"Nintendo chose to launch first. There is no doubt that was intentional. However, by failing to have a killer first year, they've blown a massive advantage."
actually, they blew their advantage when they decided to release a system that's barely better than current generation consoles rather than putting something out that would be comparable to what sony/MS are going to be putting out later this year, and tried to sell 3rd party AAA titles that people playe... #1.2
i could care less about BC... i don't really understand the want/need to be able to play games you've probably already played to death on current/past systems. #1.2.12
"It wasn't a, "Boo hoo, you suck because I didn't like the ending," thing."
uh... yes, it was.
and it was also misguided people that somehow convinced themselves into thinking that a few decisions they made in a game has some sort of butterfly effect on the outcome. #4.2.2
it really all depends on how always on is implemented.
if it's required to be online just to be able to play single player games, that's not such a good thing.
and you're right, they haven't said anything about the next xbox, but it's pretty telling when your creative director openly defends such a feature on the internet.
personally, i'm waiting to find out from MS before i pass any judgement because there are some p... #26.1
it's a piece of garbage that unfortunately sucked a lot of people in with it's utopian "open source" nonsense... which is nice, and all, but peple will still do malicious things with the device. once that happens (pretty much as soon as thing the launches), support from devs will drop like a tonne of bricks, and it'll be nothing more than a $99 NES emulator. #7
i don't care so much about always online as long as you can still play your games if the network goes down or you happen to have some problems with your ISP.
what i care about more is whether it is required to have kinect connected just to be able to use the system because i don't care about kinect.
it's also troubling that they could potentially charge you extra for watching a movie based on how many people happen to be sitting in your living roo... #45
and once MS reveals their next console, and it turns out to be weaker than the PS4, no one will remember you. #16.3

except they do. they're touting it as a revolution... it says so on the packaging.
"They gave consumers or aspiring hobbyists, the tools to open this system up and make it work for their needs"
and it'll all fall apart once idiots decide to do malicious things with the device. #10.3
"but what was "said" wasnt really said. it was tweets that could have been by anybody."
except it's already been confirmed that it was a legit account, not a fake one. #1.1.18
not surprised at all.

bahahaha that's one hell of a spin there, buddy...
is that what you and greenpowerz are trying to convince everyone with now? #2.1.2
