Can't be much more sincere, and you can read through my post history if that's not convincing enough. I 100% believe highly optimized device like PS4 and Xbox One are the Smartphone of the home, and we will see the XBO and PS4 platforms in more than half a billion homes in the next 5 years. There is simply no better value on the market for those looking for a home computer, set top box, or blu-ray player. You won't get a more capable Windows device this holiday for $250 than the Xbox One. |
Consoles have ALWAYS been the highly optimized home PC gaming machines, problem is NO productivity software.
The Web browsers suck, theres no other tools, ie word processors , email clients etc, no printer support, and Microsoft straigjt up refuses to acknowledge the Xbox is just a computer, they don't want to kill or compete with windows, and Sony doesn't seem interested in going beyond a "gaming / entertainment" machine.
I agree with you about the functionality of console but the MANUFACTURERS are NOT on board with this idea.
A 3 year refresh cycle though kills the console market though,due to cost we need these things to last 5-7 years.
I mean the Xbone and Ps4 both technically could be steam boxes, do you ever hear anyone talk about that? They want their own backyards and they don't want anyone else playing in them, they want their own independent stores and CONTROL.
