Re: Xbox One

Who are some of the best and most popular sports games reviewers on YouTube? Would be nice to find those who are extremely active and interactive with their audience. Also, those who are good at reviewing and breaking things down.

Re: Xbox One

Either Microsoft has better controlled leaks or their much earlier in the process. Not a peep out of GDC and people with serious sources unable to confirm much beyond "working on new prototypes". With so much leaking about a new PS4, you think somebody would talk if there was a more powerful Xbox One coming in the near future.

If their genuine when they say only wanting big hardware upgrades, and with no VR headset and 4K line of TVs to push, it's possible they would rather wait for AMD Vega and HBM2 in 17/18 for a substantial upgrade. Essentially, introducing a new generation at that point.

Maybe the best route is just to stick with the current box, and introduce something along the lines of an Xbox One Slim and get it down as a cheap as possible.

I'm hoping that's Microsoft's plan. No need to be reactionary. Release a cheaper slim XB1 model, as per usual, then go guns-blazing with a next-gen machine in 2018.

Re: Xbox One

I love my Xbox One but its to bad its support from just about everyone has hurt it pretty bad. It's still doing fine I guess ..... But going from the 360 where they pretty much had all the momentum and fan support its a shame

Them wanting to forcefully shove all that stuff down the fan basis throat killed the edge they had...... Now going into future console they will be in a up hill battle just like they are in now

When they first announced the Xbox One, I liked what they were trying to do with it.

Re: Xbox One

Yeah but that's not what the majority wanted....... For a much smaller group it was probably awesome

I liked the idea myself but now I just wish it was a pure gaming console. If they had stuck with what had been working they would have been better off

In other words if it wasn't broke why fix it

I understand what you are saying, I like innovation and think they were trying that. Just like you said though, majority just want a gaming console. Its funny how Sony said they were strictly a gaming console to win over gamers and now they are going after other things, VR, PS Vue, etc.

Not knocking Sony because I like the PS4 as well.

Agree 100% and im hoping this is what Microsoft ends up doing.

Re: Xbox One

All systems now are essentially "always on"....MS just was pushing boundaries a bit too hard. Everything they were selling is slowly coming true (eventually we'll be able to sell digital games and whatnot)....

The public just lashed out before having more of a chance to think about it, and MS could have probably come up with a better, less harsh strategy to start.

Microsoft ending production of Xbox 360 -

I'm definitely going to have to pick up a new one before they all sell out. Wonder if they will lower the price to $100 to unload them all faster.

We had a terrible messaging problems.

What we did: Tell people what they can't do.
What we should have done: Tell them the cool new things they can do.

What we did: Talk a bunch about media and entertainment.
What we should have done: Talk about how great gaming is...oh, and see these neat things you can do too!

What we did: Told people what they should like.
What we should have done: Let people decide if they wanted something or not.

Our leadership realized this after it all went down, but by then it was too late. They apologized, made huge changes, and many of them are no longer here or active within Xbox (whether it was related to this or not).

Re: Xbox One

Thinking about trading in my PS4 again. Should I go with the Pre-Owned Xbox One for $239.99 with 1 year product replacement plan or a brand new for $299.99 from GameStop? Thanks.

Re: Xbox One

Would love to know if history plays out the same way if Phil Spencer was given the job in Spring 2013 instead of Spring 2014. I would like to think that he would have done things differently.

I would personally go with the new one either way. The new console will definitely last a year so no need to buy a used console and the warranty. Better off going with the new console in my opinion.

Exactly. Thankfully Phil Spencer turned that around....not enough to catch PS4, but a great run and can be a good push to whatever's next
