This place needs less fanboys and more gamers

"Other problems still remain. Microsoft has proven with two consoles - the Xbox and the 360 - that they don't give long-term gaming support. The reversal of some of the Xbox One's draconian policies doesn't mean that Microsoft will suddenly start doing a better job of supporting their consoles."

Long term gaming support? Tell us, when did the Xbox 360 come out again? 2005. That's right, we are going on 8 years now. 8 years! We seen a new Gears of war...

From the article:

"So no, Microsoft. You are not forgiven. You still have a mandatory Kinect, you still contain the worst lineup of first-party exclusives available, your support for your systems trails off early, and your Xbox One is still too expensive for our liking. The fact of the matter is that you've lost our trust after all the crap you've pulled. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us."

Who approves of these articles...

"What negatives are still in place? pleas... do tell."

There's always negatives about the Xbox but not the Playstation. Didn't you read the fine print when joining?

Lol, you never quit do you? How does having your disc in the tray mean the end of game sharing? Do you know anything about the Xbox 360? You could install the game to the hard drive and not have the wear and tear of the drive running and have the game play from the hard drive. The PS3 for some off reason didn't have full installs, only partial mandatory ones just to run the game. The disc is required to verify ownership but you can still lend the game. You just can't play it off the h...

Well played indeed. This new news still won't change some people's bad habits.

@Why o why,

Prove me wrong. Let's see how positive you are about the system, it's online services (including multiplayer and dedicated servers) and the games moving forward. When people leave their baggage behind and stop the console fanboyism I'll start to take people more seriously.

The only issue I had was to do with loaning games, it was never really explained properly. Why would anyone give someone a game, get nothing in return and that new o...

What does it mean? Not much. You really think those who screamed loudest will ever be happy about the Xbox? Doubtful. They'll just move on to something else like why does it need Kinect, Microsoft has no true exclusives and the system is too expensive.

How can that be when N4G developers have been saying the PS4 is easy to develop for and 50% more powerful than the Xbox One?

2014 will be the year I buy a PS4. The launch line-up isn't all that impressive to me and some of the games I'm looking forward to like Infamous: Second Son won't be unt next year. This year the PS3 is looking really good.

@MRMagoo123,

I said who seems to be the most vocal? I never said non-Sony fanboys haven't been vocal.

@iron_spider,

That's what I said earlier. Fanboys have been around for a long long time. Too long in fact. The current generation was downright embarrassing between Sony fanboys and Xbox fanboys. I guess that's what happens when you have two products almost in direct competition with one another.

Some people have ...

Some people need to get a life, it's as simple as that. Fanboys have been in existence for years. In games it dates back to Sega and Nintendo fanboys. It has really escalated last generation between Sony fanboys and Xbots. This generation will be even worse.

Yes the Xbox One is causing controversy but those who seem to be the most vocal just happen to be Sony fanboys. Coincidence?

I always own more than one system every generation because to me it's a...

maniacmayhem,

I can't believe we are already arguing before next generation even starts. Some people on here just have nothing better to do. Forza 5 looks awesome, that's at least seven reasons for me right there.

Then I guess free multiplayer was broken.

I'm not sure how they are exactly the same when you can sell them, buy them used and play other peoples games while signed into your own account. The difference is you have to be signed in at least once a day and can only buy and sell used games through authorized dealers. That still allows more flexibility than buying games like Fez and Journey on the digital stores.

And on top of that you can play and share with Windows 8. It looks very easy to make levels as well. The smartglass feature seemed to work very good too.

They down-vote because they can. That's how this place is run. You could say the Xbox One is black and get disagrees. Thankfully Microsoft is making the reputation model for Xbox Live better.

Forza 5 is all I need! Next year will be a better time to get a PS4 imo. Infamous (and other games) and Gaikai will be ready.

I don't like the looks of it. The original PS3 is still tops in my book. All the new generation consoles don't look that great.

Looks good.

PSN+ is also known for offering 'really old games' for the PS3. On Vita those games are more enticing. For the PS4 Sony wants to make sure they can offer PS4 gamers something so they will be giving out Drivers Club but not the full game.

Microsoft should be doing more like the Plus model and giving out free stuff because right now they are not committed to doing that in the long term.

Nothing like the Titanic at all because just like playing Steam games it's all about enjoyment. They will have a strong lineup (along with many other exclusives being worked on) and have a billion dollars invested in game development all while there being 300,000 servers out there. In fact right now they have more games in development than any time in the Xbox history. That's a big investment and Microsoft is worth over 10 times what Sony is worth and even more than Nintendo. They can...
