People ask should the Xbox one drop $50 in price to compete?  I don't think it's about price anymore but about differentiating it. 

Becoming the RTS console and bringing over great franchises would be excellent!  Launch kb/m support with new AOE with preorders snagging all previous versions playable on Xbox one followed by announcing the porting of some great franchises now available to download. That's dropping a hammer.

Boy, they're really giving people no reason to own an X1.

Aren't they giving people MORE reasons to own an X1? I don't understand what you mean?

Microsoft has a strategy and it is clear. Supporting both platforms to reach as much customers as possible. Many people will always prefer to own home consoles anyways regardless of PC library. Consoles are convenient, cheap investment, and the standard of the market.

Now, feel free to criticize that strategy of MS. But don't turn the topic into an excuse to attack Xbox. Especially if you are not interested in it in the first place.

Exactly! Their strategy is pretty clear: Have one platform (Windows10) on several different hardware (PC, Tablet, Console) and release the same games on several af them to expand the userbase and sell more software. I like that strategy :).

People agree with me, maybe mods will consider warning people, and we'll see what happens.

I don't want to stop you from speaking, I just want to see less of that in every Xbox discussion.

Horrible idea. 

You can't protect one console over others on a forum about all the consoles, games and so on.  

Its not about protecting a console. Its more about keeping trolling outside of Xbox threads. People that arent interested in Xbox dont need to be in Xbox threads to talk about PCs.

Better not be supported in multiplayer games or people with KB+M will have a distinct advantage.

Its been done in the past with Quake 3 on Dreamcast and Unreal T3 on PS3. I think they know its a bad idea at this point.

Maybe Halo Wars 2 will have crossplay. So KB+M players can find each other on console or PC.

Why?! Now I'll have to sell my Xbone, because it's becoming too PC. 😢

Good news! That said, what use can/will this have? I assume web browsing will take advantage of this, but what else?



KingofTrolls on 21 February 2016

this is a good move. MS has some RTS games in their pocket, so why not bring it on X1 ? Also it will make navigation a lot easier. I rememeber text chat torture on my 360...

Because of K/M support? Which the PS4 already has...?

 

OP: That's cool, I do think they need to be careful with how the implement it though, otherwise it could really mess with balancing in multiplayer games.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

That's my point. It's not exclusive to Xbox. That's one exclusive no console has money hatted. ;)
