Microsoft is not the first name that comes to mind when you think of revolutionary chip design, but that perception is likely to change once the Xbox One and Kinect hit the market. The chip design in the game console and motion detection sensor are unlike anything on the market, at least at that price point.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
"Among the 50 MCUs are 15 special processors that can handle things like graphics and physics processing. The result is a chip and system that are freakishly powerful and would make any PC gamer drool. The DRAM can access the CPU cache at a rate of 30GB/sec. and non-CPU cache at 68GB/sec. The embedded RAM can transfer data at a rate of 204GBs/sec to different parts of the chip."
That's pretty damn good. The X1 is no slouch in graphics processing.
that's a lot of words but nothing to say. The author believes Microsoft designed the chip. Perhaps someone would be so kind to let them know that they only tweaked it. It was AMD that designed it. -_-
How come Microsoft articles are filled with people posting so much hate but at the same time we have a SOny article yet AGAIN suggesting the PS4 can not achieve 1080p 60fps on a game but it's filled with EXCUSES or Hope that it can be achieved?
but if i was a XB1 game it would be filled with HATE and laughter.

too many fanboys on this site.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the XB1 can do with all it's processors.
The PS4 is pretty much a simple design. Very capable at gaming but as a Techie the XB1 just seems more appealing from a HARDWARE point of view.
Show me! Stop talking as always and SHOW ME!
The usual crap from MS, back it up with something MS!!
A lot of assumption until MS releases an official spec of what is in the final build of the X1, whatever he says means nothing unless proven other wise, I can assume too btw.
Edit: Okay so he makes all this assumptions according to this

Which basically means what we already know. Ps4 is still the stronger hardware. I thought this was new information etc but it isnt.
