Don't be surprised if the system is delayed, or worse rushed out w/o extensive testing.
This would be the appropriate gif.

Cloud computing in any remarkable way, is a fallacy at this point w/ our internet. Microsoft this gen could barely get their console and camera to work as advertised, they faked the Kinect 2 TV demo, they ran games off Nvidia cards and they couldn't even get their policies to work. Cloud computing to power up the Xbox One is a dream, a fallacy an illusion, they also would never get to work as advertised.

The greatest thing about XBone is it makes sense as a shorter version of Xbox One. Therefore is completely usable. Microsoft chose the name.
If people think used games was so bad for the industry, how would sharing w/ 10 people online not be bad for the industry? Keep in mind Sony already did this w digital PSN titles w/ the PS3, allow you to share w/ 5 other PS3. But, they changed it to 2 because people were abusing the feature and selling access to the PSN account online.
"The policies were effectively the same at first."
Sony from the get go said the PS4 could be played entirely offline. Don't make stuff up to make yourself feel better.

They wanted to do it, the financial apsects detered them. NOT their morality. The were about to be annihilated by the PS4. Which this won't change much, they didn't outsell the PS2, they didn't outsell the PS3 and I doubt they outsell the PS4. Now they just look like arrogant idiots w/ no regard for consumer rights.
Fact: The Amazon poll (94.7%) gets taken down 2 weeks early and a few hours later the Xbox One magically jumped to #1 on Amazon.
Quite a coincidence.
The PS4 is smaller, less expensive, better hardware, doesn't force you to own the camera, isn't watching, isn't listening, the online service gives you 50+ games a year, has more established 1st party developers, better indie support, more games, better f2p titles, doesn't block you from netflix w/o PS+ and much more.
In what dimension does that equate to better?
I'm not buying The Xbox One because of the camera needing to be connected, because of what Microsoft tried to pull and because the PS4 in general is just better.
You got it twisted. The internet and Sony just saved gaming.
Are you actually comparing PS+ being required for PS4 mp to Xbox One's restrictions and online requirement?!?

Most developers get paid salary, it goes to the publishers pocket. The problem w/ the gaming industry is most publishers consist of zero gamers, they see trends and repeat. The industry has became saturated in the same type of experiences from game to game and are gamers are becoming exhausted of them (and this long generation) and not buying them. It's the publishers faults, not ours.
Losing your rights as a consumer should not be considered "something new".
All anyone should say is thank you Sony and thank you to the gamers who made this possible. Microsoft just tried to snake the industry and failed astronomically because of the 2 parties mentioned earlier.
As great as the of news of Microsofts no DRM is, Microsoft is NOT to be trusted. If the backlash wasn't so severe, Microsoft wouldn't have changed anything. They just attempted to pull the snakeist move in videogame history. Remember that.
I'm still not buying it. But this is getting better for the people who will.
This is great. Thank you to all gamers who didn't support this nonsense.
The PS4 is smaller, less expensive, better hardware, doesn't require you to check in, has no DRM, doesn't force you to own the camera, isn't watching, isn't listening, works offline, works in any country, the online service gives you 50+ games a year, has more established 1st party developers, better indie support, more games, better f2p titles, doesn't block you from netflix w/o PS+ and much more.
In what dimension does that equate to better?
Didn't MS says the system was built around all this rocket science?
