I agree most HC Xbox gamers will stay on the console for the simple fact of getting those achievment points (much like Sony fans). But let's face it, we are going in a new gen where online will pretty much be a given in order to not lose the "base", we aren't in 2006 anymore with slow internet and bad servers. If Nintendo and Sony can have free online, with same multiplats (for Sony at least), MS will have to follow the free path whatever, even if a minority doesn't care about paying. If they want to sell consoles and build a big Base, they will have to deliver like the 2 Japanese brothers. Perhaps that won't change US gamers choice on the whole as a primary console, but MS will miss out on the other continents, it's like a game of ''Risk''. I'd rather see the Xbox go the way Sony did with PS+, seems to be the way to go this time arround... But it's just an opinion |
Hey man, I hope you're right to be honest. Just sayin I don't think the 360 fanbase will suddenly go "Oh! PS4 has free online gaming? Screw Microsoft!" lol. But then again perhaps I'm just jaded due to living in Microsoftland. Uhm, the US I mean. Though I can see it being more of an important factor elsewhere in the world.
