I dont think at this point MS is gonna prod their already displeased userbase with hardware revision(RAM et al).. natal should be an interesting idea.. but its a lot like the wii is to the gamecube.. a newer means of input rather than a hardware overhaul.

The 360 userbase is displeased?

totally.. the 360 is a pretty bareboned packaged.. no wifi, no HDD in the arcade, expensive addons.. u get the drift.. I dont think people would be willing to make the shift to an entirely new SKU at this point. And lets not even talk about how displeased Rrod owners are.. I wouldnt wanna get anything new from MS at this point unless its version 2.0

Comprehensive study you have there.  Seems like they are pretty pleased to me, gobbling up new games left and right.  But that would be me just making a baseless claim.  Or perhaps my claim has at least a little bit of base to it?

Yes.. gobbling games.. not consoles.. n especially not the same console twice( thank you RROD) or a third time(new SKU)...If MS dont wanna end up like SEGA they better not bother upgrading the 360 innards at this point. I'll gladly ditch them if they did. You have an interesting idea- and it would defntly boost performance, but my point is simply that no consumer at this point would upgrade their 360- sure a $79-99 natal addon is do-able but do MS really wanna piss off previous 360 owners with faster 360 hardware.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

... but what about ... dun da dada daan... RROD?!

 

Seriously though, I don't understand the 360-faithful.  They refer to the console by motherboard names such as Jasper, Alice, or Jacob.  Pfft are you guys really reading the 360 box and saying "Cool this one's Jasper, this is a good machine build.  Those guys who are gonna buy this sure are lucky, no more funky boxes for them.  Nah uh.  RROD is history in this one.  No sireee."  Why do you guys keep tabs on the motherboard build/revision/whatever?  What for?  You already have the console.  Pfft, senseless.

^ aww shucks, would you forgive me if I said I'm sorry? Have you been tracking all my posts? ;)



code.samurai on 05 January 2010

and it's not really trolling if the question is really baffling. I mean why do you guys know the exact motherboard codename of new x360 releases? And why do you always exclaim that newer mobo named "julius" is free from defect xyz, as if it had enough time to prove its resilience 1-month after it was released? Really confuses me with the 360 community... It would confuse you too if you've waited and just observed on forums.
