So basically it is between their exclusives, since no one cares about these integrated features, but all the multi-platforms will be a bit better on Xbox due to direct-x and PS3 didn't exactly do well itself with multi-plats...
Basically they are trying to make the Xbox into a PC, but it will do everything the PC does poorly, and requiring some sort of subscription; which pretty much all of the game companies are doing.
@KelpsterD @RAGEofSTUNTS @crunchb3rry Change in gameplay doesn't have to be like a change to a different genre and what does being mainstream have to do with anything?
Play MW1, now BO2.
Only difference? Different theme and setting. Many of the guns are in several of the current gen's games and the killstreaks are the same, just with different names or model.
And since you mention mario, mario kart and mario party both broke away from core build concept and were extremely successful.
Can't pay the internet bill this month so can't play any of your games? Too bad.
Massive storm messed up the internet? Too bad. (which i have personal experience of, after Katrina my town didn't have internet for a month of two, but I was still able to past the time when the electricity came back on a few days after the storm)
Wifi-Adapter on your console is sucking balls? Too bad.
Router is a little old and isn't performing at its best sometime? Too bad.
