This could work.
Two platforms being reached, this is where exclusive come in to play.

Don't take me wrong, I like the idea of having both on one platform. I should have quoted the guy above me for it to make more senseOriginally Posted by ogbuzz

I think it'd be awesome. Would save me the trouble of buying an XBOX again.
well lets just wait n see
as the article states, its just a rumour, i also do kinda wonder HOW a game would be able to run off an XBOX and a PC
there is also questions such as if you buy it can it be used on ypur PC and XBOX, it terms of this if it can be "negotiated" correctly, we could see something like this coming out
it holds interest no doubt, often concepts that challenge the norm are frowned upon but i would write it off just yet...
"Oh jirre Bakgat nou wat?"
I highly doubt it.
It makes sense in so many ways. More games would be sold. It gives a good reason to upgrade to Windows 8 and so forth. However...
Technically it may be feasible but it would still be quite an adaptation. I also wonder what kind of agreements Microsoft have with the publishers. Did they legally allow themselves to do this? I don't know.
It all makes so much sense and sounds so probable that surely Microsoft will not do it.
Good point that! Made me chuckle. I do agree though, publishers might have problems with this approach. Buy once, play on 2 is probably not what they would want.I highly doubt it.

The concept behind this is pretty cool. Would like to see how this pans out.
That's what she said.

Plausible? Probably not...how would they do that exactly? Would they design and Xbox exclusive emulator for PC...How would the controllers be coded so that it can support both keyboard and gamepad. Plus most Xbox games are coded with the specific hardware in mind...performance would probably be quite a large issue.
Profitable? I can't see many Xbox gamers wanting to play xbox games on a PC. Are there really that many xbox exclusive games that PC gamers would want? Most of the big titles these days are made for more than one platform so I don't see why they would want to go to all the effort.
An amalgamated system encompassing xbox and PC would probably be great for gamers but is just unlikely tbh!
I duno...maybe I'm just missing the point.
Core2Duo E8400 3Ghz, ASUS P5Q/SE MOBO, 3Gigs or RAM (800Mhz), Asus ATI RADEON 4850 512MB, 2X 500GB HDDs, Windows 7 Ultimate
I can't see this happening... it removes the exclusivity of the XBox and it's games...
I mean, if you can play your XBox game on your PC, I will probably be able to play a copied version of your XBox game on my PC
I think its just a rumour because they would need one heck of an emulator that would have to account for everyone's differant PC specs. But if it pans out, maybe there would be so much hate from PC gamers - "consoles holding us back" attitude :P
This would be awesome. Having PC's that can play Xbox games would revive PC gaming and bring a wider variety of games to PC's.
