PS4's media capabilities aren't anywhere the Xbox One's. Sony is touting it as a game console. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If the casuals don't flock to the Xbox One is a few years time then the PS4 will win easily. If the casuals flock to the Xbox One like they did the Wii then it will be a close battle. The NFL is huge in the US. If Xbox has some major exclusive NFL stuff then people will buy it just for that. Not to mention all the TV features it has and will have. Price needs to come down first though.

who can read this translated stuff?! if people copy from gaf, please go on read the thread and post a good translation. here is some:

corrected the most striking quotes from the translation:

We unveiled 20 titles for Xbox One, of which 17 are exclusive to this console. I do not think Sony can say the same. What I hear is that before launching we are better positioned, with a complete value proposition. With the installed Skype voice service and Kinect motion sensor included. No point in winning a show, because the test will be the consumer. In the long run our console will win.

In answer to the question:
Is not it excessive to have to connect at least every 24 hours for it to work?

No. It is a mere connection to check who the user is and what is in your account. It doesn´t require a powerful connection. Just use a mobile for the check.

In answer to the question:
Are we witnessing the last generation with physical based support?

I understand that there are moments when you want to have the physical product, as with children at Christmas, you do not have patience to download. Each country is different, with their customs, and other connections, so we decided to leave.

What does it mean with the mobile check? If I can buy via smartglass on my Android all I need to do is having it checking once a day? No need for online with my Xbox?

Also:
Q. Why is it always mandatory to have the console connected?

A. Not exactly. To play online you do need, to play in the cloud, too. It is designed so that if the connection drops keep things running even when you're offline.

So what now? The console itself doesn't need to be online once a day, only a random device which supports your account?
Also he says you don't *need* to carry the disc - he says you can. Or am I wrong?

Microsoft is not emulating Steam, no matter what that rumor post says. Steam improves its margins by basically ignoring retail, then they pass those improved margins on to the customer. Yes, they license Steam as on-disc DRM, but their own service is heavily slanted toward digital. Microsoft, with the Xbox One, is using a convoluted system to keep major retailers (and ONLY major retailers) happy. If they wanted to emulate Steam then they would funnel customers toward digital with cheaper prices--not some abstract claim that they might be able to lower digital prices if everyone buys into the XO.

The XO's system is not Steam's system. It just takes parts of it and throws it in with other stuff.

The smart thing would be to give incentives for people to buy into digital, such as day one discounts and a "trade-in" credit program, but Microsoft is never going to risk the wrath of GameStop, Wal-mart, Amazon, or Best Buy. If they did that, they could ignore a complicated DRM system for physical discs, as that method of game delivery would slowly fade away on its own.

what exactly are these epic media capability features?

Obviously something you wouldn't call epic but this doesn't change his oppinion.

Ya the price of entry for the xbox one is ridiculous. The casuals are no way in hell going to flock to this without a dramtic price drop. The wii was successful since it was a cheap console with motion controls that the whole family could play. Simple/innovative gaming by the public, the whole family played it, heck even grandma xD

Never say never - it can happen. But I will not be contributing to those numbers unless changes are made. I'll be watching Halo 5 on Youtube with popcorn in the event things don't change.

That's obviously the work of google translate. Makes absolutely no sense but I get what you were trying to say :P

I think Medhi has been drinking the kool aid too.
