Submission + - Microsoft to unify PC and Xbox One Platforms
Serzen writes: According to The Guardian, Microsoft is planning to end fixed console hardware for the Xbox as a move towards Unified Windows Applications. From the article:
Microsoft is planning to unify its PC and Xbox One gaming platforms into one ecosystem running Universal Windows Applications (UWAs), the head of the company’s Xbox division Phil Spencer has announced. It also looks likely that the Xbox One will become more PC-like with backwards compatible hardware upgrades in the future.
...
What this could mean is that the Xbox One becomes more like a PC, with Microsoft releasing updated versions at regular intervals with more powerful processors and graphics hardware. In theory, because games will be written as UWAs, older titles will remain compatible with the new machines.
