nobody fucking believes those "dev" posts. are you dense?
I have an Xbox1 on pre-order, but I'm starting to think paying $500 for the privilege of being a beta tester may not be the smartest thing I can do with my money (getting a PS4 as well when some of the Sony exclusives hit, likely when The Order drops). I still like a lot of the ideas behind the Xbox1, but its starting to sound like every division in Microsoft saw the Xbox Live and 360 installed user based and decided they wanted their piece of that sweet, sweet incremental services revenue.
I'm half surprised that we haven't heard that they are adding keyboard and mouse support so that they can sell Office 365 subscriptions for people's Xbox's, they seem to be just about the only division that isn't a stakeholder in this thing.
The idea behind a lot of this stuff is cool, but they seem to have lost the plot that at the end of the day this is supposed to be a games console, and if you're going to do all this incremental stuff you don't let it out of the oven until you have both the core function and user experience nailed. It's something that Apple inherently gets (at least for the last 10 years or so with a few notable exceptions...cough...Maps...cough...MobileMe), but Microsoft doesn't, and is why the 360 experience was their one consumer hardware success story over the last several years.
I'm reserving judgement until the console actually releases but right now the result is looking a lot closer to "The Homer" (when Homer tried to design a car for "the everyman") then the iPhone.
- Hey you guys have voice chat right, lets use Skype instead
- Well we've built out Azure for cloud services, lets integrate that for...stuff
- Entertainment division - Well we're already selling movies like iTunes, what if we could integrate with the TV services they are already hooked up to, then we could integrate web ad tracking with tv ad tracking
- Why build a dedicated OS when we already have Metro for Windows 8?
- What if we could use Kinect to sell conference call services to businesses?
- etc...

You know when there is a guy you have to call to get in touch with the next guy and that next guy has to call to get in touch with the next next guy.
Matt is the guy next next next guy and you can't call a guy to get in touch with him. He just calls you.

i was all awake when the last shitstorm kicked in. I wasn't ready for this one. Besides OP, is there any other nice summary?
A storm is brewing, cat & dogs, sodomy, the whole works.

Yup. In another response he says "it's possible unfortunately" to a tweet that used Mixtermedia as its source. This is the headline in the link provided by the tweeter: "Sony try fake PS4 reviews. Only trusted and paid journos got retail PS4 as it keeps overheating".

Omg. I thought cboat was the end all be all? Who is this mysterious Matt? Find out next time on neogaf Z!
seriously though who is this Matt guy
Who is Matt
Is he cboat level?!
I believe he is a bit above cboat level. Having never once come up with wrong info. Of course he posts alot less than cboat.

You are avoiding Gaf insiders and focusing on the devs that we all know are total BS.
I agree though it's not an issue unless shit is still broken at launch.
You're right about one thing, I'll give you that.
Edit: Actually no, you're wrong, the Xbone is out on the 22nd. So carry on.

Major mltiplatform developer afaik. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong mind.

The devs on the blog is stupid, but when we have insiders on gaf saying things are bad then I wouldn't totally ignore that there are going to be big problems.

Oh, I know Matt is essentially spot on, but I didn't know he was considered above cboat in terms of credibility?
Or are people just playing?

This is the best post in this entire thread.
so Matt is Gus Fring? That makes CBOAT...uh, Saul Goodman? Or is he Mike?
Is famousmortimer Heisenberg? I'm guessing Ben Kuchera is that Ken dude who got his car blown up.
He posts less often than CBOAT it seems, but I don't believe he's ever been wrong about any rumor.
best post so far, well done son.
what has he done in the past to warrant this
OMG hahahaha, amazing.

What's the name of that big online thing that worked at launch?
Oh right, it almost never happens. And that's why I'm not getting either system this year.
