But that happens anyways.. Devs are still making ps3/360 editions of games when you need a ps4/x1 to really play it..
But if they are both x86 based running the same os? Its the same game just with different settings enabled..
Imagine a world when you need to buy a new console to get better graphics.. How dare Microsoft do something so radical and unheard of??
Oh wait.... Lol
Because kids had to beg their parents for their console and know begging for the upgrade Wont be fun.. So of they can't have it, it shouldn't exist.. Lol
Sure seems that way some times
Yeah.. One is a PC that plays unoptimized PC games on an obscure Linux os
The other is a console playing optimized Xbox games with set hardware (even if they release two versions)
Totally the same ;)
Could end up being cheaper too. So dont always need a new psu, chassis, bluray etc.. Just slap in the newer AMD apu and you're good to go for a few more years..
Are you for real? Wow..
For real.. Just muting you vs insulting you. My god...
So don't upgrade.. That's the whole point..
You guys are just trying to make this a bad thing
Lmao..
That's what you think huh?
They can't.. Just the normal preemptive strike from the haters..
Except a specific upgrade, say the same family GPU can still be heavily optimized if they know what you have..
Its like talking to brick walls like usual around here.. Lol.. Nobody ever said you could put whatever you want in it..
But you aren't forced into upgrading.. Obviously new software is made with new hardware in mind..
Except you are making assuptions for the worst case.. Just like the DRM fiasco that was way blown out of proportion before it ever fully came to light..
So many still think you couldn't trade your games thanks to stupid rumors and assumptions and its 2 years later
But you do right?
Lol.. Love replies like that
Exactly.. Its not like making a game for AMD and Intel chips, then ddr3 and 4 or even ddr2 still.. Then both lines for GPU etc.. Its a nightmare
Enter a console that has either AMD GPU A or B.. Still easy to optimize and run the same code..
Stock runs at 900p/30 or get the upgrade, download a texture pack and now you get 1080/60.. For example..
Its not a PC scenario..
Because its not even remotely the same thing?
A PC game needs to run on thousands of combinations of hardware.. Handling 2 sets of hardware is simple especially when done exactly how they want it.. Games can still be heavily optimized for a set of hardware when they know exactly what you have
You still won't be dealing with 3rd parties releasing new hardware every 6 weeks or bad drivers etc..
Played all the old top down gtas back in the day but wasn't a big fan until vice city.. Might have been gta3 but it was the 3d games
I'd agree, I highly doubt it is..
But they always do a mid gen revision or slim if you will.. Could be introduced then
I havent cracked my case open but I'm going to assume you won't find anything easy to swap, that would be the key factor I believe... If they planned for this, it would be braindead simple to swap out the apu
I can see it happening and think its a great idea.. People using the PC argument are forgetting 2 or 3 subsets of hardware are fairly easy to manage, its not like the limitless options for PC.. But it will need a new x1 model imo
In 2003, amid a major financial crisis caused by over-expansion, Universal Studios' parent company, Vivendi Universal Entertainment (a division of Vivendi), decided to sell an 80% stake to NBC's parent company, General Electric. The sale and resulting merger formed NBC Universal. The new company was 80% owned by GE, and 20% owned by Vivendi.[8
ahh.. theres another youngin whining about shipped numbers again like clockwork..
guess what? every time they ship consoles, it means the last shipment is sold.. welcome to retail 101
