This guy oni-link seems very, very suspicious for one he don't want the console to be called the Xbone which there is a rumour MS employes are not allowed to call it like that and that if you want to know which are viral marketers just ask them to call it the Xbone and they would not be able to do it.

Then the guy apparenlty is 34 years old and is still using emoticons and kinder garden assumptions and logic which the regular VGcharter would not use, I mean calling the Xbone the vastly superior looking console? Most people would tell you PS4 and Xbone look the same for now, later he says only pirates care about MS anti consumer policies, it looks very childish but in a different way like he was "acting" childish as if he were a 34 years old man trying to act like he thinks a forum dweller act.

I think oni-link is a marketer, just my opinion.

He is anti-Sony, that's why he wants Xbone to succed so much I think, just check his posting history, he's not new and was like that since I remember, I don't think he's a marketer, but who knows these days.

Yeah he seems very childlish. I belive he is a Nintendo fan, from his posting history.

hmmm...interesting so you guys think I'm a plant?  No one uses plants anymore, stop the paranoia. LOL

I just said that I don't think you are :P but considering Carl's recent thread about MS heavily employing viral marketers to try to spin the Xbone flaws... :P 

No joking, as I said I always viewed you as a Nintendo fan, and sadly a big time Sony hater voluntarily.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

It's hard to discuss about something when all you need to say is, "You're wrong" and that's that.

I live in America. Nobody cares about handhelds. Its and ipad/ipod dominated world. Also I'm pretty sure Microsoft isn't competing directly with Sony. The Xbox One is competing as far as games are concerned but they want the Xbox One to be a competitor to Apple TV just as much.

Not anti-Sony per se, but anti Sony Defense that cannot be named; which in this site seems very rampant.  I seriously doubt that any MS fan would vote against the X1.

exactly, thank you for stating this.  MS is going beyond the dying dedicated home console and be the jack of all trades with access to all of MS vast resources.

I live in America and I and a few others DO care about care about handhelds, i own Vita and 3DS so please dont generalize like you speak for all of us, you really dont. The OP says that MS could take out NINTY and SOny, he didnt say PS4 and WII U, he said the companies themselves, so all their gaming products are included. People dont care about handhelds? Is that why 3ds has been number 1 for months? Get real.

they are really grasping at straws, its becoming pathetic now.



"Blame the pirates, not MS."

This is pretty funny. As much as I talk about piracy killing the PSP, now someone states that piracy is the reason Microsoft did this to the consumer base, yet everyone constantly said the PSP died because it had no good games when the PSP has atleast 100 great games. Shows that a lot of peoples comments are only when it's beneficial to their own motives.

I've said this three or four times but hey, here goes again. The problem with Microsoft screwing people over with authentication and once every 24 hour online is that once the Xbox One is hacked pirates will not have to conform to the same rules as those who legitimately buying the game. Microsoft isn't stupid. They know that this type of DRM would do nothing if the system was hacked and pirated.

Microsoft knows there's no way to stop piracy if the system does get hacked. What they're doing with the DRM locked Xbox One is greed pure and simple. They want to get as much money from the customer as they can. This actually doesn't affect major used game retailers because while they have to pay a portion of the money that comes from used sales to Microsoft, they're guaranteed more used game sales because they're the only place to sell to. It hurts used independent retailers who isn't on Microsoft's list of authorized retailers. It hurts the gamers who want to sell their games for a reasonable price. If I don't like a game I don't collect it, so when I sell the game, I sell it on Ebay or Craigslist where I can get a decent amount of money from it rather than selling it to the likes of Gamestop or Amazon where I get screwed.

So everyone is getting screwed over so Microsoft can make more money. The 10 family member thing? That doesn't hurt the Xbox One over how much they're going to be making over limiting where you can sell your used games. Microsoft is going to be making bank by screwing their customers. 

*edit*

I just want to emphasize screwing over customers.  Prison rape style.  It's going to be painful(to your wallet) and you're not going to like it.
