Thats exactly right, i always felt the X1 was an experiment/beta for there new Azure Cloud network. Hence all the DRM, Cloud power, Always Online, Digital and there focus on online games and multiplayer. I see the Scarlet being what the X1 should have been now that the industry is heading towards the Streaming and digital frontier. The generation was over years ago in terms of the sales race, however squeezing more juice out of the lemons is a common business practice. I can see a financial business model with these new deals. Works for phones, i honestly cannot see it not working for consoles. |
I really see this being a success is for the parents. Its one thing to drop 500 bones for a new console for your kid but 22 to 30 something a month is palatable. It also works for the working teen as well. I hope they give you a buy out option which is not to prohibitive and the service would be complete.
