Yes because it is more rationnal to judge the next Xbox (the one you have no clue about until MS annonce it officialy) based on all the rumors you listed.
You do not seem to be more rationnal than anyone else.

I go by the information I have. When information is confirmed I'll adjust or stand by my statements now. That's how being rational works, you adapt to the information available to form logical deductions.

 

 

Well, guess what, people not believing to negative rumors or believing to positive rumors only are exactly as rationnal as you are...
The information you "have" is not "available" by any mean; it is nothing but speculation until you "choose" to believe them...

Also it is strange how the information available to you seems to only be based on "negative" rumors and nothing from the positive ones

Name a positive rumor.

DVR type recording of gameplay for starters.

There is nothing I like more than to record my gameplay! Woot!

Sorry but that isn't a positive for me, neither is the share button for ps4. Worthless.

I just know that Sony made its "eyetoy " look like Kinect instead of MS remodeling theirs to resemble that monocle with a speaker/mic.

And MS never created a killer app to compete with their cometitors: Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart,Tomb Raider etc...

Huh? Forza ring any bells? What about Kinect Sports?

And by Tomb Raider are you referrign to Uncharted? Tomb Raider is a 3rd party game By Square Enix, not exactly a "competitor" to Sony in any way.

read the whole OP. 

Saw nothing positive.

More like twitter/facebook? Fuck that.

Recording gameplay - worthless, like I said already. Just as the share feature for ps4 is worthless IMO.

More achievements -I could see this being positive for some people. I just don't care about achievements/trophies; they detract from my enjoyment of the game.

That's a half-positive. You do know DVR tech is expensive right? It usually comes with a monthly subscription fee.
Then there's the question if every single Xbox 720 will come with DVR tech or only the one with 2year contracts. Again, we don't have the final details and this feature has been overshadowed by the more negatives ones.

You can't blame people for focusing on the negative more than the positive. That's just how the media in general works. There's no conspiracy against Microsoft if that's what some of you think. I'll leave you with what the mods have to say on this as this should have put an end to this discussion pages ago. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5312483

"yeah I don't get the surprise here.  People don't like the rumors they're hearing.  Since that's all there is to go on at the moment then the nextbox is getting a lot of hate.  Seems pretty rational.  How much stake people should put in rumors is debatable, but since that's basically all we have to go on now and the bulk of the rumors have been negative the nextbox gets a lot of hate.  "

It would be a waste of my time... You are obviously very biased... Even being comparable to the PS4 is negative to you...
You know, everything is a personnal oppinion at the end. And whatever we are going to list can be dropped as "not a positive rumor to you", so what is the point. My advice would be to just stop calling out other members about irrationnalities when you are yourself acting like that :)

Some guys love to be the center of attention. I hate it when we ignore that and play along. Just imagine a thread just with "pro one side" comments...(nothing against); it would be similar to the saddest form of jerking off. Yeah, i know it is annoying when they invade / hijack threads. (Imagine N4G without a single pro MS comment).
