Adam Sessler & Albert Penello on the Xbox One (Interview)
Summary:
*"We want to make an awesome next-gen box that will make the Xbox 360 immediately outdated."
*Xbox One Instant switching experience -- a way to modernize gaming; All games are loaded to hard drive; faster. Can play game before it's fully installed and/or do other things with the Xbox One's system features (like watch a video).
*"Loading screens will probably be up to the developer." -- But they overall want to see it reduced and/or gone.
*"(Sony's) doing things in their hardware to make it best that they can. We're doing things to our hardware to make it the best that we can. I don't believe the difference between these systems will be as significant as comparing individual components. How is it that a 400 HP Porsche can be faster than a 700 HP Corvette?" -- Overall it's balance and trade offs and it'll come down to the games.

Well yeah...that's kinda the point of Next Gen consoles.
That's understandable and great because that's what any company should do with a evolution with their product but at what cost to the support of the X360 because it's going to be very relevant for a number of years because of it's install base but hasn't really been support for some years now. I mean it been almost absent from conferences/announcements expect from it's very small highlight at E3.
XB1 should of course make X360 feel outdated but it shouldn't make it any least relevant that it is.
That's expected, lol.
As long as this isn’t hinting at a drop of support for the 360.
Is this how MS plans on supporting the 360 for 3 more years?
