Well Microsoft seems to only care about North America and Europe. For example, by doing the online check once a day, they are cutting out a large portion of their potential customers and this is proven by the current amount of Xbox Live members (46 million) in relation to the 77 million 360's sold. Already only 60% of their customers connect to the internet (that's a very optimistic estimate since most people have multiple accounts). By having an internet check, many potential customers in developing parts of the world will probably be turned away from getting an Xbox One.
Also, they clarified yesterday that you will be able trade your games at "participating retailers". Obviously these are going to be the major retailers in the larger markets - (North America, Europe). But what about people in Asian or South American countries? How will they sell used games? I doubt Microsoft will have participating retailers in every single market. This is a big reason why I am anrgy, because I most likely won't have a participating retailer where I live and so I won't be able to sell my games.

Hell, I've gotten used to paying <$15 for AAA titles on PC that haven;t even been out for half a year. It would be awesome if the console market moved towards that price scheme too.


That's pretty much why the PC mostly gets late ports of console games, and hardly any AAA exclusives.


Really I always assumed it was because of the massive piracy on PC. Which is why most devs swithced to consoles. It's the main reason CoDs main devs switched to home consoles rather than putting their efforts on the pc version. 

Yes, piracy combined with low sales price, along with higher development costs are among the reasons that PC gaming is in its current state.



So here is your demographic, people who don't care....like me. Reason? I'm old and have dough.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

It doesn't affect me at all, but it will affect other gamers, and that's my main problem with this DRM. Anyway, I think you should put a "See results" option. I'd like to know the reason people will buy the Xbox One even if I won't.

That's pretty much the main demographic of the xbox and gaming in general. The vocal "core gamer" group of late teens/early 20s is irrelevant to beancounters.

Just by looking at those votes I can tell people are trying to make us look bad...

Second hand doesn't really help the gaming industry at all... Not including GameStop only and other places similar.
DRM can be used to stop that, it's already on the PS3 for some games! You're already online anyway by commenting on this forum?!?

I think you should survey the people who are blindly attacking it ONLINE.

The average age for gamers is actually well into the 30's. Last I heard anyway.



I just want to see the poll results, can you add an option for that.

Otherwise I think your data will be fucked up.



I LOVE ICELAND!
