| Turkish said: Lol, what does it change anything if MS call it XB2. Its all about whether MS can differentiate XB2 to from XB1, with games looking notably better and next gen. Just rendering XB1 games at 4K changes nothing. MS' exclusive output has been very weak and what little games they publish they certainly won't be locking 20-30M XB1 owners out of it. It'd be disastrous for MS if they think they can kickstart the 9th gen on their own 3 years too early. PS5 is gonna come around 2019/2020, 6-7 years everyone is itching for a new gen. Sony answers with true new hardware, and MS has a 2-3 year outdated hardware. (and they'll likely have another iteration by the time PS5 comes out, and face everyone's backlash because their 2 year old Scorpio consoles cant play the newest games.) |
We'll see, but if they don't they're done. MS honestly believe (or their fans do so MS will push it) that it's ONLY power that has made the PS4 successful, evidenced by the entire Scorpio reveal being about 'power'. This has happened because of the false narrative surrounding the PS4 games list and now it's so ingrained that even though the truth is obvious, people still (to this day) believe the PS4 has fewer games. This has lead to people believing only 'power' is at the bottom of it. It's not but MS are clearly trying to plug into that perception with the Scorpio. By calling it outright or promoting the 'concept' of a next generation, MS give themselves a chance of some kind of 'victory' PR. I don't believe they will, I'm just offering a possible solution. I believe they're dropping out of the console business in all but name. Instead of promoting Windows 10 to XB1 they're going to promote Xbox to Windows 10. It's all about perception.
The PS5 Exists.
