Normally I'd be upset by this, but you know what? Fuck it. If this is the sort of garbage it takes to break my lifelong love of vidyagames, so be it. Thanks, Xbox, for doing what swirlies, Lieberman, and my dad could not.
I'm going outside.

chumbucket - 2013-05-23 By the way, my 360 was given to my by Microsoft for working on the processor. So I kind of got dumped into console gaming. It feels kind of good to step away a bit on this next round.

Microsoft got into the console race so they could have a home entertainment system, the PC connected to your TV that brings you media and sells you products on a Microsoft controlled closed distribution system.
CoD and EA sports will convince most gamers to bring an overpriced monthly subscription DVR into their homes, and the motion features are for families who aren't otherwise gamers. All sorts of traditional gamers are complaining they won't buy one, but they aren't the desired market anyway. Besides next-big console exclusive that comes out, they'll jump back on board.

Adham Nu'man - 2013-05-22 There's a few choices they made that I don't particularly like (no backwards compatibility, internet connection REQUIRED) but I think consoles becoming an all-purpose entertainment hub is the way of the future. In that sense I think Sony is dead and this will probably be immensely popular and at some point down the line I'll probably buy one.
I own a PS3 mind you, and I prefer Sony's "online free without shitty ads" setup rather than Xbox's "pay to be on our servers AND get advertisements". I just think Microsoft is in a better position to win this round.
I might (and hope to) be wrong.

The last console (and who knows, probably last) I bought was the Wii, and only because you can finagle free games onto it so it's a bit more cost effective. I can't even imagine owning one of these.

Deplorable - 2013-05-22 My Wii is currently in a storage unit several states away, so yeah, I won't get getting on that any time soon.
Also I haven't had a TV in years, since I have a large enough laptop I don't really need one.

dairyqueenlatifah - 2013-05-22 Wow. So it's the less powerful box, on top of everything else wrong with it.
I'm thoroughly convinced that Microsoft flat out doesn't give a shit about the core gamer audience anymore. It's all about chatting on Skype and managing your fantasy football blog while you watch The Price is Right now.

For every Xbox that is sold, Apple sells something like 50 iPads.

So the Giant Enemy Crab has been replaced with "Dog."

Xbox One New Retail Copy Per Console Only, Unless You Pay Us a Fee.
Microsoft is doing surprisingly well with their business model of charging their customers for what others offer for nothing. I mean they've already established that wonderful annual subscription plan for Office 2013. They already make their users pay a $ 60 annual Gold fee to watch video streaming services that are already being paid for monthly. They already charge developers $ 40,000 per patch (although I'm not sure if Sony does the same thing, so maybe that doesn't count?)
Hell, I guess I shouldn't be shocked that Microsoft's next goal is to cripple the used game market and stuff their pockets. On the other hand, fuck Xbox One. I'll just Goo Gone up my Super Nintendo if this is the way console gaming is going.

Finally, Microsoft is trying to do something about the glut of embarrassing gamers it puked out its birth canal screaming into the world.
Mofunzone has always been superior to Xbox anyway.
|
Gmork - 2013-05-23 hahahaha you've never played trials evolution
really that game is the only thing that needs to exist for the 360 in order for it to be worth having. that game is fucking nuts, and puts shame to any of that flash/shockwave popcap arcade nonsense you're talking about meme

memedumpster - 2013-05-23 Is it better than Fantastic Contraption? Be honest, there's no shame in it.
