I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
Microsoft to buy a controlling stake in Sega, adopt Sega moniker for Xbox in Japan.

But then I'd only have 4 CPU threads instead of 8. :ohdear:

It also brings the "console" cost pretty drat close to a grand, and really after taxes you're definitely well beyond that so :retrogames:

True, but you're not going to bottleneck at the CPU. Going from the 470 to 1070 is a MASSIVE increase in performance. Dropping the i7 to an i5 at the same time makes the difference about $60 on a $1K build, but easily doubles performance. Hell, if anything, you can drop the i7 to an i5 and save $100, because the i7 vs. i5 probably makes zero difference with that build.

I am not throwing away Xbox
I am not throwing away Xbox
Hey yo, I’m just like my fanbase
I’m young, smelly and hungry
And I’m not throwing away Xbox

I’m ‘a get a partnership with your wallet
I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of money but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every nerd, I drop wattage
I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin’ to reach my goal my teraflops, uncomparable
Only sixteen but my OS is older
These Redmond streets get colder, I shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don’t have Japan to brandish
Take Sony's sales and halve it
The plan is to turn this fad into the game
But drat, it’s getting sad, so let me spell out the name
I am the Xbox S-C-O-R-P-I-O we are meant to be

A company that runs impressively
Meanwhile, Sony keeps shittin’ on us endlessly
Essentially, they beat us relentlessly
Then Nintendo turns around, and makes Switch a G
Fans ain’t ever gonna let us win for free
So there will be a revolution in this market see
Enter me, (MS says desperately)

Don’t be shocked when EGM mags mention me
I will sell at cost if it makes us Gs
Eventually, you’ll see my ascendancy

i hope they go ahead with this mockup for maximum confusion

there isn't a single potential compelling title they can pull out to increase sales at this point, what do they possibly hope to get out of the r&d costs and dwindling userbase

It's called the switch because people switched from buying playstations and xboxes to buying playstations and pro controllers for their new Nintendo.

By equating the Scorpio with hot broadway hippity hop musical Hamilton, you have ensured its viability, I hope you're happy.
