Yikes. Man, they are really getting arrogant, and quite dickish, over at MS.

Well maybe they're getting tired of answering the same questions. We all know its an online console and its intended for consumers with internet access.

MS doesn't anticipate everyone getting it. Its an odd decision, but its the decision they made.

i dont understand here..
Sony used to be very arrogant when the PS3 launched but they had a lot be arrogant about. they had won 2 gens in a row (by a landslide) and had the 2 highest selling systems of all time. Ms are being so arrogant here like 'yeh we are the boss' when both gens they have come in they have come in 3rd place.. they have nothing to be arrogant about

True, lol.  I guess to them the US=The World, and they know they'll end up #1 in the US when all is said and done.  Still, when you finish 3rd WW, there's really nothing to be arrogant about.


i dont get why everyone thinks America is locked in. these current 360 owners in the US where PS1/PS2 owners before when they dominated the US market. Sony released a system to expensive and Ms undercut them on price and managed to get a big enough hold on america for the gen. this could easily go back to sony land. 

Well, I was talking about 360 being #1.  I do agree, there is a very good chance that the US could go back to Sony.  In fact, Sony is the only console maker that the US favored 2 gens in a row.  Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Sony, and then MS.  I think with the $100 price advantage and simultaneous release, it's a very good chance.

C'mon guys! The only other answer would be get any other console.


But the 360 IS a different console than One

That's going to be Microsoft's version of "get a second job".

I think MS will try to stick out it's current direction, but it will ditch it all if Xbone sells like Xbox original.

regardless of all the bickering here,why are microsoft even leaving the door open for sony/nintendo in the USA,it seems like a crazy way to go,i think they know their market well but this is not good to leave some/certain people no option but to buy the competition

sweet no more need to boot out people with spotty internet connection lol.... you guys make me laugh... no internet connection, then get lost.... don't see the problem with that it's like people bitching when they cut of hertzian analog broadcasting... this is the 21st century... last time i had an internet connection under 3mbps was prior 97.... I lived in 3 different countries in town going from 2k+ inhabitants to megapolis with million.... if you have a bad internet connection in a developed country today you should sue your ISP... not bitch against a company embracing a new era of computing....
even in cities in developing countries I have been in the past couple years I had no major issues...

and you guys really think they didn't check if the majority of their current install base didn't have what's needed before making that choice???? come on people get real, this will be a non issue for most of us that don't live in a cave.... for the rest tough luck....
but get use to it cloud computing is so far the only viable future for computer technology.... always on and digital only is gonna be the standard so you better get use to it old farts.... that's the 3rd millennium for you....

Well, when you do not give proper answers you should expect more questions.

 

If they took the time to properly explain exactly how everything will work then things can move forward. However, they have shown that they just don't give a shit.

So When I travel to our holiday home with NO internet access due to its remote location, I best not bother taking the Xbox One along for the ride.

Nice one "Dicky Don Mattrick"

Oh wait, I see he used to work for EA. Suddenly things are a lot clearer.
