XBOX ONE is sounding terrible.

[mossy]

with all new information Microsoft tells us, xbox one is looking like a huge disappointment. you cant play games offline for more than 24 hours, lending a friend a game is complected ,Kinect 2 and the questionable used game fee....... its like they decided to screw over the gamers who made xbox so popular. the only games i played on PS3 were the "must play" exclusives. now i am seriously considering dumping my Live account and getting a PS4. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/...-always-online

I love my 360 but am not very optimistic about the new x box. I have enough games (and there are enough used games I'd like to buy) that I can, and probably will, just keep playing the 360 for years. I'm a casual gamer anyway, usually no more than 3 hours in any given week.

Think about the gaming market as a whole. MS is trying to make the One a repalcement box, not only for gaming but for streaming meda and cable. They are tyring to position themselves to be the single box when people start "cuting the cable". In the next five years, media companies will bypass cable and go straight to the consumers via streaming MS wants to be the vehicle for that transition.

By supporting HDMI (the cable box) and the internet, they become the gatekeeper and when/if someone ditcheSthe cable and pays for streaming, the One is ready reagardless.

I've been saying it all along. Playstation > xBox

Yeah I really am thinking ps4 so far. I had ps1 and 2 and xbox and the 360. But ps4 is supposedly going to be gamer oriented so it seems like its going to be the winner for me

[bohoki]

really reminds me of the divix dvd player why even have a media if its not going to work without a high speed connection just download as you go

[fighterpilot562]

Yea, it is looking bad for xbox, lots of people are pissed. Lets see how E3 goes

PS4 will now charge a monthly subscription, just like Xbox live.

“In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony would subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so.”

Where did you read/hear that? Everything I have read so far points to free to play online with the ps4.

Ugh. Been an Xbox guy since the first xbox, but microsoft screwed up badly with this POS.

The Xbox 360 will be my last console.

Microsoft is attempting to assimilate or purge us old timers. Streaming media, social media, constant internet connection, larger emphasis on wireless transactions and Kinect features; they're trying to appeal to the new generation of ADHD spoiled brat kids.

I will wait and see.
