| Ryuu96 said: @Zippy6 Did that Discord leak mention February as the date too? Cause if so, that Discord leak looks legit now, Lol. I still can't wrap my head around how it makes financial sense for the manufacturers though. Basically treating Xbox like Windows, OEMs will build hardware while Xbox licenses the Xbox OS or the Windows OS? So we'll still have hardware but by multiple different OEMs, different types of hardware like handhelds. Still not sure where the money comes in from the OEM unless Xbox gives them a decent split of the store revenue. But Steam Machines failed |
How is that possible?
If they go that route, dont they run into the same issue as the Steam console?
The main selling point of a console, is the ease of use, not haveing to worry about in-game settings, hardware compatability/bugs/issues due to hardware, and how such a console can be subsediced by the maker (ei. sony or xbox, because the game sells will offset the losses).
How is such a console viable? price to performance... and how will the user experiance be, compaired to a traditional console?
If that happends, that will have a direct impact on hardware sales.
