Your only option then will be Wii U

PC and Steam are even stricter than the Xbox One.
PS4 is implementing the exact same thing besides the 24 hour online check.

So basically its retro consoles or Wii U for anyone who feels this way



Seems like you got it quite wrong... where have you been?

The thing is just never really attach yourself to a company. You are dollars to them.

The trick is to look at all platforms and accept the best and worst for each system and realize what each ones does best. Sometimes that means not buying one of course, but you should never just say.

"Teh xbox......its the sexiness and shall always be mah sexy...."

Same with sony and nintendo. Don't hold your eggs in one basket. If one starts doing the wrong things. Take note and move on to something without company loyalty being a qualm.

Truer words were never spoken on the interwebs! I mean i adore Sony, but i'de dump them in a heartbeat if they went this way. Companies need to be loyal to the customers, not the other way around.


Yep I'm not loyal to anyone. I was on the 360, went ps4 sold it and built a gaming pc. Wasted to much money on consoles with no demos. With pc I can get a demo of everything and of course the graphics.

According to who? You?

Most people i know are acutally excited for it, the used game policy is bs, but PC gamers have been dealing with that for years, console gamers can too.

Everyone i know hates it. Only 3 people of these 15 or so where ps3 only this gen, everyone is going PS4. That’s why there are consoles gamers. Less shit to deal with, now that’s out the window  why not just go pc and have the advantage of steams deep discounts? Get ready for the storm its coming.


Just because everyone you know hates it doesn't everyone else does. The Xbox one will do well, like it or not. 

And yes I do game on the PC, and i do have a steam account. Steam will never be on par with Xbox coming from someone who has been using both for years.


I don't think you consider X1 is doing well, do you?

You seem to know a lot about what consumer feel and think don't you? After MS success with Kinnect (fast selling consumer device of all time) i think people would have more faith in their business strategies.

Yea and sega was once a great console manufacture as well, that doesn't mean they will be again does it? Sony is marketing the PS4 as just a  games console therefore limiting a huge segment of its potential market. 

 

Right now Sony is, you’re right. But they've always had the multimedia box. They are marketing it to the people that are going to rush out and buy it day one. You really believe that lie? Yet another told by MS. Kinect still didn't help the xbox beat PS3. You know what help the ps3 beat the xbox? Games. 


Oh please i was not talking about the Kinect helping MS beat sony. I was talking about MS business strategies should not be underminded. They know what they are doing, before Kinect was released the interent laughed at Kinect saying it would flop, then it went on to become the fastest selling consumer electronic of all time. 

And I'm sorry but the ps3 was the sore loser this generation. Sony had the monopoly in the gaming industry with the ps2, and the ps3 destroyed that. Took Sony 7 years to catch up. And if games were the reason why ps3 beat the 360 (less then a month ago) why is that 360 version of games and exclusives sell better?


How have Kinect done Mr. Expert?

Don

XBO is doing great since it's doing better than the 360.... Aren't apple iPhone doing great even though they are far behind Samsung and even further if you take android as a whole???

And Kinect is being use daily to navigate the dashboard at my house saving us countless hours... I wouldn't do without voice commands now... And it has become a factor of choice for other products when they similarly time saving...

But yeah PS4 is doing ay better and Kinect could and should have been better.... Then again it took more than 15 years for touch screens to become truly useful on consumer devices.. And about the same for the www to become a key element of our daily lives in developed countries...
I could take the TV evolution or music playback devices as great example...kinect will be one day to voice command what the Walkman was to iPod or the Sony Ericson P800 is is o iPhone....

If you don't get an Xbox One, have you considered a PS4? You should try them both. Let us know what you decide.

I won't say I'm leaving the Xbox brand until I see what they offer at E3. So in 3 1/2 days my mind will be maid up.

OT: some of the online components do suck, I even cancelled my gold after 6 years as I feel it doesn't hold much value for me right now, but there are so many great games for the One. Want to check out Forza 6 this holiday myself.

The Xbone is a wise dropping-off point for many previous Xbox fans... Even if pressure from PlayStation and the gaming community have fortunately stifled many of Microsoft's draconian ambitions.

I also posted here that I would abandon ship if MS implemented the no used/rented game bullshit. Luckily they changed it, I bought one. I own all the consoles and for me it's been by far the best one. I know people like you who are bummed about Halo, but they made a calculated decision based on usage stats and figured this was the way to go. If it means a bigger and better looking campaign, I am all for it. But then again, the only Halo I played local co-op was the first one.

There are loads of amazing games. Check it out.
