Maybe they have a way of putting KB/M players in seperate lobbies from controller players. You PC guys are gonna get smoked no matetr what you use. Think Im scared of your mechanical keyboards and fany mouses. I got a Rat 9 and and a razer chroma. Ill still curb stomp and chainsaw you with my elite controller. Xbox gears players will F*** you up. Aint nobody scared of ya'll! I man handle Pc gamers all the time on hawken with my elite. Its nothing. Bring it on. Angry xbox owners will proba...
"We actually want your content to be able to stay with you."
I know. The fact that more and more of my X360 games show up in my 'ready to install' list is a testament to that
"backwards and forwards compatability when you think about innovation in the hardware space"
"decoupling the game from the hardware TO SOME EXTENT, allows the hardware to move WITHIN a generation"
Three things:
Well that sucks. lol. Still...I must be able to run some crazy graphics settings at 60FPS.
Not gonna happen. It will be a Xbox/W10 exclusive.
"i dont know why people dont understand its plain simple."
Oh dont worry...its only PS4 fanboys having a hard time with all this. I and other Xbox gamers on here, want an upgradable console. People seem to think its they will build a new SKU every year when actually its more like "choose your own GPU"...Non xbox gamers who hate xbox are trying REAL hard in thee articles. Still...it makes me chuckle just a little.
"Lol both of those failed miserably , so people didn't want to upgrade a console"
People also didnt want expensive VR headsets back then either...its a different age, mate. And as Azzanation said...most people dont want to build a PC to play xbox games. Shoot....most cant afford to build a descent rig that would play QB at xbox like settings...and they use tablets and laptops for stuff they used to do on a computer...because they dont need PC's..hence why deskt...

"Benefit of PC is that you wont have to buy proprietary parts and use that awful windows store"
You have to use that "awful windows store" anyway if you want to play KI, gears or forza:apex. You also need a XBL account...sooooooo....

"If that was the case why would Satya sign off on another XBOX PC/console hybrid with upgrade cycles? You make zero sense and would be wise to keep your trolling comments to yourself."
Dont waste your time on em bruh. The thought of an xbox that is literaaly a console in a box, with upgradable GPU, scare the shit out of these guys..so they cling to this imaginary notion that MS is just making Xbox a service. its already a service on a co...
The DIRT games were arcade rally games with a terrible handling model. this is more like a return to their Colin Mcrae days. This is going to be a proper rally game. if thats not your sort of thing.....
Could be the game I buy an occulus for....4K in VR would be insane with this game.
@SolidStoner
"especially when you can sell them (getting back 80% value, if sold in right time). And I buy used games for like 30 euro every month"
Maybe for you. Here in the UK, they buy your games back for less than half what you paid for it, then stick it back on the shelf for a tenner less than a new game. CEX, gamestation and GAME all do it. I dont take part in that. I think its a mugs game. I have hudreds of digital games between my X360, X1 a...
"I don't know how long it's been since you played PC games."
LOl...about 12 hours ago. Firefall and asseto corsa, actually...would you like to check my steam account out?
"Steam changed all that"
And yet steam machines fail at being PCs, because they dont run on windows. No pro level apps run on steam OS or linux. MS on the other hand works with pro level app manufacturers. I was beta testing cubase on W10 for the purpos...
Thats completely irrelevant to somebody interested in an xbox. Whats more interesting is every Pc exclusive aswell as xbox exclusives available on a device that is not a playstation. You may never get to play something like firefall or star citizen on PS4...xbox gamers might be doing that in the next 4 or so years. You can keep your UC4, thanks..besides..It wont be long before we are able to stream PS4 and 5 games to our PCs, day one of release, thanks to PSNow.

"Buying AMD will cost a lot of money."
And yet MS could buy them a few times over and still not have to make cuts. Money is not the issue here.
"You really think they will buy AMD just for xbox? Or do you think they want challenge intel and nvidia, who dominate the markets amd competes in."
No.Not just for xbox...for surface and phones aswell as mobile GPUs for other companies. They can still cooperate w...
@Sparta07
I agree it will be the next one. But here the beauty of it all: The XB1 games will work on it from day one. as will the X360 games that are BC. So for me, I will have two generations of digital games ( I have not bought disc games in years...except for on my PS4)on my next xbox...and one hell of a backlog. I have literally hundreds of games between X360 and XB1. They will all work on my next xbox...Im cool with them rolling out this new upgradable console in the nex...
@ARESWARLORD
I was about to say the same thing.
They might not have a sales advantage, but for sure they will have a hardware advantage. Also I happen to think forza is the best racing game and halo 5 is easily the best MP shooter out there. In addition to what death said..... all of that appeals to me, more than the PS4.
The xbox will be the first console that gets upgrading,right. And a lot of that is thanks to MS software engineering prowess. ...
Disc swapping is so 2006...
Well...We DO...We call it the XBOX not the steam box. Other people seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around the latest round of news.
I think this is a game changer of HUGE proportions with lasting effects if they pull this off. I know one thing ...PC gamers will never be able to pull that "master race " crap with an xbox gamer who has the latest high end GPU attached to their xbox...digital foundry articles on N4G will NEVER be the same again.
They wont be doing it anyway, so the question does not matter.A better question is what form will the PS5 take....
Most people will still play these games on xbox. The only people upgrading their PCs for these games are hardcore PC gamers who have W10 and an XBL silver account.
