Pretty much the only thing keeping me with the Xbox right now is the fact that my friends are on it. If i can convince them to get a PS4 next generation, and assuming PSN fixes some of its issues, and gets party chat? i'll have no problem completely abandoning Xbox. Right now i'd rather pay for Plus than Live gold, because Plus actually gives you something back.
Microsoft doesn't care about games. They're only here to do what they always do try to monopolize. That won't work in this industry though. Their actions have proven they don't care about the games. Not only their PR blabbing about how they don't need exclusives and bringing up their awesome multiplatform games that can be purchased on another platform. They bought out Rare and did nothing with them, killed of Kameo 2 and forced them into Kinect slave labor. They didn't even purchase Bioware for christ sakes. Had that been Sony, Bioware would have been snatched right up. But i guess if a game doesn't sell 5 or 8 million each installment Microsoft doesn't care about it.
Hell IMO Rare would have been better off with Sony. Even Fable could have turned out better than it did if Lionhead was under Sony. Sony's devs actually work together, and Lionhead could have had help from other Sony devs and Fable could have turned out much better than the shit that was Fable 2 & 3.
