They didn't say "exclusive to Xbox and Windows 10" just "coming to Xbox and Windows 10".

I'm not 100% but that probably distingushes the Windows 10 Store. But DR3 came to Steam, and is playable on Win7 etc.

You may be right there.

Doubt they'd nerf the Xbox S chances like that. We'll see!

 

Also doubt the 6 TFLOPS deal would be ready this year.

Nope, didn't show you what it looks like.

Because it won't even be built yet. Hardware is in preliminary stages.

 

If they could show you what it was like it wouldn't be 1.5 years away.

That was never going to happen though.

 

Looks like we're all right though, the future of consoles is incremental hardware updates without sacrificing backwards compatibility.

Decent conference, but damn that leak list hurt it.

 

Scorpio announcement while good to clear up rumours is very early and hard to get all that excited about. It's a while off. IMO no point in buying an Xbox S, original One owners should just hold off till next years E3 and hope for full specs and prices of Scorpio.

 

Seems like a tactical announcement to try and dampen the Neo release this year (as specs will be lower).

 

Crackdown being MIA was strange.

Better start saving...

There's enough time, and they only said 2017, not holiday 2017, it could be next Spring, or in the summer, like July.    At least they're going to give developers time to play with it.

That's my plan really. All depends on the details and release but i'd hate to grab an XB1S (lol) now just to have to replace it in a couple of years.

Yeah not sure why anyone would buy the S unless they discontinued the original.

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
