No games so kind of pointless.
$399 as of right now. They go as high as $699
Sold out like the day one editions? :/
You keep sucking that false pr nipple.

They did not try to improve it. They convinced people it was improved.
Fans did not change it, it was the joke of empty promises that made everyone laugh at the second versioning which was such a small upgrade, it was really just covering the cost of when they bought the technology from the creators.
Ehhhhhhhh
I would not call them the sharpest knives in the drawer. Kinect one was a overhyped and over promised gadget of which let everyone down and 3 years later they release a new one.
What are we... 7-8 years without a new 1st party AAA title game from a game company?
Two consoles being abandoned after 4 years.
Two years of denying the rrod....
They will try again. Probably make it optional this time.
Septic usually creates all sorts of fan wars by creating click bait biased opinion pieces. Welcome to n4g
OT it is not great news. They want to move on as fast as possible thinking power is what is going to get them back in the market.
Especially that game stores always do a trade in program every time a console releases. This is not new or news. It will not be any better of a deal that has transpired over the last few cycles.
Depends, what do you call "dead"? I mean, it will most likely outsell any Xbox exclusive or Sony exclusive on the Xbox and ps4 alone sooo.... May not do the numbers it once did, but higher numbers are still good and not dead.
Sony was not caught off guard. They have games to sell the ps4.
Microsoft had blown their gaming library and we're getting closer to being called out on "the cloud" so they are going towards power. Then they will take their wallets and attack third party studios, but this could misfire as well. I do not think the PC community will be ready to hear Xbox/Windows exclusive on more games.
The only gamers excited for the Scorpio are the same gamers that have been d...
Microsoft will not sell at a big loss or, they are doing their pr hype about what the console can actually do.
I would compare it to their surface and surface pro of which they never sold at a loss while trying to compete with the iPad.
They will do at least one year with a high price.
If not, good for their fans, but I dought it when looking at their history.
@candystop
I kind of agree but, as shown this gen, the fan base for Xbox is not strong enough to keep a console relevant. So like you said, it may have to do with power....
The differences between the two is the biggest between the two to date. Do not belittle it because
Going to PC
And halo 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Ooo let's not forget forza 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
....
This would have been good news last gen, but since Microsoft is running the oils dry on the only franchises they have it is like.,, not exciting.
Will be interesting to see what their third party deals will do and trying to create exclusives against steam etc.
Yay the PC is going to get the venom that is Microsoft. Enjoy.
@starchild you do realize they also produce games? If those games fail and the developers can not provide anything, Sony breaks them up. Usually forming another development studio.
What Microsoft absorbed has all gone down in quality and produce very little.
Rare? Imaginary black tusk?
They had to buy their halo, releases the worst in the series. Buys gears of war, we will see what happens.
Plus, huge difference in realizing talent and buying a company a...
It is the developers that need to take the hit.
The year long exclusive game deals that Microsoft desperately needs to do to seem like it has games needs to stop.
If Microsoft wants to be a gaming company, they should make games.
They are known for their monopoly tactics because all they do is absorb and buy rather than actually create.
Them, but there is more than a graphics card at hand in the box. Rumored 5x more powerful than the one. It will be 499 to 599. The only time Microsoft sells something cheap is when they made and it and it is not selling.
Is this like the Xbox one day one edition sold out that you can still buy today or is it like sold out?
Anything with Microsoft in it is so hard to believe anymore.
What you pieced together was proven to be false. That article did not coincide with facts that were already out on the Internet from their own tweets.
When money switches hands, contracts are made.
You are saying Microsoft gave out money in good faith than dictated after the fact? Does that truly make sense to you?
And you are saying respawn needed the money, asked ea and ea said no more but went and asked Microsoft for money, then ea gave it to respawn?
I...
So how is it that it was announced exclusive so close to release and respawn had no idea?
That is the kink in your words.
For if it was all funding than the deal would have been made first.
The money would have gone to respawn not ea. Why would EA collect money that respawn was begging for?
Microsoft does not just hand out money and then say, you know what, you have enough that we think it should be exclusive. Business does not work like that.
Plu...
@EpicSandwich
More halo, gears, forza... I would say fable but looks like they killed it.
Can you name a first party game other than those in the last 6 years?
