The 360/ps3 and PC all survived piracy and so will the Xbone just like the music industry and Hollywood.
But the thing is that people smart enough to hack the NAND are not dumb enough to go on xbox live. Hacking the NAND is not purely for piracy but many will use it for such.
They know vanilla console for Xblive and offline (well off xblive) console for homebrew.
By using some of the same tools as used on the 360 motherboard.
By having access the the 360's nand and hacking/modding it this was acheived.

It does not mean the Xbone is hacked but is just 1 step closer to it.
The PS4 will have some top class AAA exclusives just like the PS3 with Naughty Dog/ Santa monica/ team Ico/ media molecule / geurilla etc.
Yep it's a PC for people that are intimidated by having to upgrade hardware/software though that's part of the fun of being a PC gamer I think.
Ive got a i7-4770k/gtx670 4gb/ 16gb ram so not far off a steam box specs and it wasway cheaper than what I imagine a steam box to be.
That was a problem with the shoddy net code and not the game per say, the gears trilogy was great and I had a lot of fun online despite it's flaws/bugs there is still nothing like it (closest would be TLOU Mp).
Epic won't want to stay on one platform, MS would have to trow a tonne of $ at them for gears exclusivity.
I hope it goes multiplatform and is a proper sequel/prequel unlike the half arsed judgement.
UC4 MY GOTY probably. Bring it dogs!
Yes but is limited to 30fps in 3D.
Both consoles have had their test and that was Battlefield 4, these are x86/64bit machines there won't be that much extra untapped potential coming in the future.
Both consoles will have great exclusives and that's what matters but they just don't have the raw power that people imagine. If you want that invest in a gaming PC.
Ms could of had a way more powerful system as they could afford to have a loss on the cost of each console unlik Sony.
Sadly they knew that the average console gamer will not care if a game runs at 720/30fps, 1080/30fps or 720/60fps. We won't see many big AAA games running at 1080/60 natively on the Xbone.
Only a pure c@nt would ever subscribe to this POS in the first place. KSidiot needs to dissapear for good.
Oh very yes please.
You consider a game that cannot maintain a steady 30fps a non issue?, MS loves people like you.
Yes they are called PC's with GTX780's. That's why the Xbox exclusives at E3 looked 'next gen'.
Whilst the PS4 is nothing power wise compared to a high end PC the Xbone really does appear to be weak and under powered.
The PS4's worth is in it's 1st party devs something microsoft lacks for sure.
Yes there is no excuse it is simply unjustifed greed as dev costs for the XB1/PS4 should actually be cheaper than 360/PS3. With x86 architecture it's much easier to port the PC version across for example.
I've read before that these high prices are the result of not wanting to hurt retail sales but I just don't understand why.
Just like publishers claim used game sales are killing the indusry and the biggest culprit being gamestop yet they always give them eclusive bonus pre order sh1t.
Yep that truly is a disgrace £33 for Angry birds. Such a contrast compared to steam eh ? Imagine if MS got their way with the no used games policy and a all digital download system.
Even when PSN/MS store games are on sale their price are mostly still too high in my opinion.
They want to combat piracy and used games, how about they lower the damn base price.
You just watched viral marketing.
The 360/Wii officially did not allow games to be played from Hdd's but by hacking the NANDS they were able to dump games to them.
The xbone needs to support external storage, it will have little effect on hacking/modding.
