What does this imply about XBone?

I hear MS is trying to mimic steam with their system design, so we might see $5 games on XBL and if they are linked to our profile, we keep them for life, even on future consoles. MS could (I doubt it though) pull a 180, just like Sony....or realistically pull a 360.

Gotta love that Phil Harrison is with MS now lol, hey maybe there is something there.
I mean like sony was the one that was hated last gen and Phil was leading the Charge, Maybe he is just bad luck for company's cuz hes with MS now and look at them.

Could you provide a link for this quote, it's just i have heard of this quote but i have actually never seen it and i believe it to be a misquote.
Not questioning you personally I just need to see some proof behind it.

TRUST is the key word. Gabe said even if Steam were to ever go down in the future, they will make sure there is a way to download all games DRM free prior to that happening. MS never made any promise of future compatibility, and even if they did I wouldn't believe them unless it was a written contract.

And as for the pricing of their services? Look at precedents with GFWL or the 360 market place for retail games, the former was on an open platform with competition and they still wouldn't come to the table.

Nope no trust there at all man.

Its not a quote, its a catch phrase made up by journalist reporting on an infamous speech by Ken Kutaragi "we want consumers to think, 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."

This was picked up by several media and the phrase 'get a second job to buy a PS3' went viral.

Maybe. Personally I am in agreeance, but most console owners aren't well educated about games. Plus MS has the power of advertizing, and appealing to Americans who only buy domestic products since it's "good for the economy."

One will do well, but we all hope PS4 and Wii U will do a lot better. I don't trust MS, but I trust Sony and Nintendo.

Actually I don't trust Sony 100% either, they're doing the right thing now but they are a corporation just like MS and they've proven in the past that they can pull off just as much bullshit as MS. However, their current policy with the PS3 and PS4 is consumer friendly and for that they've earned by dollars. If they continue the status quo and make game that I enjoy playing I'll continue to throw money at them.

And I am fairly certain I'm the type of customer they love. The type that buys every game possible brand new - day one, never trade-in and have a collection of over 100 games on the PS3 and maybe finished around 30 of them because I'm so time starved :P.

Yes I do.

ps3 has no games

ps3 sux

ps3 will do a dreamcast

ps3 is rubbish

ps3 is too exprnsive

blah blah blah

So what you're saying is that the console with the most negativity going in will be the console with the most sales going out?

So far this gen is a polar opposite of last.

Wii was flying off store shelves, Wii U is barely selling 30,000 per week.

PS3 was critisized for being to expensive, One has that problem now

360 was seen as the console for gamers, now its PS4
