AMD will probably shut down production of the old hardware to make room for the new tech, so Microsoft really doesn't have much of a choice, and even if they could keep the Xbox One X hardware going, they'll be the only ones using that tech, so the cost of production will have to go up. It just doesn't make sense moving forward into next gen.
1. Same CPU as the Series X (Better performing CPU than Xbox One X)
2. Same kind of SSD as the Series X (Xbox One X has an old HDD)
3. GDDR6 Memory (Xbox One X has GDDR5)
4. New GPU tech with AMD's RDNA2 Architecture (Xbox One X is equivalent to an old AMD RX 580 GPU with outdated GCN Architecture)
5. Smaller Form Factor.
Read my mind.
Yeah, because one game during an entire generation is just too much /s
As if they haven't already started to slip over the last 7 years, Ubisoft is about to go full woke. Oh well, nothing good ever lasts forever.
Now this actually looks good, unlike the last one.
The rumored purchase of Warner Bros Publishing would certainly healp towards their aim of total game development domination.
If true, this is a let down. Give us downloadable games like Xbox BC.

If that's the case, then clearly, your unit was doing it wrong.
Despite the exchange rate, a dollar is still a dollar to Canadians, and we pay $79.99 plus taxes for a new game. Perhaps they should study the Canadian market, to see if consumer habits have changed much over the last 7 - 8 years, and then these analysts will get some answers to their questions. Personally, I rarely buy any games these days if they aren't on sale.
I just don't see the worth in paying those kinds of prices, and then have all of the micro-transaction...
Well, from this thread, it would seem that not everyone has the gift of IQ.
Unfortunately, that's the youth of today, and the values they've been brought up with on social media.
My PC that I upgraded in February, was a Dell Studio XPS 9000. When I bought it back in 2009, it originally came with an i7 920 2.67GHZ CPU, 3GB DDR3 1066MHZ Memory and a GTX 260 (1792MB) GPU, 500GB HDD and a Dell 460 Watt PSU. Over time I upgraded to 24GB 1066MHZ Memory, an AX 860 Corsiar PSU, 1TB HDD, and an EVGA GTX 780 Classified GPU (4.82 Tflops).
My PC, as it was, worked just fine, but as we see with Horizon Zero dawn, my GTX 780 is, for the first time, a minimum spe...
Nice, I'm in the same boat. Bought mine in February after getting my taxes back. Which model did you get? I bought the EVGA 2080 Super XC. It will be interesting to compare the performance against RDNA2. We have to see if AMD's performance per Tflop has caught up with Nvidia's performance per Tflop. It also looks like DLSS 2.0 is starting to show serious benefits.
That was exactly what I though about when I was reading Yves' letter...
This is what Canadians have been paying for the last 7 years, and it's way too much. Now, with the price increase, we'll be paying $89.99 or something stupid for a base game. At the end of the day, these are video games, not the necessities of life, so I would be surprised if consumers continue to buy new games as they have, particularly when you start looking at the cost of DLC, micro-transactions and 'ultimate edition' versions of games.
If I were you, and I know it's easy for me to say this, but I would upgrade to a B550 motherboard, and get a Zen 2 or Zen 3(when they come out) CPU. I prefer to upgrade going into the next generation of consoles, so that I'm good to go for 5+ years. When I bought my GTX 780, back in February of 2013, it was an attempt to future proof myself through the PS4/Xbox One generation, and it did a great job over that period of time.
Edinburgh, in reference to the Scottish, is probably a cheap streaming console.
Good thing I upgraded from my GTX 780(3GB) to an RTX 2080 Super back in February. I was already feeling the pinch with Gears 5, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
Exactly, if they would add a higher tier of settings to the PC version, then this whole point would be moot.
