This truly has to be the most useless post in a thread I've ever seen.

Like, you literally saw the thread...

Knowing you're not going to care about games, allegedly

Then read OP's whole post...

Knowing you're not going to care about games, allegedly

Then thought about your actual plans...

Knowing you're not going to care about games, allegedly

And then decided to tell us that you're not going to care about electronics or games because of the exciting events in your life...

Breh...

:picard: Wow.
im taking advantage of this six flags season pass. finna hit up magic mountain in cali in august and great america in chicago. then spend 2 days at cedar point.

i also will be going on off shore excursions in mexico, caymans and jamaica. zip lining, cave diving, jet skiing and horse back riding all throughout the caribbean.

im making a point to stop throwing money on the latest shyt that u dont need. treat yourself to something more. create new experiences and everlasting memories.

Emulation will take the next step as the PS1/PS2 Dream cast will finally run smoothly on the next console to be soft modded , Xbox one.

Going to finally around to building/buying a gaming pc.

As of right now there's only 3 games in 2017 that I want.

Outside of that my money is going towards home improvement and traveling.

Well the specs will no doubt be better than the Pro how it's implemented will tell if it's better.
It's still going to be a current generation Xbox with better graphics and the same flaws the Xbox One has. Weak first party support with sparse games and an overall install base that's probably a total of 50% behind what Sony has so the PS4 family is still gonna get developer and publisher preferred treatment. If you give an Xbox One more power it's still not a better system overall than a PS4 because the reason the PS4 is better than the XBO isn't just power.

I've come to this conclusion as well. I have 6 sets of Bluetooth headphones and 3 of normal headphones. I'm just mindlessly buying consumer goods and after a week I don't even care about most of the stuff I've bought anymore. I bought an Xbox One back in August and it's still sitting in my place unopened in January. I have 4 TVs in a 1 bedroom.

Most of this crap is a waste of money. I could be doing better stuff with money than this. This isn't even getting to the hundreds of unopened games I have sitting around in my collection or the Steam games I buy knowing I'll likely never play them.

I'm preparing to clamp down and enact something I dread. A budget.

But none of what you say pertains to the future that M$ wants for Xbox. Things like install base don't matter if Xbox is just a gaming service to pull from their dedicated hardware and Windows users. First party support under the UWP platform might be easier due to the tools of scaling between the console and Windows. Plus games like Fallout 4 VR are only rumored for the Scorpio based on PSVR not being strong enough. They got something called Project Helix where they want titles developed on PC to work on Xbox. So in theory if titles like Nier and Shenmue are on PC their would be a simple development process to port it to the console.

Console generations are over. Y'all gotta stop thinking in that way. Everything is about the content and how best to get it out. Sony sees it the same way with their Now service. Scorpio is MS continuing their convergence of platforms as a service company.

The deal is can they execute? We saw them half ass this same strategy with their phones and failed to court app markers. Also the Windows Store has been rocky for games even though titles like Call of Duty are cross over. Plus Steam is king on PC and MS isn't just gonna bully their way through them at all. But if they can pull everything together though in an easy and attractive way I'd think they'd continue on their recent upswing.
