It’s the first step in putting the ESRAM debacle behind them. Also, when they release the next iteration beyond XBO-X, they should be able to push frames.

Unfortunately, they don’t want to (really shouldn’t) segregate their user base while playing together based upon fps differentials.

How is it future proof? Its still tied to the original Xbox One. So all we can expect is better looking games. All games that come to XB1X will have to come to XB1 also. Even if you can get it to run better on XB1X you have to maintain parody for multiplayer games or you give an advantage to players who payed extra for a new console. I think they should have beefed it up a little more and released it next year as a new console. I’ll be getting one anyways. So why am I complaining.

In reply to Living While Alive. It sure can, Xgimp, on games like Crackdown 3 that look absolutely appalling. Or games like Forza 7, which look the same they did when Forza 4 came out. Very derivative, very safe. It's no wonder no one cares about your worthless games.

I was also kinda thinking of other console brands, not just Xbox 😉

And if there’s gonna be a new PlayStation in 2 years don’t think MS will wait 2 to 3 years more to release the next Xbox…

In reply to ShowanW. Two years, tops, then it's obsolete. 4 years is really stretching it...

In reply to Aenea. Not true. There are only a few truly modern engines. You still need to take advantage of the hardware which means a lot of re-writing if they want their engine to really take advantage of new hardware.

In reply to Aenea.

I guess Albert should have said: The hardware spec covers us for the next 4-5yrs or so…

But on a software level… Microsoft has finally for the first time, flex their muscle on a software level.

This is an area Microsoft should have always shined brightest…

In reply to ShowanW. But this article is about the hardware, not the OS, the hardware will be obsolete one day like with every device ever made....
