I want a gaming console. Unfortunately, the Xbox One seems to be more concerned with non-gaming features than the games themselves.

While I have my 360 hooked up to the silver Xbox Live account, anyways, I still don't like this news. It wouldn't really affect me, but to have to have my Xbox One (if I got one) hooked up to the internet would kind of suck. I had to live in a camping trailer without internet for a few months in 2007 while I was in the process of moving in 2007 (the house sold before school was out). I guess I would have been SOL if I had an Xbox One then.

With that being said, I'm not looking to jump to "next-gen" consoles anytime soon, anyways. This news makes it more so.

I've never bought a Playstation console before, but if/when I make the jump to next-gen, I may be leaning that direction.

Aside from sports games, I don't play much console gaming anymore, anyways. PC gaming FTW.
