The end of traditional gaming console has arrived.
You think they would go down this road if Xbox 1 was successful? I doubt it.

How cheap could it be? $250? The XB1 already gets that cheap sometimes, right?
People have friends who are split between Xbox and PC and want to play with them
Its also nice to effectively unlock the game for usage on whatever device im on
Like its just a good thing
Its just a nice thing to have, its an inherently positive thing, its a consumer friendly thing. It was good whenever they did it on the PS3/PS4/Vita, its good here.

Scorpio!
He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
Beware of Scorpio!
Last gen was a totally different story.
Fact: Xbox One is falling behind (slightly above 20 mio,big guns already fired) and the slim model won't change that.
Starting this fall folks that plan to buy a new console will have to choose amongst several products in the near future: Xbox One Slim, Xbox 2, NX, PS4, PS4 Neo.
If you think that slim will do for One or Xbox Brand in general what it did for 360, I'm calling you Optimistico.
I understand that totally about cross-play but the guy said he would pay extra if it included both versions. Like having two versions of the same game is a major selling point.

Lol
Can not wait to see how the market reacts to 2 versions of a console from both of them.

Problem with a true XB2 is that they'll be starting with an install base of 0 as a major revamp of the architecture would lose backwards compatibility with XB1.
Starting a new console gen with an XB2 would see it go right up against the combined might of a PS4K and PS4 with an install base of, what, 60 million at the time of its release? Of course, MS will make games 100% cross-compatible between PC and XB2, but still.
But people buying pcs to play xbox games instead of xboxs is a lot worse for Microsoft.
Edit:should explain better. They will make a crap load more money off games with Xbox user than a Windows user.
Microsoft pursuing a deal with Oculus and having BC iterative consoles. Fucking called it. Awesome news, if true.
Maybe it's in reference to the release date. October 22 November 21 2017 CONFIRMED
Yup, I think so. Price above 250 and it'll sell even less than now in EU.
Assuming they are going to develop for NX I see.X1, X1.5, PS4, PS4K, NX. Stay strong developers :')
wow no more long console cycles
Lol

Yep awesome news, I'm down. No need for a Disc drive in the new upgraded machine either

I wonder if Nintendo will adopt the incremental approach
Well it's happening PS4K and Xbox 1.5. If Sony plans to release it this year the new Xbox will be more powerful will be interesting to see though I don't think it will change much as the mindshare is with PS but we will see.

Like they do with just about every piece of tech out there, from TV's, to computers, to phones, to tablets, to home theater, watches, etc., etc., etc..
Throw money at it.
lol if anything scorpio is NOT 1.5 like neo .... "new and revamped architecture" points to a bigger upgrade
Dude, we have revisions and slim versions every generation. Slim versions aren't released to save generation's. They never have been. If a person is interested in getting a Xbox they can get a slim ver. Perhaps current owners want a second Xbox or whatever. Can't believe I'm explaining this to you.
The traditional cycle is ending, not the hardware itself. .
Interesting stuff. Intrigued to see just how iterative they are talking. Seems like they want to head in a Steam (Windows) Machine direction, but unlike Steam Machine MS would be the sole manufacturer of the Xbox.
X1, X1.5, PS4, PS4K, NX. Stay strong developers :')
So this is the end of traditional gens ha? Don't know how I feel about it, I'll miss experiencing the visual jump that we get every gen, now it will be really hard to notice it.
