It sounds very confusing and that they dont know what to do. Atempting to sell 2 units? Selling one is already difficult enough. I also seriously doubt they wont try to shove Kinect down out throats.

hook up your current 360??
joke aside you would get a durango and the new360 together and put the disc in the durango...
Some people don't need backward compatibility so they would get only a durango.. which sells for less money then if there was only one device with fully BC built in..

By connecting the Mini to your new NextBox. Or by keeping your current 360.

They are trying to dig out their other arguments why MS sucks. Like Kinect, Live, M$, bad games, no hardcore, casual-fishing, don't care about gamers...
I cant remember what i read because the always connected part took over
this sounds better than before and hopefully it was just a misunderstanding for the most part
I believe the always online virus will show its ugly, unwanted head again with the next batch of consoles.

Set top boxes need memory.. Lot's of memory. Every set top box in shops here has at least a 500G harddrive and/or a writeable medium.
So basically MS is going to build something that was talked here 1-2 years ago. It was a thread about Sony patenting something along the line of "A hw device that attaches to a console and adds sw compatibility". What makes people think that MS suddenly invented the wheel? I'm pretty sure Sony could build such an addon for the PS4 that contains a PS3 SoC, it they wanted...
Microsoft is fine if this happens, although i find a very cheap 360 as pointless as the Wii Mini is
Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
This makes more sense than any other rumor I've heard....MS is smart and the backlash from SimCity alone should tell anyone what consumers think of Always-Online products

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
Man if this is true then MS is completely doome...oh wait.
Out of all the rumors I've heard so far this one has the biggest common sense factor (unlike the older ones which I think have an extremely high chance of being wrong) and actually makes sense. I'm still going to wait until the official reveal though before I act like any of these rumors are true.

Of course it hasn't, because it was an old 2010 document of potential plans that have been greatly revised since then! Nothing in that document is going to come true exactly as it was described in that document, but many of the things it talked about will come true eventually in many updated forms. I see you did not post any supporting evidence for your claim that the document was fake. Is that simply your personal belief or did you find proof online somewhere that people found the document to be a fake? EDIT: I see you were too hasty in saying that nothing from that document has come true. Thanks for the info JayWood. I love that thread btw, can't believe I forgot about it, or maybe I didn't realize that was from the 56-page document. |
It perfectly predicted 2011 and early 2012 since it was "leaked" in 2012. However since then it has incorrectly predicted everything. No 361, no haptic controller, no XTV, no new live tiers, and many things that look to be wrong for 2013. I don't have a source, just logic.
