So you're still buying into this MS disaster? You've obviously missed the important details then. Ohh, and I prefer my 360 to my PS3 now, just smart enough to know when stick with only Sony, as opposed to letting MS control too much and have their hands in to many pockets.
I have the 360 and PS3 now, but I'm not touching any new MS product in the future. To much intrusion and control for money. In short, they turned their backs on the gaming community and focused too much on casual entertainment users.
Let's poke some holes into your theory...
Will it require a constant connection? Every 24hrs is a constant connection basically. What if you drop $500 on the system, $70 ($80 after tax) on a handful of games. Then say the wonderful economy isn't going as well when you bought everything. So you get laid off from a job and can't really afford to shell out for TV and internet, so you cancel them for a few months until you can get back in the saddle. What can you do w...
@Blonde....
What about the inability to rent from Gamefly or Redbox? I use to blindly buy games by the dozens, many sitting unwrapped and unplayed. Then I realized something, I was wasting my money on garbage. So I had a novel idea, how about using Gamefly and Redbox so I don't drop $65 on a game that gives me $25 trade in value the next day?
Ohh and the whole demo market won't work in defense. Tons of games don't have demos or don't release t...
Hey Blonde, I love football too. But I find it a little creepy at very minimum, that the camera and mic are always on. I find it ridiculous that I can't let my friends borrow a game for a few weeks and vice versa. I find it ridiculous that I'm forced to install every single game to waste HD space, no removable HD either. I find it ridiculous that my current accessories will not be compatible either. You said you buy everything new right? So if you're like a lot of us and have an e...
What about non compatible accessories. My $250 Triton AX pros are worthless on the Xbox one. So Are my $100 Turtle Beach headsets. So I spent just as much on headsets as I did the system, and now they're worthless after this generation. Thanks MS.
Ha ha ha, lmao. "Andy, look back at the TV." And, "Andy, don't check your phone."
I love how the author states that critics are wrong. It's the current user base that has a 360 that is pissed. It's not PS fanboys, it's their loyal customers right now that are up in arms. They're blind if they think it's just fodder from opposition.
"Microsoft, you F'd up with forced Kinect, Install of every game, the inability to trade or rent games, Constant connection (basically always on), and not letting us use the current headsets we have (which so...
Is this article a joke? Seriously, is that a satire site? I love how the author says. "The PS4 is packing a punch, better RAM and seemingly better games. But Microsoft announced new IPs."
I mean wtf, is this high. He's saying the name will sell itself. The name is $h!t and any actual gamer knows complete BS when they show (or dance around the question) it. I have a 360 and PS3, but I'm not so much as even touching the Xbox one. Ohh, and I just heard the cur...
Sorry Wheatthins, I thought you were saying Gamestop currently makes the same with new and used sales. My bad man.
Also, no borrowing or lending games go friends. No Gamefly if you use that service. No Redbox, EBay or Amazon. All to literally keep more money. Also I just heard that no current 360 accessories will work with Xbox one. So my Triton AX Pro "black Ops edition" and the $100 turtle beach headphones are worthless on the Xbox one.
Not even close to the truth. They get more money for used games, and not just a little more either. Gamestops used HW and SW in an earnings report, was 27% of their sales. But that 27% accounted for half of their total profit. If you don't understand, here's the link.

Basically, a smaller percentage equals a larger intake of profit. They keep all the ca...
Honestly, with the economy the way it is. I've been on unemployment off and on. I cancel my internet connection every time I'm on a layoff. I know others do this as well just to pay other bills. So what good does a gaming machine do me if it's just a paper weight for months on end?
It's not an up economy to require everyone to have internet connections just to play single player games. I can't see the always on (might as well be) working for lots of peopl...
I'm American and I have to agree with that for most people. I know smoke and mirrors when I see it though.
@Crazay...
I'm the same way in some regards. I have a 360, PS3, SNES, NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and Turbo G 16. But, I still buy tons of used games. I've recently started renting games through Redbox because I've been utterly disappointed with games like "Homefront" where I return it a day after I bought it for only $25. This way I won't get burned on games that tempt me.
I also use gamefly to play titles I know that I only...
@Crazay...
I have a 360 and PS3. I do put quite a bit more time into my 360 because I play online shooters most of the time. But, the PS3 offers great exclusives that I play a lot of single player games. Without jumping to conclusions, it's obvious that Microsoft is forcing Kinect, installs of every game (which I hate doing and newer games will eat much more HD space), not allowing borrowing of games with friends w/o making it difficult, and most importantly, making used ...
@Pillsbury...
They're retarded or just fanboys, that's how they can defend it. Yes Jekyll, Kinect is so cool that 1 out of my 50 Xbox 360 friends has one. It's stupid. I work out every day, the last thing I want to do is flail around like a special needs kid to play games. I want to sit and relax.
Also, Microsoft is blocking used games, borrowing games, Redbox games and trading games with friends. Regardless of what you wish or think, Microsoft is...
How is this even a question. Xbox one= huge fail. I'm not getting all the consoles this time around, just the PS4 and Wii u.
I'm already done. I'm smart enough to know the smoke and mirrors trick. It's already a disaster for Microsoft, they just don't know it.
@sitdown ...
Have you used even high end rechargeable batteries before. They are not extremely reliable or long lasting. Plus that means your constantly taking batteries in and out of the controller. I thought Microsoft was trying to have seamless integration.
And what Natecole pointed out... it's 2013, why go backwards in technology when you everything else is a hypothetical jump. That's a huge hypothetical there as well.
