    I still think his choice of words is indicative of a certain attitude towards consumers but thanks for the opinions guys. To me, that attitude just falls in line with everything they were proposing before all the backlash from E3. MAYBE I'm over thinking
    but definitely not trolling.

    There are people that simply cannot afford to buy games at $60, it doesn't mean they are cheap. And why would you want prices to remain at a stable $60, as a consumer shouldn't you want competition to create lower prices? Unless you work for a game company
    I can't understand the logic behind this. Why does anything need to be done about all the physical media circulated in the used market? I don't even know where you could possibly be going with this line of thinking.

    [/quote]

    I know people who are cheap, these people also have more than enough to buy the games new, they look around to find used games for dirt cheap. If that option were not available they would buy new at full price.
    .
    The ones who cannot afford it can save up their money and buy fewer games. Instead of purchasing 4 used games at $15 for $60 and none of the money going toward the publisher they can buy 1 game for the $60 with all of the money
    can go to the publisher. They will only have a few less games than they normally would.
    .
    The physical media already in circulation is so cheap now that it makes the digital download ports almost not worth considering. When you can buy mario bros on a cartridge cheaper than you can off the marketplace then why go
    through the effort of porting it over for such little gain?
    [/quote]

    I feel almost obligated to reply to this since I am quoted but I have no idea how to respond to this nonsense. I don't know how any of this benefits consumers and just reading it in that ugly green is making my head hurt.

    Yes MS would have lost some sells but they would have gained sells from the lower price point. In the end MS decided the console market wasn’t ready for all digital yet, but I would not be surprised if we see a diskless XB1 sometime in the future

    [/quote]

    And look how well it worked out when Sony released their PSP as a digital only version.

    [/quote]None of Sony’s hand held games have sold well disk based or not but that was not point. The TC is implying that MS was trying to screw over there consumers but I was pointing out that that they were going through the normal design cycle of determining
    where the market was heading. They were simply deciding between a lower cost all digit vs a higher cost disk system.

    [/quote]

    I understand your point but my point is that track record has shown that releasing digital only consoles has generally not gone well. The PSP Go was discontinued outside of the US within 18 months of it's release. This may have been 2 years ago but it seems
    to me that it will be a while before disc-less consoles will become accepted enough to even consider developing a redesigned console.

    Agree it might be awhile before we see a disk less console, the biggest hang up being consumers wanting to be able to sell trade and loan there games. MS has already stated that they have been working at a way to do all of this with digital media so if they
    can get all of the kinks out of the system I don’t see any reason they would not release a digital only XB1 especially if they could undercut Sony’s price.

    It's all to distract people from the second die in the APU. It may not be a dGPU, but there's something under the top APU...

    Look at the maker mark. A12 is a revision. 41 is a line at GloFo fab 8. 40 is a separate line at GloFo fab 8. Not gonna speculate that 41 is 22 nm or anything, could be 28nm SOI. It's clearly a stacked die. Also, if you look at the power chokes on
    Xbone board versus the PS4 board, Xbox gives a much wider power envelope to the APU (5x 30-50 Watt chokes). Sony only gives 4x 30-50 watt chokes. Considering the power gates built into Xbone APU, and the allegedly fewer ALUs, you would not need a maximum
    range of 150-250 (likely 150 since you still have to power everything else and heck, a 4.2 ghx 32 nm retail APU is only 100 Watts) watts going to the APU.... unless it was an APU and a half. Maybe theres another 4 cores Jaguar cores and 6 more CUs on the
    bottom. Not sure, but it is there. Look for yourself. Why Microsoft is hiding this fact back is another mystery, but it is there. And they do not want to share it with the world yet.

    This is my point exactly but unfortunately, digital costs a lot less to produce both hardware and distribute the games. Thanks to this digital is being pushed to the point where it will be mandatory. Although, for the points I've already made, I don't think
    it will happen soon and I wouldn't like it to either.

    It's a turn of phrase. Primarily used in the development world ( development of products ) it denotes the process that you can achieve a goal with using the least amount of resources as possible.

    You people are seriously reading too much into a common idiom.

    [quote user="Sunburst Univox"]I just think it says something about their attitude towards us consumers, instead of looking for ways to please us it makes it seem as though they're trying to see what they can get away with.[/quote]

    And this is exactly why I don't like MS. And it's been their attitude for a while (when wanting people to go to a subscription model for Office, knowing that most people don't need Office updated every year so that's not enticing enough, they tried to make
    it so if you bought Office you could only install it on one machine ever. The whole policies they tried and 180'd on with Xbox One, getting people to ignore the fact they want to charge you for Netflix despite the fact that they don't even maintain or run
    Netflix and you already pay for Netflix and you pay your internet provider for the internet).

    It's a big reason why I'm biased against xbox, isn't cause of the xbox itself, it's because it's attached to a company with a really crappy attitude towards customers (what can we get away with that the customer will just "deal with it" very much sums up their
    attitude of their customers).

    I don't, that would be impossible. If MS ever went all-digital I wouldn't invest until I saw a decrease in prices.

    Nobody complains about this crap with Steam.

    And as others have pointed out, OP is totally overthinking what Spencer said. I use that phrase all the time, and it's never because I'm trying to pull a fast one. It basically just means, "would it be practical?"
