Announcing two new consoles at E3 would be a "strange lead-in" to spinning off the Xbox brand, Spencer says.

So you can play every game the X1 has on the PS4?

@kingtito: No but I certainly can play them without of Xbone.

So everyone has a gaming PC then?

@kingtito: I do. =D

So you getting Halo/Forza/Gears (like you cows go on about all the time) for the PS4?

@i_p_daily: PC =D

I mean, that's kind of a "no shit" scenario.

Incorrect on two points.

1.) The Xbone has been out for two years already, and it's approaching it's third year.

2.) The Xbone released in Nov 2013, the Xbone Scorpio is due Holiday 2017.

The Xbone would be four years old, not five, when the Xbone Scorpio releases.

Conjecture on why you changed the timeline aside, your timetable is off.

I know this because I bought an Xbone on launch day, so it's easy to remember.

A year in the console world is a long time and a lot can change in a single year.

So that would be a no. So how exactly does a game being shared with PC == strange since it still can't be played on the PS4? It doesn't since you have PC gamers and you have console gamers.

@Legend002: You jump up & down on here playing some sort of no exclusives card, yet you're still buying MS games, and thus giving your money to MS.

Well, Xbox One S is price competitive 4K ultra-blu-ray player that can play Xbox One games.

@ronvalencia: I'll correct you. It's priced correctly as a video game console that also happens to be a 4K Blu-Ray player. The majority of people buying this are not solely buying it can play 4K Blu-Rays. In fact how would any non-gaming population really know about it. They weren't watching E3. Unless they've seen and online ad, they wouldn't know.

It's an Amazon #1 best seller already because gamers are buying it.

Without Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows store?

Xbox One has customized Windows 10 with DirectX12 and AMD GPU intrinsics (e.g. Doom 2016 XBO build) . AMD recently enabled shader intrinsics for PC's GCNs.

Build a PC box with Xbox One S's $299 price tag that can play Quantum Break at Xbox One level.

Does anybody besides SW trolls actually want them to leave the market though? Less competition is bad for everyone.

Looks more like a desperate attempt to save the Xbox brand

2 consoles? one of them is 1.5 years away? WTF?

No, but doesn't change the fact Xbox One will have ZERO exclusives from now on.

I'll correct you

Xbox One S's 4K blu-ray play-back made it on mainstream press.

@ronvalencia: so, you cite two articles as a way to say that people are purchasing the Xbox One S in the numbers that they are due to the 4K BluRay player? You're just wrong. The BluRay player is the icing and not the actual cake.

Most people aren't aware of this. afew posters here think gaming would be better off if sony had total control of the market.

Saving from what? Xbox is fine, fanboys are the only ones that seem to think they're in need of saving. You a fanboy?

McCarthy: Pricing is always—that’s what I love about Xbox One S. We’re going to be available with HDR gaming capability, 4K video, and Blu-ray. Blu-ray alone—most 4K Blu-ray players right now are more expensive than the $299 we’re starting out for Xbox One S in August. Those considerations, making sure we have a price point that customers can enter on, that’s important for us.

For Xbox One S, Microsoft is angling gaming and 4K blu-ray players price points i.e. MS copied Sony's PS2 (DVD video) and PS3 (Blu-Ray video) play book.

@kingtito: yes and so are you, at least im not embarrassed to say it

@ronvalencia: cool. In all of these they mention it. It is a feature after all of course they're going to mention it. So you are saying that the people who are buying it are general public people who have been waiting to pull the trigger on a $300 BluRay player? Scratch that $400, since the 2 TB is the only one that has been selling well due to its closer vailability date. You're insane. Any time hardware is unveiled its written about. Your links mean little to nothing.

Of course. I bought 3 Xbones, Windows 10 and office licenses. So what?

Gotta love the dumb lems who think giving money to MS changes the fact that their games are no longer exclusive to Xbox hardware.

Yep, pretty much. Xbox isn't going anywhere... and despite what certain fanboys will say, that's good for the industry.

Yeah but the difference is I don't asinine statements like "x company is doomed, or X needs to get out of the console business" garbage like you just did. I wouldn't want any of the big 3 out but it's pretty sad a fanboy like you doesn't feel the same. You're not a gamer, just a pathetic fanboy

Why are you calling your fellow lems dumb?

If he becomes a lem, I'm outta here. lol :P

$399 SKU doesn't define Xbox One S's future results. I didn't made my statement with just $399 SKUs nor Amazon source.

Since you are using Amazon source.

Lol at Nahkapukki = leather goat.

@Legend002:

So you bought a console that has no "exclusives" as you love to point out 3 times? LOL. What logic is that since you seem to love exclusives so much since you bring it up all the time in here.

The only people who care about that is you cows, you use it to try and prove superiority, but as long as the games i want to play are still available on console, than I care not if they go to Windows 10 PC also.

You keep the good fight up Sony soldier I hope Sony rewards you one day for your good work :P

He has always been a lem hiding in cows clothing. Didn't you know his real handle is MasterChiefSwag :P

This^

They killed X1S out the gate. Thet may have hurt the X1 already weak sales too.

@i_p_daily:

LOL, no didn't know that I only knew of Heil as a lem in cowhide. :P

@SecretPolice: Well for someone who's supposed to be a cow, he talks way more about MS, so i'm saying he's a lem in cows clothing and named him MasterChiefsSwag lol.

@i_p_daily:

Lol so true and there's a whole lot more here who do the same but yeah, he may be king of talking more X1 than anything else.

Because I can. Doesn't change the fact the bone is a terrible console without ant exclusives.

Gap of 4 months till 5 years come on does it have to be exact? The xbox will be out closer to 5 years then 4 years.

And yet you bought that terrible console with no exclusives 3 times LOL. That's a clown move.

@BigShotSmoov007: You right about terrible console without any exclusives. Good thing for MS I do charity.

@Legend002:

I didn't say anything about it being a terrible console, you did. Smart people don't donate to charity as you say then turn around and call it terrible. Especially 3 times lol. Clownish move.

Thank god for MS there's a lot of fools in this world.

He also said he is not a fan of Xbox One 1.5, look at how it turned out

"The reason we announced when we did--one is I wanted to give customers a view into what we were doing," Spencer said at the show. "If they say I have an Xbox One now, I'm thinking about an Xbox One S, I want to be as transparent as I can be so they know they're buying with as much information as I can give them.

How many xbox one has being sold.?

Lets be transparent on something that is not coming for 1.5 years so we can rain on the competition parade and try to kill hype for their weaker system.

But as soon as the question is about sales,transparency is shut to hell..lol

Last desperate effort? Announcing two consoles at the same time didn't make sense. No exclusives doesn't make sense. Continuing to bet on a losing horse doesn't make sense.

Several Microsoft executives (including Bill Gates) have publicly expressed favor in axing the Xbox. Unless something turns around for the Xbox it's going to happen.

Exactly lol

The fact is that they are not exhibiting ANY signs of abandoning Xbox and has made moves to further cement its future so, coming to that conclusion is rather silly.

See when this ^^ is say about Sony you say nothing is when the xbox get into question that you come out of your cave,you are a lemming so sad you don't what a back bone to admit it,maybe when scorpio arrive you will. lol

But somehow everyone has an xbox one now.?

More PC gamers own a gaming PC than people who own an xbox one,and i ma not segregating them by power.

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

Oh boy this is something but you are not a lemming right.? Hahahaaa

Yes they are not exclusive you don't need an xbox one to play them,regardless of not been available for PS4,come on you are not new on system wars,but then again you are a lemming and it was you people who invented the term console exclusives..lol

PC is not owned by MS and some of the xbox one exclusives are not from MS,like dead rising Ryse and many others,giving the money to MS change in nothing that you don't need an xbox one to play multiplatforms which are also available on PC.

The real winner here are Hermits which can play tons of games on PC + play what use to be xbox one exclusives...lol

How are those inferior port on xbox one this days.? Hahahaaa

Except for moving all exclusives to PC and steering attention away from Xbox numbers in favor of Live numbers.
