Well, now that they have extracted the pickaxes from their brain and removed their tin foil hats and have stopped muttering something about pre-owned games stealing their money, it may actually be worth it. Saying that, it would've been unfathomably moronic to not do something, considering how (according to my dad) 75% of an Xbox orientated forum said they would get a PS4 on a poll. If your fanboys are against you, you know you screwed up big time.

Two changes? What about the Kinect HAL-9000 business? What about the big focus on television? I mean, they've done something but it still needs improving.

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.

The XboxOne still sucks. I really hope they go down on this one. I don`t mind if they recover afterwards. but when they do I hope they learned from theire mistakes and make a console not just based on profit but on what consumers want.

and when it comes to exclusive franchises for the xbox we have:

1) Halo
2) -
3) -

Incredirobotwars · « **Reply #153 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:45:22 AM »

Yeah, you're talking franchises...loads more brilliant exclusives than that with individual games. Ryse, Titanfall, countless indie titles they're supporting, oh and another franchise: Forza.

And do you really think Microsoft can go down after making a console that everyone has decided to hate based on assumptions and misinterpretations?

...because our views on any item are based on first impressions? And XBO's first impressions are less than appealing - higher price with nothing much to offer for the difference in value.

Of course we had to shut up on that issue if Microsoft decides to clear it up, but the act of a touch-move (and a late one at that) leaves us questioning its management ethics instead.

But that's not saying the PS4 is any better. Sure, it's still better in comparison to the XBO, but both have missed the point of having consoles in the first place. Extra features are worth nought if there's less than a handful of good games (I don't care if it's indie or AAA, I want good games) worth playing on each console - and that's pretty much the best reason why I like the NES/SNES the most (unless the PC is included as a gaming platform). Heck, even the PS2 and XB360 are worth the price because of the loads of fun that comes along with them.

...I would probably be more qualified to say this if I didn't have PCSX2 on my laptop

Microsoft will now always be considered as a dirty ex-gf who wants you back despite having slept with your worst enemy behind your back. Anyone who trusts them deserves any crap they are dealt for trusting them again.

Incredirobotwars · « **Reply #156 on:** August 04, 2013, 07:47:33 AM »

Where the hell are you getting all this 'Microsoft is a bad company, don't trust them' bullsh** from? You just said that the XBox 360 is worth the price for the fun it provides. No doubt you've used Windows for the majority of your time using computers, I have had no problems at all with Windows Phone, and I've been using my Nokia Lumia 800 since it came out, so I've seen WP7 for its entirety. Obviously, then, some trust can be placed in Microsoft. I'm not saying that Sony can't be trusted (though they're now adding a charge for use of a network that has previously been compromised), and the guy who made the faux-pas in communication of the way in which XBO is going to operate no longer works for MS, so I'd say most errors have been cleared up from the ones you mention. Obviously, I can't speak for MS as a company, nor the future users of XBO, nor do I have a right to speak against Sony, having not used one of their consoles since PS one, but I can offer you facts and my opinion on the situation as well as my experiences, and with those, I come to the conclusion that I prefer the XBO.

Pwnator · « **Reply #157 on:** August 04, 2013, 08:10:54 AM »

Yep, I did say that XB360 is worth the price, not XBO, though.

The fact that it had to get its sh** back together because it screwed up is the reason why I question its management ethics. It's kinda like a car company paying for the hospital fees of the victims from crashes due to brake malfunctions - sure you patched it up, but you still made a mistake you normally shouldn't have done.

Besides, it's not the the team that worked on the 360 is the same team that's working on One. Just consider it a misstep from the company. But yeah, still not buying any of the new consoles until tons of good games come out.

I think it's obvious MS were committed to the DRM policies, the only reason they back peddled is because not enough units would have sold and pre-orders were going terribly. Just wait until they pull the ol' bait and switch now:

1. Remove DRM to get more sales, but also take away family sharing.
2. Loads more dummies buy.
3. Advertise the hell out of the family sharing patch.
4. Bring back DRM (hidden in fine print) with the family sharing patch.

They were trying to screw the consumer over, when you buy a game you should own it and be able to sell/trade as you please. Microsoft was just kissing the ass of developers and letting them know they would get more money due to having DRM in place and now they want people to believe that they want what is best for the consumer? Haha, nope.

Again it's like a cheating ex-gf who wants you back, should never be trusted. Plus there are devs complaining about the used game market like they are the only industry with one, what a bunch of money hungry pigs.

If you really want an Xbone, I suggest waiting a year or even two just to watch how they treat the consumer first. I don't want MS screwing over people who spent money on their product, it just means they know they will know they can get away with stuff like that in the future.

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.
