Xbox One is probably going to outsell the PS4 and Wii U because it caters to casuals
[QUOTE=Dr.C;40761651]Xbox One is probably going to outsell the PS4 and Wii U because it caters to casuals[/QUOTE]
Except the last thing a casual gamer would do is buy an overpriced set top TV box.
The casual gamer will probably just use their phone
I think even the casual crowd is like "what the fuck m$"
This pretty much leaves the legions of COD players and Microsoft zealots who have pledged their soul to it.
They should have just called the thing the CODBox...
The Xbox One is competing with :-
- Smart TVs (Netflix etc).
- Xbox 360 (Netflix, games etc.)
- Other consoles
- Set top boxes
They've bitten off more than they can chew, the market is already saturated with smart devices and you didn't show off any new games. What the fuck are you doing! There's no chance they'll have a repeat of the 360's success.

Nothing really went on here.
[QUOTE=ironman17;40759682]Well, now that lots of people have bought Wii U, hopefully we'll get more titles for it; the abundance of the console in homes should be incentive for developers (and publishers) to say "Huh, the system is actually selling; the market share might be worth making games for this thing".
Also, if anything good has come out of the Xbone announcement, it's that Nintendo will get more money, the chance for more quality Wii U titles on the market increases, and hopefully Nintendoesn't need to steal the ad-revenue from LPers like chuggaaconroy and NintendoCapriSun; the kind of LPers that deserve the money for all the effort that goes into production value. At least for Chugga that is; I haven't watched Tim's content but I can assume he puts similar amounts of effort into his LPs.
Personally, if Nintendo stops the whole ad-revenue "thievery" (not technically thievery but it's taking money from people who clearly care and LP in a professional fashion, which is abhorrent on so many levels), I will think about getting Skyward Sword; otherwise I'll just have to stop caring about Zelda, since even watching an ad-supported Let's Play would have ads giving undeserved revenue to Nintendo, and I do not want to be a dirty feeder that causes the enemy to win. Believe me I know about this; I'm big into Dota 2 and I know the consequences of carelessly dying and giving gold to the enemy.[/QUOTE]
What the fuck is with the progression of this post
I have a friend who owns a Wii U, and it is actually a damn fun machine to play with with your friends.
Xbox ones reveal was the best thing to happen to literally everyone else but microsoft

What if it was a ploy by Microsoft to unite all gamers toward one hatred for the Xbox One?
Probably not intentionally but it's happening anyway

No, its not fake, here is the [url=http://es.finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SNE#symbol=sne;range=1d;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;]source[/url][/QUOTE]
And so it did.
[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;40759380]Xbox, go home.[/QUOTE]
They really, really shot themselves in the foot with that phrase.
With a shotgun.
If Microsoft announces some good exclusives at E3 then they're not completely done.

Watch 80% of the games be kinect titles.
You know, like the past 3 Microsoft E3 conferences.

However, it looks like they've lost a lot of sales from people who don't have loyalty to a brand.[/QUOTE]
The most recent Gears game didn't do very well apparently, not many fans liked it.

Gears 3 was a perfect ending. Nothing needs to be done anymore. Judgement, much like Halo 4 just felt like a really quick in-casher.
Whats the betting Microsoft will still be charging a fee for live as well

I haven't personally played Judgement, yet the response I get from people when I talk about it is pretty negative. I always thought the ending to Gears 3 felt like the ending to Terminator 2. Everything is set in stone that it shall not continue and the series is finally put to an end.
Yet it's somehow continued on even if Judgement takes place a few years before the first game. I always thought that was the role of the comics to fill in the blanks in between the games.
I put a new source in the OP.
