I know it will be a wait and see... and likely depends on feature similarities/differences... I'm just curious what the future holds.

Example: People using spoons, something you eat with as a percussion instrument.
I have used a half empty box of grits with mic taped to it for creating 'shaker' samples.
It works GREAT.
Grits, eat em? Nah, SHAKE EM.

Same Just Blaze that blasted akai over the mpc 5000. Same one that wasn't a big fan of the renaissance. Same one that enjoys the new standalone MPCs and now the force. I know he didn't get paid by akai to say the stuff he said on that video it's how he Really feels.
I do not trust anyone opinion, who received an advance machine. All videos coming out are marketing and they are under an embargo. I also don't trust any video from retail companies, who sell the device. Or so called music press, that have affiliate links to buy the machine. Or a company demo personnel, who does a so called review, on their YouTube channel.
They all are just simplified or glorified commercials, don't fall for any of it. Stop drinking the poison water. Call your local music shop and request a in store demo. Ask the company for a full white list of the specs. Get a copy of the full manual and read it. It's too easy for anyone to come here and pretend to be end user.

Yep, definitely not getting one pre order, or until an upgrade to the OS happens for that matter.
What we've been told via Dan at Gearslutz:
-Same internals as an MPC Live/X
-Initially no computer connection, in the future extended ability to act as a control surface for Ableton Live, and ability to interact with the MPC3 software upon release, though that won't be it's "focus".
-Ability as of now to read Programs from the MPC files on a thumb disk or drive, but not Sequences.
-Ability to export templates to Ableton Live on the computer.
So to me anyway, so far this doesn't fit any gap in my current set up. I own Live Suite and Push 2, and the MPC Live. I would imagine in the future they will allow it to be a sound card for Ableton Live when in controller mode, but to me it seems like they're done with the software for the most part for the Force, but not done enough to release MPC 3.0, so the Force gets no interface with the computer at all really, until v3 is done.
