لا مصب اين ديجيتال فاندري هم بد فعال شده ها هر وقت سر ميزني يه مقاله جنجالي منتشر كرده:d
ريچارد كه معرف حضور هست يه مقاله مفصل نوشته در مورد اينكه چقدر احتمال عرضه ي مدل ارزونتر ايكس باكس وجود داره و اينكه مايكرو اگه بخواد ارزون كنه چه گزينه هايي براش وجود داره
It's panic stations at Microsoft, apparently. PlayStation 4 is wiping the floor with Xbox One, the new console is a sales disappointment, and the word on the internet street is that Microsoft will introduce
a new, cheaper console this year and discount the existing model. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg
tweeted over the weekend to pour cold water on the latter rumour, but the suggestion that a new, cut-price Xbox One is already in Microsoft's plans is unlikely to go away, while
Sony is able to boast of a 1.5:1 sales ratio in the UK and global statistics also favour the PS4 so strongly.
اين دقيقا پاراگراف اوله از همينجا زده تو كار جنجال:d
ادعا كرده كه فروش تخيلي PS4 باعث شده مايكروسافت وارد مرحله وحشت بشه
Another thing to bear in mind is that business plans are laid out over years and these new consoles are just over two months old. Any reaction at this point would be kneejerk in the extreme, especially when Microsoft's key card has yet to be played: Respawn's Titanfall, which comes out next month. It's not quite a console exclusive (it's coming out on PC and Xbox 360 too) but it's still a potentially big deal for Microsoft, and perhaps the next big must-play multiplayer game. Just how good it actually is remains to be seen, although the public beta this month should give us some idea.
البته هنوز براي مايكرو يه برگ برنده باقي مونده اون هم Titan Fall هست كه البته روي پي سي و 360 هم داره مياد ولي به هر حال ميتونه تاثير زيادي رو فروش بزاره البته بايد منتظر بود و ديد كه آيا اونقدر كه مايكرو اميدواره موفق هست يا نه
As we noted in
our initial hardware test, the Xbox One does not come across as a finely honed, quality piece of hardware. The design itself is simple and easy to mass-produce, the plastics are cheap (the shiny sections on the casing of our unit are already mysteriously scratched) and, motherboard apart, the basic construction of the console is considerably less complex than PS4. So what parts of the console can be swapped out for cheaper components? And what could change in 12 months in terms of the cost base that would make a saving that counts for something in the minds of potential customers? After all, in the run-up to full production for the launch, we can safely assume that Microsoft pursued all avenues in making the production of the console as cost-effective as possible.
حالا به اين موضوع ميپردازه كه آيا اصلا امكان داره كه قيمت پايين بياد يا نه؟
اولا كه طبق بررسي هايي كه روي وان انجام دادن خيلي اونو ماشين با كيفيتي نميدونن يه دستگاه خيلي سادست كه توليد انبوهش هم خيلي راحته. ميگه قطعات پلاستيكي بكار رفته درش بسيار ارزون قيمت و بيكيفيته اشاره ميكنه كه مال ما هنوز هيچي نشده پر خط و خراش شده. مادر برد و اعضاي داخليش هم اصلا به پيچيدگي PS4 نيست. آيا واقعا امكان داره كه بشه از كيفيت بيشتر از اين كم كرد تا قيمت كاهش پيدا كنه؟
Let's look at some of the mooted options. Firstly, the Blu-ray drive. This simply can't be removed for a number of reasons - it won't take a genius to point out that a disc-less SKU will end up being more expensive for the consumer in the long run based on digital prices, while broadband infrastructure isn't really there to support continual 30GB downloads for everyone just yet. The reasons why both Microsoft and Sony integrated optical drives in the first place have not changed in the last two months, and that's before you consider that removing the unit would not make the price that much more attractive anyway.
اولين راه حل حذف بلو ري هست كه اصلا طرح خوبي به نظر نميرسه اولا خريد ديجيتالي به دلايلي گرون تموم ميشه و به صرفه نيست. دوما هارد 500 گيگي خيلي زود پر ميشه چون هر بازي حدود 30 گيگ خواهد بود و مشكلات اينترنتي و غيره رو هم اضافه كنيد بيخود نبوده كه سوني و مايكرو هر دو تصميم گرفتن كه درايو اپتيكال رو حذف نكنن. پس اين گزينه حذفه
A key cost - the 28nm APU processor - will get progressively cheaper, but not to any degree that isn't already factored into Microsoft's spreadsheets. Significant costs savings on the central chip won't kick in until the system is moved onto a smaller fabrication node, and based on what happened on last-gen console, that will take years to kick in. Cost savings elsewhere - on the controller, or headset - would impact essential functionality and compromise an interface that Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in developing. And again, we can't see any kind of substantial cost saving there.
سناريو دوم هم ارزونتر شدن APU ي كنسوله اونم با آهنگ پيشرفت تكنولوژي اونقدر سريع پيش نميره كه كه بزودي بشه به صورت قابل توجهي قيمت رو كاهش داد. اين حذفه
The elephant in the room is Kinect, the advanced motion sensor that adds a great deal of cost to the bill of materials. Unloved by gamers, and apparently shunned equally by developers based on the lack of software that supports it, its mandatory inclusion in the box looks for all the world like an albatross around Microsoft's neck, especially when the machine works just fine with the peripheral disconnected.
اما ميرسيم به غول آخر كه همون كينيكت باشه. ميگه اينجور كه از شواهد برمياد گيمرها از كينكت خوششون نمياد با توجه به پشتيباني نرم افزاري صورت گرفته هم ميشه نتيجه گرفت بازي سازها هم رهاش كردن و بهش اهميت نميدن. انگار كينكت شده بختك و افتاده گردن مايكرو داره خفش ميكنه. جالبتر اينكه وان بدون كينكت هم راحت كار ميكنه.
The question we need to ask here is why Kinect is in the box in the first place. Microsoft has not exactly been secretive about this - it sees Xbox One's place in the living room as its best bet in making the machine a success with a mainstream audience across the machine's lifespan. Leaving Kinect out of the box could well boost sales in the here and now, but if the camera is seen as key to appealing to a demographic outside of the core, removing it now would be a U-turn with incalculable consequences in the medium to longer term. Indeed, with the market fragmentation that would result, Kinect would effectively die in short order. That might raise some cheers from its hardcore detractors, but it's just not the way Microsoft sees the audience for the machine developing across the cycle.
پس چرا مايكرو دست از سركچل كينكت برنميداره؟
جواب مشخصه چون هزينه ي هنگفتي براش كرده كه بوسيله اون بتونه ايكس باكس رو بزاره تو اتاق نشيمن خونه ها و مركز ثقل اينترتينمنت خونه ها بشه حذف كينكت يعني قبول شكست اين طرح و صد البته ضرر هنگفت براي مايكرو.
So what are the viable options for Microsoft if the business situation isn't looking good? If Xbox One's performance doesn't live up to expectations - if it is indeed panic stations in Redmond - then the most practical and logical course of action would be to suck up a price cut before considering anything else. Other than that, the only option would be to remove Kinect, removing much of what makes the console unique and leaving a 'me too' product differentiated only by console exclusives, and one that faces continued
unflattering comparisons on multi-format titles. The company is likely to view this as completely unpalatable.
البته با شرايط پيش اومده و اينكه بازيها دارن بصورت معنا داري رو PS4 بهتر اجرا ميشن واقعا كاهش قيمت لازم بنظر ميرسه. اماحذف كينكت يه ضرر بزرگ ديگه هم داره و اونم اينه كه ويژگي منحصر بفرد وان رو ازش ميگيره در واقع اگر كينكت حذف بشه وان ميشه همون PS4 با قدرت كمتر.
Alternatively, Microsoft can pull out its collective finger and actually make Kinect - and by extension, the machine's
media integration credentials - something the market actually wants. That's quite a task, but significantly simpler than producing a brand new Xbox One when it will be years before doing so is financially worthwhile to Microsoft.
راه ديگه شايد توليد يه كنسول جديد باشه كه مسلما حذف كينكت خيلي بي دردسرتر و ارزونتره
Overall, then, our suspicion is that all we'll see this year is a price cut, if even that. Viewed through the prism of the core console gamer and the specialist press, the battle between Microsoft and Sony is painted all too easily as an all-or-nothing affair where desperate measures are required to get Xbox One back in the game. But the reality is that there will almost certainly not be a radically revised Xbox One released this year, simply because the production options aren't there, and try as we might, we can't see a reasonable business case where new hardware addresses the challenges Microsoft faces either.
در /آخر مايكرو مجبوره با اين چالش مواجه بشه بايد تصميم بگيره. وان مسلما به كاهش قيمت نياز داره در عين حال از نظر تئوري امكان كاهش قيمت هم نيست مگر اينكه مايكرو هم بخواد وان رو مثل PS3 تو نسل قبل با ضرر بفروشه. البته مسلما مايكرو فعلا تا بعد از عرضه TF صبر ميكنه تا ببينه شرايط به چه گونه رقم ميخوره
