Xbox One Epic Fail.

A more thorough analysis than one from just a gamer's perspective: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/7358-Xbox-One-out-of-Ten

Here is the only good thing about the Xbox One. It's voice controlled, right?

Go into a lobby of whatever game with random people
Ask everyone to play voice chat through their TV speakers
Shout "XBOX SHUTDOWN!"
Everyone's Xbox One shuts down
Laugh

why do i have to pay a fee to play a used game i just pay 40$ for or why do my friends have to pay a fee to play my games. they are my friend they can come to my House to play Halo or DoA5 for free wtf -__-

swing and a miss. If you go to a friends house and you want to play it on your profile its free, But if your friend wants to play it on his profile he will have to pay a hefty fee in order to play it. Like full price pay, Fuck you X1.

Nothing about the XBOX One sounds good. This will be the first time since the PS1/XBOX/GameCube era where I didn't want to get every console. I'll stick with the Wii U and PS4.

There are also the rumblings of having to pay a fee for any used game you put into your system...

I wouldn't say its going to be a bad console, but this no used games and no backwards compatibility news is going to piss off a lot of people

Dunno how the you can afford a $600 box but not this... Maybe I am counting the numbers backwards but I would have thought the box would be the "half a fortune".



Good for "you", not everyone can have that kind of connection or guarantee too. If they lose they're connection the box becomes useless. At least the Xbox 360 still plays games offline.



"Asking permission" - Games are locked unless you prove you own the game.
"Strict restriction" - Xbox Live already cuts out half the game, this is the full game now.

I connected my 360 to live last month for some random reason but before that it was some time last year. PS3, when I play on my brothers (rare that I do) I am never online. Steam, you can download a crack, instant steam bypass. Don't act like the Xbox 1 online requirement is the same as the predecessors, only thing similar is Sim City, and everyone knows that was the problem, Microsoft didn't learn a damn thing looking at their failure.



As far as cloud is going, Sony is doing it as well, in a much better way too.



OH! Like when Nintendo widen their audience... Wait... They tried to target casual gamers and drove away serious gamers. Surprisingly they won last time around, but those consumers were not as blindly loyal this time around.

Now why ever would they want to switch to a new system trying to reproduce the same results of the thing they are abandoning? Serious gamers left Nintendo for Microsoft and Sony for the same reason you just listed. (And for Nintendo, you only had to pay for the machine and the games, once.)

Side note, the first link mentioning that Sony can afford a price cut on the US release of the machine to undercut Microsoft gives Sony even more of an edge.



"Seems to lean" how? You sure your not just hearing what you want to hear? Because everyone else is interpreting "connected before you can start the game", and Microsoft isn't saying "Your wrong".

>Posting 1 star shit product that doesn't work
>Poorly clarifying in 24 words what I did in 1
>"They tried to target casual gamers and drove away serious gamers" "they won last time"
>First link doesn't really support argument; poor sales due to lack of worthwhile games and changing spending patterns
>Second link defends wii u, says it's too soon to declare it a failure, mentions product cannibalism
>"Microsoft isn't saying 'Your wrong'"
>"If they lose they're connection"



Step up your game, son.

I actually like the new design and I've got a huge softspot for right angles and black gloss. I'll be picking up one of the broken duds on ebay after release to use to decorate my office.

I loved my xbox 360 (sold it and bought a 3DS recently) but I was seriously turned off by that reveal event. It seemed like they were marketing to those MMA t-shirt wearing douchebags. I rarely watch tv and if I do it's usually when I go to sleep since I fall asleep easier when I have 24 hour news on or if I am having a quick bite and don't want to eat at the table I'll switch the tv on and eat and watch.

I'm not going to pay an assload on a piece of shit that looks like a vcr, charges me for used games and has features that are gimmicky as fuck that I don't care about or would really want to use.

I posted the product from a quick google search to show a product existed with a cheaper solution for him, but you are right, I should have payed more attention to what I was linking.



4 and He said he didn't get it. Think of it as echoing consensus?



Contrast to the current state. Success didn't carry over/follow them with their switch.

Is it possible to spin this as a reflection of how much "casual gamers" alone can support and maintain loyalty to a console, and Microsoft's terrible decision to switch their focus to this audience that's already abandoned consoles for handhelds and smartphones?



I don't expect many articles to unbiasedly analyze, just to try and spin the results to match the opinion they desire. Just my condescension and pessimism wanting to believe that "serious effort to look" for conclusive statements is a frivolous pursuit, let alone one that would satisfy him.

My only goal was to find an article that showed where Nintendo's numbers where at this time, didn't expect to find anything I could agree with "word-for-word". I know I did bad...



Can I spin this with a previous comment made in this thread to help my case?



If not... (damn...) Ya... I get lazy reading a wall of text... (always bites me in the ass...) I don't like using a single article unless I feel it's compelling enough alone, so I threw this in without paying attention to it.



As stupid as this makes me, were these too weak? I'm not entirely sure what fault you find with it.



I'm hardly at that level, I can only play the role of the mocking jester. But fine~ I'll reflect on my mistakes... It's becoming uncomfortable getting caught with my pants down.

and the fee may be the full 60$ too >_>

I really hate the name they choose "Xbox one". I'm just so lost about that "one" part.

There are no more green in that map... lol

I'm guessing because they are trying to combine everything into ONE device, tv, games, internet etc.

I remember when the xbox 360 was coming out and it sounded bad ass. they showed games that looked better from the OG xbox. Then there was the red ring of death, that was a huge bummer. As Long as they have a chance at E3 to redeem themselves and I pray to the gaming Gods they do or it will be X for the end.

Well done, I applaud your brilliance.

I'm a sony fanboy, but despite that I feel bad for the gamers that were looking forward to the new Xbox. Then again, we still don't know that much about the PS4. For all we know it could end up being just as bad as Xbox one. I hope not though.
