I hope there'll be YouTube videos of the X1 trying to handle various types of heavily accented English.
"Axe-box own!"
He's leaving at end of March, pretty the end of the fiscal year. Company staff usually gets turned for new blood, new ideas. He did aim for 5 mil PS4 sold by March and that goal turned out almost modest.
Actually this reaffirms that X1's Kinect stays. The remote communicates with the Kinect instead of the console. If they start selling a Kinect-less SKU, the Media Remote won't sell as good as expected.
From what I understand, the Media Remote speaks to the Kinect, not the Xbox One itself. If they were to do a Kinectless Xbox One, they'll loose sale on the Media Remote as well.
It was mention earlier that Daylight will have the PS4 camera automatically take your picture the moment after a jump-scare. Is this still a thing? :3
MS has overlooked, or severely disregarded, the overall international gamers. Xbox One technology is severely limited in its voice command, localized multimedia content. Even MS knows it since they had reduced their 2013 launch countries to 13. In addition, overused of those features is limiting the gameplay power of its console. For most places outside the North America and the UK, Xbox One is a poorer choice.
For many console launches, regions such as Asia Pacific and Sout...
Japanese gamers, like any gamers, will need more than one game to justify purchasing the more expensive games console that isn't optimized for the Asian market, let alone a Japanese market.
It took an indie-sized group 48 hours to build. And made the 4-year-old device more fun than most of what big game companies had came up with before. Seriously, make this a full game! :D
That's great, Microsoft. How about some upgrades to voice command localization, option to disable TV/Entertainment module (since it barely works outside US,UK), optimize the Gaming module to hardware capacity, get that live-streaming bit running and maybe announce a definite release date for Asian countries?
Almost. It's pretty cheeky of the Japanese. Think of it as how UK sees itself from the rest of Europe, lol.
As a gamer from a heavy PC-playing region, venturing into console gaming for the first time got me to depend on a lot of online reviews, opinions and articles.
Since I'm also trying to get my friends into consoles, I hope whatever reviews I've collected is an actual in-depth honest of all the device's pros and cons. I rather not be linking to an advertising in disguise, even when I hadn't realized it at the time.
If MS had realized how limited their voice recognition and TV/Entertainment support was, they could have pushed for regional localization and wouldn't have had to cut down from 20+ countries release day to only 13 countries.
Just to note that tech is limited in various areas as well as advanced in others. The trick is knowing what's your core market got most at the home.

Majority of consumers are the international market, where the capability for X1's TV/Entertainment features are almost non-existent.
The interview mentioned the 360 lack of sales in Japan; one reason is that the 360 has limited localized content. The X1 needs to support some good localized content and should cater to local language and local cable providers.
Otherwise, to the broader audience, MS's gaming console can ...
Xbox One's feature was a mandatory thing. You can't play any next-gen games on the next-gen gaming device if not online. Luckily, MS pulled that out and the gamers won.
PSNow is an option you can ignore if not interested. If you're online or offline with PSNow, it doesn't affect your playing on the PS4.
PS5 is still a long way off. If it will or will not become a game streaming console, who is to say but the makers themselves. The article uses PSNow as a factor, an unproven service but no longer just a concept anymore. It has been demo'd successfully.
One key factor of PSNow is that you do not need a PS console to play, you can use a PC or tablet or phone or a Bravia TV. IF PS5 were to become a cheap game streaming console, most folks would prefer not to buy the hardware...
PSNow is an option. You don't need to buy a PS console for it. If you do have PSNow, staying online or offline does not affect how you play games on PS4 console.
Back then, Xbox One needed to be connected online. Otherwise, you can't play any games. Good thing the gamers won and MS pulled that out.
PSNow might be a norm, it might not be a norm. Who can tell? Doubt it would affected the core PlayStation gaming hardware much. PSNow would depend on a lot of different tech specifics and Sony isn't unaware of tech evolution.
PSNow is more like a branching to a new idea. Then Sony would cater to two target markets; those who like game streaming and those who prefer console gaming.
PlayStation Now is an option. You don't need to buy a next-gen console to use it. Having it or not having it doesn't affect how you play on the PS4.
Xbox One's feature was mandatory. It was needed or else no games can be played. Good thing the gamers won and MS pulled that out.
@Cranberry
Yeah, GamerZines drew the conclusion on PSNow for Europe too early. Googling other news, it was mentioned that Europe need more time before PSNow can comes in due to various constraints.

My home WiFi ain't helping. If ever I needed to do online multiplayer, I had to use my phone as a hotspot and that's not cool (I mean, device gets pretty hot after a while)
