On Windows MS has their own engineered monopoly which they 'were' hoping they could use to lever more people into the 360 (though Live Anywhere), but thats not working. Theyll make more on Windows, but knowing MS they want their hands in anything the DOJ will let them. Itd be both good and bad for them to leave, while a company like MS is the last id want in the games industry (console or otherwise), the industry needs competition to keep fresh, something MS isnt big on.
the xbox was the worse business decission MS has made.GlassDominion
That (which should be in its own thread) is pretty much dead on, current analsyt predictions put their total loss by ehd of this gen at between 10-15billion US. So its no wonder speculation of no 3rd unit is floating round, especially now Bungie and Bizzare have left in mysterious ways.
ive got both hddvd and blu ray. there are way more hd movies in the blu ray format. hd dvd is almost useless.guppieface
Thats true, BDs content does indeed outnumber HDDVD content by a fairly large amount. HDDVD is also pretty rare to see outside of the US, Ive never seen a HDDVD ad, yet tonight alone Ive seen 3 for BD and 2 for PSP UMD, yeah... its that bad.
The next xbox, if any, will be out in 5 years from the 360s launch, but Im betting theyll dump the 360 real quick much like they did with the original xbox.
The graphics were made that way on purpose, all the way down to how they look in profile was researched and refined. The gameplay however isnt getting good reviews, most are saying ET:QW is better, and Im betting they're right (after playing some recently).
The article refers to grid compiling and a few miner upgrades, nothing the average joe needs to see. Just means the time from source code to executable is drasticly reduced meaning you can tweak/fix quicker. Insomniac for example does about 5 compiles a day.
