"So I do think it's a little different than a traditional console launch, where you have to launch, say, five games on day one. I told the team I don’t want to do that because it's a part of the family of the same systems, every game on it will be playable on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Scorpio, and frankly on Windows 10 as well. So it's a little bit different, but I know content has to be the thing that we use to demonstrate the capability of the box."
So with Microsoft being done with console generation and going for the PC market and Nintendo making an Ouya and going for the Mobile market, will Consolefags give up on Nintendo and Microsoft competing in the Console race.
Austin Richardson
nintendo is going to cannibalize it's 3ds market
Gavin Price
I think it's the point. They want their switch to be the next 3DS imho.
Isaiah Walker
>Steam Machine I thought those were just a myth. Like 4k or God existing.
Matthew Bailey
>Windows 10 lol
Jeremiah White
the 3ds i starting to get old enough to be replaced
Wyatt Johnson
It's not >Nintendo's console is invading the handheld market it's >Nintendo's handhelds are invading the console market
Chase Lopez
Is not a steam machine,it will be a console that runs windows embedd
Liam Johnson
But how can it be a console if it's a Windows 10 UWP box? It's like how can the Switch be a console if it's actually a handheld?
Jack Thompson
I know someone that saw one once
Nicholas Allen
This was to be expected with the whole UWP thing on Windows 10. I just didn't think they'd be stupid enough to try and cram in between PC and console in the current generation.
Nolan Barnes
Well, its not a PC and that's for sure, if it was a PC you could unlock the BIOS, boot from an alternative device and install any OS you want
Logan Thompson
Technically it was always their plan to make a system that was basically a PC in the living room but they never could but now they can.
David Johnson
How is this different than the Xbox One S
Jack Sanders
True it's more of a locked down Windows 10 PC
Gabriel Richardson
Still not comparable, in a steammachine you could solder a cable and use an external graphics card, I don't think that will be possible with the scorpio
Josiah Martin
True but still technically a locked down PC where you can keep all of your old games and play new games until the system is finally dropped.
Oliver Green
More powerful and has more meme VR capability or some shit.
Gabriel Rivera
Hey guys! How are we going to compete with the console gaming market? Let's sell a bunch of Pre-Builts with shitty specs at prices higher than Consoles!
Ian Moore
Still is not comparable, PC means openess, console means closedness. I don't think I will be able to program and compile my own software on the scorpio, i will still need a dev kit
Josiah Jones
It's a in between, it's a locked down PC but it's not a console and their will be no Xbox next gen because Scorpio is being treated like Graphic card and Apple Iphone with stronger iterations.
Nathan Taylor
I've always wanted the Xbox to be an attempt at providing a budget PC for the living room. The original console did well to do this, but the 7th and early 8th Gen fucked up the entire market by trying to have consoles actively compete against PCs. They should have transitioned into specialized cheap computers that would guarantee a certain level of performance and parameters that devs could work with. Instead they tried to squeeze more than they ever could out of those machines, and it just ended up creating this awkward distance between the two. By settling into its place and not competing with PC, Scorpio can do well to fit that $200-$300 gap that's hard to make AAA games run at 60FPS.
3 years ago, Phil Spencer pushed out Don "Just Buy a 360" Mattrick, and he has made some of the best design choices for the Xbox yet and I'm still not going to buy one because I already have a decent PC.
Kevin Richardson
>Doesn't run SteamOS >Steam machine ?
Easton Hernandez
steam machine has come to mean, "pre assambled, gaming PC with a console like case"
Noah Carter
This basically like the Switch being compared to the Ouya.
Connor Davis
poor ouyatan
Isaac Barnes
Thats their actual plan, theyre gonna release a switch without detachable controllers. At 250 or 200 while the console will be pirateable
John Long
"Family of Devices", now we know what Iwata meant.
Jace Foster
I wish they would have Steam on it so my niggas who cant into pc can play games with me but I know they wont do that
Ryder Robinson
>console Device that allows you to play video games on your tv at home with little to no technical knowledge quickly and easily.
How is Microsoft done with consoles? How is being able to play games on multiple devices a bad thing? I mean, isn't porting from one to the other a major cause of people's complaints around game quality? Wouldn't this make that less of an issue?
None of this seems bad to me. PC for pc stuff, console for console stuff. You're paying for better graphics and more bells and whistles when you get the new stuff and people who already have xboxes don't get fucked out of new games. Win win.
Gabriel Martinez
But none of this is an issue, they are no longer making next gen consoles and are just following the PC/Smart devices with doing just iterations but they are no longer competing with Sony even though idiots will still make this a console war.
Jonathan Taylor
By this logic Mac is a console
Samuel Green
>every game on it will be playable on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Scorpio, and frankly on Windows 10 man devs are going to love all these shitty platforms to port too
Ian Collins
To bad it can't play pc games
Sebastian Reed
It's actually just one platform, UWP, all games will be made through their and will be scalable like a high-end to low-end PC . It can play Win10 PC games like Age of Empire 4 if one is made.
Juan Hernandez
yeah, i dont know how console players will continue living without playing the masterpieces like gone home
Levi Wood
Consolefags will just give up on consoles.
Nathan Gray
>So with Microsoft being done with console generation and going for the PC market
If they do, then kiss your PC ports goodbye. PC only seemed like a viable platform when compared to the Xbone, which sells games about the same, but both combined cannot match PS4 sales. So why should publishers make a game for two platforms and get 6 million copies sold when they can just make it for the PS4 and get 5 million copies sold?
Luis Moore
No,just xboners also
>Consolefags will just give up on consoles. You stupid fuck dont you see how retarded you are? they buy consoles because is cheaper and dont care about the shitty framerate together with the few exclusives is not a matter of fapping to graphics.
