Microsoft recently explained the nature of its data-sharing, following claims that it has relinquished data from Skype calls, SkyDrive accounts and other services to comply with legal obligations placed on corporations as part of the PRISM strategy.

So before Microsoft got caught, they gave away our information freely, but now they are going to stop?

Oh no, they are just going to cover it up better......

I didn't see "Xbox" in the origional statement.

360 kinect isn't touched and looks like X1 won't be either.

It's still Microsoft. Your XBL account is still a Windows Live account, and Kinect is an extension of it now.

What you're saying is nonsense. No offence, but if Crysler made seriously defecting 300's, would you be as willing to buy a Sebring? No.

Same with Microsoft, they've already proven to us that they can and will violate our privacy. Just saying "we won't do it again" doesn't mean it won't happen. Microsoft is much more likely to violate our privacy then any other console manufacterer as it stands ATM.

MS didn't violate anything, they complied to govermental requests. if tomorrow the NSA contacts vgchartz with a court order and ask you to reveal all the private messages I sent on that site with valid ground, you do it and you stfu, it's not like you have the choice. So what MS did is pretty much what anybody does in the same situation they apply the law, if they can deny a request they do, if they can't they comply. simple as that
