Everything here reads like MS wanting this generation to drag on under the assumption that Sony did too.
I'm sure both would prefer to launch in 2014 but only if the other did too

No backward compatibilty whatsoever is a big failure: no headset, no x360 controller, no retail game, no digital game, and no plan to change this as "backward compatibilty is backwards"... In regards to all these faults you pointed, having an incentive to stick to the brand people invested in could have mitigated things. But there's actually no hook to not switch to a better proposal, which PS4 seems to be. At least PS4 will reuse move and Sony seems to be working on a way to port PS3 games to the cloud/find a way to satisfy their customers.I am still in shock at how big of a clusterfuck this is.
● The worst most, mis-communicated reveal in game industry history other than maybe Saturn.
● Once every 24 hour internet check just to be able to continue to play your games
● A horrendous proprietary used game system that gives pubs and Microsoft a 10% of the profits, thus ensuring the deals one can get on Used games are reduced and having less options for every gamer
● Complete inability to rent, lend or borrow games without paying a "fee", since every game must be installed. And the fee is the price of a brand new game, which Phil Harrison tells us to "think of it like a new game", because he is an abominable retard.
● Complete fucking tall tales and fabrications regarding the "Infinite Power of Cloud" which they did because...
● ...their system is a woefully underpowered trojan horse arbitrarily increased in price because of...
● ...a piece of shit dead-end gaming technology called "Kinect 2.0" which on top of being complete garbage for most genres, also is packed in with every system and...
● ...is also a horrendous invasion of privacy since it cannot be shut off without unplugging the system.
● A console which is also, after all this time, having massive eSRAM yield issues because Microsoft is caught rushing the One to the market.
● And they wasted their reveal talking about TV, TV, TV, TV, TV to do a function that nobody in their right mind would do if they had a DVR, to talk about sports and Kinect and have only two real games at their reveal.
● And is now liberally peppering all their attacks with a unhealthy dose of aggressive arrogance.
● On top of that gigantic shit sandwich, they have now also canceled their post-E3 media roundtable, presumably because they're tired of being eviscerated and embarrassed non-stop since January 2013. Once again, because of shit they did and no one else.
● Plus their presentation of their OS at the media reveal was confirmed to be completely fake, which wouldn't have been terrible except the entire time of the reveal they were trying to convince people it was real. "See how fast this thing moves!?"
DID I MISS ANYTHING GUYZ? Because holy goddamn shit at this point. This has been without exception the most biblical epic failure of console reveals, even topping the PS3's $599.99 just for its sheer confounding, aimless nonsense since the beginning of 2013. Not a single day has passed by without some relentless bit of tortuously negative Xbox One news.
The kicker? This is ALL Microsoft's fault and they should have seen the reaction coming a mile away since the problems they introduced of their own free will has been eviscerated among gamers and the press for years now, to say nothing of things like the Sim City or Diablo III debacle.
The proof is in the pudding. Holy goddamn fuck
Hahaha
Y2Kev is a nice guy, prolly other mods would've just banned you.
A reader who has all the systems minus wii u. Neogaf is good for news that hasn't hit other sites yet. If I'm defending the Xbox one, its because I'm sick of all the negativity.
Not sure if serious.
Sony's reveal was Meh. It only looks good because Microsoft's reveal was repulsive.
How is Sony mimicking the PS3? Cell? Now if your talking about a wide range of exclusive titles that go beyond FPS and Racing games, then you have a point. It can't be courting indies... I don't get it.
The fact that all leaked info from the devkits was incorrect should be proof enough. Just like the video from wired showing the Os running on stripped down version of the console. Yet none of this is released to further the bs being spewed and allowing the populous to overreact to whatever info is thrown out, yet declaring any info released by Ms as false or twisting it into negative. I find it incredibly hard to believe that MS was not prepared and will again wait to see for myself.
MS shouldn't be too worried, they will sell out day one. Why? Because of the COD, Madden, NBA 2k, and GTA gamers. These are the gamers that believe no other games exist outside of the once mentioned, the majority of gamers that give COD its billions, but would never touch Bioshock, The Last of US, or Dishonored. These are the gamers MS wants and the gamers that will keep the Xbone from flopping.

I'm clearly one of the only ones that is literally not bothered by a single piece of bad news surrounding this console.
I mean, even if the games are native 720p, so? Are those games good? Then who cares? I've said myself on many occasions I'd be happy with current gen visuals at 60 frames, 1080p with full AA.
Next gen visuals at 720/60 still sounds good to me. But then, when you own all the consoles I guess there's less need to justify a purchase. I mean, my WiiU is by no means a powerful console, but it doesn't transform into a robot at night punch me in the face as a result of what GAF thinks of it.
So as long as Microsoft doesn't reveal plans to have the One transform into a robot and punch me in the face, I should be good.
So...From what I've learned on GAF consensus is that whatever the majority of the forum agrees on, the opposite will actually happen.
I.E.: The Vita. Everyone thought the Vita was the best thing since sliced bread and looked what kind of sales its getting.
The 3DS: GAF thought it was the best thing since Vita sliced some bread and the system is only just hitting its stride.
Lets see what happens with the XB1 and PS4.

I saw this mentioned a few times, but I don't think is exactly truth. Most people thought the Vita looked good but not many, as far as I remember, thought it will sell like hotcakes.
This is honestly harder to parse than CBoaT's posts...

At this point I'm not sure I'd put it past them.
You're right. why do we even next gne consoles. current gen consoles are perfect fine.

Real talk my heart skipped a beat reading that post.
I can't miss GAF E3 ;-;
Riiight... I bet you believe it's a PR post as well.

Those people came from the PS2 to the 360. What's to stop them from going back to the PS4? Especially when Sony has exactly the same franchises?
This motivated me to go through the recent posts of our favourite insider, here's a summary of all the truthfacts (can't guarantee the interpretation!):
- Dead Rising 3 = exclusive
- ALL XB1 titles must have smartglass features
- The only reason EA is killing online passes is because they are going with mandatory online activation
- MS is 6 months behind in software development
- Respawn's new game is a timed exclusive on XB1, may also be on PC
- XB1 used to be always online, changed to every 24 hours after outcry
- Dragon Age 3, Mass Effect and Battlefield 4 are not exclusive
[*]Primal Carnage: Genesis is not a good game (ok, that one is not a megaton )
No. I'm saying it's incoherent.
Everyone should go show their support for Krillin!You're right. why do we even next gne consoles. current gen consoles are perfect fine.
I'm seriously wondering whether Sony will have to do the same with how high their spec are. Though they do seem to be a bit more competent when it comes to making reliable hardware, that can't change thermal realities if there is overheating.
Look at the price reveal thread. Everybody thought 3DS was done.

Full of people who aren't even interested in purchasing an Xbox One, quelle surprise.
Exclusive DLC!

Who said the 15 exclusives would all be shown at e3?
Are we ever going to get a decent dinosaur hunting game again?

I think that is what they are banking on. I could give 2 fucks.

People said the exact same thing when the PS3 was announced with the absurd price tag

Absolutely nothing is guarantied, there is no recipe for surefire success, look at the Wii U it launched with a 2D Mario game, the quintessential system seller and it is struggling with Dragon Quest 10 and Monster Hunter game to boot, in Japan of all places.
bwahwahahahahaWhat leaked info from the dev kits was wrong? It was so far almost all correct. Maybe you are thinking of the other leaked doc named Reiko's ass?
I'm clearly one of the only ones that is literally not bothered by a single piece of bad news surrounding this console.
They will sell out sure. But how many systems are they going to be able to make if they are running into so many fab problems? That is the question.
