The Oculus Rift talk is interesting:

How will MS approach pricing if this is real?

It's got to be priced to compete with PSVR, but without massively undercutting the current OR pricing.

By end of 2017 Rift will be much cheaper. We probably have a Rift 2 with roomscale and foveated rendering at that time. And they could even do what they did with Samsung (GearVR) and create an Xbox SKU of their headset.

I would love to see an upgrade path for people who bought the XBO. I don't know if that's even possible from a business standpoint and how you'd manage this, but I hope they offer something so the XBO won't end up the worst console I ever bought.

Poor Nintendo. They had the right idea but now everyone just got it out first..

No way will this be called Xbox 2

So with this new amped-up Xbone, does that mean the graphics will look "almost" like a PS4? And the Resolution will be 100 pixels higher?

 

[AmFreak]

No actually. According to Digital Foundry at time of ps4's launch. it was not possible to build a pc for the same money as ps4.

1. I said 400-500€
2. DF is in the UK meaning they aren't using €
3. Yes, you could get better hardware for ~400€, i know it cause i did a testbuild back then. The 400-500€ range is there cause i did 2 slightly different configs - one with dead meat (aka blu-ray drive) one without, used a cheap NT and for potentially adding Windows.

Well, they did it. Consoles are PCs now.

You just need Sony/MS to put something like a touchscreen on the controller to make consoles a viable replacement for PCs for a lot of people.

Apparently you can run Office online via Edge on Xbox One already...
