Aaron Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 is this truly a new system? or simply a refresh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 TV and apps? no thanks... Xbox One: a next-gen console with a focus on interactive TV and apps On the hardware side, Microsoft has included 8GB of RAM, a single custom 40-nanometer chip with an 8-core CPU and GPU system-on-a-chip, and a custom 500GB HDD. The system-on-a-chip is made by AMD and Microsoft designed its own HDD in-house. The Xbox One runs on the kernel of Windows according to Microsoft, and utilizes a Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, and built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi for gaming and entertainment. Microsoft also has new Kinect to share, and it includes a 1080p wide-angle camera that's designed to read your heartbeat while you exercise. Microsoft's new Xbox controller includes 40 design changes and impulse triggers that let you feel the feedback directly in the triggers themselves. The controller and Kinect work together to recognize a player, allowing gamers to raise a controller and cause actions in games, and more.

jerrodh Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'll buy one and put it on Ebay in hopes they are hard to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm all for my gaming console doing more than just games, but when the focus is seemingly taken away from gaming, I'm a little hesitant to buy into the hype. Forza 5 looks fantastic though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza 5 looks fantastic though! Thats how I feel about. I was more partial to the Xbox this generation (although I have both), but Microsoft's lack of real focus on their initial investors (who will be the hardcore market) gives the upper hand right now to PS4. Fun fact, Sony's stock shot up and Microsoft's stock went down with the announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Does not really compute all that well. How to you figure, every one of the last 3 consoles (PS3, Xbox 360, and WII) were hard to come by after release or during the first holidays. I personally know people who flipped them for double what they paid. Worst comes to worst I keep or return it for a full refund. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact, Sony's stock shot up and Microsoft's stock went down with the announcement. What "hardcore market" are you referencing? I understand someone saying that Xbox One seems to be focusing on being an all-in-one entertainment solution more than just a gaming machine is a negative thing for some "hardcore" gamers but at the same time Microsoft has once again locked up exclusive rights to certain things that a large "hardcore" market is going to feel it needs. Like Call of Duty DLC a month before any other platform and FIFA Ultimate Teams being entirely Xbox One-exclusive. COD and FIFA are two of the most "hardcore" markets I can think of.

When PS2 came out I was too young to care about making money off it. I didn't do PS3 but when Xbox 360 came out I had to think real hard about opening and playing mine on launch day when I saw them going for $1k or more on eBay. I still ended up waiting in line at Best Buy a month later to pick up another to make a few hundred from. I'll place some pre-orders around town when the prices are announced, pick them up on launch day, check online prices, if they're not going for much more than retail I'll just return them.

sol740 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Having owned each iteration of the Microsoft console at launch, I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed. Make that a lot underwhelmed. I am glad I just built a new gaming PC. I may even sell this 7970, and buy a Titan or 7990, or some other high-end card, around the time these consoles drop, and skip this gen.

sol740 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 not me, I'm waiting for the PS4 pre-order to start PS4 certainly impressed me more with their conference, and focused more on games and tech, than TV and Kinect, but they didn't fix their controller's analog stick position, which is a cardinal sin.

justinwebb Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 It looks like a VCR, can't replace the hard drive and no backwards compatibility. Fail all around plus it runs 3 OS's and is always connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mseebs Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Fee for used games. Check Require internet connection once a day. Check Underpowered hardware. Check Mandatory installation to harddrive. Check. Focus on everything but games. Check All this reveal did was assert that I'm buying a PS4 this time around. Any Angry Joe fans, he did a pretty good rant on the reveal.

jerrodh Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Did not watch the video or anything but really a fee for used games. PFFFT. I don't play many games on consoles anymore but a lot of times they are used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like me saying if I can't pay my rent one month I'll just buy a new C7 and sell it for double its price. But, really, it was mostly me just being flippant. I have no doubt in your flipping abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
