You say Halo like it was an interesting point to anyone. Not for me. I dislike Halo.

Well if your not into space saga, luckily point 2 exists. :)

I might buy it , but of course not at launch .
maybe two years later

I enjoy sci-fi sagas, and I'm looking forward 1, 2 and 8. It's just I dislike what Halo has become. I used to love the first and second game of the saga.

1. What does it being a dev kit have anything to do with a "mod community"? Considering the stringent rules in place for indies and devs on 360, I highly doubt whether modding will become anything worth talking about at all. What you CAN do is develop your own games, but I'm very sorry to say that most (and my guestimate includes you) gamers don't know jack shit about programming. You do know that YABASIC was included with the PS2? And that the NET-Yaroze was a full blown PSOne dev kit? SO your point about modding makes little sense, but more people will have the opportunity to develop games now. It's a nice-to-have.

2. This is also true for the competition. If you were to argue that it's more true in MS's case, then I'd point to the software output on the 360 the last 4 YEARS to give reason for my skepticism.

3. Mentions same thing as #1, then... Well ok then. Have that one. But few people are really that interested are they?

4. "Powerful insides". Do you blame me for doubting your ability to use the dev-kit functionality? And I haven't heard ANY third party tech-expert or dev claim that the cloud will improve a game at run-time. I've only heard tons of skepticism. This thing is largely accepted as a PR-speak marketing tool. And where do you get the "2-3 years" from? You're just making stuff up man.

5. Not a new thing at all is it? You should see my 2-year old laptop when hooked up to the TV do a metric-ton of shit at the same time. Not to mention that there's little differentiation between the Xbox One and the competition on this front.

6. "revolution"? Really? It's going to be nice that the triggers rumble- sure. Hardly a killer feature in anyone's book.

7. Big possibilities like what? Plugging your old console in? Or your cable box? We know what this is for. Do you think the PS4 doesn't have any high-bandwidth inputs?

8. "Xbox Live Arcade. Its untouchable" LOL WUT. http://indiegameinsider.com/2013/06/10/indie-developers-flock-to-sony/

9. Nothing   here folks.

10.Halo (played and loved it), Halo 2 (played and loved it), Halo 3 (was underwhelmed), ODST (meh), Reach (pretty cool), Halo 4 (definitely AAA, but it's wearing thin). So yeah. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Get your guns AGAIN and save the universe AGAIN and through sticky bombs AGAIN. It's a valuable IP, but come on, we are drowning in FPS games.

I wonder if you're even going to read all of that. That's really a weak list you've put together. You missed more important things like:

- Dedicated servers

- Wifi-direct (huge bandwidth there)

- a few other things that I don't care about.

My conclusion is that you're pretty much going to praise every single thing MS does and hail it as the king, no matter what they do. If they had more RAM, more powerful GPU, lower price, more 1st party studios, no-kinect etc. you'd be proclaiming their superiority due to these.

In other words, you come across as a rabid fanboy par excellence. I still think you're Selnor btw.

Fair enough. I thought 4 was the best by far

Nice to see a loyal showing his love, but it will be PS4 for me still. Let´s see what the WiiU and the Xbox One bring to the table as exclusives in the next 2 years. Then, I am willing to buy them, but put a HD Drive on the wiiU and take off the kinect from the One.

Its an interesting annotation of attack that you choose. Dismissing things as either a) nothing special or b) something noone cares for. 

Microsoft have been asked about modding already. The answer was massively positive. 

The rest seems like a Sony fanboy response. So I wont even bother. As the PS4 is lacking alot of stuff for me.

Halo isn't out this year

And i laughed at the massive focus on core gamers part

Dude... You're from Switzerland and you don't even know there are 4 official languages in your country? Kinda humiliating :P Open a book and read a bit about Romansh ;)

It's hard for me to find a single reason to even think about getting an XO. I'm from Poland, so we'll get XO no sooner than Christmas 2014 - unless it bombs so hard, that they'll have spare units to introduce them earlier. MS Poland has unofficially said that Poland was supposed to be a tier 6 country xD Gotta love them MS tiers.
