- Start date
That's it. That's the console. Even the device itself is cloud-based. They're going to stream it right in to the display cases. We are through the looking glass, people.
Those will matter but the business model will matter more. The cost of their subscription or tiers of subscriptions will matter. The ability to play offline and ownership rules will also matter a lot.
If they have ads on start up of every game instead of traditional loading screen this could blow up in their faces.
I mean Xbox is kinda...well, we'll just have to see in the coming years!
I agree.
If they can get us a powerful handheld/hybrid device, I will might be into it!
I know we're won't get it, but still...
I don't think anyone thought it was a dongle, but a streaming device can have, and probably will have, local compute power also
If you think Xbox is getting out of the hardware game - I'm sorry - you're delusional.
I'm just imagining seeing 3 different SKUs for the big AAA fall games, with Google being one of them... and that's a wild thought.
I think the empty display case is gonna be the joke.
Like showcasing there is no hardware required.
