PS4 Discussion

[K0rN_b4LL]

I understand that this is a PS4 discussion, but I have a feeling that the system will do a lot better in the asian market than the Xbox 1. Here's why

A lot of people noticed that the Xbox one seemed very "American-centric" when it was revealed. I guess it's because they ONLY cared about the US market. I don't see how anyone could approve of this type of marketing.

Well the 360 has been pretty much failing in areas like Japan anyways (I think I read something that said that some game stores over there weren't even selling 360 stuff anymore) so there isn't much point business wise to promote something that the people have already shown to have very little interest in.

Okay that guy takes it a little too far. Adults dont forsake people for what console they use, but I guess you're using that video to fight off the people who have been bashing you for your view on xbox one, which is of course opposite the popular consensus that Microsoft and the x1 can eat a dick, and that's fair you have the right to defend yourself. Its the arrogance of microsoft is what people are angry about. In korns video the guy basically said "If you dont have internet, fuck you dont buy it." Thats what I got from it at least. And the reason you get bashed is because no one knows how you can just go along with that.

The guy might as well have said "Hey! If you dont want our shit, you might as well get your ass over to the local gamestop and preorder a ps4 because we dont give a fuck."

Well if this was about PS3 vs X360 then i would agree that its stupid. But this is not about the consoles. The X1 from a technical standpoint is a fine piece of hardware with decent games.
People are angry about M$ and its cheap policy behind the console. So this is not something about taste and preference in what games you like. Its about showing that you dont support being fucked in the ass by a company.

Especially when you are a fan of the original XBox you should ponder about wether to buy this console or not, because with your money you are essentially giving a vote. By buying an X1 you are telling the company that what they are doing is ok and they can go ahead with it. In other words, if you ever want a good Xbox without DRM again, you should not support this business model.

This does not mean that you have to buy a PS4 btw. You can buy a WiiU, a PC or just stick to your X360 but by all means dont buy an X1, dont support this bullshit please. All companies are inherently greedy and i can guarantee you if you buy an X1 now, in the next generation everyone will be doing DRM, including sony and nintendo.
