If this next gen would end tomorrow, I probably would agree with you but this will be a long battle and what people care about today might not be the case tomorrow. The thing is, can the X1 be that end all device that has great games and great features. Price isn't everything and a lot of people I talk to really do not care about DRM. Its way to early to announce MS demise but I would say that they will have to give up something in order to fight the negative press. Starting games on X1 40 bucks probably would be a good start.

Oh, I didn't mean to come off as ms is doomed or anything. I just meant that Microsoft really bought their a game, but still couldn't overcome Sony really. Ms still has a chance with next gen.

Ahh but things are not over yet. Because of MS DRM, what if they dropped games to 40 or even 30 because of their restrictions and Sony still have to charge 60. Of course this is just pie in the sky type of thinking about with MS system so locked down, it could happen to negate Sony no DRM.

Microsoft just lost Latin America and the rest of the third world. Still getting the system as I love Halo, but it is what it is. PS4 is looking hot now.

While most of what we saw today was good, it kind of has a bitter taste to me, it's still bread with the same, Guns, Zombies, Cars, MMO, Guns, Cars, MMO, Zombies, oh and Guns. yeah...

Bit upset with Microsoft and the Xbone atm. MS brought the games, but Sony brought the thunder a along with not many games. ;(

You shouldn't. Xbox one is still gonna sell very well despite all the used game/drm policy BS cause they showed games that loyal xbox fans can't resist.

I don't feel bad for Ms because they showed themselves to be the type of company that I warned many that they were. MS isn't even in the games industry because of tames. They show no passion outside of monopolistic drive, multimedia and consumer manipulation and control aspirations.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think ms has the power to dictate the price of games. I think there is a standard set in the industry, lets say ms could, it would be first party only. There's no way in hell are 3rd parties going to charge cheaper

You should Not feel bad... how dare Ms sell me game licenses... stupidity!
