Will Xbox One ever function as a full Windows 10 machine with keyboard and mouse support?
Why wouldn't Microsoft want to replace the desktop PC and take all those Xbox live monies?

I want to believe.

>>52191281
Xbox one is pure crap

Thank god is failing and PS4 is kicking its ass so hard
>>
Even if xbox one had win 10 it wouldn' replace deskops. Pretty sure they know this.
>>
>>52191428
why not? I'd use one as a desktop
>>52191410
don't think it's failing friendo, yeah it's far behind in total sales but I'm sure Xbox is very profitable. Look how ridiculous Halo sales were for an average game. Xbox isn't going anywhere.
>>

Do you know ea access?
>>
>>52191776
What did that have to do with what he said? lmao.
EA access seems alright, it's not like EA to offer good value. But then again all their games suck so I'd never get it.

>Will Xbox One ever function as a full Windows 10 machine with keyboard and mouse support?

The goal is for the entire OS to function as if it were a full-on Windows 10 PC, but with a TV friendly overlay, similar to steam big picture mode.


>Why wouldn't Microsoft want to replace the desktop PC and take all those Xbox live monies?

Because Microsoft knows they'll make more live monies if they locked you into the Microsoft environment. It won't fucking matter if you're on a PC or an Xbox in the future.

nope

1TB hybrid version available
>what is the cloud
I'm currently using 103GB of my 451GB laptop drive, even the smaller storage version is fine unless you're a power user that collects anime porn.

I'm not sure that would do me much good. I'm not trying to upload all this shit to the cloud and then lose access when I decide I just don't want internet anymore. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are in the same situation.
>>
>>52192081
well fair point but most people don't have that much shit, what is it all?
Obviously someone like you will always need a high powered desktop, but I don't get why Microsoft hasn't added keyboard/mouse support for the One, it's triggering me.
>>
>>52192081
Holy fucking I need a NAS batman.

>>52192119

Movies, music, emulation iso's roms, software, system backup, tv shows, archives of my family photos in folders by years, wallpapers, pc games.

Lot of random shit.

I googled quickly and found this. Haven't read it though but you might be interrested in it.

Checked!

Glad someone agrees, they should let me work for Microsoft I clearly have better ideas that don't revolve around TV.
>>
>>52192925
it would genuinely make it the best home console of all time
>xbone suddenly supports every PC game from last gen
>no longer have to rely on dogshit 360 emulation for most games
just think, the xbone is capable of 1080p/60fps mass effect trilogy but instead its stuck at 720p25fps because of emulation
>>
>>52192344
Looks like a few dead pixels at the bottom there, you should see if you can exchange it :^)
>>
>>52191281
No because of how it runs it would run like shit.
Xbox one uses a hypervisor with 2 OSes, one runs the heavily modified windows for UI and apps, it's pretty resource starved so it wouldn't be able to run it too well. The other is for gaming and while they don't specify it, is obviously another heavily modified windows just for gaming. To do actual windows stuff they'd need to have a third, more full windows OS added and give it a fair amount of the resources, but it would run like shit anyways on just 1.75ghz cores.

I rarely ever game, but I really despise consoles. They are normal computers with a crippled, locked down OS on them, with their main advantage being easier to use by less tech literate people, so of all people I would least expect the people on /g/ to like them.
They don't create nearly as much competition in the graphics card, cpu, etc industry as desktop PCs, or even laptops, because you only have two to choose from with zero customisability (maybe three if you're such a faggot that you'd legitimately buy a wii).
You can't mod your games, it's harder to pirate shit, can't back up your saves as easily, etc.
They didn't have keyboard and mouse support up till now, and playing rts, rpg and moba games without that is just retarded. Fps games can be played, but of course a mouse is still superior to a controller when it comes to aiming, this is why they have autoaim or some shit on consoles that automatically moves your aim in the right direction if you get close enough.
>>
>>52191281
No because that will be dumb. You are dumb for even thinking they might.

Do you think people pirate their hardware too, you autistic retard? Btw I don't even have any pirated software (with the exception of the software I have in virtual machines in case I need someting that can't be done in windows), because I use GNU/Linux.

Top lel. I can see someone typing up a paper on an xbox one, and then it suggests that I should play Forza or some shit.

A video game console should never be a desktop computer.

>>52195403
So these people that build gaming PCs shouldn't ever type up a paper?
