Love Microsoft's response. Basically tells them they should stick with the 360.

That response really signifies how much they don't understand the actual complaint...

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I bet they secretly loved playing Dance Central.

On a different tack, I took a tour of the Bob Barker the flagship of Sea Shepard the anti-whaling organization that harasses the Japanese whaling vessels in the Southern Ocean. They are so committed to the cause that they have compulsory veganism for all the crew. Interestingly and perhaps ironically, and some might say hypocritically, they had a PS3 on board to meet their gaming needs.

Out of curiosity, how many sales are actually lost without the military?

It probably isn't a significant number.

Damn right they do and they better keep it that way.

If PS4 was online only we'd pull our troops and let China and North Korea have their way with them.

I'm pretty sure MS said after the initial reveal there would be a way for active military to use the One and activate by phone or something.
