@Sorciere_basic @Radnen Huh? You are no better a market analyst than I am. All I am saying is it's really too soon to judge: which is as levelheaded and sensible an argument can get. I am on no side in particular here. In order for one to say "X console wins" whatever the console is, means you had already made up your mind. Which is cute but it really isn't truth. It's just a strange group-mentality, that in some way makes you feel better about a product since you can identify with others about a particular topic. There's a lot of knee-jerk reactions happening in a very short period of time. I don't know why I'm even responding. :/
A lot of people says that PS4 "wins"... But what does that really mean? You might be surprised to see the Xbox One do very well. The Microsoft price point for their entertainment solution may draw in those who do not post on this website. I understand that money is a factor, but only from a certain point of view. There are still plenty of families and people willing to go an extra 100 dollars. A lot of the gripes people have here... Are they universal? Or are they just this site? 2000-10000 comments is a shallow sample size for the population of potential console owners. Those who post here while they share a certain sentiment, have indeed already made a premeditated decision. I think it's cute to see people bicker over a "win/loss" thing as if the console market is that blatantly black and white. What Microsoft is doing is in a different direction than Sony. But one thing is clear: he who comes out on top is to be determined, and anyone knows that. There is no winner here. There never was a battle. You made it up to feel good about a product. That is all.
I think the editor has failed to synthesize the fact that Microsoft had a really great performance. If the lineup was horrible, then all the publishers are to blame. But then again the editor failed to clarify what a solid lineup would be. But it doesn't matter anyways since it really is his opinion. So I think this sensationalism is just absurd: this boils down to a very nebulous criticism if I do say so myself.
@MacroManJr @toxicmaniac500 There it is again, the word "outstanding"... It's really hard to define but it seems for many here that Microsoft didn't hit upon this nebulous expectation that everyone had going in. If I were a company, how'd I respond to that? What could they have done to be any better? Invent completely new IP's? That's really damn hard to do, or they would do it more often and Microsoft has no control over that outside of their Microsoft Game Studios. It's EA and other companies that forced Microsoft's hand in not having something better than what people were wanting -- whatever that is.
I stop reading on "required to" and "only if", why can't a person freely trade a game with another person, a million times like in the good old days? Are they really that sensitive?
@karin_2049 @Radnen @Aristowi Again, no they will not. "Sources have told Polygon that the Xbox One will not require gamers pay an activation fee to play used games"
@mjswooosh No they will not. They said so in an update. READ the stories damn it. "Sources have told Polygon that the Xbox One will not require gamers pay an activation fee to play used games"
