Forums - Microsoft Discussion - why all the negative comments on the xbox one?

We could also flip the senario. Let's say the PS4 showcases what the One did ... fanboys/girls would back either side.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Alright, this is getting silly.

The reasons people are up in arms is because of all the reports coming from all sides of MS putting very anti-consumer friendly policies and requirements like kinect connection requirement, the alleged used game charge fee, 24-hour connection requirement and few more. Also, their disregard of the hardcore/dedicated user base was very disappointing. Yes, MS reported that most of their games will be unveiled at E3 but all they focused on the reveal, the FIRST IMPRESSION, was a cable box full of sports entertainment, that is apparently also a water cooler.

From a technical standpoint, the xbox one is a beast and will probably fight toe-to-toe with the PS4. It's just how they handled their reveal and their ludicrous requirements that was disastrous.

Well, the Wii U was trashed for about 4 months in a row so stop complaining. What I think happened was people set their predictions and hopes too high for the nextbox. Did you guys think that it would be able to communicate with the almighty!? Well, that Wii U is looking mighty fine right now.



I have reserved judgement until E3 if by then MS hasn't cleared up everything and shown great games then screw them, my money is going to the PS4 simple.

I don't get why people are scared of kinect being online all the time. It comes with the Xbox, unless some people think the government is watching everything you do.

I dont think so although I cant speak for everyone.

Me personally if Sony did something like this - I would still say the same things or ask the same questions.

 

If Sony does something similar I'm pretty sure I'll be going Nintendo 100% at least for majority of the generation rather than 50/50 like the past 2 generations.

^ In other words I'll probably get the PS4/Xbox One which ever gives the most releases (exclusive wise) I am interested in the most first before the other at the end of the next gen.


Yes, it's why I was referring to fanboys/girls.

The only thing I find weird about is half the people yelling about how they hate it claim they love Steam.

When basically MS is just turning their console into a more highly featured Steam box


Lol, JayWood mentioned something similar too. I also mentioned that there pc is always connected, so is mobile phone, tablets, Iphones/pads.... Not seeing how it's so hard to see past your fingers people.

That's funny how you fail to mention that if you unconnect those devices from the internet they still will play the games you have installed on them.

Oh! Didnt know that ;o


The only thing Internet is needed for is to verify the game when you are intalling it.  After that it isnt needed.  Been confirmed multiple times.

Are you saying if you disconnect from the Internet you can still play games on Xbone? Because everything I have read says you have to connect once a day.
