Disagree. What indicates that X1 is aimed towards sports gamers and not traditional gamers? It's not just sports games that play online a lot; first-person-shooters like CoD and BF4 are games you mainly buy for online experience. Same can apply to Halo actually as well.
I should rephrase that then. What I meant to say was "the online player, who likes sports and shooter games and such with a lot of online features". Must have been a glitch somewhere between brain and keyboard. I apologice.

But yeah, The EA sports games are without a doubt big sellers alongside games like COD, Battlefield and Halo (Fifa 13 being the 24th most sold game for Xbox and MW3 being the second most sold according to VGchartz) . And I do believe the sports franchises from EA are more popular on the Xbox than on the PS4 since the online is stabler (am I correct on that?)
We might see a shift in that since the PSN is gonna start costing now as well, which will likely equal more money going into the online service upkeep and maintenance. But it is unlikely.

EA Servers suck equally on PS3 and XBOX. As an owner of both I can say with some certaintity that they're equally shit. It's not the Microsoft or PSN servers that caused FIFA online play to be bad, it's EAs.

Agreed. Also, just the whole "PS4orXBOX?? MY LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS DECISION!11" type of attitude is just hilarious to me. But to be fair, I'm not a huge gamer or anything, and don't care for the ''latest technology'' (Ipods, Iphones/smartphones, super latptops, tablets, super-mega game consoles, etc).

I'm an old man. Senhor Perfect

In this time of day, gaming is all about online. I honestly wouldn't purchase a system at all for offline gameplay just cause I'm not getting my moneys worth.

Different strokes for different folks. I would never buy a console just for online gameplay.

Neither are good enough for me to buy. Just a few months after release, PC will be capable of much more again, it's the only winner. Console graphics will look crappy once more.

ikr. Massive over-exaggeration in the gaming community imo. You need to connect once a day, that's it. I guess the very-much minority of predominantly single-player gamers might be mad, in which case, purchase a PS4. They won't get use of the features of the Xbox One anyway without internet connection, so what's the problem? Purchase the cheaper console and play offline.
A little scenario for you lets say you just buy fifa 14 for your xbox you take it home and you can't to play it but sky decide to switch all your services coz you aint paid the bill and you can't afford to pay it til the next month am i right in think that you won't be able to play fifa til you pay your bill i'd be annoyed if thats the case
