In this kind of industry, if a rumor keeps popping up, time and time again and isnt disproved then it's most likely true, it sounds completely shit, and im not sure Microsoft are that oblivious to their consumers wants, i wonder what they are gaining from an always connected console?

What can Microsoft disprove it when it's not even exist?


Of course it exists, you act like its not even been in developement, silence is never a good thing

It's not exists,it's in development,but they never announce it,so it's not exists,to the public,and these medias,is reporting rumors to the public,even they confirm or deny it,that means they accidentlly announced the console,and let's say if they deny the "required online" rumor,then people will disscus something else like "why they didn't also deny block used games rumor?that must be true!",that's why they won't say anything about 720 since 

 

2011

You make a valid point, but its coming to a point where these rumors are being taken as facts, microsoft need to do something quick to stop this negative publicity

Well,mostly,just in gaming forum,publicity don't know what is 720 yet

that's just nonsense. This is PR we talking about. They can debunk these rumors if they want to without even mentioning a new console. They can just say we will continue to be consumer friendly and not alienate any gamer going forward or something similar. 

The only reason I can think of, IF this is not true, is that they think debunking the rumors at the reveal stage would create more hype. I personally don't think that's a good idea to wait that long. 

 

These medias are not talking about "every Microsoft software will require online or "360 will require online",it's "720 will require online",if they reply anything about these rumors,that means 720 just suddenly announced.

They won't even say anything even there is a postive rumor.

 


But like I said if they say they something similar to what I suggested they won't have to mention the console at all. I mean they don't 'have' to respond to a certain article/media outlet. Just a general statement

and who are we kidding? MS isn't as stupid to think people don't know there's a new xbox coming soon. They have teased it themselves in recent times. There is no big hurdle or negative impact of them making comments about their future plans/consoles. But like I said they might be thinking it will be a good idea to wait for the reveal to do this but I don't think it's a good idea. 

Why they need a general statement when 360 already don't need online to play games?if they do it,it must about 720,people in gaming fourm won't suddenly think "oh just a normal statement".

Actually,most people in real world don't know 720 is coming yet,only some gamer following gaming forums knows right now,they teased but don't mean they announced,plus their "tease" never give any even just a little details.

Btw,future plans?well,ok

This.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. This rumor has been posted by MULTIPLE websites over the past 6 months. It's not a re-hashed rumor either, these are different sources which are supposed to be reliable. IF THIS WAS FALSE, SOME DEVELOPER SOMEWHERE WOULD HAVE CONFIRMED IT TO BE FALSE, EVEN AS AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE.

Its ok to be in denial since this is still a rumor, but don't be surprised when this turns out to be true. If you think the Xbox negativity is bad now, brace yourself, there's a shitstorm incoming.

The most legit one being from Edge. They were spot on with the PS4.

Again, you honestly think people are that stupid to think MS won't be making any future consoles? Wtf is this logic. They don't have to mention ANYTHING ABOUT THE 720. Just say they will continue to be consumer friendly and value all customers going forward. See, that kind of statement/comment will NOT make any mention of a specific console. Just that they will continue the same path they have as before. Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand

and I never said they have been doing it....I mean if they were all these negativity won't be around and all these rumors would be put to rest. My argument is that they SHOULD take some steps to tone things down a bit. Either this is true or as I said multiple times they think it's wiser to wait until the actual reveal, which I disagree with.

On another note, a user said the following over at gaf

So I don't get many inside scoop honestly and I'll never put my GAF account at risk so take it with more than a grain of salt but my good friend at Treyarch, the one who told me about COD:blops2 back in the wust days when it wasn't announced yet, told me that:

online connection is indeed required to start games for the first time
kinect integration like manu navigation is mandatory for every game but it's actually done at system level
used games are not blocked per se

Hardly breaking-news info but I thought maybe someone would have been interested in such speculation nontheless

It is smoke but it mentions nothing about whether an internet connection is required or not. Like I said before, the only thing Gamestops comment could possibly mean is that the next Xbox will play used games. I don't expect it to be like this gen though, there will most likely be a sytem-wide online-pass type of thing for all games.

They SHOULD NOT say anything,until the announcement,because it doesn't matter since just gamer in gaming forum disscusing that,it's so stupid fall in a media trap that easy,let them anxious.

Btw why posting a neogaf random member reply to me?i mean,it sounds not bad,gaf should posting something more negative
