Oh c'mon nobody here thinks that X1 can take out Wii U or PS4 out of the industry after this gen? Really!!!?


I think they can the X1 is clearly a future proof device, Sony and Nintendo are just delaying the inevitable. Anyone who cannot see that clearly lives in a bubble and refuses to see truth.


The gaming industry has its standards and we Apples standards are not our own. Microsoft doesn't speak for gamers, they never and they never came into this industry to, so they so they should stop forcing us into their plans to beat Apple. Full digital isn't going to stick until 10-15 years from now. Console gamers value their game ownership. Apple isnt a gaming company and their products are made for the general public. If they want to make an AppleXbox one then so be it, they just dug their own graves and alienated millions of gamers with their own greed.

Than who speaks for gamers? Sony? Nintendo? Please just like MS they have their own agenda which is to mint as much money for their customers as they can. MS can do two things at once if they want too, Apple is becoming a bigger threat to them than any other company. I could elaborate more but i honestly could give a fuck. You have your opinions i have mine.

10-15 years? Are you kidding me? Its going to happen a whole lot sooner. Look at the Music industry their going full digital real soon. Gaming going to follow whether you like it or not. The Xbox is not going to roll over and die like many of you hope. If the RROD did not kill them, used game policies and interent requirments definitely wont.

You do know that music and video games are two entirely different types of media, right? Music is widely distributed digitally because the files are very small (a few megabytes) and thus, are very easily distributed. Video games, on the other hand, are several times larger than songs. Just look at MGS4. The game took up all of a double-layered Blu-Ray rom (50 gigs) and that's a current gen title. 10-15 years may be a little far fetched, but it will still take a long while for digital distribution of video games to be widely used.

As for the bolded, that's a non sequitor. Used game policies and internet requirements are very different problems from the RROD problem.
