Microsoft to unify PC and Xbox One platforms, ending fixed console hardware

What this could mean is that the Xbox One becomes more like a PC, with Microsoft releasing updated versions every year or so with more powerful processors and graphics hardware. And, in theory, because games will be written as UWAs, older titles will remain compatible with the new machines.

This is just them saying they'll make a Windows 10 brand Xbox. Its basically what the Xbox one is right now.

This would be a game changer.

Or atleast, a defibrillator pack for the struggling console.

I'm HOPING this is true. N64 paved a way for consoles with the HD pack that never caught on. I don't want a gaming PC because my friends won't get one and I want my home console to be able to keep up specs wise.

Nah not waving the white flag, about to sega Genesis 32x the mufukka. And I'm all for it, have different level xboxes priced by how powerful it is, and just like a PC, the better the Xbox, the better the game runs.

As a early adapter, I'm down with this. The power of a PC with the ease of a console.

This.

With respect to early adoption... I'm sorry, I'm probably not waiting around a couple of years for a new console, especially when my friends are all playing. I've actually had fun with my X1.

Considering I was able to upgrade to the Elite Xbox and got the Elite controller when I exchanged my original X1...I'm looking forward to the potential upgrade they will be offering.

How is this shytting on early adopters

It clearly says the games will still work on the OG consoles, this just gives console gamers a choice.

I've never bought another console just for upgraded hardrive or form factor changes. But I'll damn sure buy a Xbox OnepointFive

Its probably time for me to look into a gaming pc, in regards to playing any xbox games.
