Really hope this comes to fruition.
No, and I still don't know how that was the takeaway from that thread.Didn't Phil Spencer say he doesn't like the idea of an Xbox 1.5?
then again he seems to say whatever people want to hear at the time
No he says what he actually believes, people hear what they want to hear though.then again he seems to say whatever people want to hear at the time
there's no contradiction. He said a .5 increase was pointless, it would need to be a meaningful increase.

Why are people confused by Spencer's statement? It's even in the article of the OP. He clearly just didn't like the name 1.5 and was trying to suggest that whatever they make would be substantial enough to be worth more than the 1.5 nickname.

So they are making an Xbox-branded PC then, potentially?
Interesting, to say the least.
So....you believe the Parity clause doesn't exist (like he said) and that the Mods/indie Devs on GAF are lying?No he says what he actually believes, people hear what they want to hear though.
Well, I won't be buying one at launch, but I know I'll be tempted when they show it off. Why would I not? Because I look right now and I can get a XBO with 4 games for $350. I can wait a year or so.
Ekim getting some serous credit on the Verge... Good stuff dude.Tom Warren teased an upgraded Xbox One in the FCC thread for this year.
PR speak happens in interviews all the time(Not saying this is the case here)It's not PR speak it's an interview.
This smells like a controlled leak due to the recent PS4K news. Whatever the case, I look forward to hearing more about the upgraded system.
He also said Microsoft had an interest in catering to the PC audience with quality titles and timely support.Didn't Phil Spencer say he doesn't like the idea of an Xbox 1.5?

6 months later, the PC version of QB is announced.In the case of things like Scalebound or Crackdown or Quantum Break, you know, just to be completely honest with you, we started those games before we really looked at expanding into Windows in the way that I wanted to bring as part of becoming head of Xbox.
"Going to those teams mid-cycle and saying: Hey, by the way, I want to add a platform, didnt really feel like necessarily the best way to end up with the best result for the game.'
It's more that the statements and the statements are in conflict.
Phil Spencer one day:
Phil Spencer another day:

He may not be a liar, exactly, but he is a master of purposefully misleading statements.

Their strategy going forward is that every device they make runs the same underlying OS. Xbox is even aligned with the windows insider programe now, they run the same builds at the same time.So it's going to be a new Xbox... But it won't be a successor the way the Xbox One was to the Xbox 360... And they'll all play the same games but the newer Xbox will play them better...
What's not incremental about that?
Good lord, the leaks!
Trying to convince yourself not to. It's admirable at least.
3 potential hardware announces at E3 (Nintendo for sure; but also Sony and MS)...E3 hype train in full effect!!!
I know right. Well, it depends. I'm getting married this November so my money is basically gone money (not getting in no debt from the wedding, all cash homie). I could get it for Christmas or my birthday but I already want a Surfacebook for game development and software development at my job but I may wait for the second one on that. We shall see, as I already want and need a second XBO for the bedroom so I may get it next year (I gotta have Kinect...TV is the best with it).
I will convince myself until the end! LOLOLOL. (and then buy it right when it launches and look like a fool to myself. HA)
didn't they recently say they have no interest in a .5 system mid gen?
This makes more sense for Microsoft than a Xbox 1.5 honestly.
An Xbox one that can run steam is far more useful and has more crossover appeal than a PS4k.

Been there done that. My first Wedding was 40K (although her parents paid for it). Second wedding was 20 bucks at the local courthouse.
Anyway, congrats on the wedding and see you in the Xbox upgrade thread. lol
AP90 said:Congrats Zedox! I am in the same boat with you as my wedding is at the end of may. Then house hunting begins. It's all about the timing to see if I jump on an Xbox One revision as well.. The good news is that with weddings, ideally we should be able to make back like 1/3 of the cost haha (not including the wedding shower gifts and etc.)
