This is a terrible article. 

First off, they talk as if it's completely IMPOSSIBLE to appeal to both the hardcore and casual demographics. Microsoft sucessfully appealed to both demographics with the 360/Kinect. They did it, no matter how you spin it. The author also bashes all motion controls calling them gimmicks, and doesn't appear to even like local multiplayer??? (He also said "on a motion free next gen console" bullshit) He also bashes microtransactions, even though big publishers like EA are embracing them, so does that make them casual too? 

Microsoft is all about casuals now, they cared for the hardcore but that changed once Kinect came along.

You know now what MS with NextBox is about? Interesting. I recently read about PSeye, sharing features, next PS more social, aiming for the central device of the living room... sounds somehow not so hardcore...

Sony has been aiming for the center of the living room before Microsoft came. The difference between Sony and Microsoft is actually quite simple to understand. They dont let the first and second party games get overshadowed by the functionality of the console.

Who was first is irrelevant. But thanks for posting your opinion, we will see how it will turn out for gamers.

Wow!

You are so disrespectful of others it's not even funny. You go into every thread and constantly 'thank' people for their opinions, it's disgusting to see.

You need to realize that most comments here are opinions and people are intelligent enough to know this. If you can't handle opinions that are different than yours, then just say nothing and stop bothering everyone with your sarcastic and fake thank yous.

This is a forum and the MAIN REASON people come here is to express their opinions. Do us all a favor and try to understand that.

I do understand this but some people don't differentiate between facts and opinion. There are ways to express opinions with words and ways to show facts (posting links or comments, for example). I don't care what you think about me but I won't change my behavior.

A shame, but it's not like i expected anything else.

I didn't either.
