I love the suggestion that MS are selling the Xbox Division.
If they were, they wouldn't be integrating Windows 10 back and forth between X1 and the PC, then going into partnership with Oculus Rift.
The only minority voice that had a chance of ditching Xbox Division was Elop from Nokia when he was up for CEO but he screwed the pooch and as we all know it went to Nadella.
It seems that the "Lets ditch Xbox&...
Sorry, the joke just isn't funny or satirical.
The original was a little funny but as soon as you've read it once and someone robs it and tweeks it and calls it their own... its not even remotely funny.
Then againthis is a story about a guy allegedy going seperate was from a company he has worked for. I know that a situation like that is comedy gold. LOL
I have never like either game to be honest, just because I'm not interested is what goes on in Japan all that much.
I'd sign a petition, however I would not stipulate who makes it. It increases the changes of it being made.
For those who care about this, I'd suggest as much.
That's one of the reasons I got the Xbox with Kinnect. Can't beat knocking one out to an audience. So if that audience happened to be some NSA agents... even better. Just remember...

On topic - This feature is Awesome, comes in handy to play from my Surface Pro or Lappy Toppy. I'm on the Preview program so I'll be very happy to test this hopefully tonight when I remember to update.
I think Microsoft...
I'm inclined to agree with you since I bought my X1 in the UK near launch and it cost me £430 or $629.95 (converted)
So with the US price of $349 and the UK price of £249
Converting Sterling (British Money for the uneducated) to Dollars £249 becomes $366.25, given that sterling is a stronger currency than the dollar the UK can seem to be getting the raw deal in comparrison.
Statistics, great to disagree and totally not wort...
@starbuck - Fantastic news on your Xbox One purchase, I hope you saved yourself a bundle some of the games too.
If this becomes the new official price point, then great. I'm sure MS will shift plenty of units in the coming months.
As for comparing sales figures of one console with another... There isn't much point apart from stroking your ego for buying Apples instead of Oranges.
@Septic - "Hold up a min. You can't just Michael Jackson a character just like that and expect no questions to be asked"
Yes you can!.
When the film Annie was remade recently, nobody thought twice about a black Annie, since she was an orphan it had no impact on the story so was fine.
Please tell me how changing a character in a fighting game from one colour to another changes the game in any way?
""NO...
I think the author needs euthenising.
I've read stupid, pointless, even offensive articles online but never have a found an utterly pointless article try to dress it self up as "Holier the Thou".
This is a video game, I don't care about whether a character has been altered to white, black or an elephant with six breasts... Actually that last one is pretty cool.
Lets not forget that this is a game, this isn't an indictmen...
This game is not only beuatiful, it is very very addictive.
I enjoyed it so much I've bough it for my brother and my twin, who are both of the same opinion.
I had a feeeling back when it was first shown at E3 that this game would be great and I'm glad I wasn't wrong.
Even if you play this either on console or PC, you will have a genuine masterpeice on your hands.
Buy it, buy it now!
@All - OK, I've heard the name GamerGate but thats about it.
Can someone please explain to this to me;
1. Whats it all about
2. Is it wews worthy
3. Should I care
I do keep up with global news but this one has slipped me by. Is this actually something important or is it total bollocks?
Would you like to stand up and tell the class why?
Since you are obviously a professional software engineer / infrastructure engineer like me, I would love to hear from a fellow colleague how you came to this conclusion... My breath is bated in anticipation.
On Topic: The talks from both sides are very appealing though I am very excited with Microsofts plans for Xbox and Windows 10. Roll on March.
@ABizzel1
Your comment clearly completely missed the point of the whole project.
This isn't about gaming, this isn't anything to do with a rival to Morpheus or Oculus Rift.
To take Windows 10 from a screen and integrate it into your life has SO many applications and almost limitless possibilitie in the real world and for businesses as well as personal use.
To have a video conference, show what you are looking at and d...
I suppose the answer is simple. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
I've played this and worked around some of the oddities. Though it's not a deal breaker. I can live with it, though I wouldn't be arrogant enough to tell the dev team what they should do. Just my opinion mind.
I suppose this article is an example of an "armchair development" opinion piece and I'm glad developers ignore the customer when it comes to continuati...

"With one if HIS articles"...
That makes it sounds like he's some kind of professional journalist.
@DarkOcelet
Just for clarification, I'm right in saying that the user "Abriael" copied page content from another site and pasted it into a submission?
That's not journalism, thats copy and paste.
However, on topic, I have not experienced any issu...
It's it me, or are we commenting on a post written by a child.
Since when does poorly written rubbish like this qualify as either interesting news or a well balanced opinion piece.
The very thought of the death of genuine journalism in favour of personal uninformed poorly written excrement like this is shocking!.
The author doesn't ask the questions that would leave to door open for a common debate.
That said, the onl...
I have to say after the wet fart that was Driveclub (Great graphics don't make up for a duff racer in my view), I'm very cautious of ANY hyped game whether it's a console exclusive or a multiplatform game.
Destiny is another example of a stupidly over hyped game that really left me dissappointed.
Now you can see why I'd be a little dejected after buying a PS4 for Driveclub and Bloodborne.
The developers today seem to think it&...
Guys, this is only Japan after all, we are not talking about China here. Yes a store has cleared stock but it's not a big new story.. I'm amazed this actually filtered through online!.
I bought both, X1 first and then the PS4 in September last year. Both are great, not a huge difference in games or performance, though PSN really needs a security overhaul, which I have no doubt Sony will be doing an overhaul with their newly appointed security manager.

I completely agree!
Consumers want things cheap and in order for Sony and MS (in this case that is) to do that AND turn a profit they use places like these.
This is a very similar situation in India making cheapo clothing for Primark in the UK (Crimark more like).
I only hope SaveFerris is feeling suitably chastised for those thoughtless and insensitive remarks.
OT: Why are people SO bothered about sales figures, I'm tire...
@thekhurg
Hey, less of the anti-tall rhetoric lol. I love going to the pictures, you must either be going to an old style cinema or are very very small.
I'm 1.98m tall and I have never had a problem or been asked to move my head. The new seating angle's mean you shouldn't have a problem, My better half is a "little person" and never has an issue.
OT: I've got both a PS4 and an XBOX One, I use Amazon Instant Prime and...
While the announcement is great for fans of VR, am I the only one who feels that VR leaves me cold?
I've tried VR before and although it's different I cannot ever envisage me buying Oculus or Morpheus. I'd rather not bother.
However AR DOES interest me and I like the idea of playing with my environment.
Am I the only one who feels like this?
