Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yeah. I had a PS2, then an Xbox 360 as my main console (got PS3 for Last of Us recently) and I wanted to keep Xbox going purely because I have all the achievements and stuff but even the cost I would swallow but not the used game and compulsory internet connection thing. I can't believe how badly Microsoft have handled this.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It's bad for us but it's clever for them as explained above. Publishers will be jumping at the chance to make more money.. hint at EA.

There's no true winner though in terms of sales.. there never is, both consoles will ship an equal amount give or take a few million just like the current gen. Microsoft will get a head start granted but Sony will have a better launch this time round. Each have their exclusives and whilst I preferred the Xbox exclusives there's someone else out there that liked the PS ones. In summary both consoles will sell and that's that. The jumped up hype and arguments will continue around the world but at the end of it both companies will make millions and millions.

So let's get onto something that isn't going round in a circle and that we can all enjoy... again not EA, their conference was pants.

Ubisoft! the best at E3 by a mile, The Division and Watch Dogs just look sensational. AC IV: Black Flag. Awesome lineup, the map in the crew just looks truly amazing and the customization...

Wondering to myself how many out there will eventually fork out for BOTH? ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I did with the Xbox 360 and PS3 and ended up selling the PS3 as I never used it. I felt Xbox was the best console for me to use online and that was the biggest factor for me.

Cancel that battle between PES and FIFA, FIFA takes it for another year after Konami announce PES won't release on Next Gen this year. Here's to another year of bug riddled, disconnecting for EA server's and 'Impact Engine' magic.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They might do but it's not a given. Microsoft should ditch the used game thing right now. I certainly think Sony could do quite well at the expense of Microsoft.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They could yet do that, if Microsoft went and matched the PS4's price and removed all restrictions I think a Nuclear war may break out.

Nah, I believe Microsoft will pull the plug on the restrictions soon, It's believable that they assumed Sony would follow suit if they did it first and it just didn't happen. so it's a 50/50 gamble.

Publishers could favour MS in hopes of making more money, there's also the possibility that the Xbox could flop and the PS4 would prosper meaning Publishers aren't on the greener grass anyway.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

New 360 and PS4 on shopping list though no hurry to buy but 1 won't be the majority of our game buys are preowned and we sell on the new stuff quite often unless its really good . Can't see the 1 ever coming in the door unless Sky are going to use it as a set top box ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Publishers could favour MS but retailers would push PS4 IMO.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The Xbox one will now be £299 I bet ya and the restrictions dropped. They have months to sort this and most likely if they have a brain between them have policies in place to implement the change quickly to the software

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Was so eager to grab the xbox yesterday and now I'm feeling like I don't want either, the only thing that attracted me were the exclusives. I may just be better off forking out the extra few hundred for a GTX 780 and just sticking to PC. :shrug:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Has anyone changed their view of which console they want now?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Nope, i still want the Xbox One. Only £36 more than PS4 :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It'll be months after release of both consoles before i make up my mind though, to see which 1 has the better quality games, if they have a difference.

What has put me off the X1 is the DRM, kinect plugged in, used games restriction, Need to connect to the internet once every 24hrs.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I might pre-order a One in case they get rid of all the restrictions but otherwise it's PS4

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes if MS got rid of the restrictions and the games quality was as good as the PS4 if there was a difference, then i would get an X1.

However i can't see them doing that.
