I hope the cry babies happy now that they love sharing that screen so much.

Even people who barely play Halo latched on to cry about it. It's a trend this generation.
Well the thing I want the most in Halo 6 is better maps. Big Team Battle on launch. With no Forge maps required for Big Team Battle to happen.
Where the f*** is Blood Gulch, 343?!

I think Frank O Connor said that was another thing that would be addressed in future games
got the new One hooked up and cause it needed an update being new I did but I like that before I updated it the picture on the screen during setup was the old 'fat' model and after the update and reboot the image changed to a white 'slim' model which was a neat touch IMHO.
Miecraft now at 122 million copies.
72 million since MS bought it

I'm starting to think it may be compatible with all Windows 10 compliant VR devices at launch. This will buy them time!
When Hololens V3 (they allegedly are skipping on V2) arrives possibly late next year or early 2019, that will be the preferred VR/MR device, since it will very likely be a beast. The patents they have filed, which were revealed only a couple months ago, trounce anything we have seen before. It combines 2 viewable planes into one, meaning the concentrated plane in the center of view will remain a higher resolution, called waveguide (what Hololens currently uses), while the peripheral plane, called lightfield, is at lower resolution but retains higher FOV and occlusion.. and yet the two overlap. The proper occlusion (complete blocking of light and any near by objects) can cover the entire viewable area. This is what will allow VR! Nobody else has this tech.
Allegedly, Magic Leap has decided that their method of projecting with fiber optic to the retina is not ready for prime time, so they have been using an equivalent display, which is now said to be lightfield LCoS from the same exact company Microsoft goes with, Himax. It has in recent reports, been said that the resolution is lower on ML than Hololens, but the FOV is greater and the occlusion is better. Now it all makes sense. This is because Hololens uses a waveguide display, while ML uses lightfield. Magic Leap has done a bait and switch, basically. Sorry, Google and Ali Baba! This is why this patent is so darn important! It's literally the best of both worlds... if it actually works.
The idea is that the peripheral does not need as much detail as your center of vision. Microsoft also has recently patented some nifty eye tracking that actually reads the shape of your eyeball. I'm not quite sure how this relates, as I don't think that they can actually shift the waveguide display around as your eyes move. Still, this could be a giant step forward for Hololens, as it solves the whole FOV issue, as well as very likely merging VR, making it truly MIXED reality.
I have tried to explain just what this means well enough, but read more about this patent here.
Sorry to drop all of this here in the Xbox forum, but all the Hololens threads suck! Besides, there isn't as much actual Scorpio stuff to talk about yet.
I know, Hololens is self-contained for AR, but the VR portion won't be. That is exactly how Scorpio (and the Xbox brand) will tie in.

Some still try to claim the console had failed
The only thing i'll say is - Last gen some had claimed the PS3 was a failure because it didn't match PS2's success.
X1 is outpacing 360, or was. But yeah, i'd say 360 was more influential to Xbox as a brand and therefore a better success. Who cares though. Play the games.
Minecraft sold 20 million copies on Xbox 360.
Best selling game on the system
MS first party does it again

Anyone every try the nesbox on xbox one? I must of been living under a rock! So many games that I loved!
Its a app from the ump now on xbox. You can play old school games and you have to download the roms and use the xbox controller.
You can play nes, snes, sega masters, genesis, gb, GBA.

I dont think so because its on the web. Its not something you download. You need to use edge to make this work.
Kinda weak tbh. When you look at best selling games for consoles most are flagship titles for the hardcore. Not saying Minecraft sucks but i'd much rather a Halo, Gears, or any other exclusive game being the best selling.
funny thing is that my kid wanted that old min nes but when I show him this he forgot about the console real quick!
