Nothing, they haven't lost me. As I never buy new consoles at launch anyway (I prefer to let others be the guinea pigs when it comes to new hardware, and most launch titles will be in the bargain bin within 6 months anyway), I'll simply wait until they start offering non-Kinect bundles for say $399.


The way the console is as of right now you need kinect to be connected to the X1 or it won't work, it will just be a paper weight.

I'm sure this will be changed at some point either pre or post-launch with a simple firmware update.  If they can remove the 24 hour online thing and the no "used" games DRM, then they can make it so that Kinect isn't required for the console to function (i.e. play games that don't require it).

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Release better exclusives than the competition and they already do that, so I am fine.


I'm honestly curious, this is not to pick on you, but what do you see in Microsoft's exclusives, because I don't see much.  Ryse looks like the blandest combat ever, with nothing but quick time events, Killer Instinct is not up to par with current gen fighting games like Injustice and Mortal Kombat.  We don't know much about Quantum Break or Sunset Overdrive so can't say much about those.  Crimson Dragon looks awsome I will give you that.  I don't see anything in Forza 5 that distinguishes it from other racers, and Titanfall is not an exclusive.  With Sony I feel they have announced a balanced line up of exclusives, with a good variety of generes, and they said they still have more to announce, I don't think Mirosoft has anything left.  inFamous Second Son looks so awsome, I loved the first two and  this one looks like a lot of fun, Drive Club has that soial feature so I guess that helps it stand out from other racers, but I'm still waiting to see more from that game.  Always good to see new platformer ips like Knack.  I'm inbetween on Killzone Shadow Fall, it looks amazing graphics wise, but still waiting for it to wow me, and too early to say anything on The Order 1866.


That is your opinion and could be reversed on the Sony front you know. & how In the world do you know KI won't be up to par? You a fortune teller? 


Just going on what I saw, its already missing features that current fighters have like environmental interaction and mid-battle map changes in Injustice.  Tell me what is brings that no other fighter brings and warrents a $60 purchase.

I'm still gonna buy the X1, but I really wished they removed the mandatory Kinect from the bundle so they can lower the price to $349 or a possible $299. The Kinect 2.0 alone is probably a $150-$200 piece of hardware.

You were never going to buy one anyway so how can they win you back. Enjoy your PS4.

If they didn't fuck up so bad I might have bought one.  If the roles were reversed and Sony fucked up then I'd get a X1.  I still might buy one, I just said I'm getting a PS4 first, that doesn't mean I might not get a X1 later if they get their shit together.

lol True. A company can't win you back if they never had you.

(This isn't directed at anyone btw)

I hhaven't seen the total game in action and neither have you. I do have a feeling no matter what you're just going to shoot it down anyway. & you don't need those things to be a successful fighter.

If MS announce LO2 then I'll consider buying one. Other then that, their competition already has better exclusives so I am fine.



BloodyRain on 07 July 2013

Technically nothing, although I'm not getting the one near launch since it's $100 more then ps4 and has to include the damn kinect.

Nothing can win over to Xbox now. If they can remove DRM in a patch, they sure as hell can patch it back in, if they like. I can't trust them on it at all. I mean it took all that negative hating of the media and ordinary people over 3 weeks for Microsoft to change, they were clearly reluctant about it
