I’m excited!

I bet you check out every Phil Spencer interview, don't you?

This is good information to have, especially since I recently figured out that letting starter villagers move out when they want to instead of using a camper is a much more efficient method for being able to get them back right away (if you have your heart set on them coming back, and being the existing villager). For the uninitiated, the two starters have very basic house interiors, and the next three villagers to join have stock house interiors according to their personality type. But, wh...

A whole five games? And the crowd goes..."meh". That's less than what gets added to any other system on a weekly basis.

My trick is something called resignation.

Yeah, it makes perfect sense for a highly successful franchise to completely drop everything that made it successful. Hey, why don't you start a game studio and tell me how it goes? You clearly know more than those who actually work in the industry. /s

I think both are important. Good hardware allows more room for creativity. On the other hand, that's only half the battle. Hardware is a tool, and the better the tool, the more potential can come out of it. But, you still need someone to work with that tool.

You joke, but that may very well be a thing in the future. I've heard there are already fridges where people can surf social media, so it's possible there will come a time when there's sophisticated enough hardware, and a sufficient OS to run a game like Skyrim. Sure, unless fridges and toasters end up using a standard OS found on other devices that's capable of running programs like Steam and EGS, I doubt we would get an official release, and I don't think that would ev...

Have they, though? Ok, I’ll be fair and give them the benefit of the doubt, and wait to see what they have to show us. But, I’m not convinced they’ve changed all that much at this point in time.

Yeah, I suppose there have been times they've succeeded in spreading their ideas. They seem to have had more influence back when the Xbox brand was at its most successful though, with the 360. I haven't seen nearly as much in the way of post-360 MS influence on other systems.

I'm sure it will normalize it...for Xbox. I guess we all need our weekly dose of "thing Xbox is doing could become an industry standard" articles, but that's really not a notion I subscribe to, unless there's clear evidence that Sony and/or Nintendo are also doing that thing. In this case there's not. Actually, that's proven to be the case with a lot of these kinds of articles. This isn't the first, and probably won't be the last...unfortunately. And...

Instead we're forever haunted by Konami's terrible decision to cancel it.

I'm not convinced that a company whose previous product has topped 100 million units sold needs to do anything some third-rate journalist suggests. If I were in the mood I would say go ahead, amuse me. But I'm not right now, so I'm just not going to bother reading what sounds like a load of tripe.

At least they branched out from says dev.

I think it's that now every dev and their dog is making an open world game, so there are now so many of them that the market is a bit over-saturated with them. My statement is intentionally hyperbolic, but while open world games were at one point a rare treat that could easily wow us...that's less true now.

I still think a great open world game is fantastic. But, like with every genre, such games have their pros and cons. It is also becoming apparent what makes...

That's exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do.

They don't own the rights to the says dev article. They just use it a lot.

I'm sure they would like you to though. Why manufacture something without the intent of selling enough of that thing to defray the costs? Sure, one could argue that their services can more than balance that out, but that revenue would exist regardless of the investment in a new console. If MS truly is as business savvy as they are reputed to be, they sure as heck don't operate on the assumption of their new console being a wasted expense either. They likely want to sell both syste...

According to generationxbox.com. I see no reason to suspect any bias.
