I LOVE GIGGS said:
- Kinect is mandatory: the fact that everyone will own the souped up motion controller means it might finally be able to reach its full potential. I hate motion controllers.
- The controller is king: Xbox controller is arguably one of the best ever. Arguably. I prefer the Dualshock.
- Innovation: Although it's now canned, the DRM meant that discs weren't needed after the initial install and all your games could be played on another Xbox. Not only that but the (also defunct) Family Share feature would have slashed costs for households and allowed you to nominate 10 "family members" to access your library. It shows, at least, that Microsoft is trying to innovate and drag us into the digital era. What?
- HDMI In: Watching the televised football while hacking zombies to death would be great. Yeah... I don't like to play while watching something else.
- Xbox Live still trumps PS+: PlayStation Plus is now mandatory to play online so the whole argument about the exorbitant cost of Live has been watered down somewhat. PS+ > Live
- The games look great: Sony's exclusives didn't show such a great leap forward from current gen titles for me. No game has shown a great leap yet.
Xbox and PlayStation owners can rest assured, however, that whichever system they opt for, this generation is shaping up nicely. For me, it's the Xbone that's going to be first out the box - purely because its promise and potential seems far greater. The PS4 can wait.
