Title: Microsoft is now thought to have a Stadia Founder's Edition-killer in the works
Post by: Redaktion on July 08, 2019, 23:35:53
A tech blogger has posted a new video citing rumors that Microsoft is working on hardware for its xCloud platform. This console would apparently work with existing Xbox controllers, but also act as a competitor for Google's own starter pack for Stadia. As this putative box could cost as little as US$60, it would also undercut the "Founder's Edition".

Man, I really cannot.stand such articles!

So, we don't know too much about Stadia, no one has tried to commercial product yet. We know next to nothi g about Microsoft's rival product.
But suddenly, it is a "Stadia killer".
Plus, how come any alternative to a product or a service has to be "killing" that product or service in the Anglo-Saxon journalism? Has Samsung s10 killed iPhone? Or vice versa?
