(Forza overtook GT? When the hell did this happen? Did their last game sell more than 10 million copies? Did the franchise sell more than 70 million copies total? So how in Da fook did they over take GT?! Answer me gametrailers!)
MS stuck in the 90s? This would have been cool a number of years ago but today everyone is moving away from the traditional content distribution model and having it being centralized in just one place.
What about the hardware? Where's the info on how beefy it is compared to PS4? heh
That was lame so incredibly lame. :D Without question PS4 > Xbox -1. PS4 is a much more attractive product for gamers but if TV & Movies is your thing then I suggest you go with the Xbox.
(and COD looks current gen! lulz But don't worry it'll have the same old laggy gameplay and poor hit-detection just like always. COD DOA next-gen, Killzone, Destiny, BF4 all day).
@Septic from the 15, 8 are new IPs but they didn't say how many of those were kinect titles.
That was god awful. What was that? 50 minutes of how the Xbox is now a cable box? I see that Sony stock surged up almost 10% in a matter of minutes to a high not seen in a year and a half about mid way through this train wreck.
But onto the event. It seems always on, always watching, showed no games (just cgi trailers) and the entire focus was on how the Xbox was your new cable box. Seriously, we should take this whole Xbox reveal thread and move it over to TechSpy because it had almost nothing to do with games, which I believe is supposed to be the focus of this site.
The original Xbox was my favourite console of it's gen (sorry PS2). The 360 was alright. I was already planning on waiting with the Xbox One just because of hardware issues I suffered through with the 360, but now I think I'll pass. There just seems to be no reason a gamer would actually buy one of these based on that reveal.
Microsoft have lost their collective minds, in my opinion. It's like they have no clue who took the Xbox to the heights it achieved. It was a big middle finger to all Xbox fans.
darkride your talking out of your arse, and no doubt that stock thread yours that got failed.
the tv stuff was great no doubt. the rapid moving between services was good aswell. and the kinect/skype will be great for using when i speak to my family in the UK.
the console looks like a no nonsense console (looks wise) with a hint of blu-ray player and set-top box.... which it is. buy the looks you can see that microsoft are trying to appeal to a broader market. which i think is going to work in their favour.
i still want to see what they show at e3.. but with the talk of the cheque book being flashed, and 15 exclusives within 12 months of launch, they are up for it.
i think that they are going to give sony an even tougher fight next-gen..
People though Microsoft would reveal a next gen gaming console. What we all got was an "entertainment" box that does sports and voice commands really well but...
and they had the nerve to take the piss out of sony for not showing hardware, what a joke.
MS could not have got this more wrong.. yet again.
There are loads of people in my office that have 360 for casual gaming, None of them stayed behind to watch this crap. The 4 of us who did were all waiting for them to show games...
The only smart thing they did was not change the controller and make sure the casing was so big there is no chance of it RROD'ing
i mean how can MS screw this up? after Sony's show everyone wanted to hear about games on xbox. games. but noh. i wonder which idiots are running this show?
they probably went back to xbox one bcoz ipad also went back to 1 or a zero, in their case.
funniest part is Sony's stock going up midway. i mean talk about irony there.
No real game announcements, lots of TV, a live action Halo series, a new Forza game, Kinect with every console....ths was all too predictable, and I'm really underwhelmed by this press conference.
