I think they'll just wait to see Sony's specs for PS4K(if it exists), and then one up them and be first to the next console generation with Xbox One 2.

It'll be Polaris related. Nvidia has nothing to do with these consoles.
How do you not read it that way? He says he would want to move forward with bigger numbers. I.E. More substantial upgrade the a 1.5 type of move. Meaning more powerful. Pretty simple to me.lol, he flat out says he's not a fan of an xbone 1.5, and people ignore it and latch onto the second part assuming he's going to make an EVEN MORE POWERFUL xbone 1.5
What a magical world some of you live in.
No.
The only way people jump ship back to Xbox is if Sony makes a severe miscalculation and terminates the current PS4 model. I cannot imagine a single intelligent reason to kill the current model and only have the PS4K (aka only a $399.99 model) in store. Having two SKU's available allows them to target price-conscious consumers and enthusiast consumers.
I'm not saying people will embrace the new PS4 and that it won't burn some goodwill. The jury is still out. What I'm saying is if the current PS4 continues to exist then Microsoft's next console will be in the same rocky boat that their current console is in. In fact, when you think about it even more, their next console could possibly be in an even rockier boat as a result of Sony pursuing a 3 year update cycle. By the time Microsoft launches the Xbox Two as a 4K 60FPS machine @$399.99, they might be going up against a 4K 30FPS machine @$249.99. Sony might attain a significant price-advantage as a result of embracing 4K technology early on. The price difference would lead to a bloodbath at retail.
Interesting comments by Phil. I assumed XB1.5 was a given. Maybe they are planning to get out ahead of Sony for the true next gen and have the benefit of full backwards compatibility with the XB1.
Wow. Good guy Phil.
Look Sony, if Microsoft aren't moving in this direction why should you?
That's what I thought, too. They can either introduce a beefed up XBOX One this holiday, or just stick to the old model, knowing they wont have a chance against Sony anyhow this time, and introduce a new generation (not: 1.5) in 2018, which would give them a head start of at least one year compared to Sony's anticipated PS5.
This just sounds like they'll just wait a year after the PS4K and release the Xbox "2" regardless if it's a generational leap in power or not.
I took this to mean that they aren't after some minor upgrades like a whole new box just for upscaling and 4K media playback. I took it to mean that when they sell a new box it is going to be a complete overhaul of the entire APU and memory. What he means by this, and what we can take from it, largely depends on what Phil believes the PS4K is, which we can only speculate on.
If they weren't coming out with something new fairly soon, he wouldn't have talked about it a month ago. The tech is going to be out there for a substantial upgrade this year, it may just vary on what MS and Sony plan to do with it. I could see MS willing to take a bit bigger of a hit on the hardware in order to get a bigger upgrade out there. If the reports are true and Sony is upgrading but still using a smaller APU, then all MS would have to do is design a new APU that is the same size as the XBO APU, but without the ESRAM, and it could be considerably more powerful than what Sony uses.

Isn't that pretty much what he said though? He doesn't want a minor upgrade to the xbox he wants something fairly substantial.

Sounds like MS should throw in the tile and just do software
oh....
IMO, Microsoft already started making their move. It's a slightly different move, but still - If you want to play their games on an enthusiast level performance and image quality, you now have the option to do so on their Windows 10 PCs. I might be wrong, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they are going with that line of thinking.Now the timing part of it? Outright speculation at this point, but if Sony moves Microsoft will to. They will not be left behind.
If I am wrong, I will be shocked.
I kind of expect something like that too. Would be interesting if they keep one upping each other by releasing updated hardware at out-of-step intervals. All the while new hardware being compatible with older one, to make the development transition relatively trivial.I think they'll just wait to see Sony's specs for PS4K(if it exists), and then one up them and be first to the next console generation with Xbox One 2.
Beaten.Did this man just say the opposite not too long ago? Making it hard to take him at face value.
