All you will need is a pc, laptop, tablet or internet enable TV. Its what the ONE would have been very soon imo but for all the hysteria. MS clearly wanted to heavily push/force digital, hence the industry outcry from vested interests. |
I'm not actually in complete understanding of how it works, you might not either but how do the Dual Shock Controllers attached to the game/streamed content? In most cases the control of streamed content from say iPlayer or Netflix is the done by the controller for the device, so in most cases a TV remote. How would a DS3 be useable on a Internet TV?
The One went to far and offered only 1 option, DRM check in restriction and not something that appealed to many dedicated users. Maybe they should have done 2 options, the standard you have now and an digital only Xbone, with no drive but has all the other internet related features. Blu-Ray/DVD is the only loss that might have cost them their all important 'living room' appeal mind you but that is what the drive version is for.
Eitherway, I doubt a digital only video game console is near us any times soon but half way through this gen, I can see it happening as long as pricing in the shops are competative.
Hmm, pie.
