I'm sorry i had to stop reading at evil ms.
I fail to see how ms is a evil corp. they rank among the highest in CSR in the industry. For those who do not know what CSR means it stand for corporate social responsibility, google it and educate yourselves.
Just because they want your money doesn't make them evil, they are a business its kinda of the point. Its pathetic how people act like sony is a non-profit organization, they really don't give two shits about you and to think otherwise shows how delusional some of you sony fans really are.


i was taking the piss.. its was a joke.

 

its crazy how delusional some of you xbox fans are. 


sure it was ;) 

Lets be real a lot of sony fans use the whole "M$ is evil!!! all they wantz is our $$$"  card a lot, they second they get called out on it they backpedal.

How will dropping the "Tv stuff" make the console better? It certainly wouldn't drop the price. And what exactly does "Tv stuff" refer to anyway?


its has a TV tuner it or something doesnt it? the thing is the size of a house and the Ps4 is estimated to be 50% more powerfull but about 40% smaller.. something is taking up all that room in there! smaller system - smaller price. 

Given the price is locked in with Kinect, it wouldn't hurt to keep pushing the TV agenda.....behind the scenes so we don't get pissed lol

There is still a ton of potential to have the X1 replace your traditional cable box. Hopefully MS can make deals with major cable providers to offer the option.

I think the potential of for the TV stuff is interesting, but I do have some questions on what's actually available on day 1.  



I'm quite sure that rumor that MS first party games were behind was probably true. I'm looking forward to a 2014 and beyond being filled with awesome first party games. Just because the game is 3rd party exclusive doesn't bother me at all since it's still only on that console.

I would love to buy one at some point but the price here will be insane and most of the TV offerings probably won't work. Maybe in the future at the end of the gen I'll get one.

"...360 is a junk". What an irresponsible affirmation.

Seems unbiased core gamers will pick one up at some point. Both libraries will offer great games and multiplats will be largely identical.

Everybody else will be swayed by price, geographical brand mindshare established in the current gen, and whether or not the benefits of Kinect are worth picking it up over a PS4.

Personally Kinect adds a ultra modern lifestyle to the console, and for $100 more, its much more convenient to find things, control media, and complement gamepad based games. Others won't give a shit though as they are more "no frills" gamers.


I am one of those people who uses Kinect 1 and will say that it did not meet my needs.  I also will say that the next gen device has a good chance of meeting my needs.  Currently I like where MS is going with Kinect.  One ultra feature that might be basic to some is a killer feature for the games I play.  The ability for Kinect to recoginize you and automatically set your profile for controllers and other stuff just sounds like what a next gen device should do.  I play a lot of fighting games.  Usually a bunch of friends will come over and we will play about 6 different fighting game.  Each one usually require each person to change their controller setup.  Swapping conttrollers around usually entitlee someone wasting time configuring their button layout to their tastee.  If Kinect can make this as easy as swapping a controller, thats a huge plus in my book.

I am also looking at voice controls as the killer app.  I know a lot of people whine about yelling to kinect but if you set it up properly you never have to yell and it can really making finding stuff so much faster.  Case in point.  I wanted to find the movie real steal.  I say Kinect Real Steal and it finds everthing for Real Steal.  It finds the movie where its at in a bunch of different apps I have installed.  It finds the arcade version and a few other things.  This is a lot faster than me trying to find which app has the movie, go to the app, do a search for the movie within the app then select it.

Another selling point for X1 is the snap feature.  I think this is actually a great feature.  There have been plenty of times where I was playing a game and needed to send a quick message to my wife or son.  I would have to pause the game, find my phone find Skype or whatever chat agent I use, send the text then get back to the game.  To easily have skype popup use voie to find family member, voice chat and send all without having to stop doing what I am doing is a next gen feature if you ask me.  I see a lot of convient features to the X1 which I must say I like.

I have not made up my mind which system I will purchase first and I know I will get both but I am slowy leaning to the X1.  Currently the PS4 is looking like a beefed up PS3.  The problem is that all of the games I want to play are coming out on the PS3 while Sony PS4 games seem to be a ways out.



It all depends on their first party stuff for me. If they bring the good then I'll get one down the road, but for now PS4 and Wii U will suit my needs. Plus I'll still be playing PS3 and I'll be using PSV and 3DS for handheld gaming. If XBO has good first party games that suit my needs then I'll pick it up. But for now, I do not intend to.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Now alot of the problems i had with the Xbox One are undone, i'm more likely to buy one but just not at £429, maybe when it's below £300. It also depends on what comes out. X1 already has some compelling exclusives for me but we haven't seen any gameplay yet. That is the case with Quantum Break and maybe some others like Dead Rising 3. We'll see what Gamescom and TGS brings. To me, it will be down to exclusives as PS4 will be my primary platform. I don't want another generation where there is little difference between Xbox and Playstation as majority of games come out on both.
