Memnoch Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 PS3 was sold as a full media system in your front room (integrated HDD, blu-ray player, optical out, and also games) when released. PS4 is going to be a social machine, hell I blocked loads of people on facebook as all I saw posted were trophy acheivements but people are berating the fact the Xbox one will be a full media machine with social aspects - that's what the PS4 is too there are plenty of reasons not to buy Xbox, as there are a PS4, but bashing social and media player does seem a bit besides the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splatter392 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I didn't actually watch it, but from what I've heard and from what I've seen in videos it was a huge fail. Just leaving this here aswell:Ouch XBOX! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leaving this here aswell: Ouch XBOX! Microsoft's biggest market (North America) is getting swallowed. More #GamespotPS4 percentage in the United States than #GamespotXbox has globally. I wonder what Microsoft's offices look like right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming is why we are all here too is it not?

Hislose Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Haha the first time I saw the Xbox One, I said.. "Wth? a VCR?" Let's just hope the PS4 won't come out looking like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnRoDr Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I do hope XBOX ONE will pick up it's pace after this somewhat dodgy release. Personally I believe that consumers can only benefit from a healthy competition between two or more roughly equal consoles. Once a "monopoly" is achieved by either one the quality will drop and prices will rise. So my hopes are that the companies (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, ...) will keep each other on their toes and competing for our attention and money.

It seems like they're still hiding something. Instead of Major Nelson (is that supposed to be an "I Dream of Jeannie" reference? That is all I think of when I hear that name) simply saying there will be no fee to play a used game, he said... "Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games," Major Nelson said. "Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete. We will disclose more information in the near future." The bit in bold worries me. Why not state there will be no fee instead of saying the reports are incomplete and they'll talk about it more in the future? Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Because the will likely add a used game fee even if not at retail price. Supporting resale of old games doesnt mean without it costing you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnRoDr Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 MS wants a piece of the 2ndhand market and they're just looking for an explanation to give the consumer so that they don't revolt instantly. It's a speculation now, best not to worry until we have actual facts and statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
