Seriously they need to slow down and let May happen already. Pretty premature to just head to June with the rest of May to go.
Why should we have waited when MS told everyone and you can find it just about anywhere on the net that they WOULD NOT sell the Xbox One without the Kinect EVER. So your argument is flawed because MS told everyone that a Kinectless SKU would NEVER happen so what reasoning did we have to wait? Answer is NONE.
Sony took a 200-250 dollar loss on every PS3 sold BECAUSE it was a better value proposition with what was at the time the cheapest blu ray player on the market. You can't compare it to the Xbox One and the Kinect situation it's apples to oranges. The PS3 was worth more than people bought it for even at that high of a price so it was justified because you didn't just get a gaming system but a full on media player with blu ray as well.
Lets see why should they? Hmm well because this train wreck of a console we were told Kinect was INTEGERAL to the system that Kinect WAS XBOX ONE and without it it's half the experience. They lied to how many people that bought into it? Something like 4.1 to 4.5 million people? Granted yes some people wanted it and use it but not everyone and I think since you can't even trade the damn thing in anywhere that they at the very least should offer to buy the Kinect back from the customers...
War Thunder is another game that we we're led to believe would be a launch title and the same with Planetside so it was disappointing not having both there at launch so they need to get these both out sooner rather than later. I do realize I can play War Thunder on a Euro account but there's no way to buy any upgrades the way things are now and it's always best to play with your own countries player pool.
MS has successfully tricked consumers including you that they have the ONLY infrastructure with the cloud and the benefits those servers provide. Sony had dedicated servers for games last gen and they have some for this gen as well. MS isn't the only one with dedicated servers despite what you may have been told. Sony has used Rackspace for server solutions in the past and they're using them now so the server solution even if it's not on MS's Azure will be the same on Sony'...
I have to believe EA protected themselves with a sales clause in the contract. Titanfall has not sold like EA and MS though it would and as a result here we are. The only reason EA even made the deal was because they thought after last gen that MS would be the market leader so the exclusivity contract seemed like a slam dunk but things haven't unfolded that way and the sales gap is only widening from here on out so it's in EA's best interest to get the game on as many consoles as ...
Like every contract I'm quite sure there's clauses within the contract most likely sales related saying that for the contract to be valid Titanfall had to sell X amount of copies and it has NOT done what EA and MS expected it to do to date it's not even sold 2 million copies and that's money down the drain for EA and MS. If EA knew then at they know now I guarantee you they never would've allowed it to be exclusive and cutting out the PS3 and PS4 they are undoubtedly losin...
MS doesn't have a lot of first party studios so id be cautious about getting too excited about their E3 news. I'm not trying to put a damper on things but they simply don't have many first party studios to provide them with games. On top of that they are painfully absent from the free to play games and on the indie front where Sony is dominating them. And their xbox live policies hurt them in this regard because you can't play free to play games like Warframe and War Thunder a...
It's still early into this generation and some hiccups should be expected and accepted. Sony will get it right but being upset about it is understandable. For the inconvenience Sony should offer affected customers a 5.00 or 10.00 PSN store credit as an olive branch to people who didn't get what they paid for when they staid it would be available.
Xbox one sales are front loaded if you take out the first 3 months of sales then no the Xbox isn't "doing fine" it's to the point they have warehouses full of X1's and have stopped production for the time being because it's not selling well. This isn't my opinion it's a fact here's what I'm talking about so NO the X1 isn't doing too hot right now that's a fact educate yourself.

No he got it right...
MS is M$ they've got that stigma about them because instead of actually making their own games and contributing to the hobby they buy 3rd party games call them exclusive and play keep away with other gamer's who don't own their platform. Good or bad that's the rep they have and it's deserved. I'm not hating I'm just getting the record straight. If MS contributed more in the way of self funded first party games instead of relying on 3rd...
Why do PS gamers dislike games with no single player? Because out of the big 3 PS games are the most diverse across so many different genre's and IF we wanted to pay full price for half a game obviously we'd all have Titanfall. It goes beyond being a lesser value for "always online" and "online only" games. PS gamers are all about the variety of the PS library and traditionally Sony ' s first party studios have built extraordinary single player experiences and ...
No I wasn't rude it's pretty simple if you can't use a keyboard correctly don't try to post and expect to make any actual point people can understand it totally defeats the purpose.
You are like everyone else who brings this up. MS launching in Sonys markets will NOT impact Xbox one sales. You think that MS is losing the battle because they're not in as many markets? That's not as simplistic as you want to believe if MS thought those markets would sell they'd already be in those markets. MS has millions of Xbox ones they can't sell sitting in warehouses think about it honestly give it some thought IF they could get rid of them in other markets they would&...
English have you heard of it?
I'm quite sure they'll have a demo or something of the like running on a high end PC that's pushing more than the Xbone will tricking people into believing what they're seeing is what the end product will look like. Seriously though MS did this last year the stuff at E3 wasn't running on xbox one hardware it was all running on high end PC's it's the equivalent of false advertising showing you something on a PC that'll never look like the xbone version. Before y...
It was never officially dated to begin with so this isn't surprising news. It'll come when it comes why rush it out? Now people will talk and troll that MS has been on the ball with their updates but that's because the xbone launched with a bare bones OS and it wasn't close to perfect they had to fix things they launched with as well as add stuff they couldn't put in there in time for their launch so all things being equal Sony and MS are about equal in terms of updates an...
It makes sense that the PS4 will get better as will the xbox one. There's not a scenario possible where one gets better while the other doesn't. This is great news for PS4 owners.
Anything can be defended but in truth the drug isn't designed from a corporation with only profits in mind. Many people try to demonize and criminalize marijuana but it's all bullshit it's been proven to be bullshit and until it's legal and taxable from the biggest drug dealer in the world our US government it'll continue being a bullshit excuse to put people in jail instead of rehab. Jail brings in money rehab costs money it's not hard to see why the government choose...
