New info is just around the corner, being a gamer I will be watching even if I don't like Xbox. What are you hoping to see? what are you hoping not to see? IGN ran a poll and the results seem pretty sad to me:
"Q: What are you most excited to hear about from the next-gen Xbox announcement?
Game Announcements: 36.03%
Tech Specs: 35%"
only 1% more are more excited about the actual games? Am I the only person who thinks this is sad?
What is your stance about the rumoured always online? Will they charge you monthly just to use your console?
They need to bring out consoles more often. it's pretty sweet that the new consoles supposedly have top-of-the-line specs, but eventually they'll become bad enough to slow down PC game development if you want to go cross-platform. New consoles have been long overdue, I just wish Nintendo didn't underpower their console yet again this gen.What's interesting is that the only thing really lacking in the WiiU hardware is the processor. The RAM is great, and the video card is no slouch. I think part of the problem is that Nintendo stuck with the same Power PC architecture (based on the old G3 chip) and were faced with the limitations. This allowed for easy Wii backwards compatibility, but causes some problems now that Sony, Microsoft, and the entire PC industry use the x86 platform.
Well, its the Xbox One now.Probably not going to happen IMO, as some people refer to the original xbox as that. There should be a poll as to what yo think the name shall be.

I just let a joke fly right over my head, didn't I?Xbox One is the confirmed name for it.
Why didnt they name it Xbox 720?Because 720º is meaningless. Microsoft names its consoles based on their concept, not as sequels. The 360 was a "revolution." The "One" is an all-in-one entertainment machine. Get it?
Name will confuse some people that's for sure. Glad to hear that always online isn't required (yet anyway) but I really don't like this all-in-one stuff, I buy consoles to play games not to watch TV/movies, browse the internet and listen to music because I have my PC for that.Why didnt they name it Xbox 720?Because 720º is meaningless.

Why didnt they name it Xbox 720?Lang Zi says: When you do a 720, you end up right back where you started.

I'm a little concerned about the fee system. What if someone buys a used game from Gamestop, only to discover that the fee makes it exceed the price of a new game? Hopefully more people will learn to sell their games on Ebay, it's not hard.
The game gets installed on your Xbox, so that you don't need to insert the disc every time you want to play. The disc can somehow communicate with the Xbox and alert Microsoft if its one free installation has been used up.Why didnt they name it Xbox 720?Lang Zi says: When you do a 720, you end up right back where you started.

360 = one revolution
720 = two revolutions
both times you start and end facing the same direction. A person would think more revolutions is better when it comes to consoles.
Haven't heard about the fee thing, care to explain? I'm watching the reveal presentation now as I live in Aus and it was on at 3 am.
Am i the only one that thinks this console kinda looks like Wheatley from Portal 2?I meant this one - (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YqeYiP2Ws0w/ULtOfXreCnI/AAAAAAAAALM/6xWN0PDZl_0/s1600/xbox_720.jpg)

Wow, not a lot to look at. Guess they're taking the "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" approach.

Does the Xbox have any exclusives besides Gears of War and Halo? From an outsider's perspective, it seems like virtually every game for the Xbox is also on the PS3 or PC.Forza
Apparently, they have 15 exclusives. Don't know where that info came from, though.Will believe it when I see it, even with the most epic exclusives I wouldn't support this kind of console.

Why did they need to scan an actual military dog? Seriously, they could have borrowed a German Shepherd from the animal shelter and no one would be the wiser.>Call of duty logic
Used games being pretty much blocked (with codes/fees), stupid name, generic look, same basic controller (hopefully 360 controller works with it), not being centred on gaming and all that are all terrible. This could be the beginning of the end for Xbox.
I'll say lot's more people will jump on the Wii U now that the Xbox One is generating so much hate with gamers. Wii U is set to reveal some of it's blockbuster games at E3 those games being 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, Super Smash Bros. plus more.I think it's definitely going to be more popular now, but there are likely to be a large number of people who still have their prejudices and therefore probably will stick to either the XBox or PS4. I think Nintendo definitely looks to be in the most safe position though, since they haven't managed to rape their consumers like Microsoft and face less of its competition than Sony.
I can see Sony winning this time out, they've just got a basic advantage at the moment. I suspect the Wii U will not fare as well as the One, but people will probably like it better considering the idiocy going on with this XBox.I don't know. The PS4 controller is ridiculous, and out of Microsoft's 15 exclusives, some of them have to be good.
I agree, but how is that a fact?Look at it like a war:
Also, I said in a post awhile ago on here that if the used games thing was true someone should just go out and buy a tonne of Xbox One games (not the console) and sit on them for years until all the games have been used up then sell them for crazy amounts of cash.Yeah, I see PS4 winning this one XD
BTW Xbox One isn't supporting current gen headsets either and they aren't letting indie devs publish their own games. Things just keep getting better and better.
I really wish Sony and Microsoft would at least release more details when they announce the new consoles. Honestly there is no point of announcing a new console if you aren't going to give a clear picture of it (Sony) or keep everything basically a secret (Microsoft).You know E3 is in a few weeks, right?
I'm waiting for the abridged version, like they did with the PS4 announcement:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOxdMQhDMIU#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOxdMQhDMIU#ws)

It has Need For Speed Most Wanted U and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and...I'm more of talking about racing sims (I should have said racing sims, my fault). I really have never been able to enjoy arcade racing games that much after playing Forza, they just seem too easy now which takes away the fun in them.
There's only 2 real racing sims around, Gran Turismo will always be king in my book and if Sony pulls the same BS Microsoft pulled a lot of people will miss out on the big 2 racing sims.Right now Sony has seem to have made a blunder almost, they didn't bother to have a version of GT6 to be released along with the PS4. Hopefully it will have none of that Standard and Premium car bullsh** when it does come out on the PS4, or else they are doomed.
I would like to see Nintendo get an exclusive racing sim too, they are getting project cars (already on PC IIRC) but I haven't really been paying attention to that much so I don't know what it'll be like.Oh man, I forgot about Project CARS, I saw a trailer for it a couple months ago I thought it looked nice, then I found out it was going to come out in 2014.

Also, hardcore racing sims only really work with a wheel, but I can see how useful the Wii U pad's screen would be for an F1 game, for example.

Of course they work with a controller, but you can't play a proper racing sim properly without a wheel. I'm talking rFactor or iRacing here, not 'simcade' games like Forza, which are a half-assed attempt at a simulation.There's only 2 real racing sims around, Gran Turismo will always be king in my book and if Sony pulls the same BS Microsoft pulled a lot of people will miss out on the big 2 racing sims.

lolno.
They do give you the most realistic experience when using a wheel, but there aren't any that won't let you use a controller if that's all you have.
I'm probably getting a PS4 if it doesn't have all these "no used games" cheap scams.It will make some attempt at that. Sony and Microsoft (and Nintendo, to some degree) want you to switch to digital downloads. How can they force this? By making you either install your games from a disc or from their online shop.
Me? I'll wait. If the PS4 decides to add backwards compatibility, they have this generation wrapped up already.That literally cannot be done on the PS4 hardware. The PS4 has good specs, but not good enough to emulate the cell processor of the PS3.

May someone help me please, I looked for some Xbox One all sides clear direct view pics in google, but didn't find any good enough (to use for a skin). I want to make a bot, that looks like a Xbox One console and to mock it, destroy it or whatever other humiliations. It will be a good joking bye bot for some tournament.Now we just need a tourney called "Console Wars" and every bot must be skinned as a video game console :dumb)
Now we just need a tourney called "Console Wars" and every bot must be skinned as a video game console :dumb)That's genius. Someone do it nao.
My idea was to try something like this, I can make the old consoles rightly scaled bot chasis, skinned awesome, then they can be used for both stock and DSL. The only problem right now is the Xbox One textures, there are enough texture matrial for the old consoles. So, any help with Xbox1?Now we just need a tourney called "Console Wars" and every bot must be skinned as a video game console :dumb)That's genius. Someone do it nao.

I thought troops had a specialised simulator for training.Most likely, I was being sarcastic and taking a jab at news and media for obvious reasons. Anywho let's not go off-topic.
Let's also talk about the "Bros"... you know those human form fist bumps? they actually get together a lot of the time to play these games together for a full night of gaming, heck maybe even a weekend. These dudes are getting shafted as well lol.How? Do bros not have internet connections?
Also, Venko, it seems Micro$oft haven't heard of the PSX, a Japan-exclusive all-in-one entertainment system released by Sony 10 years ago, around the same size as an Xbox One. It bombed spectacularly:The PSX failed because 1) It was expensive 2) A less expensive PS2 was already available.

I like how the only posts here were people bashing the Xbox, so as soon as it cleared up what people were making fun of, nobody posted anymore...
Anyways, I will get the XBO, purely because it has features more useful to me. Smartglass (I have a Windows Phone), Xbox LIVE profile (Already have one), Exclusives (they appeal to me more than those on other consoles), and I already have achievements, experience with Xbox controllers (I detest PS controllers for some reason. Just can't get the hang of them.), oh and the Kinect comes with it, making it worth the extra £70 it costs over the PS4, since that's less than an old Kinect costs now.
That's why I want to get it, that's why I'm going to get it and not the PS4, so deal with it.

when you buy a game you should own it and be able to sell/trade as you please.
Xbone wouldn't have steam sales, plus steam is apparently going to let you trade/sell your digital games soon. If you think Microsoft listened to the feedback why were they so stubborn about sticking with it during interviews and such? They only changed policies because the pre-orders were going to the outhouse.when you buy a game you should own it and be able to sell/trade as you please.
You mean just like Steam... oh wait. To be honest, as it was, the Xbox ONE could have been a bit like Steam, but nobody really gave it a chance as it was (probably because of the whole preconception of 'a console should be this'). Saying that, I don't think Microsoft fully explained their reasoning either. And as for 'ermagerr dont buy it because they churnged it so murr purrple would buy it'. So what? They listened to complaints and changed it to be more appealing to the consumer. And isn't that what business is all about? To mold your product into something that customers want to buy, that partners want to support, and the developers want to develop for, to listen to the feedback and use that feedback to help your product become something more people will want?
How dare they listen to the complaints of the consumer.

I feel that it isn't like patching something that has caused harm, more like what I just did, clarified my statement on some things. Obviously, DRM was a U-turn, but only because they listened to the user feedback. They brought in DRM because they thought that was preferable for all involved. They considered that it prevented piracy, people who have a game tend to play it online, so won't mind if that connection is used to verify that their game has the correct digital rights tag for their profile, and they thought that most people would keep a game once they bought it. After research and user feedback they saw that this made it more difficult for end users, so removed it so that we would enjoy the gaming experience to the same extent as we do now.
