Sounds like a affordable gaming PC with a disc-based/retail games market to me. In other words: Winning! |
Its definitely an interesting idea, but the key is how Microsoft handles the identity of Xbox as a brand. I mean, if its a console or is it just a budget PC? If PC is getting all the Xbox One games going forward, how does Microsoft market its box seperately from PC as a whole. Notice how Microsoft has been including Windows 10 and PC gaming in its NPD PR which is a retail report. Its like they are preparing us for the transition but how they go about blending the to together is the real interesting part of this. There is a real unnatural disconnect that exsists between Microsoft gaming (centered around Xbox the console) and their breadwinning platform (Windows 10). How they have remained seperate for so long is insane.
Also, as one final point of consideration, notice that Microsoft has been advertising Xbox Live for Windows 10 PC lately (see the solitare commercial) Bending PC and Xbox seems to require a way to get PC owners on board with Live. This is their ultimate challange I think.
