The dull E3 2017 has died down, during which Microsoft presented the Xbox One X, an enhanced version of the usual Juan. And this console has already been trashed by everyone who could. Like, it’s a good console, but of course I won’t buy it – no games. They immediately put Sony and its PS4 as an example, while for some reason everyone decided to forget the most despicable trick with the release of PS4 Pro in the discussion of this topic. Also, out of nowhere in the debate about the console wars, arguments appeared in favor of the PC: “why the Yellow River, when you can play the same thing on a PC?». All this, of course, can be understood. But I would also like to highlight an alternative point of view.
First of all, I was confused by this “no games”, which has traditionally been the prerogative of gaming bricks from Sony. Excuse me, but how is it “no games” when the Yellow River will have the entire multi-platform at its disposal plus all the games from the “boxes” of the previous two generations? No, of course, we will buy the most expensive console at the moment not only for the sake of old toys. It’s worth noting that the E3 presentation isn’t all the games we’ll see. The current gene had every chance of becoming the shortest, but instead of the typical transition to a new gene, they decided to stretch the current one by releasing enhanced versions of consoles. I wouldn’t be surprised if after some time we see not PS5 or Xbox Two, but just even more powerful versions. After all, the main task of new versions is to provide developers with new capacities (though the capacities are then used ineptly). I got ahead of myself, but nevertheless, the current gene is getting more and more chances to live longer, and at the same time – to be filled with a large number of games, including multi-platform ones.
But at the moment, the Yellow River is an excellent option for playing multiplatform games. Of course, in the event that you do not have a powerful enough PC to run everything at ultra 60 frames. Otherwise, for $500 you won’t be able to build a PC that can do what the Yellow River can do. A bonus here is, as already mentioned, backward compatibility (a thing that will probably never appear on the PlayStation), size and innovative cooling of the console. And also the design, yes. Unfortunately, the new version of Juan is not a new console, but just a stronger version of the old one.
And now the key point of this appeal. It’s about the duplicity of console players in relation to Xbox. Until now, in the platform wars, all console players have put forward such things as the main arguments: simplicity (turn it on and play, no need to mess around, etc.).d.), convenience (a subjective thing, but playing on the couch with a gamepad is really not stressful), absence of cheaters and viruses, high-quality service and content, and, of course, exclusives. Moreover, the latter was by no means presented as a key feature. And then Xbox lost these most exclusive games, which abruptly ceased to be considered a “console”; it was simply predicted to die. This sentiment perfectly demonstrates the fact that console gaming (and especially that from Sony) still exists only thanks to system sellers. And next time all Sony fans should be honest: I choose (should be read as “I’m forced”) PlayStation not because I love consoles, but because they have exclusives.
Of course, from the point of view of an ordinary consumer with limited funds, the choice between Xbox One X and PS4 Pro will be obvious: on the latter you can play both multi-platform games and exclusives. But in this case, don’t be surprised when Sony starts raising its already outrageous tariffs, when the quality of service drops, when the new generation console, no matter how crap it may be, will again lure you with a couple of decent exclusive games, when for newcomers to console gaming access to old games will once again be closed. Mircrosoft, having abandoned exclusives and made such a powerful console, tried to bring something new to console gaming. Xbox suddenly defended the very idea of gaming on consoles, rather than defending the business interests of its manufacturer. We’ll see how successful they are at this yet.

Why the hell did you make a discovery – why the hell do you need a console without games?? To lie in an embrace with her in bed, caress the symbol of Sony and Playstation, while also caressing yourself? You are not that obvious captain, you are Admiral Yasenher.
Where does the info come from?? https://Nonukcasinosites.co.uk/Casinos-Not-on-GamStop/ Someone already bought a console, came home and played something?
I’m very sorry for the rudeness, but when will you, sheep, fucking understand: what was shown to you somewhere there at some exhibition may well not be finalized, not optimized, or even be a test sample, jerked off by testers.
Okay, let’s now forget about graphenium and look at the performance characteristics of the console. And what do we see? And we see a more powerful machine (not much, but still) on the same architecture as the previous ones. It is logical to assume that games will run faster, long download times will go away, and more technologically advanced projects will appear. Although it’s not a fact, in fact the console may turn out to be lagging shit, puffing like a steam locomotive.
Now let’s look at the target audience of the new Xbox. that is me. I don’t have an Xbox, but I want an Xbox. And what do I see. A console is coming to the market that isn’t much, but still superior to its predecessors, doesn’t cost much more, and looks… well… Let’s be honest, it looks like crap. In my opinion, the choice is obvious, at least until the console is released.
Indeed, why buy a console for 30,000 rubles when you can shell out 80,000 for a new PC.
In general, to be frank, I still don’t understand who the “console people” are? I have two consoles (PS3 and PS4), as well as two PCs (one built 5 years ago, the other an Apple all-in-one PC that my parents bought for me when I was still in school). I play equally on consoles and on PC. Although it’s even more on PC, lately I’ve been getting lazy and love doing ultra-easy runs while listening to some Angry Joe in the background. Tell me, am I a PC boyar or a console player?? And I still don’t understand who I should throw shit at on the Internet.
At least on a PC for 80k you can not only play, especially considering that xbox one x will cost 40k. Only for these 40k we won’t even get the normal, native 4k promised by T-shirts, but only hashmatic rendering, for which everyone was so shitty about ps4pro) and in some games, without 4k at all.
I myself play multiplayer on my old computer, like sidges or titan foul, and on PS4 I play exclusives or just graphic single-player games that my PC can’t handle anymore. And if you still play on the current generation of consoles, then you are still a PC boyar, because the consoles have x86 architecture xD
Ummm..
I have more complaints about Juanha about the price, not the exclusivity. Why buy a $500 console for a multiplatform when you can get a PS4 Pro for a hundred cheaper?? This is if we are talking about buying our first game console. I’m sure that the quality of the games will be the same (or the difference will be so minimal that if you don’t know where to look, you won’t notice it at all). If you already have some kind of console, then why spend money again on a new one, which is a little more powerful, I personally don’t understand at all.
And next time all Sony fans should be honest: I choose (should be read as “I’m forced”) PlayStation not because I love consoles, but because they have exclusives.
I’ll tell you a secret: a gaming platform is chosen because of interesting games.) And they are, naturally, different for everyone. Well, the fact that some of these games are exclusive – well, “ce la vie”, such is the predatory grin of capitalism)
Yes, I have several Sony consoles (you can brand me a “Sonyboy”). I have a powerful PC. BUT! The PC is used exclusively for work and is placed in the office. Curling irons are used for all kinds of entertainment and are placed in the hall. With the same success, consoles from Microsoft could have been there, but games on a curling iron (Last of Us, Uncharted and others like them) interested me more. Someone in the same situation was more interested in Master Chief and Girza. I have a friend who has consoles from Sony, and from Mike, and from Nintendo huddled near his TV. The question here (as I wrote above) is not exclusivity, but how interesting these games are. I don’t understand the fuss about Sony/Xbox, console/PC, etc.d. If you like to play on the pitch – for God’s sake, play, no one minds. But I absolutely don’t understand why I should batten down my visor and burst into any in-game thread with my sword drawn, shouting “The curling iron is crap, Juan is van love.”.
I’m very sorry for the rudeness, but when will you, sheep, fucking understand: what was shown to you somewhere there at some exhibition may well not be finalized, not optimized, or even be a test sample, jerked off by testers.
You understand, son. Any exhibition, even the most inferior one (hello Igromir) is first and foremost an advertisement. Advertising aimed at making your product run and buy a target audience like the one you consider yourself to be, and along the way drool about 4K. Let’s go back to the fact that all the videos, all the gameplay, etc., are shown with the BEST resolution that is available now, otherwise it will not be sold, since the moment will be missed. And now, remember what the hell was going on with the accusations of all the top companies in the downgrade of graphics, for example, when all the gameplay videos had the inscription, REAL GAME PLAY, and in the end we get a sig on the release, when 2 slivers fly off the wall and this is considered the norm. Or division, when we were promised a JUST HIGH LEVEL DIVE INTO A CITY DESTROYED BY AN EPIDEMIC, and we got some crap with snow that looks like appliques from kindergarten number four in the city of Urodsk.
Just found out today that the Xbox turns out to be called the Yellow River! So this is a river in China! Laughed for a very long time! Thanks for the info.
SHTE?! Dear, do you see the logic in what is written?? Microsoft decided to change policy in order to bring something new to console gaming?
Of course, I’m not good at understanding how much easier it is to write “light” code for hardware that doesn’t change. In particular, that you don’t have to think about the “settings” window (and therefore about a bunch of multi-megabyte libraries for accessing video card drivers). And a single system simplifies the process of creating games for developers. What in fact is a return to the past, when the first Halo was very graphically beautiful, and final fantasy VIII, if I’m not mistaken, did not run on computers of that time, did not last. Please note that these games had temporary exclusivity.
The advantages of consoles have always been that they are cheaper than a powerful computer (for 50,000 rubles), but they have a problem – games cost around 2,000 – 3,000 rubles. If you are happy with this state of affairs please enjoy. But you won’t be able to edit video in the interface that is convenient for you, and a powerful computer for 60,000 rubles will do it without any brakes, which will bring you pleasure, unlike your two-thousand-dollar laptop from a pawnshop.
Exclusives Scorpio will have them in the coming years, there’s no other way. Simplicity leveled out (reset to zero) by multi-gigabyte patches in the first days of sales. Convenience flexible concept. For example: typing on a keyboard lying on the coffee table in front of a 22-inch TV while lying on the couch in order to answer you on a blog is as convenient as replaying Resident Evil 4 on a connected gamepad.no cheaters or viruses – the thief is not caught. Because from now on you can also install on the console (with the advent of the USB connector) viral cheats.Service how much pleasant is in this word s-e-r-v-i-s. In Russia, your service works only in large trading cities and capitals. Because I strongly doubt that they will help you with the brakes on the console if you live in Orenburg or, God forbid, in Novokuibyshevsk.
If you have read this many letters, then I can congratulate you. And a little for thought: the first Play Station had more games than Play station3 and Play station4 combined, which seems to hint that the current consoles cannot cope with their “gaming” role.
