Yeah I really don't see how a game like BF could make it's money back if they made it for only Xbox especially if that console was demonized like I'm sure it would be if it were the only DRM and always on (check in whatever) console.

You don't see....the backlash itself, from every gaming web site, is from disgruntled Xbox gamers. They far outnumber the ones searching for positives. I don't know how to make it any clearer......the backlash, this negative PR shitstorm......is caused by not only Sony fans faning the flames, but by mostly Xbox gamers that want better.

Wow......

So there is no pr backlash. The conference went well. There is no problem with MS here.......oh wait.

The ones looking for positives pale, and I mean pale in comparison to the tens of thousands that are expressing outrage on the internet. These aren't just SOny fans, but Xbox gamers that want better.

Proof? lol everyone is going nuts now all of a sudden.....this is common sense. Any 3rd party gaming forum and web site, YT, etc. has so much outrage from many gamers.

There is no ratio of whos a Sony fan fanning the flames and which ones are disgruntled Xbox gamers. I say gamers, not fans, so that includes fans but also neutral gamers who buy a Xbox as a secondary console. The outrage , from a common sense standpoint, is from gamers with some interest in Xbox who want it to be better. Either that, or its all Sony fans who have nothing better to do then spread hate. As much as I would like to believe the 2nd point, its more likely the first.

I think e3 will help relieve some of the bad press for M$, but i totally agree, people are mad because they want better for the hundreds of $$$ they will be spending without getting punished.

The way things are going i will be going the illegal mod route, no drm can contain my gaming.

I haven't seen that at all. I have seen the Sony fans enjoying themselves, and I have seen multi console owners sick with Microsoft not pulling their weight and becoming anti-consumer. But Xbox fans? It's all "Why the XB1 will win", "Kinect 2.0 is the next-gen killer feature" and "The cloud means XB1 is more powerful". I don't see how anyone could care about any of that until they sort this out.

If they did care, we would have #XB1NoDRM by now. Sony fans are fighting against Sony for something that has only been rumoured, but we aren't seeing something similar for something that has been confirmed.

I am a bias person. I have an eye for PS fans. But I am aware of it. I try to see the ratios of fans I see vs non fans.

Ever consdiered that a good chunk of said complaining and protesting on ALL gaming forums are Xbox fans? An Xbox fan can't hate on MS? Do not confuse all protesters as Sony fans and neutral gamers......Xbox fans are among them too. Xbox.com forums have plenty pleas from 360 diehards......Xbox fans don't have to use the exact same method Sony fans are using.

You act like MS hasn't heard the pleas...... I am shocked by your statement. Shocked. MS has heard the backlash loud and clear. There is no need for a twitter movement. They know. Real world news outlets, gaming journalism, business analysists, and gaming forums everywhere have made it perfectly clear.

You haven't seen it at all......youve seen it non-stop for the last week and a half! Xbox fans are among those upset. For every one trying to stay positive, you have seen dozens voicing concern and you dismiss it as a Sony fan or a neutral gamer.

Thank you for kicking a minority fanbase when they are down, saying  the majority don't care and aren't passionate........you (among others who think this) really want to make Xbox fans look inferior in every regard.

And how dare you shit on people for trying to stay positive, because there is NOTHING wrong with waiting until there is official clarification on these matters.

I really hope he didn't say "dearth". Because if he did, then I don't think he knows what it means.

"Dearth" means scarcity - so it's saying "the lack of messages... is powerful and humbling".

Not at all. I don't want to knock Xbox fans. I want the XB1 to be a good console, and I would support any movement to make that happen. Right now, all I have seen is the complaining on forums and the response from gaming journalism, and I am only going by what I have seen. If you look through the Microsoft Discussion forum there are a lot of positive XB1 threads. And I personally see each of these as a roadblock to fixing the problem.

I'm sorry if I sound like I am attacking the fanbase. It is just that I believe if the gaming community as a whole is as negative as possible about this (to both Microsoft and Sony) then the problem will be fixed by launch. A miserable time for Xbox fans now (rather than pretending things are ok) means a great console later.

another thread with no real answer on what Sony will do :P

their silence is worrying
