Microsoft can try to spin this until they are blue in the face that it's not as bad as it seems, but it's total bullshit.

Sony won this war, but it isn't even a war. Microsoft commited suicide(can redeem themselves and i'll explain later) Sony has NO RESTRICTIONS on how you use your games. Trade, sell, or give away games. There is no forced online activity for the console. It's the same feature set as the 360 and ps3, and well every console ever created. It's really ashame that microsoft has pushed DRM to the point that not having DRM(that's never exisited before)is a sellable feature? Not only that but trying to convince themselves that it could even win a console war.

Sony has more exclusives than Microsoft has launhing titles....... Here is a misconception though, developers on sony have the option to use DRM(which is basically how it is now) EA most notably pushes the limit on this shit now. If you're publishing for the ps4, you'd be a fool to try to publish a game with some sort of DRM on it after the backlash from microsoft. The ps4 gives you an option to publish drm games, the xbox one givers you NO option. EVERY disc you put into the system has to conform to their restrictive policies.

Here is something that xbox is trying to sell us now, they are giving you 2 free games a month for their xbox live service. NEWS FLASH playstation plus has been doing this already (15 FREE GAMES last month) NOT ONLY is it cheaper but they give you more games, and guess what WWEFORUMS it's less restrictive! You ONLY need playsation plus on ps4, for online multiplayer gaming. YOU DON'T need it for subscriptions to netflix, flixter, whatever the hell app you sink your money into. MICROSOFT though, restrictions! You have to have gold to watch something you already pay for, awesome logic.

The only thing Microsoft can do(and i believe it will happen, but not right away) Is remove these awful restrictions on their system, but it will only happen once we all BUY a ps4. Microsoft will ultimately do what will make them the most money, but guess what this christmas season you will see SONY beat the bricks off of Microsoft. Such a shame for a guy that has loved xbox since the original.

It's hard to believe that Microsoft would fuck up this bad with the 8 years given to them. (With most general fans)
Still buying though, lol.

The thing that rubs me the wrong way the most is that Don Mattrick told a reporter at E3, "good news, those of you that are concerned and don't have consistant internet, we have a device for you, the xbox 360" Which translates to JUST BUY A 360 YOU POOR PIECES OF SHIT, YOU NO INTERNET HAVING MOTHER FUCKERS. JUST GET A 360 CUZ YOU SUCK. DON'T BUY OUR NEW PRODUCTS, WE DON'T WANT YA, WE DON'T NEED YA. KISS OUR ASS!


Don Mattrick I want you to know something incase you ever stumble into wweforums. I know of another offline device. IT'S CALLED THE PLAYSTATION FUCKING 4!

I'm still so surprised Xbox took this huge risk. PS4 are going to wipe them clean with sales. If you're going to make such drastic changes, why not make a year into your new console? Get those sales, and then just force them in typical Microsoft fashion to accept it. Gives Xbox guys a chance to get used to them and less likely that all of them will just switch to Sony fanboys.

Id rather it be this way. Take chances, go for something new/better. I like 90% of what's going on with the xbox, minus the used copies issue, which i dont think will last from nov-jan 1st without being dropped/fixed.
