So maybe limiting launch countries is actually a REALLY smart Idea...judging by numbers, XB1 could do really well if it only focused on the US, then expanded out as it was profitable....if I were MS, I would see about trying to launch in China now that they got rid of the console ban...esp since Chinese have a really tense relationship with Japan... http://online.wsj.com/artic...
There ya go...inject some logic into this conversation. Not everything MS did was a 180...even if it was, business do that ALL THE TIME...even Sony...I know hard to believe that the "chosen company" actually makes mistakes and backtracks on things...esp with their amazing profits over the last decade for a multi-billion dollar cooperation (cough-cough...sorry I couldn't type that without laughing).
Oh no....MS is giving consumers what they are asking for...how D...
Uh, so if you don't utilize or incorporate PS materials...how exactly do you get it on the system? Assuming you can publish it without using any PS Material....do you just throw it out there and hope that it works bug free? Sony is anything but indie friendly, but it's amazing how many fanboys are fighting tooth and nail for PS...if this was MS they'd be on the other side just as aggressively....the favoritism is more ridiculous than ever.
They are charging now, without making any real changes. And all current estimates based on what we know will put them on Par or slightly behind CURRENT XBL...so yeah, it's all about making money.
This topic is getting old. If you are still living in E3 and talking about how bad PS4 crushed XB1 there...you are either not paying attention SINCE then, or you are trying to ignore it. If you are going to smash a company because of bad decisions they have made, be fair, and at least notice when they do things right as well. Saying that they suck cause they don't listen to customers and are out of touch with them....then saying that they suck because they listen to customers and chang...
Well the advantage is that it's just an all around much more powerful online service....Period...hands down..even trying to argue this point is ridiculous as it stands now. PSN's "Upgrade" puts it on par or slightly behind CURRENT XBL...the new XBL will be 20x's more powerful than that as far as dedicated servers alone (yes I know some of those servers will be used for storage, but that goes both ways...and the MS Cloud Servers compared to the Gakai ones are much much m...
By the title alone, it sounds cheesy...like an indie game.
@Godmars290 your logic is screwed....probably why you are clearly a PS fanboy, you don't pay attention to the bigger picture....or facts in general. Saying that anyone is buying an XB1 for $560 JUST to watch blake 7 (which was just announced and relatively unknown in the US) Is like saying that someone will buy a PS4 and PSN just so they can watch netflix outside the paywall. Well done.
Yeah forget all the ACTUAL value that makes XB1 worth more than that much...let'...
Nope, I actually thought it looked cool...honestly I was sick of Infinity Ward doing COD games...I wanted them to stop and leave it to Treyarch from here on out....but after seeing it today I'm actually excited for it (except that they didn't fix drop-shotting...and probably not quick-scoping either....getting rid of these two cheap tactics will go a long way...but glad to see that they are adding the Marksman Class which looks like a step towards rewarding skill).
...
Hahaha...this is the feeling I get when someone says that Last of Us is the best game ever or deserves a 10/10....it's like..."have you NEVER played another game before?"
I think it looks good....just mad they didn't get rid of drop-shotting...that's an easy fix and it destroys cheap tactics (They probably didn't fix quick-scoping either)
Wow, this is how desperate some people are? They make up fake articles about Scientists "disproving" opinions? Even if we just look at the tangible upgrades of the Kinect 2.0 over the original you can say it's "more better". I don't get this insecurity of Fanboys that hate the XB1...if I don't like something, I don't buy it...I don't typically feel that I need to be responsible for crushing it with my lame version of propaganda...that is a massive le...
As we've seen so far...the "paper spec advantage" of the PS4 isn't translating into better looking or running games...in fact when compared side by side running ON CONSOLE XB1 has been looking stronger at a better frame rate...so this isn't really a fix, nice try though. Ever notice that when "specs" are compared, it's ONLY about the few areas where PS4 has the advantage, and we conveniently forget about EVERYTHING else? That mistake was made last gen too,...
...or they changed it...not necessarily lied.
You clearly didn't read this at all...it flat out says you can disconnect it if you want...this is the kind of stuff that PS fanboys do to talk trash about XB1...they don't actually get the facts, just hear what they want then argue that...the ability to turn it off was OLD OLD news
Exactly...and the funny thing is that the argument about apps outside the live service is only good if your live service sucks...XBL doesn't suffer from this problem...so the 5 people that buy an XB1 and don't get XBL MIGHT be better off getting a PS4 where they don't have to worry about a reason to get online.
@jdktech....I'll learn to summarize when you learn to make a point. I've had a PS3 since day one as well (although two died and had to be replaced...
So, my question is, if you feel like someone or something is going in the wrong direction, and then they realize their mistake and do a 180, so that they are going in the "right" direction...why are you then mad about that too? Esp when at the exact same time, you are supporting someone or something that has ALSO gone the wrong direction, then made a change to go the right direction? If you take this stance, can you honestly believe that people won't see straight through your ...
XB1 doesn't need swapable HDDs..it supports external HDDs or you can use the unlimited Cloud storage that is free with your XBL service (if you don't play enough to get that service, you probably don't play enough to fill a 500gb HDD. So this argument doesn't really apply to XB1, it's actually pointing out a huge advantage of the XB1...sign in on any xbox with your sign in, and play any of your games with any of your saves....not sure why you'd ever need a hard drive ...
Wow PS fanboys are seriously running out of things to whine about...are we seriously down to talking about batteries? So....Paying $24.99 for a charge and play kit that works with any controller or using two AA batteries you find around your house, or just using ANY micro USB cord to have it hard wired in for best possible precision (and using NO battery) is too much....but buying a $59.99 controller every time your controller dies is a smart decision???...have fun with that....these PS fanb...
whatever, it's a 180 by today's standard....bout time the "gamer" console gets on board and follows MS innovation yet again.
