Well I see a momentum for the xbox one, this fight is not over.

Well I see a momentum for the xbox one, this fight is not over.

I think so, my hunch is that the Xbox One is going to enjoy a solid second place if Nintendo does nothing other than release their exclusive games, which keeps them going, but sometimes you need to open up the possibilities. A draw in the generation like in the previous one is something I don't fathom now.

I quite enjoy listening to those podcasts. Also my platonic love of my friends' list is there,

I have her in my friends list -just like Major Nelson- but she never notices me, because I am just a follower to her.

She also usually appears in Major Nelson radio and Google+ hangouts. :smile2:

l0llipop, if you ever see Ruin of Palmira online as a follower that's just me!!

I had like 20 something friends on X360, but on Xbox One I have more than 2 hundred, 'cos now I enjoy that a lot and you don't have to play with them to enjoy having so much, because they send you gifts on Diablo 3, you can confront their ghosts on Powerstar Golf, and many cool things like that, etc etc).

Plus you can just have your classic friends on favourites and stuff like that, it's really nice now. Even if we don't play online that much -you never know-, if ever, and you want to add me tkf I'd add you back. Addition is seamless and I don't pester friends at all -barely play online-. cheers!

I hear some people says that the XO has a FPGA chip !!!

Xbox one second chip:

An altera cyclone FPGA chip:

Is it possible the second chip on XO is the FPGA?

 

[AlNom]

That's the south bridge.

 

[Starx]

That's the south bridge.

Yes for sure , but i want to know is it possible there is a chip on XO board that play role of south bridge and second SoC at the same time?

For example a chip like this:

Stratix 10 FPGAs and SoC family is ideal to meet your high-performance, high-bandwidth, and low power requirements in the communication infrastructure, cloud computing and data centers, high-performance computing, military, broadcast, test and measurement, and other applications - See more at: http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/stratix-fpgas/stratix10/stx10-index.jsp#sthash.gnc6bbxd.dpuf

Sorry if my question is very odd!! , I am not a expert or a tech guy.

 

[3dilettante]

Chip packages like that are extremely generic, so having the same external shape doesn't indicate much at all about what the actual chips are. It's sort of like saying two medications are the same because both are inside similar gelatin capsules.

The actual connections to and from the southbridge tend to be more modest, since its needs are not that significant. As a result, high-performance anything tends to be very unlikely since it couldn't communicate those results quickly enough to make a difference.

Looks like the Xbox One Upload service is expanding to the web & Xbox 360...

Guess I'll check out the 360 app.

You know how it is, you find one sock and then you expect there to be another and so you spend ages looking for the matching sock and start to see it everywhere.

But eventually, you have to just let it go and accept that there's only one sock.

Maybe the hardware engineers might learn something from all of these rumours for the next round of consoles; start hiding chips on the motherboard. It seems to be more fun that way.

I swear some people are confusing the Xbox One for an Escher drawing.

You obviously mean SoC.

LOL @ sock vs SoC!

Microsoft is now letting people outside the company try out its long-in-development "enhanced reality" technology. Grand Theft Auto parent publisher Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said today on Bloomberg TV that he was invited to Microsoft's headquarters to try it out. It is unclear, however, if Zelnick got to see the RoomAlive demo or Microsoft's other secret VR project.

Whatever the case, Zelnick said he was excited with what he saw.

"The demo that I had was at Microsoft's headquarters in a room given over to this [technology], and you had an immersive headset on, and there are characters that appear to be real, and you'e interacting with the characters and they're not real, and it's pretty extraordinary," he said.

Though he was floored by the demo, Zelnick said he's not sure yet about its commercial appeal.

A room + An headset = Forzatella glasses experience.
