You're projecting way to much misinformation, the One S which replaces the current XB1 has the same hardware as the current XB1. Phil Spencer has stated this in multiple places, One S replaces the XB1 on an entry level. Scorpio is an updated XB1 but has no exclusive games the current XB1 and One S will run the same games Scorpio does albeit at a lower resolution, framerate and detail levels.

There are plenty of reasons for a slim to exist, just like there are plenty of ...

There are no Scorpio exclusive games, it's amazing you guys keep missing that detail but here we are. It's all part of the Xbox One "family".

"Full support? Meaning what? Bugs will be patched? Well gee, thanks. No Mans Sky is a unique thing and the size and scope of it doesn't lend itself to DLC. Something like Fallout or ES? Of course that's ripe for self contained stories and content later down the line.

No one has a gun to your head, no one is forcing you to buy DLC. Think it should have been in the final game? Don't buy the game at all, publishers and developers owe you nothing.

Kudos for playing the standalone expansion to GR1, Desert Siege was also pretty good the console ports (at least on Xbox were remarkably solid). What always blows my mind is how people hold Vegas 1&2 in such high regard. They were fine games, even though the single player was extremely action movie esque. But with the 3rd person cover system, they seemed like the consolized simplification of RB6. Look at RB1, Rogue Spear and Raven Shield/Athena Sword on the PC. Vegas looks ridiculous in c...

Very different games, don't be a troll.

It's not going away, it's changing. Why shouldn't people be able to play Halo, Gears or Forza on their PC if that's what they wish to do? That just sounds like more available customers for their software and hopefully bigger and better investment in new games by Microsoft Studios. No one really loses anything, if you want the experience on a console it's still there, if you don't you can purchase it on a PC. You're right, there is a chance this can all go tits up a...

Split screen/Couch multiplayer.

My PC is on a desk in an office, I still need a console to play games with friends when they're over.

It's maybe a small anecdotal example but I can't ply split screen Halo (MCC) with my lady friend on a computer, if Gears 4 has split screen coop we can't do that on a PC.

Also to be frank, I'm not into the idea of having games somewhere that isn't Steam. I've had Windows 8 and 10 since their respective preview builds and never looked at their app stores. I'm just not interested in MS' app ecosystem on the PC.

I said in the other article, One S is the exact same as the Base Model XB1. It's just a die shrink, less power, less heat, less noise. Anyone who thought the One S was going to come with a performance bump was lying to themselves 100%.

That being said the One S is a great looking hardware refresh. It won't be PS2 slim levels of tiny but the internal PSU and smaller foot print will definitely benefit me, my entertainment centre is crowwwwded.

Yeah people aren't reading the fine print here, the bump here is not game changing when you compare the current PS4 and XB1S. This looks like it's largely just MS and AMD taking advantage of the die shrink, which is a good thing; less heat, less energy consumed, less noise.

Anyways, you could probably try posting relevant information in a less combative, confrontational way. What I can surmise from your "Secret Sauce" and "Sorry,Xbone fans. Your dream...

Yeah but PowerBrickeisha never shuts up, just drones on and on and she likes to be noticed so she wears the oddest white LED constantly. Honestly dude, it's a positive getting out of that relationship.

Pack it up everybody, Larry said something on Twitter three years ago.

QB is pretty darn atrocious, and having people tell me "I didn't get it" was about as insulting as the Inception "You just don't get it" argument for how that movie wasn't a total mess. What kind of bothers me is the notion that fans, who we have all seen are not rational or well thought out with their statements get their attitudes attached to games. I don't recall MS or Remedy ever comparing QB to TLOU or Uncharted, any "fan" who did so never ha...

That's not the point, nothing about Crash was above average or special. It wasn't funny then, it isn't funny now and it will never be funny. Crash is a relic of the 90's and there is a reason no one cared about the games post ND, and it's not because ND wasn't on the project so don't even start.

Activision owns Spyro, Square owns Parasite Eve and Third Birthday stank, They did bring back Sly Cooper and no one bought it, Tenchu has come back multiple times and no one cares, Twisted Metal had David Jaffe on the project and it still didn't sell, Sony Closed Studio Liverpool so who would care about a new wipeout? Dino Crisis was kind of bad, DC2 was better and DC3 was horrifically bad, do you really trust Capcom to not shit the bed after SFV? I don't. Do you not remember how bad ...

Back in the day you had people trying to rationalize that Crash was better than Super Mario 64. I can understand feeing nostalgic for things like the music, but nothing about Crash Bandicoot as a character was ever great. I guess in the third one he had a leather jacket and some cool shades, you know...late 90's garbage.

Uncharted 1-3 weren't shooters, really? The most requested thing on PSBlog isn't SOCOM 2? Killzone 2-3 aren't among the top selling PS3 exclusives? Call of Duty didn't sell comparable numbers on PS3? Warhawk isn't listed consistently as some peoples favourite PS3 title?

Both platforms had plenty of shooting going on, to say any game failed because of an audiences predilection is just being ignorant to the larger forces at play. Alan Wake was a chopped do...

Quantum Break is a high quality polished game, it's just not particularly good. The powers were boring, the story was just stupid and it had some serious issues with platforming.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again in reference to QB's review scores. If 77 and by extension scores in the low to mid 80's are considered "tier 2" or "bad", we are all f'd.

Could you stop pigeon holing one platform? There is very little to back it up, especially with all the variables involved with Alan Wakes many delays, downsizing (it was unveiled as an open world game) and it being dropped without much fanfare at release. Just because certain series of a certain genre sell better on one platform or another doesn't mean that's an indicator of the platforms entire fanbase.

Alan Wake was never going to be a game that shipped millions ...

Even if they decide they wanted to try their hand at a PS4 exclusive or a PC exclusive, it's not a disservice to anyone. It's business, people need to stop thinking about these companies like they have a personal relationship with them. You don't.
