Re: Xbox 720

I'm not sure why everyone is so up in arms about things that are just rumors. On May 21st, if the xbox is always on and they are gonna watch your living room 24 hours a day through the kinect camera, then you can say I don't want that in my house. That's fine. Until then this is useless and people saying they won't get a 720 will be the first people in here on 5/21 saying "Man this blows the PS4 out of the water, the Xbox is gonna be awesome. Did you see all the features?!? This is a day 1 purchase, I don't care what it costs."

Re: Xbox 720

I still have no issues with the next xbox. Always online, kinect etc doesnt bother me ne bit. I will probably get both at some point. Only 1 at launch, and i cn't make that decision until all the details are out.

Always online won't bother you until your internet goes out and you can't even play a single player game now.

The only features that should be needed in a video game system is that it plays some good video games.

Everything else should be optional. Making people get a kinect just because? Making it that if you have internet issues (or live where high speed is unavailable) that your console becomes a doorstop? Worthless.

You do realize some of this information is not a rumor right? Did you read any of the links at all?

None of them are links to Microsoft announcements, kind of the definition of a rumor.

The iptv link is not a rumor... Im pretty sure he didn't really read any of the other information here before he made that post anyway.

Re: Xbox 720

I hope they do it.

I am of the opinion that it will be ugly.

Is it hubris? Or visionary?

At least it is unique and that makes it waaaayyyyy more interesting to watch unfold.

i honestly can't remember the last time my internet went out without the power going out. So maybe that is why it doesn't bother me.

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

Re: Xbox 720

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.

I agree. I get it that companies want to "win the living room" now, but I'm starting to get this sinking feeling that for MS, it's entertainment first, then games. Gamers are going to be the first people to adopt your console.

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.
