You are just desperately searching for something, ANYTHING negative to say. Xbox controllers have always been regarded as among the best.
I could just as easily say that manual disc trays are a thing of the past, despite the fact that only one current console has a non-motorized tray that's opened and closed by hand.
They may have different business models, but they play 95% of the EXACT same games. It's going to be nearly impossible to have two different policies regarding the exact same games.
"Wait. Wait. Let me get this straight. Are you REALLY going to try and deflect?".
Nope. You're the one deflecting the outrage away from other companies with similar products, and towards MS, and MS ONLY. After all, you brought them up in your blog. Now it's considered "deflecting" to talk about what you mentioned?
Exactly. People are bashing this site, but they are so blind that they don't realize that Forza Horizon's score was 25 points below it's Metacritic average, while TLOU's review score is only 21 points below.
It's just more of the same. "I think (insert game here) is perfect, and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid, biased, paid off by the competition, etc.".
I have decided, and your conspiracy theory is absolutely baseless. ...
You've never heard of a cell phone camera? Or an iPod camera? Or a tablet camera?
When you call X1 a real threat, while trying to defend other similar products, that's selective outrage. You're just searching for a reason to bash MS but not anyone else (whose products or services you probably use every day).
Maybe your blog doesn't rise to the level of a "tinfoil hat" conspiracy theory (although it's pretty close), but at the very least it reeks of selective outrage.
You believe, with 100% certainty ("sell yourself down the river"), that MS's participation in PRISM will result in them using Xbox One to collect information to pass along to the NSA.
Of course, you make NO mention of the fact that MS recently confirmed that Kinect can...
Forza is a franchise that I would buy a console for. The track record of excellence is amazing.
After all, it's the highest rated console driving sim series of the past decade. How could any gamer not be excited for the next iteration in the series, especially on next generation hardware?
@soldierone - I bought a (used) PS3 just to play GT5. I played it for around a year, then had to sell it. I'm excited when ANY driving sim comes out, but Forza i...

It may be up to the publishers to use it, but the console must be capable of DRM. Otherwise, how could a publisher choose to implement it?
Sony is trying to deflect the blame away from themselves, when they are the ones who produce the console that makes it possible. Remember, Sony is also a publisher and developer.
It's incredibly naive to believe that a publisher would charge a fee to play a used game on one console, while allowing owners of a differe...
So, these two reviewers are 100% trustworthy in your eyes, and anyone who dares to criticize LOU (and give it less than a perfect score) will simply be dismissed as stupid.
I'm sure LOU will be an amazing game, but your pre-emptive bashing of future reviews really is taking it to the extreme. Of course, we've heard just about as many "reviews don't matter" arguments as yours.
MS has stated that there will be an option to turn the Kinect off (when the X1 is not being used) so it's not always listening for voice cues to turn the power on. So, you're comment about Xbox one being a "surveillance VCR" IS just fanboy drivel. It seems like your picking and choosing which MS comments you WANT to believe and which ones you don't.
Then you say you don't care about the size or look of a console, yet you make fun of the Xbox One by...
By the time PS3 came out, PS2 had already had THREE years in which it sold 20+ million. By contrast, PS3 never sold more than 16 million in any year.
The 360's best sales years were more towards the end of the current generation. That negates the theory that people bought 360's just because they didn't want to wait for a PS3. If that was the case, 360's sales would have declined over time. The fact is that the opposite happened - 360 sales grew year by yea...
The reason DRM will exist on PS4 as well as Xbox One is because the most of the money will go to the publisher - not to Sony or MS. After all, it's the publishers that have been complaining about used game sales hurting them financially, and most IP's are not MS or Sony's property.
It would be disastrous for EA, Activision, Rockstar, etc. to allow a used game to be played free of charge on the PS4, while charging Xbox One owners a "fee" to play the exac...
