

you think it was playstation alone?
sony has amazing camera tech
cost savings on insurance
playstation doing amazingly well
chips division doing amazingly well...

and yet their plants are in a earthquake zone (which damaged them very bad last time around)... maybe they should move their facilities to a more secure location...

"Something funny, you can replace "12gb" with "the cloud" and the rest of the title reads just like their sales pitches of the early Xbox one days.
It's all pr."

This is officially the dumbest comment i've read so far... but i've only just begun...

how is a physical actual item in the box the same as server hosting/services???

@iDadio...

Phil and team have repeatedly said over and over, if there is a PC variant of the AAA game it can moved to Scorpio wit little to no effort at all. Scorpio can run the OC variant of the game due to the xdk being able to now support almost every engine under the sun.

Its been repeated many time over, less time developmenting/porting and more time optimizing.. not only that but the dev kits allow brand new games to be developed in a faster time...

@iDadio....

If u think im only thinking about Flops... ur way off base.

Im thinking about every engine out and every game thats out put through 30K simulations each...

And i love how PC players brag about PC, and then proceed to show that they have the slightest clue on how it all works... PC's always have for the most part, brute force their way through games. Easy development tools on PC is a big plus, but PC's have NEVER used...

@iDiado have u not been paying attention?.. there is NO effort for a Scopio variant of the game.. thats the beauty of the device. devs can get to native 4K resolution within days to a week. no matter the engine. that way they have a ton more time to spend on optimizatins (graphics, controles, etc)

@objdadon and im willing to bet they could remix an older title like Quantum Break and it would be on par if not better looking than God of War...I have a PS4Pro and have Unchar...

@GamingIVfun

and they dont have to "win" a console war... xbox has to only prove itself to microsoft management and shareholders...

playstation has to win... or the sony we know will become a distant memory... look how much sony has changed from the launch of ps4 to now...
