The Guardian: Microsoft to unify PC/One platforms, ending fixed console hardware

[daze23]

The body of the article has quotes from him as well, not just the last portion.

and he doesn't say anything specific in those quotes. it's typical corporate weasel words shyt. that is what it is, but like I said, he could have made a specific announcement, but he didn't

This sh1tvwould have to be for Xbox 2. No way u can upgrade the X1.

Most of the article is not his words.

You alluded to this part.

"We see on other platforms whether it be mobile or PC that you get a continuous innovation that you rarely see on console,"

So he's not just talking about PC like you claimed above. If you are gonna take this quote to make your assertion, why do you leave out the fact that he talked about phones and tablets in the same exact sentence?

You also bolded this part

"You'll actually see us come out with new hardware capability during a generation"

While ignoring the next sentence

"allowing the same games to run backward and forward compatible"

Now why would he talk about them putting out "backwords compatible hardware" if they were only gonna put out parts for Xbox?


It's not me ignoring parts of the article it's you and that shytty polygon writer making stuff up that aren't actually in his quotes

why cant backwards and forwards compability include swapping out parts??? I.e console A swapped out better parts but console b didnt but the game is still playable on both...Didn't read the article just yall back and forth

It could I guess, but that's not how people talk about things

If he was talking about swapping parts, seems he would have said just that.

You don't buy a new graphics card or some ram and then say your PC is "Backwords compatible"

The term is usualy used when referencing an entire new hardware sku

This is true.

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

And is this a bad thing in your book?

This is excellent news for ALL gamers. fukk the dumbshyt

That's because on PC backwards compatibility is achieved through software (DirectX) not hardware.
If they're moving to a more pc-centric model, then the same would apply here.

I've never heard anyone use the term "backwords compatible" with anything that has to do with PC.

It's always about consoles, and he said nothing about moving to a more PC-centric model.

I wonder if you're really a moron or if you just like to type for the sake of keystrokes.

On PC "backwords compatibility" isn't achieved.

Games made for an OS will always work for that OS regardless of hardware improvements

That's what he's alluding to here. Keeping the same OS and development environment, while updating the hardware.

So it's about the keystrokes. Got it.

Getting emotional and cussing in a conversation about video games?



Also, you're wrong. Get .

Every major gaming website is thinking this is the same thing we have been saying here the past few pages, but let Meach say otherwise

BTW, I think this is GREAT news.
