With window’s 10 Dx12 and everything Microsoft has done and improved in just a year or so show’s there committed to what the fans (Consumer’s) want done and the service we deserve. They are coming along as a team and as a company that are valuing our opinions as a buyer and turning them into a innovation we use daily. I could not be happier about the changes and am looking forward to whatever else they have to bring to us as a consumer!

In general I think Phil wants to work in the console industry for a long time (already has), and wants to be #1 with Xbox, but, would like to see Sony and Ninity succeed as well, as it’s good for consoles in general. Phil’s impact will be felt big time in the next 2 years. I think he’s already turned the ship around, but it’ll take time before he hits his full stride with the X1 and Windows gaming. Sony’s doin their thing, and we’ll see what Nintendo does hardware wise in the coming years……..will they go full next gen?

In reply to Lennox.

That’s a keen observation……..considering Mantle can be easily ported to DX12 code, and Frostbite is EA’s engine (which uses Mantle now), that’s a strong possibility. I’d luv to have atleast some select 3rd parties using DX12 upon launch (holiday 2015).

It very well may be outpacing it – but the fact is that consoles seem to only be getting more popular right now.

I’ve been hearing your argument for quite a few years now and, funny thing, it doesn’t seem to have blunted the popularity of consoles one iota.

In reply to Timothy Collins.

The reality of the market is the one Sony and MS are not selling you. PC gaming is vastly outpacing consoles in software and hardware revenue.

Sorry for your loss. Kiddo. By the way, PC does have better graphics.

In reply to TheWayItsMeantToBePlayed. I've been hearing about how the market is heading towards PC gaming and consoles will be dead soon for a couple decades now. But yet this generation of console has so far outpaced the last gen, and that gen outpaced the one before it. So the reality of the market seems to conflict with where you think it is headed...

You’re delusional , if you think because PC has better graphics , all gaming is headed in the PC direction … Remember this , before you let something like that come out of your mouth again , “until they figure out a way to control piracy and get big exclusive …we have a long ways to go before your “pipe dream comes true.

In reply to Psionicinversion. You're right. But as close as EA and MS are, I'm willing to bet that they may have a beta version of DX12.

Yet the best option still would be to partner with Nvidia (Since AMD screwed them) and go full PC gaming since that is where the market is heading.
