@malokevi @Zero_Nitrous They are ignoring every consumer that doesn't want Kinect. Just stating my case, not crying. And, what happened with the DRM policies again?

@VooDooJenkins @Zero_Nitrous And, a lot of us don't want it to be mandatory so a middle ground must be formed.

@Haeravon Well put.

Microsoft didn't seem to learn their lesson from having to drop their DRM policies. Now they are ignoring consumers again. That quickly they've become arrogant again.

There is no reason for Kinect to be mandatory. If people don't like Kinect they wont buy XBOX One. If it was optional the result would be the same, only they'd still potentially buy an XBOX One alone.

Either way you're losing a Kinect user so why isn't it optional?

@Alyzen And, why it can't be unplugged.

@EddieDominguez Then why can't it be unplugged? It makes no sense.

@Slim_Lyrics @Zero_Nitrous Wii U had decent preorders before launch also. I think it outpaced the original Wii. How'd that turn out for it?

We believe? We believe? Since when does a company ignore the concerns and desires of the consumer, because they think they know better than we do as to what we want?

It doesn't matter what they believe, what matters is what the consumers want. Or, are they making these systems for themselves?

I hope this system crashes so hard, and gets the crap hacked out of it. Such a freaking arrogant, stupid, and selectively stiff-necked company.

The new pay-to-play-for-free-temporarily, before having to pay again later to keep playing for free model. XBOX Live exclusive.

It's a subscription for free to play games for which you still have to pay to unlock most of the game. Pay pay pay pay pay pay. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

With the NSA scandals, the higher price tag, and with lesser hardware performance, it's pretty clear XBOX One releasing in Japan would just be a huge waste of money. It's not going to sell.

It will probably be the same in most foreign territories.
