XBOX ONE is sounding terrible.

The fact is, designers DO make butt loads of money and now they are upset because game stop is making more than them. Plain and simple. just becuase one company went belly up, doesnt mean that their designers didnt make millions of dollars already and that the company did not profit. Companies go bankrupt all the time and that does not mean that previously, before bankruptcy, that they did not make tons of cash. Going bankrupt doesnt prove anything, except that they went bankrupt. Companies make profit for years and then go bankrupt..

Its just another way for multi-millionaires to make MORE money...Whether its game stop or developers, they both make tens of millions of dollars and they want MORE...

Like I said, I dont have a problem with designers charging royalties for games each time a game is sold and re-sold, but Im not going to pay out of the @$$ again and again, just to make some millionaire more money.

Gamestop and designers are both in it to make CASH. You cant blame gamestop for doing what a FREE MARKET society is supposed to do, and that is profit. Obviously if people had such a problem with game stop, they would not be in business.

There are huge costs that go into game development. The same publishers that sell AAA titles often also develop low tier games to try and find the next hit. They often lose money on those ventures. Focusing on the few games that "make it" does at all reflect the games market, which are full of lack-luster titled (in regards to sales) that simply don't pay the bills. Producers have to keep many games in development to keep the "next new thing" coming. Its a hedge against risk that pays off, yes. But is not as much as you think.

The term you're using, "designers" doesn't make much sense. The publishers are the ones who fund development houses to develop the game. Well known publishers are EA, Activision, etc. Those development houses do employ designers, but most are NOT millionaires, only those with a track record of designing popular titles get that kind of pay-offs.

As for GameStop they produce and develop nothing. They are simply the middle man in the process of selling media featuring profitable content from person to person.

As I mentioned in another post, if you get rid of the media, the largest factor on price will be the demand. When the demand drops, the price will drop as well. It will be a better result for the consumers.

If they didn't flip flop their crappy system was going to be the biggest gaming release flop of all time. They got outsold on amazon preorder 20 to 1.

People voted with their wallets and they responded. Now if they would only release a model that doesn't come with kinect.......

I think you guys buying the XBone should just turn the Kinect around and aim it at a picture of a big, hairy azz and play a looping fart-sound 24-7.

Glad to hear that XBox pulled their heads out of their butts. Ballsy move to admit when they're wrong and thank the fans for bringing it to their attention.

That said, usually these companies say "We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time" or some such. So, who's to say they don't change their minds again in a year?

Hopefully they won't.....

I cant play my old xbox 360 games on the Xbox One....So Im definitely out.

I see a PS3-4 in my future...

I guess I could always use my old Xbox 360 Slim to play my old games but really, the game series I really enjoy, are mostly on PS...The Xbox One sound cool for some of its features, like automatically ripping all games from disk to play from the HDD and all the nice CPU AND GPU, with a few other things like triple radio WIFI, 500GB HD, but I think I would rather have a PS3-4. I could always use my old xbox 360 to watch HBO GO and Netflix...

So now that the new Xbox One is coming out, will they still make games for 360?

I don't know how well the XBone will sell to military folks. That once a day check in will be hard if not impossible in some deployment situations.

The all in one media center is done to death and so far no one has been able to do it. Philips tried it, PS3 was marketed as such, MS tried it in a previous generation of Windows. I think Apple will be the one who will pull it off via one of their isomethings. Consoles are generally perceived as toys.

Fixed that for you. Mandatory internet/phone blackoutsts when someone in theater is KIA makes it impossible.
