1) 10 dollars cheaper with more features is better than 10 dollars more expensive with less features.

Are you kidding me?! We *don't* have any details regarding XBL on Xbone. I asked you for more details, you don't have them. So keep your mouth shut regarding features.

2) If you can stream high quality video and sound, you won't be getting 100 ms ping from any shooter, unless the server is on the other side of the world.

As I said you don't understand the tech. And nice you didn't answer to the other things like only selected games and only in US in 2014. But I didn't expect anything other.


1) Maybe we don't know about X1's online features because they lack any.

2) I explained why you wouldn't need fast internet to use this service. You disagreed saying "You don't understand the tech." Exactly what would I be streaming that would require me to have top tier internet speeds? ---------------- (Checkmate incoming)

Wow, that was quite a fail.

I explained in several posts why you need to have decent internet. You didn't explain anything, you stated. And it was wrong because your view is too simplified.

I know, thanks. You are responsible to your position, I just used your failures.

I dont live in America so i don't really understand, but is the Xbox brand really that much more popular than PlayStation?

I just find it odd that people would just dismiss PlayStation as 2nd tier because M$ won US this gen. I think people tend to forget how easily Sony/Nintendo won and also lost the US.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

i dont understand these sony gamers, how hard is it to get a one time activation.

It's not a one time activation. If your console acts funny and you need to reset it to factory settings you'll have  to download the patch again.

And that's where one of the issues lie. No one knows how hard it will be to get the patch down the road.

This is a problem mainly for launch window X1s, as I'm sure later consoles will have the patch preinstalled.

This will only affect the first batch of consoles. The vast majority will have the patch intergrated into the system.

 

Also you can download Xbox 360 system updates on Xbox.com
It's likely that you can just download the day one patch there as well. Then just keep it on a PC, flash drive or somewhere else.

Halo... Gears of War.... Forza.... Fable? Each alone can arguably sell system.  All about the game, as it should be :)

I think many assume there is some kind of 'home grown brand loyalty' for the US. Yet if that was the case, Xbox (1?)..the first Xbox would have beaten the PS2, it didn't.

Bad pricing on PS3 killed it in the US, $600 was a mistake. When it's competitors were far cheaper. You are right, all consoles easily lost as well as gained in markets. I think the $100 price difference will be a key thing for those who just don't care and are buying a gift for their kid. $100.



Hmm, pie.

That is no doubt will be true. Sony has lost the US market to M$ and no matter how hard they try is all over for them.

Before the change in MS policies today the Xbone was really loosing US to PS4... that will change now.


MS's only issue was price. they won the marlet by offering the same product at a better price. Now with out the added features they had, they are more xpensive with nothing to show for it. I dont thin this will help them any. they would need a price cut to make a difference now.

EXACTLY! Someone gets it!


Isn't this what everyone was fighting for? They all said to remove the pointless DRM. I guess now we see the point... Also I don't understand how you complain about downloading a patch but tout the PS4s online features. Plus there has never been a MS console that could be reset to factory settings so where are you getting that from?



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

People weren't fighting for the removal of family sharing or against having your digital games available in the cloud. They wanted off-line play and disc ownership, next to digital. There is no reason not to keep the digital side the same as planned as a big incentive to get people to transition to digital over time. There must be more going on that MS completely nixed the family sharing plans. If it was all in place why not simply keep it for digitally bought licenses.
