Xbox 1.6 sounds nicer, sure.
Yes exactly. This mid upgrade stuff is a waste of time.
Once again, Spencer has been enormously clear on this point:

It's not. Twice the horsepower is not a waste.
And you will line up to buy one anyway.

There's no way this thing isn't called the Xbox Two.
I thought PS4k was rumoured for early 2017? So early 2019 would be two years.

other thread op said before Christmas, around ps4 original release, earlier today.I thought PS4k was rumoured for early 2017? So early 2019 would be two years.
wait wat
Good
Silly idea
Wait 2 more years and then blow the top off with a significantly more powerful console
Xbox 1.6 then.
It's a waste in general not just power.
And no i am not buying one.
Reminds me of when he was plugging the word '1080p' when they were trying to convince people their console was on par with PS4.Phil is really needs to get his message straight, I have absolutely no idea what he actually intends anymore.
I don't understand what Sony and Microsoft are doing. The drop to a new processing node for video cards and the move to HBM2 is coming at the perfect time to make a new full powered PS5 and Xbox 2 in fall 2018. Just wait 30 months and do this right and return to a proper five year cycle. All these incremental upgrades and semantic arguments about what to call it make no sense. Just jump to the new gen on schedule.
I wish that guy with a terrifying personal vendetta against MS execs was still here.
but I can understand other teams motivations to do that
Would actually be pretty interesting if they came out with a cheaper model while Sony is going the other way.
One other thing to take from this - he wants to make more Xbox generations.
Maybe this will stop people claiming Microsoft is dropping Xbox?One other thing to take from this - he wants to make more Xbox generations.

Elaborate, please.
