I've just seen a lot of comments about the split in focus on Nextbox and I don't see it as having 1 or the other. Do the same people who normally work on games have to work on apps and streaming? How is this work divided? Because honestly I don't see one effecting the other. If all of their first party studios are making Kinect that's 1 thing but Xbox could easily do first party AND multimedia despite what has happened that last couple years. Same goes for PS4. Any reason this couldn't happen? |
I think they have somewhat of a point, if you look at the Xbox 360 the 2nd half of it's life has had a shortage of exclusives to coincide with Kinect, but also coinciding with Microsoft's general apparent direction in terms of media. We're not hearing much games talk with the Nextbox. Having said that, this is largely an impression that is given and a feeling, certainly no factual go to source to prove the point with ease but it does seem that way imo.
I'll reserve judgement until release because it really is just a feeling at the moment.
