Can't say I like the first scenario.

Why? It doesn't matter if people need an Xbox or not, what matters is the eco-system as a whole and as long as XBO would be part of it, XBO owners wouldn't suffer from that even if sales of XBO would decrease (I even doubt that they would decrease much). 

Well, I see a problem with how they would manage the different controls especially for competitive online multiplayer but otherwise I wouldn't really care if people need an XBO to play all the XBO games since they would  still release on XBO and the amount of people you could play with would only increase and not decrease with this scenario so no loss for XBO owners. 

If Xbox one exclusives become irrelevant like that I would regret not buying a ps4. 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Thanks for the kind words Jay :). I think we all contribute to the Xbox community in our own way and that's what makes this group so great. I know a lot of places dedicated to Xbox but none is as fantastic as this, not even my site/team. And the only ones to thank for that is yourself, keep up the good work guys it's great to see the passion in here!


Np and i agree with you.  Everybody here brings something to the table in some shape or form and the vide overall is good :)




       

I've been craving a proper RTS to play on my console. Can't come soon enough. Hopefully they can integrate kinect in a cool way as well.

Halo Wars 2 with far more depth on PC.

Would that change your mind? :P

I dont think MSFT is going PC/XB as one platform though i think it is the future at some point. This goes to PS as well. Rather i think XB will be able to stream to PC with the XB app as well as having a universal game store to purchase for XB.  I also think streaming will be coming to windows phones, hopefull 8 and not only W10 phones.  I also believe we will get the new RTS game announcement(s) that will be on both XB/PC. Also new avatars and new home layout will be shown off

I actually believe Ryuu posted that RTS job a few days ago but it didnt have the studio name if i remember correctly.  i will however update the title

It just feels like the first step to doom to me, Microsoft not doing any more HC I mean.

I simply don't play on PC's at all, I don't even have one.


Same. Leave that PC stuff to its self. Make the Xbox One/360 more desirable to gamers.

We had the name already, pretty sure is the same thing.

You mean would I buy it on PC instead of console? Idk, I already have plenty of great RTS games on PC, but I also like having a good RTS on my console just because it's more relaxed. On PC I play them pretty competitively with my friends. On a console it's all a bit simplified, and I find it fun to just sit down for a couple hours, put on some music, build a big ass army, and stomp some shit lol
