Xbox One Discussion

Curious, who told you they weren't focusing on games? Statements like this bother me because it's a serious leap in logic to try and think that. We've heard about the DRM and about their "extra" stuff, but while they haven't talked directly about what games are coming yet (E3 right around the corner again, blah blah blah) I haven't seen anything that said they are explicitly NOT focusing on playing games. Can I please see that link?

The official "Xbox One Reveal Highlights" video on YouTube from Microsoft and everything has PS4 in the url.

I cannot contain my sides.

In case you haven't forgot, we don't EVEN KNOW what PS4 is going to look like, nor did they really release any information about how they are probably going to adopt Xbox's non-used games policy which every one hates so much.

Funny how people are insulting the Xbox One for replacing your Cable Box, it's the stupidest statement ever. Why didn't I say back in 2005 "HOW DUMB! The PS3 plays DVDs too? That's what my DVD player is for duuuh!" Jesus... people and their blind hate...

EXCEPT FOR THEM EXPLICITLY STATING THAT IT’S ABOUT AN “ALL-IN-ONE HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM”. IF SOMEONE BEGINS TO PORTRAY THEMSELVES GOING IN AN ALL-NEW DIRECTION, THEY DON’T HAVE TO FILL IN THE BLANKS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO CONCLUDE THEY PROBABLY DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT FOCUSING ON THEIR ROOTS TO THE SAME DEGREE ANYMORE.

AND EVEN IF THEY SUDDENLY DO PROVE OTHERWISE, IT’S THEIR OWN DAMN FAULT FOR MISLEADING PEOPLE WITH SUCH FALSE IMPRESSIONS. IF PEOPLE DIDN’T HAVE THESE REACTIONS, THEY’D BE WORSE OFF IN THE LONG-TERM, INEFFICIENT AT LIFE AND UNABLE TO READ BETWEEN LINES.

That will be difficult given that the PS4 is designed to work without any online connection at all.

Additionally, Microsoft invested heavily in bulding a server infrastructure that Sony doesn't have. THey're not likely to have a sever dedicated to each game etc.
