As much as it's gonna get memed, I'd love this, since I can spend money on shit I'd actually need rather than a console every 3 years.

oh wow so idk y not just buy a fucking PC?

So almost like buying an overpriced PC that doesn't do anything but play games you could even say?

Why not just get a fucking PC
Actually, I'm pretty sure MS is transitioning to focusing only on Windows 10 for gaming
In the future, Xboxes will just be branded prebuilt gaming PCs
The best thing about this is that there will probably be Xbox emulators soon
JET SET RADIOOOOOOO FUTURE

So then It's just a PC that you can't upgrade?

No, it's basically the "Steam Machine"

I'm pretty sure forward compatible means the Xbox Whatever will be able to play Xbox One games, and yeah, that would be smart move to make, now that everything's digital.

Because God knows they can't make a good remaster.

What can consoles even copy anymore?

Upgrading individual parts is the only thing I can think of

WOOOO NOW JAPAN CAN CONTINUE TO STEAMROLL THE CONSOLE MARKET

Microsoft didnt know what do after a successful 360 era that they went and dropped the ball

sadly it landed on their toe and they shit themselves while doing a quick 720 into their grave

Because it isn't already the case with the PS4 and Xbox one who are both in the same x86 architecture as PCs??

wtf I can play pc games on xbox now?

Conslefags aren't that smart.

shut up fag

This is such redardation. Its not like Sony or Nintendo forbid third party devs to release games on their old systems. Hell a few years back we still had fifa games released on PS2 and Persona 5 came out on PS3 over 3 years into this gen.


So what exactly is new then? That microsoft will develop their nonexistent first party games for the xbone forever?

Oh yeah so i can play all those shitty Indies and assfaggots. Boy do i like Dota!

PC (windows) is backward and forward compatible... Why not the Xbox?? Why should i get an Xbox 360 or OG xbox to play their games when i can all fo that in one console??

Basically kills remasters, unless there is retarded people who would still buy them again.

Im asking whats different from the current state.

>Basically kills remasters
Nah, GOTY edition etc are still in high demand.

they give away the remasters for free half the time on steam, people only buy them on console because they can't play their old copies

>enhanced edition comes out
>only works on Xbox One X and Xbox 2020

*ends Microsoft's console manifacturing career*

>Im asking whats different from the current state.
Xbox 360 had the OG xbox compatibily, Xbox one won't have it until this year. X360 games are still getting added. I want all those games to be available on the next console on my account if i own them.

Thats BC.

Of course. They will have to end supprot for older consoles if they do that........Just like Windows 10 (One of the 3 OS of the Xbox one too)

>As long as they can be

That means you can pay for a slight upgrade to the current gen to get something that's shittier than the next gen but can still play some of the next gen games in some sort of compatibility mode.

Anyone who buys the xbonex is a sucker who got memed

Wew, first win 10 and now this, MS is retarded but it doesn't matter because dumb burgers will buy this shit anyway. They don't care about taking a loss because the PRISM bucks take care of that for em. So in a way, it is also a genius move for them.

It'll make me pretty sad to see the end of the console paradigm since it was such a big part of my childhood, but it seems inevitable at this point, with the way technology has developed. Maybe Nintendo will be able to keep making gimmick hardware for a long time to come, idk.

What's really important though is the games, not the hunk of metal you play them on.

That's FC when it's about being compatible with future versions of itself.

HEIL XBOX ONE!

XBOX ONE FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!

>tfw buy xbox one
>end up buying a 1k pc because i had enough money to
>enrol in university 3 years later
>suddenly mad poor and living a fucking lightyear away from home
>tfw i'm back to playing witcher 3 on my xbox one

looking for a job but the pay will be pisspoor because i can't work any days except weekends. might just sell the xbone and contribute that sale and a weeks wages towards the x1x. at least the games i want to play are receiving high performance modes with 50-60 fps.

now all i have to sort out is the shitty 3mb/s internet connection here

>Not bringing your PC to uni with you
What kind of fuckhuge case/tiny shit dorm do you have?

>taking pc with you to uni

my room is big, double bed and all but that's still maximum autism. also the logistics costs of bringing it with me would cost more over the course of a uni year than buying the xbox. the xbox currently gets played every day by me and my roommates but it's the regular social games like fifa or ufc

>my room is big, double bed and all but that's still maximum autism.
Nigger, what fucking year is it?
Are you sure you're 18 and not 12?

>tfw I took my tv, consoles, 5.1 and desktop to uni
I did drive there when I moved from home though so it was pretty easy.

if they can do it, its the end of competition.

>In the future, Xboxes will just be branded prebuilt gaming PCs

This.

The only reason why they are still in the console race is because the xbox 360 was a hit (ps3 costs $550). More than likely xbox will be their prebuilt gaming pc/ multimedia box while their Surface will be turned into laptops and tablets.

I have been observing them for a while.

Build me a $500 pc that matches the Xbox one x teraflops

Sounds like a PC.


Sony is selling shit that can easily be compatible with the PS4 (PS1/PS2 Classics) extra too with those upscaled emulated games (with achievements added), like FF7,9 or PS2 games like Bully or Dark Chronicles

Do you even know what a teraflop is?

t. never been to uni

literally nobody in my building has a gaming pc and there's like 350 people here. a few people have consoles but most people here don't even game. at most they play shitty web browser games on their laptops in the common room. they're all uber-normies and the ones who i chill with are all trappers who know nothing but fifa.

if you live in uni dorms more than likely everyone you meet will be a normie. all the people who bring their 3 monitors, high end pc etc all live privately or off campus and end up doing fuck all in terms of social shit

Console generations have been a myth since 2006. Consoles now are just shit-tier casual PC rigs. Even Nintendo realised this and didn't even bother trying to pretend. They just went their own route.

We will soon enter the world of the gaming set-top box. All gaming content will be streamed. You'll just pay a subscription. Ain't life fucking great?

RIP Sony
It truly is an era of Wii60 again.

>t. never been to uni
I'm literally sitting in my dorm room on my desktop as we speak.
>literally nobody in my building has a gaming pc and there's like 350 people here.
That's funny because I've seen multiple people in my building with gaming PCs.
>if you live in uni dorms more than likely everyone you meet will be a normie. all the people who bring their 3 monitors, high end pc etc all live privately or off campus and end up doing fuck all in terms of social shit
You must live on the west coast or down south, I've been to multiple campuses here in New England and I've run into PLENTY of people who PC game on campus.

"Forward Compatible"

Also known as "stagnating console hardware even further"

in the 80ies, consoles where better than PCs at gaming because they had specialized hardware. you can do better with less if you specialize. now that consoles are as powerfull as a nice PC, the difference in specialization matter less and console corporation are trying to sell consoles as......PCs with netflix and internet browser utilities.

choose right, choose PCs

Microsoft hate XBOX division, some idea MS is sell XBOX as PC, move all games XBOX to PC.

MS know PS5 will fuck them, making XBOX One X middle step to new generation.

floating point operations

so you can't? oh ok at least you tried (kinda)

what is the cloud computing? retard

Wouldn't really be that difficult seeing as current consoles excluding the switch are x86 and consoles going forward will be the same.

I'd say specialization has been lost because consoles have to "pander" to the devs nowadays.

I have a PC and consoles, I'm good

>MS know PS5 will fuck them
lmao, holy shit the delusion.

>I'm literally sitting in my dorm room on my desktop as we speak.

exactly what i said before. if it wasn't like 2 am i wouldn't be sitting in my room but chilling in the common room playing pool or cards. the people who are the "gamers" are all loners who don't do shit socially.

TFLOPs don't mean much, the weak CPU in the XB1X is already dragging it down in games like Quantum Break and Halo Wars 2, where it performs worse than an RX 470.

>if it wasn't like 2 am i wouldn't be sitting in my room
Sure you wouldn't user.
Also
>Europoor
That explains it.
Europe is consolefag land.
I bet you're a Britbong too.

This is so bad, the whole point of consoles is to have a platform that doesn't change so all games run perfectly on it. Mid-gen upgrades are already a bad idea.

This smartphone model is going to suck, any game made for the Xbox Two in mind is probably going to run like dog shit on the One X despite working. No different to PC rigs.

Man modern gaming sucks. Both consoles and PCs are losing their benefits by both trying to become one another. Kind of glad Nintendo does their own thing now.

>generation-less consoles
This kills Sony consoles, now and forever.

AHAHAHA

something that america wont be able to take advantage of until they revamp their internet infrastructure
t. euro master race

>Tfw I probably have better internet than you except when it comes to upload speeds

>Europe is consolefag land

Most console owners here are kids or turbo normies/chads desu.

Cry more americuck. At least I'm not autistic enough to stay in my room at nearly 9pm when it's fucking freshers week and everyone is partying.

That would be a good idea for MS if they could learn to name their systems sensibly. Consumers understand forward compatibility with phones because they're just named
>PHONE 1/2/3/4/5
Imagine consumers trying to understand this shit if phones were named
>PHONE
>PHONE 512
>PHONE 0
>PHONE Y

i doubt it cuckboi

>when it's fucking freshers week and everyone is partying.
Nigger, it's Sunday night, all the partying was yesterday and last week.
Stick to your shitty free glorified high schools please, leave actual college to the relevant ones in the relevant countries.

They're just being stupid and trying to get a head start on a "new gen" now that they've been BTFO but the new Xbox doesn't offer anything new to have that sort of ability. They're trying to do what the 360 did but its not gonna work this time, everyone is playing on ps4 and are not about to drop $500 on a newer Xbox when they already weren't buying the Xbone

Blame the smartphones. People just understand tech advances in years not in generations anymore.
Expect faster price drops but faster turnovers.

>the teraflop meme
kek

Just goes to show you know fuck all. It's closing night and one of the biggest freshers nights of the uni calender. Every university has one.

Go back to studying your shitty pajeet IT course whilst the important people study engineering

Leave it to M$ to fuck each generation up, first they introduced paid online. Now this.

>free
We wish m8

>Go back to studying your shitty pajeet IT course whilst the important people study engineering
Kek, the important people study business, the fuck are you talking about?

>you need to buy a whole new console instead of just a graphics card
wew

The ps4 pro came out before the Xbox one though and we're already seeing base ps4 games with inferior performance to the pro versions which look to have better optimization with several options for high res, fps etc

user he’s in America he can’t even buy alcohol and go out partying until he’s 21

what? name a single good exclusive on the Xbone that you can't play on pc

Amerilards btfo

The desire is from developers. With a few exceptions, all AAA devs would prefer to build using tools that allow for easy porting to other consoles. MS is just responding to this desire.

the same people who eat this shit up are the same people who think Omega Shenron can beat Beerus

i would actually get an xbox one x if this is true, but when the price gets lowered ofc

...

I mean, they're about the same price, so it's totally fine.

>microsoft does this instead of sony or nintendo
cool now i can play halo on the nextbox and nothing else

I don't know how to feel about this

on the one hand it makes more sense than consoles.

but on the other, consoles have built up so many bad habits and trends since the 360-era that I don't want them to effect PC gaming at all.

>pay-extra-to-play online.
>locked-down games that are mostly unmoddable.

etc, we see some of this sort of shit already with EA/DICE-cucks and the battlefield series, I hope we don't see any more of it.

>third party games aren't games

kill yourself

>buy a console every 3 years

i tought this was a pc meme, why would you lie to me? i could have bought a pc long ago

Won't happen
PC gamers really don't like paying for shit
See: Creation Club
And I don't mean that in a bad way. Keeps standards up.

Yeah, Microsoft hates them so much that they put them on the leadership table.

>Non-upgradeable
>30fps with drops
>Minimal/no settings
>No KB+M
>Paid online
Wow so it's literally just a shitty PC. Thanks MS.

>Wow so it's literally just a shitty PC
That applies to all consoles though to be fair.

>Xbox One X, a Windows 10 PC
>Nintendo Switch, a tablet
>Sony, still making home consoles
So how long will it be before Sony finally dies off?

>forward compatibility

I'm not big on this for one reason. We basically have this shit now, but it's by the game developers side.
>Destiny on PS4 and PS3
>FFXIV on PS4 and PS3

And those games claimed to be constantly held back by the previous consoles. Fuck it. Just make it so future consoles can play backwards and I'm good.

Heh, it seems the behemoth has awoken. There will be some minty A+ competition between the big 3 gaming companies in the next 5 years.

Good times (And games) ahead

so you can't?

oh ok. well thanks for trying!

true, but imagine what happens when you merge the PC gaming-sphere with the xbro's. (who play nothing but EA-sports, and casual-shooters)..

Like I said, EA's already managed to get away with a lot of similar shit. it's not profitable/easy-to-do on PC simply because there's enough valvefags and the like to prevent those sorts of things from being profitable, but what happens when there are enough newfags for it to be profitable?

No. There's more to PCs than just their imstruction set, brainlet-kun.

PS4 memory isn't even built like a PC and was optimized specifically for tailored direct GPU connected to shared GDDR memory bridge.

The instruction set and CPU architecture is just one part of a very big equation.

Either way I miss in house developed console architecture.

ps3 was stronger than xbox360 and sold more

I'm glad Nintendo has realized that trying to compete on the grounds of MUH GRAFIKS is a shit model

I don't need to, a GPU with less raw TFLOPs like the 1060 or even the 470 will outperform it.
That said, I'll humor you.
