I agree, I never had or really would have this issue, my only question is what about the people out there who have or care to have or pay for internet

Something I don't get is that people keep saying they don't care about games with this thing. I don't think we have the information to deduce that at the moment. If I'm running Microsoft, that's easily the part I'd want to announce myself. The only thing we've heard in that regard is they have multiple studios working on AAA titles. Just because the stuff about media is getting out doesn't exactly mean that they don't care about games imo. I think in that regard, some of you are getting ahead of yourselves in part because we already know Sony's platform.

For the most part we still have a ton to learn about Sony's system and services (both free and their equivelent of Live) too.

People are just matching up bullet points and assumptions with mostly rumor and assumptions to try and justify their premature statements of allegiance and.. well... the adage about assumptions still applies.

XBox 'Infinity' to require constant on connection in order to play games. Major blow up today. Crazy choice IMHO.

This was MSFT's plan all along. The Web TV deal with Sony flopped back in the day. Sony then came out with the Playstation and PS2.

MSFT'S knew it needed to get into gaming as well to "win the living room". Bill Gates was on record before the first XBox that the goal was to have their "set top box" all along, and they had to go Sony's route with the XBox after they pulled out of a deal with Sega to team up for a DC successor. They yanked funding and helped cause Sega to flop after Sega invested too much.

Sony still seems heavily games oriented so far, with the Netflix stuff, etc. being more so options. So far...

This is the same exact information that sparked this whole debate. Seems they were a bit late on it.

Ahhh... at 86 pages, haven't exactly read this entire thread. Feels like MS is making the Sony mistake of thinking they are the big dog and no one can take them down this generation. The arrogance of that Director is appalling, and one of the primary reasons people are turned off by Microsoft (well, ANY company that expresses sentiments in that manner).

On a side note, I personally never buy consoles for their features. I buy them for their games. That's why I own a PS3/Wii/XBox360 and both a 3DS/Vita. Games draw me in, and features are just a nice to have.

Will the always on keep me from buying the console? Not if there are quality games to draw me in, but what it will do is keep me from making it my primary gaming platformer, where I play all my games and make all of my purchases.

My internet was in and out all day today. I hate to say it, but I won't be getting a xbox because of this if it is in fact true.
