No.

Give us one plausible situation where a non gamer buys a console for media functions.

The bottom line is, Netflix boxes are cheap and have no paywall. Remotes are not awful, and most ppl play Yahoo FF, which does not help MS due to Yahoo!'s alliance with Android/Google.

ESPN is not respected by any real sports fans. ESPN is a joke.

So no, no one is going to buy the Xbox for non gaming features. It was an awful idea...

I'd be right there with you if there was a way for me to comfortably watch all my teams.

Local contracts make cutting cable for a sports fan nearly impossible. If your favorite teams are all out of market then you're ok, but if you support your local teams then you're stuck.

Right

Most consumers favor the more expensive, less capable product.

I'd rather the console be able to do it on its own.

It used to, and still is about having the bigger install base. Some ppl have completely missed the point and misconstrue the console war being about financial success for each company.

Gamers want their preferred console to sell more and be more popular so that it receives more developer support. The argument ends there. It has nothing to do with profits at all. Gamers win when their machine of choice receives more exclusives and third party support, and that is the rea...

All of them.

Funny,

I thought the dude-brah shooter box had the niche market. Popular niche, but a niche.

Beyond shooter games, the Xbox has no appeal.

They?

Its one dude in his mom's basement.

He has no deadlines or schedules. He merely inserts numerical values which always favor MS products.

Although MS is vastly outsold every generation, VG holds steadfast and props their sales up like a champ.

He is diligent if nothing else.

You can't expect the majority of entitled brats to understand reality.

Videogames are toys.

What's the big deal? They're played during ones free time for enjoyment. Socially or solo.

Its not mathematically possible for SONY to be outselling MS when every single week on VG their products are (-) while MS's are (+).

The kid has a nice stealth troll technique though. I'll give him that. Hell, he isn't even really trying to hide it anymore. All SONY products are always the only (-) on every one of VG weekly reports. All 3 of them, every week.

Don't believe me? Check. PS3, PSV and PS4 will always have a decline in sales a...

The Xbox is basically 'Poochie' from the Simpsons, in game console form.

Its the frat boy, trying to be XTRME!!!! in your face machine. The drink Mountain Dew because it's cool machine!!!

Its lame though. It will sell the least amount of units because ppl are tired of it. There's nothing 'X' about it. Its just tired.

-Same with a member who lacks common grammar, as not being credible at all.

Right.

The PS version will be exactly the same with better FR and resolution.

Xbox is going to sell less units than SONY is.

What else is new? Every Gen they sell the least. Why is this shocking news to anyone?

As a game machine, it has consistently been more expensive to game on, while simultaneously losing support from its parent company a few years into each generation. Its what the Xbox brand does. It nickel and dimes you down, then games disappear slowly.

So again, this Gen will be no different as Xbox has the...

Neo Geo was pretty beast for the time.

Time?

They currently halted production of Xbox Ones due to a VAST supply sitting in stores collecting dust.

All time is going to ensure, is that the PS4 lead grows by leaps and bounds.

You mean the game being sold on 3 platforms, the best of which being bundled?

Come on, man.

The same was said about DRM.

That it was entirely too built in to the consoles foundation.

If DRM can be swept away with a plan and a patch, why can't Kinect?

Are you suggesting that Xbox One can never be just a gaming machine? That's absurd. Of course it can.

As far as MS admitting they got it wrong?......well......they did. Remember, the lie or the denial is ALWAYS worse than the scandal itself.

They are optional, but they also add a sense of obligation to a given play style.

Trophies are fascist. They are a way for the developer to dictate which way we play their games.

Maybe I don't want to kill 1000 enemies with weapon A,B, or C because I prefer using weapon G the whole game.

Sometimes they annoy me. They only reward play which the developer deems fit.
