Forums - Microsoft - Prediction: Next-Gen XBox Will Be A PC-In-A-Box (Literally)

Justagamer on 23 October 2015

I think sony will too. The rumor of sony updating the ps4 with refreshed hardware. There isn't a better way to do that for either company than a pc style box.

XBox One is still a proprietary home console, even if it uses PC-like components. It can't run all PC games, in the future I think all "XBox" games will be playable on a PC and through the PC-in-a-box made by Microsoft (sold under the XBox brand). I think Microsoft will target Steam as their chief rival, not Sony.

Arent consoles already PCs.

I don't want Microsoft games in my Nintendo consoles. If they want to go third party they'd better go do it somewhere else.


So you want less support and want nintendo to keep getting ignored. Nintendo NEEDS third party. TGhey cant survive anymore without it.

No they don't. Third party support never played a major role in the sucess of Nintendo systems regardless of how good it was. What they have to do is to stop messing up things.

Besides, if Microsoft becomes something like Steam they'll be completely dispensable: Plenty of Xbox One exclusives are third party games because Microsoft doesn't have enough big franchises nor makes enough games. Other digital distribution channels will offer the same third party games Microsoft would, plus more exclusives.

Wut? Do you know the definition of third parties? 

Also MS has Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, other franchise they have.

To be fair, Quantum Break and Scalebound are third party exclusives. They are not made by Microsoft's first or second party studios. A third party title does not automatically mean multi-platform.


Halo 5, Gears 4, Forza, Sea of Thieves etc are first/second party titles for Microsoft.
