Who is going to buy it if as you mention the Steambox does it? What makes you think that in a few years you wont just be able to stream the game on your ipad? Or just through your TV? If you dont need the box anymore, why would you buy it? Keep in mind that there is such a thing as competition aswell. Why would the consumer get an Xbox instead of a Playstation with the same games + exclusives they can only play in it? I may also add that most Xbox exclusives are shooters and fit the PC quite nicely. Thats what the real world would tell you. |
But I never said that XBox couldn't be a tablet in the future or some other device. But people like me and millions other will want to have a device connected to the TV that is plug-and-play, where you don't need to think about graphics drivers, more memory or the crap just to play a simple game. MS knows this and knows that my choice of a dedicated gaming machine instead of a gaming pc isn't because of the games, but rather the format. What MS has done instead is to focus on a unified OS that makes it possible for crossplay, crossbuy and creating a larger gaming community. When I was about ten and started gaming on Master system I heard your exact argument, yet console grew leaps and bounds because we represented a new segment of the gaming community.
