what's wrong with the name Xbone? It's just a shortened name (also sounds alot better as a name then Xbox One)


Oh stop it!!! YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE REASON!!!

 

Anyways...would editing the thread allow me to take out the option of 'themselves?' on the poll?  It was a un-intended option I accidently put in.  Thanks!!!

You mean for a walk, right?


yeah a walk to the curb.  Really the X1 is looking kinda' nice, despite the price.  With a subsidizing with LIVE to $399 or $299 I could see it really taking off especially with all it's exclusives and Microsoft's vast resources ($$$) that could outspend both Nintendo or Sony.

You know that microsoft is having a hard time right now, outclassed in the server market, a flop on the mobile phone market, a flop in the tablet market, and the lowest rate of uptake (windows 8) on any new windows OS since BOB.  The company may have a lot of resources, but they are still stretched pretty thin right now.

Sony the company does not have many bright spots outside of thier gaming division.

Nintendo is a gaming only company, with a portable system that is dominating and huge cash reserves....

MS's only real advantage is the anticompetitive tactics it has always used, pay people to snub your competitors to make you look better... rather than spend money to make your self better. (timed exclusives, not anouncing the new COD for WiiU until after E3, what ever EA says and then has to retract quietly later, sending MS staff to WiiU events, and so on)

I still can't believe he wants to remove the poll, if he creates a new one he will only get the same result. It's the first sign towards insanity


Obviously if he fixes it so the answers are Nintendo, Sony or Both, then he will see a result he wants.



I think pigs can fly!

Or... i would if i followed the same line of thought.

Oh c'mon nobody here thinks that X1 can take out Wii U or PS4 out of the industry after this gen? Really!!!?


I think they can the X1 is clearly a future proof device, Sony and Nintendo are just delaying the inevitable. Anyone who cannot see that clearly lives in a bubble and refuses to see truth.


The gaming industry has its standards and we Apples standards are not our own. Microsoft doesn't speak for gamers, they never and they never came into this industry to, so they so they should stop forcing us into their plans to beat Apple. Full digital isn't going to stick until 10-15 years from now. Console gamers value their game ownership. Apple isnt a gaming company and their products are made for the general public. If they want to make an AppleXbox one then so be it, they just dug their own graves and alienated millions of gamers with their own greed.

Finally another logical person on this site.

Thanks lol

 

and for your other reply yea its really sad tbh. For years now sony fanboys have been bashing MS for charging for online saying why should they pay extra to access a part of a game they already bought and other blah blah blah. Now that sony is doing it, it suddenly makes sense to them -_-

Don't get me wrong I love playstation it has some of my favourite games on it such as GOW, but the blind bashing is annoying. Some people need to take a step back look at the bigger picture.

The thing I find ridicoulous about this thread is not Xbox beating everybody in sales but kicking PS and Ninty out of the industry ... I mean Nintendo lost their marketshare with the n64 and GC and look at them here they are , alive and kicking ... there is no way somebody is going to get kicked out of the industry in a generation ...


Hey...every analyst is saying it so I am just including it because of that.  Also with Sony's financials in trouble I don't know if they can get into a long, battle for the entertainment area of the living room with MS!!!  I also don't think PS4 is going to be significantly going to out power the X1 like many Sony fans would like to make it seem.  If anything the games on E3 showed the opposite with Sony fans pathetically asking for a TitanFall port.

1.) Sony is not in financial trouble. It made a profit over the last fiscal year. In addition, up until last year, Sony's losses shrunk each year.

2.) The difference will not be significant in multiplats, but more so on exclusives. The PS4 has 2 more gigs of RAM available for games than the XBone and the PS4 uses GDDR5 RAM rather than DDR3. Also, if the esRAM issues are true, then the XBone will be underclocked to only half the power of the PS4. Regardless, 1.5 times more power is significant enough. NaughtyDog, Quantic Dream, and SantaMonicaStudios haven't even announced their PS4 games yet.

3.) Sony fans are speculating that Titanfall will be ported a year after the XBone version is announced. Speculation =/= Asking for a port. Your argument is invalid.

I can see that



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Than who speaks for gamers? Sony? Nintendo? Please just like MS they have their own agenda which is to mint as much money for their customers as they can. MS can do two things at once if they want too, Apple is becoming a bigger threat to them than any other company. I could elaborate more but i honestly could give a fuck. You have your opinions i have mine.

10-15 years? Are you kidding me? Its going to happen a whole lot sooner. Look at the Music industry their going full digital real soon. Gaming going to follow whether you like it or not. The Xbox is not going to roll over and die like many of you hope. If the RROD did not kill them, used game policies and interent requirments definitely wont.
