All around the industry it is called the XBone. I am sure you can find quotes where devs have even referred to it as such.

And what games exactly? Super Mario, NSMB, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Mario 3D, Mario Galaxy, Zelda, SSB, etc. Rinse and repeat. Nothing new or mature. Maybe they should try to make something aimed at the adult market for a change. Perhaps stop with all the Mario's as well.

So adult market or whatever type of games you like is "pure gaming"? Grow up.

I ask my question again. To OP and everyone who is trying to link the Xbone to disruption. In case you missed it.

Have.you.read.The.Innovator's.Dilemma?

Pure gaming is a mixture of kid, teen and adult games. Sony has all of these.

And perhaps you need to grow up and play games with great stories and brutal action too. My hatred of immature stuff doesn't necessitate the need for me to grow up.

No offense...................but how could you possibly come up with that conclusion using deductive reasoning?

The only "different direction" MS is going in, is telling their consumers what they can and can't do with their own bought-and-paid-for products, how they can play, etc. etc. They're dictating the customer what their gaming experiences are going to be, not giving the customer options. How in the WORLD could that possibly lead to them "taking out" Nintendo or Sony? Nintendo is more open policy to gamers and developers (especially indie devs) than they EVER have been. They support ZERO DRM policies, and require zero mandatory online. Sony doesn't have an ENFORCED DRM policy, but will allow publishers to use it at their discretion, and also (as of this time) have an "always online" type policy for the PS4.

The point is, both are more inviting and friendly towards the customer/IE the gamer, whereas Microsoft is telling customers that if they want to own their system, they're going to have to play by their rules. Kind of bullshit.

So again, where in any of that does it spell out Nintendo or Sony "going down" to MS?

Pure gaming is good games, regardless of who likes them.

Bold part makes me confident that you are the one who needs to grow up. I don't even have to comment on it, it speaks for itself.

I love how the op didn't like how is poll turned out so anti-microsoft and wants it removed. Hilarious.

Judging by the poll I would say this thread backfired.

I'm already 21 and growing by the day. Simply disliking Nintendo doesn't necessitate me to grow up. Neither does liking games with intriging storylines and brutal action. Maybe you should step out of the world of Mario and Pokemon and see for yourself.
