Microsoft's Xbox Project Scarlett console is awesome, and it doesn't matter

Microsoft has set a release date for Project Scarlett, its next-generation game console. It promises incredible performance, stunning 8K visuals, and lightning-quick load times -- but none of that matters. The console's relevance is waning.

The familiarity of this article is just as familiar as console cycles.

If your the kind of person who doesn't bother with exclusive games, mainly play muti plats. Get the console that plays them best. That should be Microsofts new slogan.

leejohnson2221775d ago

Wait till E3 should be their slogan, the head at MS actually said that right after E3. You couldn't make it up any funnier

aconnellan1775d ago

You’re glossing over the fact that people specifically asked why Playground Games wasn’t there, and he said that what they’re working on won’t be ready until next E3.

It’s not like E3 finished and he said “if you didn’t like it, wait till next year it’s going to be great!”, which is what your comment seems to imply

rainslacker1775d ago

Chances are, even if people limit the games they play, there will be exclusive games in there that they want to play as well. Except maybe the people who just play sports games like FIFA or Madden. But, nowadays, people will probably buy the system that their friends play on, unless they have no friends, in which case, they'll buy whatever they feel is best for them. I'd probably tell someone who only plays one or two games not to even bother with a next gen console until they came down in price. I don't think any console is worth buying for one or two games.

Godmars2901775d ago

That's been MS's slogan since this gen. Since the XBX anyway.

RacerX1775d ago

Sad, but true. As an Xbox fan boy myself, this whole X1 experience has been "what's about to happen".

xX-oldboy-Xx1775d ago

Come 2025, Scarlett outsells xbox one and all its incarnations, PS5 is tracking better than PS4. Come 2026 we get the same articles again.

rainslacker1775d ago

Consoles are always dying. Its a really really.......really long and protracted slow death, coupled with lots of second winds, and ends up being the old geezer that just won't kick the bucket.

Funny thing though, I wonder if all these sites are looking forward to being about as relevant as mobile gaming websites are now....where no one really knows about them, and they just get their money off click through ad revenue from search engines. Almost none are actually on the level of the bigger gaming sites with a good number of loyal readers.

xX-oldboy-Xx1775d ago

How ridiculous is it? We see the same stuff at the end/beginning of each gen. It seems a future they all want, once it's here I think the story will be a little different. It'll bite them (anyone) on the arse if they back this 'future' of gaming.

RosweeSon1775d ago

This kinda blind faith is why they put out any old rubbish

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers18h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing13h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H914h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola10h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66913h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle12h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
