Xbox guys in here are pathetic. If they truly are listening to the fans, then explain to me why they have not done it "earlier"? instead they waited 6 months!! when coincidentally the sales are poor. Well you guys are blind sheep anyway. whatever MS says to you is the absolute truth and they are the good guys. always delivering innovation. Since bill gates paid a geek to acquire windows to make it seem its his own. High five xboners!
If you really want to lose money then go ahead, make an xbox handheld. Where smartphones and tablets are doing much better. 3DS and Vita is having a hard time, what makes the author think that a new handheld would be a good idea? they are having problems with xbone and yet some people think MS should make a handheld? Why common sense.
This is all cool and stuff but, This tech is not yet realistically applicable on the public market. So its still on its testing stages.
Xbox guys celebrate when they fail to mention or even consider that Titanfall's numbers are because its on "3 systems" the PC 360 and Xbone. when you combine those, of course you will have a high sales rate. considering there are still so many 360 owners who doesn't want to buy an xbone just to play Titanfall. Same can be said to the PC gamers. why would i buy xbone for titanfall when i can just play it on PC? so there you have it. but im surprised it even beat COD since its...
You guys do know that titanfall is on 3 systems right? 360, Xbone and PC. add all that up and unsurprisingly it is the highest selling game of the month. But if you pit titanfall Xbone only to Infamous second son. then we will see true difference. Of course MS will find anything Good to brag about even if its just a portion. Just like one time, instead of putting up numbers, they said: "300 million titans are shot and thousands of hours are put in by gamers"
LOL "All is forgiven" Xbox fans always surprise me. Inspite of all the Things MS has done since the announcement of xbone: always online 24hrs DRM, cannot sell used games, mandatory kinect, paywall xbox live, and now all is forgiven when they got rid of it. Wow. I really do agree most Xbox fans really wanted to be exploited by their company. Maybe it needs a new name: The PSBox!! has a nice ring to it!
LOLchartz right. Fanboys will ignore sites like these because it doesn't favor their preferred console. poeple like ahem *Darkfist* Ahem. Well look at the bright side, Xbone is one step closer to being a PS4, no DRM, can sell used games, Now uses Blu ray, x86 architecture and the camera is now optional. And guess what? it is also $399, the same price like the PS4, happy days indeed. Xbone will very likely surpass PS4...
Remember when 1 MS employee forgot who he is said on twitter "We'll kill sony at E3". Then the rest is history. Let's all pretend that Sony isn't improving the PS4 and only MS improves xbone by removing kinect, DX12. Oh and MS has sooo many exclusives to show at E3 which will be GOTY while Sony will not show any new exclusives since they don't have a good track record right? since 1996...
Yep let the fanboys celebrate, They need to cherish it while it lasts. I don't mean to offend xbox one owners, I am only referring to diehard blind xbone fans. Celebrate that Xbone is now almost identical to PS4. except esram and GDDR5 since both have x86 architecture, both have no DRM, can sell used games and optional camera. and both are priced 399. Wow, I didn't know MS is such a fan of Sony's
I know this is redundunt but PS3 beat xbox 360 with a 1 year headstart last gen. considering at the first 2-3 years 360 is cheaper and has slightly more games. But after that look what happened. now compare that today. What makes you think Xbone can outdo PS4? If that happened last gen how much more if they don't have a headstart, they are more expensive, but now the are the same price? Don't give me the crap that MS is now going to be the sony in the end by turning the tables.. Sorry...
DX12 and a kinectless Xbone will now be on par with PS4. Because you know DX12 will magically make the "hardware" so powerful, couple that up with the cloud and then freeing up 10% power because kinect is no longer required. SOny and PS4 is so screwed!! not to mention we have the best games!! titanfall, sunset overdrive, quantum break, dead rising 3. - Loyal Xbox fan
- TRUE STORY
Saviour of Xbox? Wow since when did 1 company especially a Billion dollar company "unconditionally follows" commands from 1 guy?? MS is a Company, a corporation!. there are boardmembers! the chairman, other branch heads, stock holders etc. Even if your the branch head, your decisions, ideas and opinions needs to be approved in what you call a "Board Meeting". Maybe it turns out that phil suggested they remove kinect optionally and via majority vote they gave the Go ahead s...
Name me one company, 1 company aside from MS who is always having Reversals, backtracks, backpedals, flip-flops, flip-switching, adjusting, removing in just 6 months time from 1 of their products? Well? Im waiting. The "All in one device". Not so much all in one now does it? when there is an optional xbone kinectless SKU. No DRM, can sell used games, and now this. promises promises. This is Obviously about sales and money. yes all company needs money. But MS seeing how they are stil...
Yeah Keep making yourselves feel better @BrobaFett and incendy35. Who wants to play FPS with them pretending to hold a gun? Kinect is not good for Hardcore games. but very good for casual and sports games. they even implemented it in skyrim. Last time i checked only a handful of people use that feature, mostly even never mention about it. You xbox guys never run out of excuses. Seriously. No wonder Sony fanboys can't get enough of you. and even a handful of PC only gamers. Shortsighted? W...
You guys don't get it. Even if your CEO or branch head. The "decision" is not yours alone. Thats why there are "Board meetings". executives, the board chairman, branch heads all talk and vote on whats the best course of action. this time majority agreed to drop of kinect. just like DRM and used game sales. MS execs, I appluad them for having a good vision and abandon it all at the end. Backpedals, reversals and 180 degree turns. These guys must really be good in demoli...
How can Xbone overtake PS4 if:
1. They are both priced the same, $399
2. Xbone is weaker than PS4
3. There's not much exclusives to come by on xbone and sony has announced exclusives coming this year
4. Most multiplats run better on PS4
5. PS4 already had a huge headstart on sales especially in U.S.
6. Playstation is a more "Globally known brand". even in U.S. its more popular. disagree? See PSone and PS2.
MS Xbone definition - "Flip-flopping, Flip-switching, Backtracking, Backpedaling, Reversing, Removing, Adjusting".
What non gaming functionality is that? without the kicnect of course. come on tell me. Share vids? PS4 got that. Netflix and other movies, sports media? PS4/PS3 also has that. Cloud save? PS4 has that also. I guess you should just change your name from "Illusive man" to "Delusive man". nice try on defending but ahm still shallow. keep it up!
No matter how bad a news is, it is always good news for hardcore xbone people. it's good news for people who don't want an xbone with kinect, and also good for MS since they can now lower the price. But what about the philosophy of designing games based on kinect? Kinect is the only distinguishing feature left and they also took it away. MS had a vision. How many times did they do a "180"? MS is like a woman who has a higher tendency for always changing her mind. sometimes s...
As much as i want a new fallout, I also want a new TES VI game sooner and not wait for several years since bethesda spaces their games release. Oblivion was in 2006 and skyrim 2011. it took 5 years. I love skyrim but in my opinion guys, I just don't feel the whole "Nordic/Viking/barbarian setting". i like the snow forests, tundras, the landscapes. but compare the nine holds of skyrim to oblivions cities like anvil, bravil kvatch, it felt more epic and makes you feel like you wan...
