Why? The Xbox One we currently have won't stop working. It's still going to play all the gams that are coming out.
If it's not for you, you can skip it, quite literally 80% of the last gen base will skip any next gen console in its first year. 4 years is OG Xbox lifespan and 8 Years a 360 lifespan. At any rate i'd take a 4 year lifespan vs. a 3 year lifespan.
There's only one 'p' in duped, and the choice of using that word is all the evidence necessary that your post is worthless. Go wave your dick elsewhere.
True enough. I just find it ironic that for years, console gamers cry about pc gaming cost, but don't blink an eye at getting a newer console just a few years later.
Personally, I find it a bit disturbing that a console would come out so far behind the curve at half a grand in cost, to only drop another console a few years later.
Don't take it the wrong way, it's not an Xbox bash...me personally, I'd like a bit more longevity out of my console.
Will you hold the same reservations about Sony's console when it releases sooner or do they get a free pass for some arbitrary reason?
Not at all.
If I wasn't already going to own a 4K display when Scorpio launches, I'd have no reason to buy it. I don't care about VR, and I think resolution beyond about 900p is diminishing returns.
Fair enough. But if console gamers are now going to start justifying the cost of a 4 year console life cycle...can we get console gamers to stop complaining about the cost of pc gaming? A 4 year life cycle puts console gaming at costing more than pc gaming. (I'm not trying to start a "vs" war)
I would. I have zero interest in dropping half a grand on a new console....when my current console is....still pretty new.
My concern with a new console has nothing to do with "hate on X competitor"....it has more to do with dropping that kind of money on a console, for it to start losing support so soon after.
Sure I guess, i didn't realise that was a thing. There's still plenty of breadth to discuss closed box vs. build you're own. I don't think you'd get a PC to last 8 years either though
The important question now is how much will it be? A console that powerful has to be back to the price point of $599-699 I bet.
Xbox One will NOT be losing support for any version. All games will be forward and backward compatible. None of the systems will be losing any support. Not sure why you're using that as a negative.
HDR will only benefit those with compatible sets. No reason for a current xbo owner with a non hdr compatible set to get the slim especially with Scorpio around the corner.
I do. I built my last PC in 2006-2007 and I've just been upgrading bits and pieces whenever I feel like it. Most recent was my CPU and motherboard. I can still play Overwatch on my GTX570 haha.
No? I built my pc when PS4/XB1 released. It cost me, if I remember correctly, less than $700. The thing today still runs games at higher than 1080p resolution at over 60 fps. It's future proof for the next few years. And by the time I do need to upgrade, I'll be able to upgrade for less than the cost of a console. I also don't pay a monthly cost to play games online (not that it's a necessity).
I just find it ironic that for the longest, cost was one of the factors (even though it's been debunked tirelessly) against pc gamers from console gamers....now, cost is not an issue.
Eh, I don't see the One having much support beyond 2019, sure EA stuff and poor CoD games and that for a time,but no-one will hold grudges if it "only" lasted 5 years. It's not the hardware that had short lives, it's the games taking 3 years to make just made it seem that way.
unless sony twist that arm... it's not going to be $400 and gl with $450 unless everything else besides the gpu is ass
I didn't bring up Sony. Actually, other than you and maybe one other poster, no one was really talking about Sony.
My input was purely based on on my feelings of having another console drop so soon. Nothing of what I said related to MS hate nor Sony love. People don't need to get their panties in a bunch.

Millions will see it one way or the other, but in both cases, MS wins - and gamers win.
MS welcomes all into the world of Windows 10 and Xbox anywhere gaming. It's a great time to be a gamer, on PC or console (or both), with Xbox.
