Microsoft couldn't have BC as early as PS2 because the OG Xbox was in its infancy along with the prospect of a Microsoft console. 360 however offers OG Xbox backwards compatibility then Xbox One has some form of BC. PS4 offers none.

Microsoft is currently doing it too plus allowing Gold subscribers to keep 360 content even if your subscription lapses. If your Plus expires you do not get to keep your games.

Microsoft had a headphone jack during the 360...

I designed one somewhat similar to this but that'd be me. I'd pay more for my specific idea but others may save a little and get this one instead.

To answer the question, it's Mossy Oak inspired.

Not to mention potentially showing games for the system as we know some devs have been working with Scorpio for a bit now

It's hilarious that people are condoning hacking the PS4 to do this while multiple applications have come to XOne doing the same without a hack yet gets deemed wrong

@FunAndGun: That was pretty well the point. If you cannot provide production cost then you as well have no way to know if profits are possible, even without other factors listed above. Apple, since their store hosts said product gets a cut. Servers also have to be in place due to DRM. Those servers cost along with maintenance.

But alas, you're speaking of unknown factors. What is listed above should be common knowledge and can be verified. I'd also add that if you c...

@FunAndGun: If you're asking me you clearly don't know either but then why would you? These stories again, have been popping up but they all list pretty well the same totals since day four as far as revenue goes. As it has been shown on numerous occasions downloads are increasing but purchases have virtually flatlined meaning they aren't gaining revenue. A purchase would be required without microtransactions to gain revenue.

Further since it has an always online...

3 million purchases versus 90 million downloads is in every way a flop. It effectively shows one out of every thirty people have purchased. Further totals and information received has been the same since day four outside of download totals with conversion dropping more daily.

Further with a $10 pricetag to purchase instead of opting for microtransactions and no change to purchase totals actually shows it stopped generating revenue after day four. Conversion at that point wa...

Then at the point they introduced PS+ as required for online play on PS4 "free" games became less of an incentive based on the fact that online play took some incentive too, correct?

No part of that is even stated in the original comment or even inferred. Further basis for the statement is actually posted above in the form of a response from MS stating that Scorpio is part of the Xbox family.

With that logic is that why Sony released the Pro?

@Aenea: This whole story is based on hypotheticals as it pertains to performance throughout 2017. Unless of course you have that crystal ball out.

Not in the least. The author chose to ask a question then, here, got a response to the very same question asked.

What's pretty funny about this though is the fact you attempted to sound educated while using a response from another forum area.

Now, want to know what makes this story funny? People talking about game development, bringing up the new game mode, then referencing what game mode actually does. Allows your PC resources to be allocated to bett...

The other thing missing from this story is the fact it's already been stated new content is also not happening while Nintendo have already stated they're already looking to release a sequel.

Of course Nintendo already has the money of users who paid, allowing no repercussions for no updates or new content.

You mean like the Other OS feature the PS3 had that was later removed without any fix attempt by Sony themselves?

...You're linking to a public forum post that on numerous occasions takes the time to reinforce the fact that there is no story there but a conspiracy theory.

Seriously. You're basing fact on a forum post that begins with, "I was watching the latest episode of the PS I Love You XOXO yesterday when the topic of conversation turned to the now former PS4 exclusive Rime came, as I'm sure your aware that developer Tequila Works gained back control of the IP but ...

We kinda already heard this "news" over a week ago.

It had 40 million downloads in four days. It was reported then roughly 4% had actually purchased it.

Now we have a gross amount to add another factor. This shows that roughly 3% purchased. $30 million divided by $10 per purchase would show 3 million purchases.

If this article represents current numbers and not previously stated numbers then it actually shows that in ten days ...

And for all you know it could go the route of Wii U and numerous other Nintendo products. That at least is based on factual history involving Nintendo.

...Why do people keep insisting on the 8 GB PS4 last minute rumor?

http://www.techradar.com/ne...

The only thing altered at the last minute was resources available to developers, increasing from 4 GB to 4.5.

@deafdani: It's been in development for that long but not specifically for Switch. Breath of the Wild was originally designed for Wii U exclusively.

I'd bet they do based on what they're already providing.

6 teraflops, 4K Blu-Ray message is already there with One S, and increased specs. I'd also expect them to talk about supported VR devices and a possible future for HoloLens.
