Last year fall in weeks ago too.... to be fair 25-26 weeks ago was last year.
Then why not just say "months ago"?

I don't know.Then why not just say "months ago"?
Then why didn't we hear anything about this Lockhart canceling around or after GDC (mid-March 2019)? I trust Matt alot too, but the logic doesn't add up.
I am not sure, but I think he was asked the same thing in the other thread. I'll try to comb through the other thread to see what his answer was, the convo was pretty interesting last night, lots of insight from ppl who are more in the know.
do itttttHmmmm...yeah check that out as I don't go over there. But you make it sound very interesting. I might have to take a peek lol.
Yeap it looks MS took the decision after Devs feedback on devkits with Lockhart / Anaconda cross development.
But some tools here will say Lockhart never existed and devs where lying about it.
It is possible... people are questioning because Zhuge said in ERA that Lockhart was canned last year.If dev kits went out post GDC then the feed back from devs and the cancellation of Lockheart would have to be between GDC and E3 2019? That would be "Many weeks ago" correct?

I don't think Sony would raise their target price over something like this. They know the money is in services and software sales, and will be pricing their console to sell as many as possible while keeping any losses within reason is my guess.So now that the Lockheart is cancelled, do you guys think Sony, assuming they were aiming for 399, go buck wild and make a 499 machine? Maybe they were planning 499 all along but now will want to go 399? Maybe they will keep their cards close to their chest and not say anything on price until Microsoft does? What do you guys think?
I don’t believe Sony targeted $399 from what Cerny said in the interview.
Perhaps $449 or $499?
I think they’d keep a level head and continue doing their thing. Whiles its possible it could be $499 system, the ps4 launched as the stronger system at $399 so i think they know their own sweet spot.So now that the Lockheart is cancelled, do you guys think Sony, assuming they were aiming for 399, go buck wild and make a 499 machine? Maybe they were planning 499 all along but now will want to go 399? Maybe they will keep their cards close to their chest and not say anything on price until Microsoft does? What do you guys think?
Bonus: I think there is still as much a chance for $399/£349 price as any other.
Edit: Calling it now, Xbox scarlet will be delayed until 2021.
PC games can release with a million different PC setups, some super weak some super powerful, consoles have 3 and suddenly its a problem.

Is this somekind of a sick joke?
I don’t believe 399 was ever the target to begin with. I firmly believe both the PS5 and Next Box will launch prices higher than 399 bucks.
If you would have, ya know, quoted the rest of my post then you would answer your own question.
Im not an expert on the habits on hardware architects but I would think/assume that one of the higher ups leaving 18 months from launch after a 180 on plans leaving probably isnt a good sign. Thats just the conclusion ive made man. Im sticking with it.
Well the only reason to keep your SoC team and your project leads in place is if you have something else for them to do. Even after they leave they can still do interviews for deep dives if they're called upon to do so.
Seriously if your job is done I don't need to keep you in house for anything, you and I would have even covered the SoC's roadmap towards future die shrinks in advance of your departure.
And on a related topic.
Despite what some here are suggesting, it really isn't possible for MS to begin "scaling back" Anaconda right now. If Anaconda always was planned to be the "Monster Eater" then MS can't change anything about it now. They're locked in. If it was originally supposed to be priced as a premium device they will have to take a considerable loss to be able to market it competitively.
Perhaps it was dev feedback, or maybe it was just a concept that became less desirable as XCloud became more efficient. And I actually thought Lockhart and Anaconda meant MS was going with a modular system this generation. That was MY way of making sense of it.

This sounds like FUD.

I'll bet a shiny silver dollar on two things:
1) Scarlett will be more powerful than PS5
2) Scarlett will be priced the same or less than the PS5.
So they are not planning on another console after this?
I'm sorry why can't Microsoft make changes right now?
It's a good 6 months before silicone has to be final.Make changes to their silicon? Too late for that.
Whatever they have is what they go with. Unless someone official says otherwise, Anaconda = Xbox Two

Source? Ive been told 18 months minimum from final tape out to store shelves.

Well said so much truth in this they are selling the xbox brand so hard because they are not selling the consoles.If this is true, Microsoft believes it can sell enough $500-$550 consoles to be competitive. (Hint: they can’t)
Edit: or maybe they genuinely believe their own bullshit with the “we don’t care about selling hardware we want to sell services” shtick. If that’s true, Sony should send them flowers, because if their main competitor’s plan to for the coming generation is to not sell hardware RIGHT before hardware is gonna come out, then they are fucked.
I’m fact, how is this supposed to make the consumer feel? “Buy our system or not, we don’t really care anyway we only want service customers.” Hmmmm, that’d get me to pause long and hard over investing in an Xbox if I was open to the idea.
I should of clarified. They clearly cant go from something like Zen to Zen 2 or Vega to RDNA at this point without a significant change and reconstruction. That was always my understanding would take about 18-24 months.
But before the one year mark to ship they definitely could make smaller adjustments to CUs, CPU adjustments, clock speeds, etc.
You do realise that Lockhart was just a rumour by the same people who made wrong predictions about E3. Funny, that just like Scalebound no one here wanted a cheaper alternative called Lockhart to exist, but suddenly everyone wants it now.Microsoft's power is something to be reckoned with. They felt that it wasn't enough with just cancelling promising games like Fable Legends or Cancelbound so they had to cancel a next-gen console, too. It's gonna be scary once they manage to control the Infinity Glove properly.
I wasn't saying they should. I was simply responding to the they can't make changes at this point.Well if all you're talking about is tweaks then sure, MS could make such adjustments. The question is why would they?
What would be the benefits to scaling back performance? The benefit certainly wouldn't be economical, at the end of the day they're still giving consumers the same architecture.
My point is that if you are MS, at some point Lockhart was revealed to be either unnecessary or impractical for you so you scrapped it. What then would be the usefulness in taking your flagship console and scaling it back to fill the gap that the lesser powered console was going to fill? The console you no longer need.
Even without press on E3 and people remembered Sony instead of MS.
Fight Simulator? I’m sure aí did not hear nothing about it in any place except it was announced.not really. people are still talking about the new flight simulator on xbox. most viewed E3 trailer this year! people are talking about keanu reeves, who was on the XBOX conference.
Yeah! It was most viewed! Except it doesn't even make it to top 10: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...-from-halo-infinite-to-avengers/#2d39f52c16e9not really. people are still talking about the new flight simulator on xbox. most viewed E3 trailer this year! people are talking about keanu reeves, who was on the XBOX conference.

But they also could improve things and go for a higher end experience and not scale scale back.
