Forums - Microsoft - EDGE 'always on, always connected' Durango SDK leak is real

zhao3gold on 21 March 2013

It is funny, isn't it? Some people here cannot help themselves to declare PS4 will dominate next gen even before both systems are launched in the market.

Well, at least, PS4 and nextXbox needs to catch at least 7millions gap from Wii U, which I think it is not so easy.

Great news. i prefer a market without Microsoft anyways. Am i glad i had already decided to ditch them after the 360. The thing is only gonna get worse.


Why?


Quite honestly cause they dont care about their costumers. We have been almost forced to get Xbox live gold, they stoped making new games or getting exclusives and all they do is rehash the same 4 IP's, moving to kinect and the average consumer in the process. On top of that they all but left the console to rot in the last 2 years. They only want to rack up as much money as they can without moving a finger. I dont really want that kind of company in the market. They add nothing positive to it. Just leeches after your every penny.


Wow, this point of view is absolutely not what my feeling about it is... I think it is sad that you have this opinion but it's not arguable, opinion is opinion. But I think there has to be competition - if Sony dominates the market I don't see why this could be good for gamers (my opinion). I am glad that not everyone has your opinion (though I feel many on this forum have). And really, also Sony leeches after your money. They all want our best: our (pocket ;)) money!

Game installs, next xbox will be hacked easily that's why they are talking about DRM.


Oh, Sony won't allow game installs?

What some people really don't get is that when msft fails sony gamers will feel it too... Why do you think this gen spawned some of the greatest exclusives ever made? Not because they were dominating. No because of the fierce competition, they needed something to be special; great games. So less competition will also mean less great games.
So i really hope some sony fans know what they are wanting... I want all three to succeed

They said back in 2005 that the 360 would be always connected too:

"It is always online"

"The console will also be always online"

"We think about Xbox 360 as being always connected..."

Nintendo also exists, its not just Sony. They are all companies and are after my money, but its the way they go around to do it that makes the difference.

Yes, there is Nintendo but they aren't really competition to MS or Sony. They have another target audience than Sony and MS for sure, way less 3rd-party-support... And sure it makes a difference to you, as everyone can read in your posts. It's ok the way it is, nothing to argue about. Others just have other opinions :)

Of course that a 2 way hardware market would be very different from the 3 way we have now. The technology leap would probably be smaller and the market wouldnt be so cutt-throat for developers and publishers because development costs wouldnt rise as dramatically as they have. That is perfectly fine though. I have my opinion and others have their own. I dont go about trying to harass them for it, like someone on this thread tried to do with me. :)

Mandatory installs will be pretty damn annoying. As if consoles aren't already PC lite.

The big questionmarks still remains unresolved.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Says nothing about blocking used games don't know where anyone got that from this article. I also see nothing wrong with any of this to be perfectly honest.
