Is it possible for X1 slim to have updated graphics?

And divide their playerbase? Nope. They want to make money unlike Nintendo and their New New New handheld iterations.

Not if they want to keep a fanbase. Early adopters with the exception of the largest lems would be infuriated if they updated the hardware and made it so it ran games better than the X1 can now.

Don't seem the harm if Microsoft put a legal document forward that games must run at a certain standard on the old model and the new one just happened to run it quicker then so be it. Don't see why you'd want to just put out an inferior hardware package and not take the chance to improve the system you roll out.

Its done with every other level of techonolgy from computing, TVs, phones etc.. makes little sense to let Sony have the performance advantage when it can be closed down.

Because games taking advantage of the new hardware may not run on the current hardware.

yeah what if a dev was like its too weak for the xb1 and they put it on xb2 and ps4

omg that would suck i hope microsoft looks into this crap very carefully

I think in response to the OP, he's right. The OP is asking if a new sku for Xbox one has updated graphical capabilities that would be on par with the PS4. That involves upgrading the APU. That goes beyond just making smaller components...

Then you should really consider a new username. And @nyadc already answered your question in post #4.

You can only imagine what kind of community backlash MS would receive if they upgraded the graphics for an X1 slim. Consoles are all about standardized hardware. If it's any consolation I don't see them making this kind of mistake again next gen and even I'll probably jump ship to MS.

An upgraded console is essentially a new console so no.

No, that's not going to happen.

That suka has too much horsepower as it is, you'd need a 220 V outlet if you made it mooaar powahfull. :P

Anyhoo, as has been said, no, bad idea that would never happen.

No it wont , stop dreaming lems about greater hardware ...

X1 hardware is a standard model that will continue be like this for the rest of this generation. MS most probably will try to fight back with price ( as they doing like a year now ) and thats a good thing for lems.

Goodfellas

They had to put a limiter on the cpu/gpu combo later model x360s had. So it is possible, but sucidal as well....

because that'd be like having 2 create 2 different versions for just one platform, publishers would have to invest more money. And then how long before that old console model becomes a tiny minority? It'd become an even greater leakage of money.

@ps4hasnogames: No, because the install base issues.

No company will want to develop games for the tiny improvements in hardware because it will cut off the old Xbone install base.

I remember when trolls were clever.

lol xboner

How is that funny unless you have the mentality of a 6 year old. Oh, right, I forgot who was posting. You roofied anyone lately, pretend gamer?

Well considering everyone overreacts when 99% can't even see a difference, i'd say no.

No

I've never used roofies in my life.

It would help a ton and wouldn't affect Xbox One Phat users.

lol!

My charm and slick words have the same result, only they legal.

uh... so you cause people to fall asleep and develop amnesia?

Oh shit, hah.

Why would I use roofies on myself?

roofies weren't created just so you could get a date. It is used by people for both medical and recreational purposes

To momentarily make you forget what a sad human being you are.

They definitely could, but they will not. That would piss a lot of Xbox One owners off.

they cant really change the core spec. well they can, technically, but they really shouldnt.

they only thing i can think of that they could do without effecting game performance and compatability is add specialised hardware to take the output from the X1 GPU and properly upscale it to 1080P and apply a post process AA as standard to reduce/remove the jaggies (if there isnt anything in the X1 to do this already). it would be like a post post process :P. i dont know if anything suitable exists mind. it would also have to be done while keeping any extra latency to an absolute minimum.

but a console is a fixed spec for its life (unless its a nintendo handheld). changing that spec can cause all sorts of problems.

That's a nice self-portrait.

What would they called it? "Xbox One Point Five"? and what would they do with their current customers? say **** you no more games? or would they send everyone a new console?

Let's start with the slim anticipation. I don't want one. Keep that bitch big and cool.

As for the hardware change? Never gonna happen. DX12 and Teh Cloud will crush the PS4 in graphics next yearz. ;-p

Upgrading the hardware would lock out early Xbox One adopters from newer games.
