Ngenkathi iMicrosoft isanda kwethula okuvelayo ukuba yimishini emibili ephumelele kahle ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, iqiniso liwukuthi inkampani kancane kancane ihamba ngendlela ehluke kakhulu kunabanye abanikazi bezingxenyekazi ezimbili. Yize kungekho okukhombisa ukuthi bazoyeka ukuthengisa izingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha noma nini maduze, bahlanganyele kakhulu kusoftware yabo kanye nebhizinisi lokusakaza ngezinsizakalo ezifana ne-Xbox Game Pass kanye ne-Xbox Cloud Streaming (noma i-xCloud njengoba abanye besabhekisela kuyo ngokuthi). Endabeni yakamuva, kubonakala sengathi iMicrosoft iyaqhubeka nokuba nezinhlelo ezinde kakhulu zokufinyelela.
Enkulumweni ne I-Verge, USpencer wabuzwa mayelana nokuthi lokhu kugxilwa kokusakaza okusha kubhekephi futhi wanikezwa umbuzo wokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi singabona uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Xbox kuma-Smart TVs. Uthe akagcinanga ngokubona lokho, wakubona kwenzeka ungakapheli unyaka. Ubuye wachaza ukuthi ekugcineni umqondo wethelevishini kanye ne-hardware ezinikele wawusezinhlelweni zokushintsha, okungenani endleleni ezibhekwa ngayo.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi uzobona lokho ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezizayo. Angicabangi ukuthi kukhona okuzosivimba ekwenzeni lokho. Bengicabanga ukuthi okushoyo nge-TV kuyabonakala. Esasikubiza nge-TV iCRT evele ijikijele isithombe ngemuva kwengilazi engiyibhekile. Manje, njengoba ushilo, i-TV empeleni iyikhonsoli yegeyimu egxishwe ngemuva kwesikrini esinenkundla yohlelo lokusebenza nesitaki se-Bluetooth nekhono lokusakaza. Ingabe isiyi-TV ngempela noma iwuhlelo nje nomsebenzi wamadivayisi ebesinawo kumabonakude wethu, ahlanganiswe esikrinini esisodwa esikhulu engisibhekile?
“Ngicabanga ukuthi uzobona izinguquko zehardware. Eqinisweni, ngisho naku-console, siyakubona lokhu. Enye yezinto eziyinhloko abantu abazenzayo kuma-game consoles ukubuka ividiyo; babuka i-Netflix ne-Disney Plus kanye ne-Hulu nakho konke okunye. Okushiwo ukuthi empeleni kufanele sakhe inkundla yohlelo lokusebenza ngaphakathi kwekhonsoli yegeyimu ukuze laba bahlinzeki bakwazi ukuyokwakha uhlelo lwabo lokusebenza lweSpotify kanye nezinto ezahlukahlukene ezisebenzayo. Kunamahora wangempela namahora okusetshenziswa kulezi zinto, okuthi - i-N64 yami ayizange ikwenze lokho. I-Xbox yokuqala ayizange ikwenze lokho.”
Lokhu kuhambisana nezitatimende zangaphambilini ze I-Xbox Cloud Gaming iza kuma-consoles nama-PC kanye ne induku yokusakaza engaba khona yohlobo oluthile. Kubonakala sengathi umbono weMicrosoft wenkonzo yabo yokusakaza muhle, kodwa kuzomele silinde sibone ukuthi singakwazi ngempela yini ukusakaza i-Xbox kuma-TV ethu ngalesi sikhathi ngonyaka ozayo.
