@Choco. To the guy you quoted: yet another glass half full point of view. The xbone is giving xbox fans a console with the content they like, with a list of exclusives that cater to their tastes. Of course if you look only into the negatives you will have no interest in the console. Sounds like a person trying to sway another away from a console that actually has something they might want....

This is ridiculous post and you are jumping to conclusions. Do not try to read so deep. Audios.

Nop.

lulz, best thread in a long time rol!

..6 months ago i was leaning sony but not certain. i've been happy with sony but i honestly though MS had a chance to run away with the market. they did a lot of thing right last gen and sony has been in their financial crisis. had MS come out really strong and sony weak i would have considered switching. ..especially now that sony is charging for online multiplayer the switch could have been easy.

but over the last few weeks i'm certain that A) sony won't get left behind and B) i prefer sony's vision of the future and the way they treat their customers.


..some of the later details certainly makes the initial reaction a bit of an over reaction but i still don't think MS is approaching things right. the market was trending to digital regardless -- they should have just let the transition happen naturally instead of "helping the transition along". i think that is going to alienate a lot of people and i don't think MS fully vetted the various things their new system has.

major nelson still dodged the question about if we can play our game in 20 years when servers aren't guaranteed. i still don't like the "participating" part of participating retailers, free market ftw. I still haven't seen any advantage to their new system to make the hassles worth while. the library thing is cool but sony has a somewhat similar thing going on as well without all the DRM BS.

..had MS has some good stuff in the details. had they just vetting the system a bit better it could have been amazing instead of overly complex and inconvenient.


so would i have bought an xbone? perhaps not but MS made my decision very very easy.

I was a Nintendo/PC gamer up until 2011 and even then the only reason I bought the PS3 over the 360 was because I liked the exclusives better. But I still liked the 360 and I was seriously considering the One because most of my friends had the 360 this gen and were just going to upgrade to the One.

Honestly it's not even really MS policies that are going to keep me away from the one. I don't like the policies, and I think that they are bad for the industry. But the One just has things I'd never use. I have no need for the TV feature, and I'm not a big fan of motion controls. So it makes no sense for me to spend $100 more for a less powerful system with things on it I have no use for.

Then you should be able to unplug it

You'd unplug itso it doesn't hear and see you? Isn't that going into tin-foil hat territory?

I actually like the idea behind Kinect and did consider an XBox One.

With that said, the fact that the PS4 is $100 cheaper, has no used game policy, and has the LBP series, Sony might be the better choice for me.

Wii U will be considered as well but likely after the PS4 if at all.

If it's truely off, why can't I unplug it

Wheres the "I wanted to wait to see what M$ had to offer" option?
