That old chestnut. PC has cost me 1k including upgrades since purchase in 2011.

How much will you have spent on an Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S and a Scorpio in that time frame?

What technical knowledge is required to operate a PC, it isn't 1998 you know?

Xbox fans triggered but here I am playing all your exclusives on my PC at a desk, or with the 'living room' experience, at a resolution and framerate you can only dream of.

Eh? The 360 came out in 2005. Are you still using a pc from 2005?

Can xbone Scorpio play 360 games? A 1k pc can play almost every pc game released past 20 odd years

Backwards compatibility is a thing on the Scorpio (Not all games though)

Sounds good. Scorpio sounds more like a steam console then a transitional console

If the millions cared that much they'd buy a PC.

There is literally no reason to own Xbox branded hardware now. PC gets all their exclusives, will last longer than a console gen and can be customised to be so much more.

I regret spending £200 on an Xbox because I have a PC built in 2011 that smashes it all over.

lol.

I reckon a 5870 will still smash an Xbox One though.

Not sure what you are on about..I bought a 360 in about 2006, that was £280 with games at the time.
I then bought a Xbox one a few years ago 2013 for £449.

So all in all for 10 years worth of gaming I spent £730 on hardware.

But you wont play all xbox 360 games you own on your new console?

I have consoles and PCs I just dont like walled gardens and lack of backwards compatibility in any medium.

Unless he kept his 360 and can play all his games?

Sure, that's not quite what I said though and doesn't really address the issues that the "generational" approach artificially introduce in my opinion.

I have a few games with backwards compatibility but never touch them, why would I want to play a rubbish looking game from 7 years a go when I could be playing a amazing looking game from this year or last.

I also want to just turn on and play, not have issues with games like Pcs do.

Odd, I have some old films and albums that I quite like. I guess in this medium ymmv.

I don't mind watching old films and music, but games never grab me a second time around, even amazing game's like Witcher 3 I've tried to complete twice but get bored half way through second run.

How do you know that a lot of my older games have not been added to the backwards compatibility list?
How many older games do you realistically play? That's more of a PlayStation problem than an Xbox one.

What excluzives will MS have for SCOPRIO this year? What is the benefit for buying XBOX?

Considering it is not out yet and developers will be under NDA's who knows what the launch titles will be :confused:

What is the benefit for buying XBOX?

Sorry I not got a clue what you are trying to convey :confused:

Do you understand the difference between a questions and a statement?

ON PC my most recently completed game was half life II, which frankly made the newer Assassins Creed Syndicate look like the polished **** that it is.
