How about one that maintains some capability for Windows 7, or you know, allows for custom installation and running of PC games? I'm a big fan of the Microsoft consoles, but seriously, they need to start realizing that us gamers are getting smarter and smarter by the year. They have one of the biggest advantages on their hands, and that is owning the number one (install base wise, calm yourself apple/linux fans) Operating system in the world. I don't really see the point in separating the two sectors anymore. This is the reason why I want their next console to be at least 2012-2013. Hopefully by then the rules of engagement will have changed. |
Ok, i agree with you on the HDD point (also wireless), in the Windows point, i think they should do it but COMPLETELY SEPARATED from the Console OS (like Sony did with the Other OS on the PS3 phat), the thing is, if they do that, it will be a lot easier to do a homebrew to play pirated games, so they need to come up with a restriction, if they do the "block the GPU" one (like PS3) PC games will not be playable, if they do SecuROM or any of that crappy DRM, the pirates still get the games and the legals are the ones with the problem... If they have a solution that keep pirates away and the legals happy, then bring it, if not, keep it away from consoles...
