The digital rights management is a dealbreaker for me. |

So the big reveal was today, and so far it seems like they were aiming at casual gamers....IE trying attract a broader audience. Kenect out of the box...cloud processing, games DLed on the hard drive. Only problem is Live is still Live, and you cant take games over your friends house, because they wont be able to play them without paying a fee. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a PS4 or build my computer. Simply because PC game prices drop considerably quicker, and both formas don't require some eye built in on the device at all times. What do you guys think? Excited? Yawing? Wishing it was the holodeck? |

Yeah...that was the last straw for me too. I mean, that sort of eliminates the whole aspect of heading to your friends house and playing a game with them. I can see it from a business standpoint where companies want money for their products, but I don't expect to pay a fee for borrowing someones movies or CDs. |

I'll stick to PlayStation and PC gaming, and maaayyybe the Wii U. I'm not really an Xbox person, but I was excited for this conference, but there was hardly any mention of games. I can't say I'm surprised though, looking back on Microsofts recent e3 conferences, it hasn't been much about gaming but entertainment in general. It's more like a cable box that can play games, and I think they designed it to look just like that, a cable box. |

Controller got uglier! Agree with above, a very poor choice for a name. Should have just stuck with Xbox 720, like everyone was expecting. Console is so boring looking as well... |
|
Looks like Playstation has my loyalty for another generation. Much stronger 'out of the gate' presentation/performance, IMO. I think Microsoft might be doing themselves in, focusing more on the 'entertainment center' aspect than core gaming (in terms of gamer appeal. The thing is still going to sell like crazy, regardless). |

I found this pretty funny: |
|
Well the 15 exclusives, 9 brand new titles (could be wrong...it could be 15 games at opening, but I know 9 of them are going to be brand new franchises) thing was actually kind of good. But yeah, they ruined it with DRM. I think they're not trying to bust a lid on everything due to the fact that E3 is in like 18 days. Still so far, PS4 hands down. |
|
Why buy xbox one when you have lucid dreams? |
|
I really genuinely believe that the big gaming companies are about to run themselves into the ground. With all this DRM bullshit, all they're doing is pissing off fans, and, ultimately, encouraging them to do whatever they can to get around it. I'm SO tired of companies treating us like even though we bought a product, all we are doing is renting it. We paid for our stuff... let us PLAY with our stuff. |
|
Infinitly greater than you are... Damn that missing E.
EA launches Sim City - always online |

If I were to get one of these two, I would go with the PS4. I have no plans to, as I'm a PC guy, but I'm not a fan of where Microsoft is going with the Xbox. |

AKA: DragonMaster21
Even more technologies. |
|
I might get the new Kinect so it can be hacked for motion control in virtual reality, but otherwise the Xbox One looks like a massive peace of shit that is trying to appeal to a dying field of entertainment. |

I think this is just a rumor, but now people are saying that if you buy a game used, you will have to pay full price for it |
|
Pretty much yet another console i won't care about honestly, and those new consoles seem to be even worse than previous ones so far... As one of the least casual people around especially gaming-wise i should be fine with my nice PC. |

"... Microsoft filed a Kinect related patent last year that would allow a system to monitor a room to determine if the number of viewers in a room exceed the content provider's license." |

Microsoft started closing the comments section on their Youtube videos. |
|
I'm sure they get it. They just don't care. Like with windows 8. |
|
The URL for their Xbox Reveal Highlights video literally has "-ps4" written at the end of it. |

Man, people are tearing the Xbox Facebook page a new asshole. LOL. I have never seen such a one-sided surge of people talking about switching from one system to another (Xbox to Ps4 or PC) than I have in the past few days. |
