consumers are not in the wrong in this! not at all! it's about consumer's rights on physical media that they paid money for that M$ is about to take away!
it's just common sense that if you buy anything physical, you have the rights to keep, lend, trade in or resell them as you wish! XBone is not allowing that or at least not making it easy to do it like the old days!
if they really think that used market really is THAT threatening to the industry... #1.4.8

"a lot of people don't realize that a lot of gaming rigs still use DDR3 over GDDR5"
dude, do you even know what you're talking about? most gaming rigs today are already using GDDR5! if your pc/laptop only use DDR3, it's probably NOT a gaming rig because that means it uses integrated graphic, not a dedicated graphic card!
any pc/laptop claiming to be for "gaming" MUST have a decent GPU, which in this case ALL of them are using G... #2.1.6
PS3 uses a 2X BD drive
thus disc spins slower and make less noise.
bluray has bandwidth/transfer rate higher than DVD too thus keeping the difference of reading speed between the PS3's 2X Bluray and the 360's 12X DVD at a manageable gap. it also helps that bluray has constant read speed all around but DVD read speed is faster when closer to the center and gets slower towards the edge of the DVD. #9.2.2
Xbone will not be as loud as the 360
It runs games from HDD, remember? Just like how 360 runs quiter when you install full game on the HDD as well.
The loud noise comes from the spinning disc at high speed just like how it soes on pc when you are installing a software from dvd. Once installed, there's no need to have the disc spinning again to result in quiter operation #9.2
@hellvaguy
disposable controller? dude, what are you talking about? sure the batteries are built in but you can change them easily and it cost just a fraction of the cost of a new controller.
I know this because I changed my 2 DS3's batteries and even changed the worn out analogue sticks. #2.3
@Mainman
easy there, mate! did you put into your calculation the FREE Drive Club game which will definitely cost $60 in retail? NO? and that's just Day 1.
what about the other FREE games for PS4, PS3 and Vita that you will be getting every month for as long as your subscription goes? you don't really 'have' to play online to make your PS+ subscription feel worth it, you know. many MANY FREE games are coming your way and that's just a portion of PS+!
I'm going to say this
high end pcs have more power and perform higher too and I'll stop THERE because there is no current PC setup that cost $399 and perform even close to to the PS4 and that's a FACT!
but when it come to a general question why console is better...I'll just say this...PS+! there is nothing else ON EARTH that gives you THAT many contents for a measly $50 a year, PERIOD! #2.1.4
yeah
M$ is falling apart and Sony pretty much done nothing to cause it! they are shooting not just the foot now but their whole body ALL on their own! #4.1.2

erm...the XBone doesn't have GDDR5 at all! it's a single pool of 8GB DDR3 for the whole system. #1.1.6
It's not like you're only given 1 car and then other cars need to be bought separately like that 1 other fee game lol! #1.1.4

I watch tv all just fine WITHOUT Xbone! #4.1.3
what? you make it sounds like 8 core was the norm in pc scene since 1-2 years ago which is NOT! #3.1.5

that's when you know he's DESPERATE!
"I mean the analogy, and I don't know if it's a great analogy…" - NO, PHIL! THAT's not a great analogy, in fact, it's STUPID!
you can't put the XBone in your pocket now is it?
your phones doesn't REQUIRE you to be online once everyday is it?
and you don't get to buy discs for your phone's apps are you?
see how STUPID that... #1.1.8
