The more time goes on since the Xbox One reveal the more negative information filters through: Anti-consumerism with regards to used games, anti-privacy with Kinect always being on and now it's been revealed that the One is going to be region locked.

Microsoft seem to be doing everything they can to fuck up this console launch.

I can see both the PS4 and One being over $400, my personal guesstimate - considering the hardware we know that's in each machine and Kinect/camera bar included with every console - would be $499.99.

Given the anti-consumerism, (likely) high retail price and anti-privacy I personally think that even if the One has the best E3 in Microsoft's history with the best software since sliced bread that the console is REALLY going to struggle to sell. I can't see it selling over 30m myself and may even struggle to beat the 21m sales that the GameCube managed.

What do you think..?

BS. Rumors have allready been addressed and debunked.

- Kinect can be turned off in privacy settings

- No fee for used games,

- Can still trade in games normally

Its just the once per day internet check in (which will be addressed I assure you), and the DRM (lending games to a friend without signing in to your own profile), which Sony is rumored to do themselves.

3 cons down, 2 to go (1 if Sony adopts DRM too, thus cancelling it out).

Microsoft guys have been contradicting each others for days. Why do you only keep the rumours that pleases you ?

Why do haters only keep the rumors that please them?

Difference is I believe MS is at its core, trying to please everyone. The sales do depend on willing money spenders after all.

The haters just wanna watch them fail.

Dat logic, they wasted millions in R&D for DRMs and would stop, 6 months from launch because of a bad feedback ? Or all this is a misunderstanding ?

Bad feedback forces changes in businesses all time from different industries, R&D be damned.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
