wow again
It will be more difficult to find committed first party studios to work with MS after this.
From the people that also said exclusives is a big reason to own an x1 and then said "exclusives doesn’t matter"
And the ones who criticized PC for all the troublesome hardware upgrades and then said "hey I want an xbox with hardware upgrades"
Amazing isn't it?
No thank you. I will wait for the game to be released and not spoil the fun.
No. I felt with Destiny. Not happening again. I played the beta and it was OK but sometimes it felt like Watch Dogs doing some repetitive missions.
I better watch and then decide.
At least the game is also going to be on PC so sales will be better than the game being exclusive on Xbox and MS may give sales number combining xbox and PC.
Good to see other games being inspired by PlayStation exclusives.
That was the exact same thing that Sega and Nintendo did and failed.
Just like many others has become market experts saying that this is going to be a success?
Seems you have a pro let dealing with reality and accepting the fact that the PS4 is dominating everywhere.
I can bet you were one of those who defended DRM and always online when MS announced it.
Will all the negative cloud already on this matter, I think MS must be careful with what they do. Another big fail as they had with the xbox is not going to be good.
This fail can cost them the xbox brand. There is a reason there is a console market and a PC market.
The moment MS release an upgradeable xbox, that would be an xbox PC and not a console. They would be out of the console market and will compete on the PC market.
And that makes sense to me because MS simply cannot win in the console market against Sony.
I believe that MS leaving the console market can open the door for other competitors as Amazon, Google or Apple so this will be good.
X1 has the install base and brand support to make it work just like they did with DRM and always online.
Oh wait!
"The idea of a multimedia gaming machine that has the scope for an enhanced experience is exactly what i'd want."
You can already do that a very long time ago on a PC. Looks to me you just need to buy a gaming PC.
The N64 was the main reason I switched to PlayStation and never looked back to Nintendo.
Video game delays doesn't suck. Releasing games with multiple bugs or Broken sucks.
Backwards compatibility is a nice to have feature, not a must have feature. Sony released the PS3 with BC and the user base did not care about that feature, that is why they took it away so the PS4 is not missing anything without BC, in fact, is still dominating the whole generation.
The thing is that Microsoft would love to be as basic as the PS4 and sell as much as the PS4 but because they are continually failing against the PS4, they are desperate looking to do something.
Be dead sure that MS would stay simple if they would be winning the console war. Sony has an extremely successful product that people want, there is nothing wrong about it.
Looks like this upgrade plan is now the next secret sauce that some people think will make MS win the console war by magic.
First, the reason MS is considering this is because they are loosing miserably against PlayStation in the console market.
Second, the moment MS release an upgradeable xbox, that is an xbox PC which is not considered a console. They will be directly in a competition with the PC market so this strategy cannot make MS to win the con...
I thought there was a hate campaign on this one but it was very well received.
