So will this be Microsoft's Magnum Opens? What do you think

>>382168925
I think a Microsoft-branded gaming PC is the next logical step. MS can get parts at wholesale and sell at a loss while other PC makers can't.

What is the Xbox? Seriously Microsoft's goal with this isn't to stop making consoles and bring console gamers to the PC.
Look at the way they're going with Windows 10 S, and they've even added this into the main Windows itself.
How long until just like with a console you can only play approved games?
Where even if you can still unlock your system games could refuse to run if the lock wasn't enabled and third-party sourced software disabled.

I for one like Valve's attempt to turn consoles into PCs way more than I like Microsoft's effort to turn PCs into consoles.

Why are concept console designs the most retarded things ever?

Do You believe that Opens is a Latin word?

Xbox One X will be MS' last console if it doesnt make a profit. After that, they'll either sell off their games division and keep the Xbox name, or just entirely go PC. I mean they already run the OS market, why not just have all the games there too and kill off Sony.

Nintendo won't be affected by any of this.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

Because they didn't expect companies would start going backwards in terms of design theory.
>inb4 artists catch on and start making PS5 concept art, where it's just a black box with the PS logo on it

>>382170063
no lol the whole point of PC is the openness, if microsoft makes windows full console everybody would just switch to a different OS, something you cant do on a console

Reminds me of how boring consoles have gotten in recent years. They used to have personality between the shell, hardware, controller, etc. Now they're all just black boxes with PC parts and a super closed OS... Will there ever be another company with the balls to release a purple lunchbox again?

>>382177037
No because that looks like a toy, and now that "gamers" have grown up they think we want something modern that looks slick in the living room, even though everyone I know has consoles in their bedrooms.

yeah i believe this will be Microsoft's Swan Dong

>>382174276
How many people will really do that? Do you think Microsoft really cares if Linux goes up to 5% if it means they can effectively kill Steam as a mainstream store?

Plus in a year or two the most common OS on prebuilt PCs will be Windows 10 S, and unlike the versions of Windows which will cost OEMs money the 10 S rules don't require that those systems be unlocked to allow any OS to be installed. So you may not be able to just install another OS.

nah. they don't to bother with design and that is it.
smartphones started this that trend of being simplistic is enough.

I don't have an image suitable for this kekestry

Because that thing you posted wouldn't fit on most entertainment stands. Actual consoles have to be practical.

Nah.
