Good move by microsoft. They are informing customers about their policy change. But still it seems a desperate approach to me. Is pre order number than low in NA? Here is the pic.

But when sony poke them they are unprofessionals?


Sony did the poking in right and smart way. Why are you mentioning sony's actions here? Its a bit strange.


Because some users seems to think that Sony shouldn't have mentioned that X180 done the 180, but haven't complained about the add... and I was being sarcastic in my previous post.

Lol. With Xbox one you can suspend* and resume* your game instantly. You mean like hitting the pause button?

* doesn't matter what system you're on you can't suspend and resume a MOBA in the middle of battle.

They decided to make it a bold leap into the future, and people weren't ready, so they changed it to what people wanted. You're just looking for a reason to be unhapy about it.

"How dare they claim to make a system people want, just because people forced them into doing the ethically right thing, which they clearly were not planning on doing, by talking with their wallets!?"

Fixed.


There was nothing ethically wrong with Microsoft's decisions. They were  moving console gaming into the future. It would have made console gaming more like PC gaming(can't resell PC games), actually with some cool additional sharing features which barely exist in most PC games. (with a few rare exceptions - i.e. spawning in StarCraft)

Also, there's nothing unethical about require an internet connection. My computer, phone, and tablet all lose 95% of their functionality if they aren't online... why not my console?

Yep, just like the pause button is exactly the same on a computer as it being able to go into sleep mode?

No, the X1 feature is that you can essentially pause your game, to go play another game. Or go watch a movie. or turn it off. And rather than restart at a checkpoint or beginnng of a level, pick up hours or days later from where you were.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Did a 180? So it's only half as good as a 360??



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I think it's funny too.  I will be getting both consoles, but I am not so closed minded as to hate one or the other.  The digital download is here to stay and it will be the only available option in the near future.  Later, we will al complain that we wish we had what M$ was proposing.
