I agree about this being good for cross platform windows compatibility and futute backwards compatibility. There are some people taking this news and the no mantle compatibility as a confirmation that there is NO low level access to the gpu of the xbox one. Ive even seen statements saying that the xbox one will be the first console without a low level api.
People dont understand for some reason that the xbox one has its own unique version of direct x just like the original xbox and the xbox360 which does allow some low level access.
I know that it doesnt allow as much access to the metal as what sony's api but people take this like the xbox one is running straight up windows8 and directx 11.2 just like a home pc.
I'd still like to wait and see until it's all officially confirmed. If it were 100%, then you'd think they would have notified all developers about that by now given that the console is so close to release. I don't doubt that it eventually will be, but I'm not sure about Microsoft's timeline. One thing which keeps me unsure is Windows Phone. You'd think they would have unified that by now given the army of coders they have, yet they are still looking at 2 years from now to unify the Windows Phone and RT app stores. That's absolute madness to me, they needed to have that done yesterday but apparently somehow they feel there is no competitive pressure out there. That ultimately makes me unsure of their timeline for XB1 running Windows 8 apps. You'd think they would support that from day 1, but seeing how they run Windows Phone really makes me unsure of how they will execute on XB1.
Xbox One , Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8 could have games made using SharpDX that work on all 3 platforms like XNA worked with Xbox 360 & Windows Phones.

or there might be a new MS cross platform API.
It's not as simple as that. Windows phone, Xbox One, and Windows RT share the same kernel, but the OS Services are not the same across all three. At the least, if your app is C++ or another compiled language, you will need to recompile. In all cases, you will probably need to tune assets and interface options.
I would like to see them unifying the app stores too, but I'm guessing you'll get, at best, a subset of the full win8 store, and more likely a walled off section with bespoke apps.
But wouldn't that suggest that all of the apps made for it will work on the Xbox One?
I know you weren't. I'm saying you should have been.When you said, "I dont see the EG article as one of those other emotional media articles," that view doesn't seem valid when it has such strong emotional content. If you accept there is strong emotional content, then you must accept that your original premise which started me yabbering was incorrect.
I said what I said because the points made were valid and explained regardless of any emotional content.

You might want to add that to the rules, technically posters at other forums are sources and the rules say:

So which sources are banned, Gaf specifically?

It's a rumor so far, but it seems believable tbh. Everyone knows IW aren't exactly the tops in technically proficient studios out there. If a proficient dev like Dice can only manage to do 900p or less for BF4, I don't think it's very out there to imagine Ghosts being 720p either, especially given the other rumors flying around about their development being racked with trouble for the Xbone version.
