this would mean a $600 pricetag :D |
MS can afford to burn $10s of billions subsidising it, if it means increasing market share
Whether it would actually help them win marketshare is debatable but this is MS, they have been known to throw billions at lost causes before, just look at the $5.5 billion a year they spend on Bing.

so if you won't name no names, which is the first name you want to name?

I hate that picture.
Don't get how the same pictures get recycled over and over again. Nor why unrelated people use them.
| zero129 said: I don't care how powerful it is, if it needs to be connected at all times i wont be buying it, same goes for the PS4 if it needs to be connected before you can play a game. Still i can think of a few Sony fans that is shitting their pants thinking about the Nextbox having 2 GPU's and one of them being from the 7xxx range, but i wont name no names xD. |
WHY?
Do you not have an internet connection at home or is it some sort of rebellion based on principle? I don't see the big deal for yourself if you have an internet connection.
These are the first specs from the 720 that I've seen that look powerful enough for me. The original Xbox and the 360 were top end when they released. Everyone seems to be suggesting that MS will go the opposite route this time and I'm not sure why.
| TWRoO said: Even though the X360 is the most connected of the current 3 consoles, I still doubt it has even reached 75% of users (it was supposedly 60% of U.S. users about 3 years back) so that would be 25% of their audience negated right there... then of course not all of that 75% will have access to online all the time, and many will not like the idea of being forced to be online (what happens if your connection cuts out temporarily) MS would be limiting it's market too severely. |
Exactly.
@ Dr. Grass
It would be a problem if didn't come with Wifi just like the 360 did.
I have only two LAN ports on my router and both are in use. Not going to by a WiFi adapter or a new router when I'm not playing games online.
Microsoft commits ritual market suicide
More for Nintendo
Seriously doubt that's going to happen, though. TwRoo's math should be enough to keep any executive sane.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
Online all the time? That seems truly doubtful. In 2013 that would surely limit the device hugely in many countries?
Mind you MS did push the orignal Xbox with a heavy online element which surely limited it in the day so who knows? Maybe they'll push 360 more in emerging territories at a lower price and concentrate the new Xbox on US, UK and Europe? I'd add Japan of course but is seems somewhat spurilous to so so.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I think they will need every possible market in order to succeed... but not in 2013. Maybe in 2015 for some countries.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Like what you said, it's based on principle. What if for whatever reason my net want down? or i moved house and had to wait for a new connection, i'd be left not being able to play the NextBox. |
If you don't buy the NextBox, you will not be able to play the NextBoy either.
