Anyone else think microsoft is making a very smart business decision with what they are doing with project Scorpio?

Anyone else think microsoft is making a very smart business decision with what they are doing with project Scorpio?

I see people that say xbox signed there own grave by giving up there exclusives to pc. What these people do not realize is that Microsoft is trying to create a windows 10 universal platform. This would successfully create a bigger Microsoft market that will make it much harder for sony to compete against. With cross play combining the two player basis and developers will outnumber sony.

If the Scorpio can provide the specs that it promised at a reasonable price I can't see how it could fail. In order to build a gaming computer it might be more expensive then scorpio.
Regardless of Scorpio's success microsoft will merge the platforms and sony cant compete with windows 10.

Yes they are making sonycucks fall to their knees and suck big scorpio cock

It brings a tear to my eye

I cant wait to see how hard to the ps4 slim/pro and 400 dollar vr headset flop for the holiday season. I don't see why the average consumer would buy any of these products when the cheaper xbox one and has 4K HDR Blu-ray player built in. It literally makes no sense unless it is some fat as fuck nerd that just wants to play VR dead or alive.

whatever people say about Microsoft i. fucking love them from play anywhere feature

Uhm, "these people" are nu-PC enthusiasts, aka fucking nu-NERDS, no one ever believes them and the fact Xbox is MUCH cheaper than their 1.5k USD PC, enforces the concept.
A kid's parent or a normal person, would NEVER consider buying a gaming PC over a comfortable, small, easy to use console.
They should deal with it.
Also, Windows 10, their go-to OS, is shit, so they look even more stupid.
They secretly wish dudebros would join their lives and make them happy, going to parties, popping pussies. Not going to happen.

It doesn't matter how powerful the machine is or how pretty the graphics are, western devs will continue to make the same open world game, now with added SJW pandering.
I hope games like Watch Dogs 2 and Mass Effect: Andromeda look good to you.
Meanwhile, microsoft has sold like 3 consoles in japan, so guess who won't be developing for your platform? I hope you have a taste for ugly girls with 4k textures, user.

I think everyone's happy in this Microdomination world.

Nigger, do you know what website you're on?
hint: it's not reddit, but you should go back there

windows 10 has shit market share. windows 7 still market leader. windows 10 has barely more users than windows 8

microsoft wont be a big player in digital distribution. steam is and will remain on top. EA and ubisoft had to learn this the hard way. funny that microsoft would think they could pull it off with windows 10

but hey im sure in a year and a half or so we will be back to where we were 2 years ago with microsoft on the ropes and sony pulling farther ahead because of a better price point

weebs are small percentage of the market

...

Um I have bad news for you. Also preorder for the VR headset are sold out

in order to play the new future game you need the new direct X and in order to get the new direct x you need windows 10. Microsoft is not going to be battling steam in distribution they will partner with them. Microsoft is going to slowly make it so that you will have to upgrade to windows 10.

just wait and see things will change

did he adopt it?

No I don't see the point in the scorpio at all. PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Xbox One S, Scorpio, NX, you know what this reminds me of? The video game crash of 1983. One of the symptoms that caused it, was too many consoles out, causing consumers to be lost and confused on which console did which thing differently, so people stopped buying them entirely. Of course I'm not saying there is going to be a crash or something, I am just saying that this is what I am reminded of when I think about what is going on now. The last big "competitive" console event that happened was the rivalry between the PS4 and the Xbox One. But now, there's like five consoles coming out. Honestly, it's just confusing, and makes me want to quit consoles entirely.

Who are you quoting?

Just make it as sexy as the slim and I'll buy it.

lol no

This is where you misunderstand the circumstances. From my understanding and certain speculation what Microsoft is doing with scorpio is making a microsoft branded gaming computer that can reach a mass market. Microsoft wants to give the scorpio the freedom of a pc with console benefits. With both PC and scorpio running on windows 10 you have automatically get a larger market base to make money off of. Ultimetaly microsoft is combing xbox with PC in order to coner sony in. I think microsoft is using a wise long-term business strategy.

ultimately*

So i'm in the market for a new video game console this holiday season
What should I pick, the more powerful system that play games at higher framerates and with more graphical detail, or the system that plays 4k movies on the TV that I don't have?

I get the cheapest one.

>>project scorpio will have keyboard and mouse support
this is all any console had to do if they wanted me to buy it

...

except that's a lie all the releases stated at this year's E3 were all compatible Dx11.

What I am going to do is wait and see how good of the deal on the scorpio is plus the cost of membership compared to the cost of making a gaming computer of equal or greater quality. Whats going to happen is the microsoft is going to aim for developers to make games for the pc and scorpio and not for the inferior ps4 plus. This will leave sony behind, they are after all competing with microsoft who focuses on computing.
youtube.com/watch?v=F1dRgWpGePs
you even got ron howard expect elder scrolls 6 only on scorpio and pc

you can already use a kb+m on PS4
it's dependent on whether the devs support it

HOWEVER you can rebind all your keys to kb+m manually even if they don't

this isn't something new...

This thing is probably going to be compatible with both oculus and vive, like just plug it in and works.

techfrag.com/2016/06/16/project-scorpio-vr-compatibility-can-work-rift-htc-vive/

So it's basically Steam Machine, but mass marketed and successful?

Neat. I'm amazed it was MS who brought in crossbuy and crossplay though. Nintendo and Sony by should follow their lead on that ASAP.

i don't play the shitstation since ps3. i bought it when it was cheap and it ran all the games like garbage. sold it and bought a 360 and it at least maintained 30 fps

>It literally makes no sense
PS4 still has a better library of games and plays multiplatform games better than the Xbox One S

don't care about consolewars m8

you said this is all a console had to do for you to buy it so there you go
(also don't actually care if you do buy it)

>windows 10
buwahahahahahahahaha

There's not going to "corner sony" there going to cut themselves out of the market. Once they cross that threshold and turn their console into a PC, they are now in a different arena. A custom PC will provide the maximum performance for the lowest price point, they will instantly price themselves out of the market.

your a fucking dumb ass noob if you think any serious gamer is buys ms games to begin with, tell us more about the failures of games for windows live.

inv4 decisions like this make even the windows OS crash and burn as more companies switch to Linux and Apple.

>Linux

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA

>making a microsoft branded gaming computer that can reach a mass market.
Ehh, that depends. Mass market really depends on price.
>Microsoft wants to give the scorpio the freedom of a pc with console benefits.
That's a living contradiction. A consoles benefits is having exclusive games that aren't anywhere else, including not being on PC. I know what you are saying, but this doesn't sound like a console. This sounds more like a cheaper pre-built closed off PC.
>With both PC and scorpio running windows 10 you have automatically get a larger market base to make money off of.
It feels more like a move out of spite. Isn't this similar to what they tried with the Xbox One at first? It didn't work, because people wanted to keep their console benefits and not lose them, and be at MS mercy. Now, it simply feels like the loss of console benefits, but with higher graphics to make up for it. Losing console exclusives is being downplayed, when its the only reason people buy consoles at all. MS seems to be banking on the uneducated majority to just see this as a console upgrade.
>Ultimately microsoft is combining xbox with PC in order to corner sony in.
I don't care. I don't care about sony. I don't care about MS. I'm a consumer, not a corporate person with a stake in some company, I only care about games. MS is saying they are fine with no exclusives, therefore I am fine without their console if that's the case. I have no reason to enjoy one thing just out of spite for the other. That's simplistic and childish.
>I think microsoft is using a wise long-term business strategy
It feels like a conman slowly being pushed out of a store. Sure, he is leaving, but he is stealing whatever he can grab while he leaves. The Scorpio feels like a attempt to convert PC users to consoles. Which feels like a attempt to abandon console users for PC users. To replace them. I don't know why though, I guess they want to change how people think about consoles.

Why can't sonycucks make logical decisions, and can never see past the present? PS4 doesnt not and will not have the library of pc and xbox combined. Xbox provided a standard of performance for the next gen of games. Sony's console will not be able to support the next generation of games. They are so behind by going for the VR meme into premature console release. Microsoft as a huge company that is highly invested in software assets are going to entice developers to develop games by a much higher standard set by the scorpio. Expect VR compatable Elderscrolls 6 for scorpio and pc

exactly

What they tried first with xbox live didnt work was because they expected pc user to pay for live in order to play there games. I expect they will partner with valve for the pc distribution side. I also expect they will partner with occulas and htc/valve for vr. Sony is trying to do everything at the same time when Microsoft is partnering with other companies giving them a lot more control. I think this is more of all in pc merge.
> The Scorpio feels like a attempt to convert PC users to consoles. Which feels like a attempt to abandon console users for PC users. To replace them. I don't know why though, I guess they want to change how people think about consoles.
I feel the opposite I think it is trying to convert console players into pc users. For example with fps games being cross platform it will entice players to play with keyboard and mouse in order to compete.

When the next generation of games come out and require windows 10 and the new direct x you will change or buy the scorpio

>implying microsoft won't force you to install all software through their distribution platform
>implying microsoft won't force you to install windows 10

The point of western devs being shit still stands. After Fallout 4, i'm not too exited for elderscrolls 6. That game was pretty fun the first two times I played it, but it got stale over the next few. And Bethesda games have ALWAYS provided a better experience on pc, that's nothing new.
The xbox is still not a viable platform for Japanase devs, and they still make the best games.

No, Microsoft isn't going to partner with Valve. Microsoft isn't going to partner with anybody. >occulas
You mean VR? Which already went and gone? That died dude, VR died a while back because it was too expensive and nobody was willing to pay for it. The morpheus is set to fail as well.
No, the opposite isn't possible. You can convert PC users to console users with exclusive games. But the opposite would never happen, because console users use consoles mainly because ease of access.
>entice players to use keyboard and mouse
I guess? Maybe? Not really though.
>in order to compete
Wat. Now that is pretty funny. its like you think a console users is going to try and start using keyboard and mouse if they start losing a lot or something? They will just play a different game then.
Even still, you really crack me up. MS partnering with valve. Now I've heard everything. What's next? Sony going to partner with Phillips? Nintendo going to partner with Google?

Microsoft announced a partnership with Oculus awhile ago but we'll see if they plan on actually doing anything with it.
