CVG: On June 11, I woke up just before lunch, having done a 21-hour shift covering this year's E3 press conferences. I felt strange, almost jet-lagged but without having left the country.
I staggered into my office, nudged the computer out of sleep mode, and did two things. First, I pre-ordered a PS4. At this point I don't think that decision requires much explanation. Second, I pre-ordered an Xbox One. Which perhaps does.
Not enough justification there for me. I've said it time and time again: change the policies Microsoft, or I'm not interested in your crapbox one.
I thought this article had some good points up until "It doesn't matter who wins." It does matter. If people can take one second to look away from all of the fanboys and console war, You'll see that Sony and MS is pushing in two clearly different directions with their consoles. Both might want an all digital future, but how MS is going about it is all wrong. Consumers(gamers) have to choose who "wins" with their purchase. And according most polls, majority gamers are against MS's ways of forcing their vision for the future. I don't like it, so I won't be purchasing Xbox one, and I hope that Sony wins to show that when gamers speak loud and clear about what they want, they are to be heard, not ignored and persuaded.
Quick everyone tell the writer how much of a troll he is for buying an X1 and how Kinect will spy on you. And insult him for spending his money where he wants.
EDIT: Lol yep @Dedicated is the first to insult and mud sling Grow up dedicated.
Who are any of you to dictate his purchases?
I preordered one but I can also cancel at any time. I haven't paid anything at the moment. If they change some policies and make the console look more enticing, then I'll go ahead with the order. If we get close to launch and it still seems like an awful console, I'll cancel. I basicallya preordered hoping they would change before launch.
You...
Have disposable income, don't actually care about the future of the gaming industry, and have already pre-ordered a PS4, as well.
So, go ahead.
