Well as most of you know, Final Fantasy 13 is now coming to the 360... and all i can say is wow. Nobody saw this coming. I mean when Square Enix was on stage the idea of a Xbox Final Fantasy was in the back of my head. However when Yoichi Wada walked out showing the new RPG's for the 360. I knew that Microsoft tried to reach the Japan market but with those games i thought it was a lost clause since those games don't look like it is going to make the 360 sales blow up in Japan. As the keynote was coming to an end i thought that a new Bungie game would be shown but i was wrong. Yoichi Wada walks back on stage and shows a trailer for Final Fantasy 13 and announced Final Fantasy 13 coming to the 360. My mind blew up...
Now here is the question, Do you think that Final Fantasy 13 is going to make the 360 sales blow up in Japan or is it going to flop? and do you think that the games arrival to the 360 make the game restricted due to DVD-9? Leave an comment.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The ROG Xbox Ally is another step towards Team Xbox’s 'Play Anywhere' strategy, and perfectly embodies the company’s future and how we’re all going to be playing an 'Xbox' in the future."
The funny thing about Xbox going more PC-like is that I’ve been saying this for over a decade and finally seeing it come to fruition. People use to hate the idea, but now are embracing it, and all I want is to be put on the payroll lol.
On a serious note, I think this is the best route going forward for MS. They don’t have to get out of the hardware game altogether. They can make their home console $300 entry & $600 premium home consoles and from there partner with other hardware makers for anything beyond that. Focus on being a publisher and creating a strong OS / Cloud option for other devices like desktop, handheld PCs, streaming devices, etc…
I honestly think they should also look into NVIDIA as well, with NVIDIA starting to make their own CPUs. Their CPU is already on par with AMDs best laptop CPUs of the previous/current generation which is more than enough, and a RTX 5000 / 6000 laptop GPU hybrid (DLSS 4 / DLSS5) could do wonders for them, and bring some much needed diversity back to console hardware.

I saw this years ago. I don't see how it took this long for people actually close to the industry.
I said this years ago, mind you I know nothing about computers, but I always thought Xbox would go more PC-like.
As I said, and always said, I know squat about PCs, so I thought Xbox would become modular. I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I thought they would build a basic frame/shell and gamers would be able to configure their Xbox how they wish, similar to PC and buy motherboards, sound cards and graphic cards. I don’t know if that’s practical or even possible though.
This was when they first entered the gaming space.
"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.
Today, SCS Software officially announced Project Coaches, the next evolution for Euro Truck Simulator 2, adding buses to the game.
its ps3 exclusive in japan, so its deffinately not going to help them there
