You have your points, but dont try to assume you know my age. It devalues your whole post.

I do wonder if the Xbox one will be able to ever sell as much as the 360 did though. I think the pluses dont make up for the minuses.

Me assuming your age doesn't devalue my post at all, as I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you are young and may not be as knowledgable of the integration of features and services into technology.

No, you devalue yourself when you don't fairly take all logical perspectives into consideration when you post.  If you're old enough to know how technology has evolved to integrate features and services, then you undermine your own point and argument by ignoring the fact that it happens and it IS a benefit to consumers. 


The arrogance is astounding. I dont care about the evolution of technology i care about what i pay my money for. That is maybe the logic you missed.

And if the Xbox One and the PS4 both are $400 or ­£400 or whatever the currency is where you are, how does the added value that Microsoft is delivering detract from the value of the console?  If for the same price, you get more features in the box with the Xbox One, wouldn't that make it a better value regardless of whether or not you think those features are important to you now or not?

While there is nothing wrong with people looking at lowest cost of ownership for an experience, regardless of features, people do tend forget that extra features like this which they have to pay extra for don't cancel the existing features which are already known to deliver the goods and don't occur any extra cost.

 

Here is an image I like to refer to esplaining this:

 

I think the gaming community has a beef with Xbox One in general as it isn't solely focused on gaming and they completely disregard that it most likely will be one hell of a gaming console without all the TV stuff. The problem is that focusing on existing features and users doesn't expand markets, and the moment youre not growing and expanding a market, you are seen as dead in the corporate world.
