@simonspearman86: I agree 100%, I was a gamer from NES up to 360. Only this month have I purchased the Xbox One. Have been out of the gaming scene for 4 years or so because of the added DLC, micro transactions, and content FORCED on the consumer.
EA is what’s wrong with gaming. They have and continue to develop decent games, keeping fans happy. Unfortunately, I backed out of online gaming several years ago, due to many companies forcing the buying tactic. EA was one of the pioneers of DLC purchases, purchases of extra items, and forcing a subscription to their own services.
People bring ignorant comments like this. The PS4 plays games, what is it bringing new to the table, why not just hook up the ol Dreamcast or NES. Next gen graphics alone wont suffice. At least Microsoft is expanding what their box can do. You dont have to use any of these new features folks...but its there.
If Nintendo went strictly handheld, or perhaps a handheld you can hook up to the TV, I wouldn't complain. Nintendo has DOMINATED the handheld market since day 1.
People are underestimating the One, Microsoft is delivering a 100% entertainment system. Nag all you want about policy changes, Kinect 2, or how the PS4 is a powerhouse. The One is bringing good things to the table, plain and simple.
