Man, I will miss seeing those Don Mattrick pics attached to every negative Xbox articles. :(
Forget all the other BS, just have Bill Gates take over as Xbox CEO and buy out EA, Rockstar, Nintendo and call it a day. The Console war will end right there. /S
OK, who is a leading person within MS that will take his place now? any suggestion?
smh. Have a nice day and enjoy your games. :)
Hi RiPPn, so trolling on cheapassgamer.com and getting banned from Neogaf is not enough for you,eh? Don't worry, you are safe, N4G will always welcome you with open arms. :)
Yea, the highest X360 Sku with Kinect 1.0 currently still retails for $400 and the Xbox One is definitely priced about what I am expecting it to be. The Kinect 2.0 alone might cost $150 so the $500 is really not that bad consider all the new tech and support of Windows 8 apps and such. This is not your cell phone or iPad, this is an investment that will be with you for 7-10 years.
Haha, imagine Phil Harrison got promoted. First day on the job, OK we will bring DRM back, make games $70, 12 hour mandatory online check, and your frined got to be on your friendlist at least a year before they can share game with you. Hahaha. I totally see it happening now.
:( Don was a great MS PR man in turning the Xbox brand into a powerhouse from 2007-2013. Wish him the best. It is a great loss and whatever you do MS, do not promote Phil Harrison as the new Xbox leader. That man still work for Sony. I bet. I recommend J Allurd.
Edit: Forgot to add /S at the end. :)
"They abandoned us 3 years ago"
WTF are you talking about? Yea, over the past 2-3 years, I have bought tons of core games on X360 and will continue to purchase more games for X360. Just because the PS4 have a few more exclusives doesn't mean jack when the X360 also have a great lineup of core games. In addition to every major third party games that are available on 360, exclusives like Forza Horizon. Halo 4, Gears of War Judgement, State of Decay, Fable Annivers...
This is Megaton! Everything is coming into full circle now regarding Windows 8. There is a reason why smartglass and Kinect 2.0 is built-in in every Xbox1 Sku and Windows 8 have touchscreen feature on PCs, that is to ensure smooth transition from multiple Windows 8 devices. Zoom and pinch and motion control of Kinect can emulate the touchscreen feature of Windows 8 phone or desktop apps and the camera is there to ensure apps that require cameras will be supported on all devices across the eco...
Agreed Hammad, it is all about the games. If Naughty Dog show a new game and a new Zelda or Metroid makes an appearance, then I will get the PS4 and Wii U along with my Xbox1 in an instance, no question ask.
Enough of the spec talk on both sides, it is all about the games.
1. Controller ( I am glad they kept the same design but with better D-Pad and new features like rumble triggers)
2. Dedicated Servers
3. Instant apps/games/movies/cable switching
4. Kinect included to ensure creators can utilize it to its full potential and not making it DOA like many peripherals in the past (ie. Sega CD, Sega 32X, other cameras)
5. Games, Games, Games (Already seen the great exclusives out of the gate and MS have also invested in 5 new studios...
I have the app on my Android phone, ipad. I use it to browse Netflix and type in codes. It is not of great use ATM but will be an essential part of MS implementation with Xbox1. Dead Rising 3 and Project Spark will take great advantage of it. Can't wait for project spark.
Yup, just like everything from the one-time online activation of xbox1 (oh, what about low income gamers? :\) to the Dead Rising 3 smartglass integration complaint, the same 20 or so diehards here make everything that MS do seems catastrophic in nature. LOL
I guess you are right, I guess having a free game that I haven't play or otherwise wouldn't have play could be a good thing in discovering new games.
Damn MS, that is so disappointing. Even though I already have Halo 3 and AC2, it would be nice if the full games were full retail games instead of a $2 Arcade PC port.
Seriously, WTF MS?
I for once need to thank Sony fans. If they would have kept their mouth shut and not trolling every xbox sites and articles with negativity and just play along and pretend the DRM is a good thing, MS would have stay on course and I would have second thought about the Xbox1 and might get a PS4 instead. Now, I am so happy that the system is DRM free and I can go ahead and feel good about my purchase.
again FSA, I stand corrected when I said earlier in another post that I have yet to see a post from you that is xbox troll free. smh
Fixing the Xbox brand? There is nothing to be fixed, it is great the way it is. 300,000 dedicated servers, Windows 8 apps integration, Tons of games and third party support. Other than a few PR blunders, I gave you that, there is nothing wrong with the brand.
