| TruckOSaurus said: Consoles are always defined by the games they have. That's what determines how well they sell and how long they remain relevant, all the rest is in the "nice to have" category. So if Microsoft wants to last the longest it needs to beat Sony in the games department. I'm not saying they can't or won't but outlasting or outselling will not come from Window 10 integration or any other side feature. It has to come from games. |
This. Putting Win 10 in it has to do with a broader plan by MS. Its main effect on console gaming won't be platform longevity, but lower dev costs and easier PC-XBOne multiplat development (although yes, this could make slightly more appealing for 3rd parties developing for it in its latest years, but it's still unknown whether it would be enough to make it the longest lasting if it won't have become market leader in the meantime). But the main purpose for MS doing this is to strengthen Windows outside of PC market, everything else is a secondary target.
