Forums - Microsoft - What will the XBOX "copy" from it's competition?

I would like a speaker in the controller. I know it's simple, but I think it can be used to add effects. Although, the 3D sound they are talking about might be so much better it become irrelevant.

The instant on/off would be nice, but they already put that in Windows 8.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Isn't that standard on most computers?

Not really, they are doing it in a different way.  Putting the computer to 'sleep' rather than rebooting from cold.  (But if you think about it, phones do it too.  You don't boot you phone up every time to check for a message or make a call.)

Unless you are using a different computer than what I am used to.  I mean like 16 seconds from turning it on to working.  Most PC styled computers IME take much longer.

Yeah I'm on windows 7 and it takes roughly 10 seconds from pressing power to being right into what I was doing last.

xbox is in a position to wait. 360 is already using x86 cpu so 3rd parties are all over it. games sell well. they could see if ps4 flounders and release next year with a proper boost and a reasonable price. pimping the hype the whole way.


Lol I don't this they are. The 360 sales are dead. Sony is in a position to wait as they are still have the best sales and are more future proff with Blu-ray and how much better there exclusives look then The 360. Now the PS4 has been announced MS really arnt in a position to wait

I mean only compared to what they where, look at the main page Ms need a new Xbox. PS3 is the high seller and even in the holidays MS barley outsold ps3 this year where they usually run miles ahead.

89k weekly is hardly dead.



I hope they include some sort of video recording and upload feature. If they're going to continue being the FPS machine, it only makes sense. Hopefully it's longer than 10 minutes or whatever Sony's was on PS4.

Ok you choose to ignore facts I have out in front of you to make your point. Flat Christmas sales, PS3 selling over 130k a week and PS4 announced. MS need to get a new Xbox out ASAP. Sony still has power under the hood and sales arnt drying up yet. They Coukd wait. they didn't so MS need to make a move and fast
