Clearly someone on the executive team saw it and got some ideas.

Or, it's possible that I am a time traveler and I was trying to hint at the future to come...but I can neither confirm nor deny.

I think this is what everyone secretly had hoped all along in our heart of hearts. Or fart of farts.

You misheard her. She said you're "different".

Thread 'Microsoft unifying PC/XB1 platforms, Phil implies Xbox moving to incremental upgrades'

Mar 1, 2016

Update - New Interview

Phil is on the Major Nelson podcast. Starts around 35 minute mark. He specifically talks about the hardware question around the 50min mark.

Phil Spencer interview with Engadget on the PC/Xbox.

Still early so I may have missed/misinterpreted something but here are the main points I picked out.

Doesn't have a goal of making Xbox and Windows identical - wants "gamers to decide where they want to play their games". Talks about the distinction...

Well, there's probably something there if you read between the lines, but he was still pushing a very different vision at that time than what we ended up with

Like this?

I'm not so sure, I think steam will be around one way or another. Think closed PC gaming is what the online portion may benefit from for casual gaming i.e. Halo, gears, cod. The PC will benefit from both having open software sites like steam and ms store for consistency in the live network.... And it all runs in your PC.. Sony in demolishing Xbox in sales this generation may have forced ms to flex its muscles and opened up something Sony may have no answer for. Ps4 subscription base 100 million in 3 years, Windows 10 ...1 billion.... Even at 20% of those Windows users playing games that's a huge difference.

Even COD is mentioned, who is from the future now

To be fair, many of us felt MS was seeking to exit the market and just focus on Windows or be a publisher or something like that for a long time now.

I felt like so many of their moves looked like the desire to be a publisher and move away from making hardware, so the whole thing with them branding PCs with "XB" isn't that shocking to many of us.

You were spot on btw

lol....that's generally how these "look, I was right" posts go.

 

[TwiztidElf]

ever-evolving but always backwards compatible (like PCs),

PCs aren't always backward compatible.

Nah, I am.

I bought the Series X a month ago.

Anything pre WindowsXP or pre-64-bit either don't run or run very badly.
Sure, you may be able to emulate them effectively, but that does not count as backward compatible.

Ah....I guess in a strict sense that is correct.

If I can play a game I own or want, yes, it counts.

Same as non-launch ps3, with their emulated (botched) back-compat.

So playing Wii games on Dolphin is backward compatibility too then? I've heard everything...

So I'm assuming you don't consider Xbox 360 BC games on Xbox One/Series BC either
