jehurey 3,222 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yup. If they move over to streaming, then the hardcore lemmings that would buy dedicated hardware is going to be less than 10-20 million. Its absolutely certain that the people who own Xbox hardware is going to be less than 50% of all Xbox players. Why would Microsoft produce discs and retail boxes and incur shipment costs to distribute discs for such a small userbase? They're not going to do that. They're going to save those costs so that they can spend it on the massive server maintenance costs that they will have with delivering streaming. Dedicated Xbox hardware owners will be treated like an afterthought. That's embarrassing, considering those are the people paying them the most amount of money.

DynamiteCop 2,084 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sounds like a simple S alternate revision to cut costs and hit a wider demographic with digital adoption being as high as it is now. This could cut $50+ off the top. Discs are not going away, you guys are being stupid again, this is an alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean........look at it from Microsoft's perspective. If these people are willing to drop $500 for ANOTHER piece of console hardware, then Microsoft can simply abuse them as much as they want, and they WILL take it. If Microsoft gets desperate and want to try and undercut Sony at a $400 price point, MS will almost certainly do it to cut costs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
