So Microsoft plans to reintroduce the Xbox One with a $399 price tag at Gamescom - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Skyward;41654670]Its almost like Microsoft is *GASP!* a CORPORATION! And its almost like they earn money from *GASP!* CONSUMERS! Call me mad, but... I think they try to make money... by appealing to consumers :o[/QUOTE] It's almost like corporations are there to *gasp* SERVE CONSUMERS

I love how people think this works. Apparently Microsoft is just some old bigwig that sits at his desk and when he's not counting his money he's pressing a button labeled "PISS OFF CONSUMERS - MAKE MONEY" And Sony is the console messiah coming in on chariots of fire to bring gaming salvation and consoles that were made out of love alone and not for profit. Apparently Sony isn't a corporation either.

[editline]30th July 2013[/editline] Its all coming full fucking circle man :o [editline]30th July 2013[/editline] You fuckin' dumbass.

It too was going to lack used games. The only difference was that MS was very upfront about it.

holy shit people take off your fucking tinfoil hats jesus christ

[QUOTE=Durrsly;41654573]That is awesome. I'm still a bit annoyed about DR3 being exclusive.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? DR3 looks like GARBAGE. Capcom just threw everything out the window as always and went "LOL WE WANT CALL OF DUTY. LET'S JUST DROP EVERYTHING FROM THE LAST TWO GAMES AND MAKE RE6 2.0" After all the bullshit that has happen, I don't even plan on buying a Xbox One. It's bad enough that they tried to force something that people didn't want.

[QUOTE=SIRIUS;41654770]It's almost like corporations are there to *gasp* SERVE CONSUMERS[/QUOTE] And your point is? kwk was trying to make microsoft seem greedy because they only changed due to money but any company worth a damn cares about profit. Their intentions shouldn't matter in an issue like this, we're getting a much better Xbone than what we were originally shown.

If that's true, then cool. More competition is always good. [sp]I still won't be buying in 8th generation, though. I only had a 360 for a year or so and sold it, consoles aren't really my thing.[/sp]

As much as I'm glad they're listening to the outcry and actively fixing their console in system and price. But I'm still put off by the initial showing, E3 conference, and sudden reverse a week after.

Introducing the $375 PS4

[QUOTE=Skyward;41654600]Shut up... If they go out of their way to fix the problems with the console- AND THEY HAVE- you don't say "WELL THANKS YOU GUYS STILL SUCK LOL" You don't boycott a product because of X and when they fix X you still shit on them. People bitch about online check ins? They remove them. NOT GOOD ENOUGH People bitch about the lack of self-publishing? They add it. NOT GOOD ENOUGH People bitch about high price tag comapred ot the PS4? They lowered it. NOT GOOD ENOUGH Seriously that's not how this shit works. If you don't give a fuck when they try to fix something they'll just stop trying fixing it because they'll realize people are going to hate them either way. If you acknowledge them doing something right they acknowledge you appreciating it and will be more likely to tailor their product to your wants. I mean fuck I don't even want an Xbox One that much but I am not dumb enough to shit on it for doing stuff right.[/QUOTE] When a company tries to grab every single dollar they can from me, I don't forget that. Maybe it's just me?

-snip- late

Now all they need to do is announce a complete 360 (no pun intended) on every other thing they did wrong.

[QUOTE=Keychain;41654885]Get rid of the always-online DRM and you've got yourself an acceptable console.[/QUOTE] Late to the game there.

[QUOTE=Keychain;41654885]Get rid of the always-online DRM and you've got yourself an acceptable console.[/QUOTE] Did you read [I]any[/I] Xbone news after E3?

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;41654896]they have[/QUOTE] Oh, shit. I need something else to complain about. Quick give me something

Mandatory Kinect

[QUOTE=Durrsly;41654907]Did you read [I]any[/I] Xbone news after E3?[/QUOTE] A lot, but they had so much shit to undo I lost track of what's been undone and what hasn't been

[QUOTE=Keychain;41654909]Oh, shit. I need something else to complain about. Quick give me something[/QUOTE] kinect

[QUOTE=TheCloak;41654593]Considering they did a complete 180 on their plans, yes. The Xbox One seems to be a viable console now.[/QUOTE] Rename it the Xbox 180

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;41654475]What, they think we're just going to forget the crap they spewed befoe?[/QUOTE] Who gives a shit? They're listening to their consumers, so A+ for them.

[QUOTE=abananapeel;41654932]Rename it the Xbox 180[/QUOTE] It's a better name the One.

Yeah maybe I'll get one In like 4 years when it's dropped further. Seriously I don't really think they're going to do a price drop. I mean, could happen but Microsoft said they're cutting everything to stop gamescom leaks, so having another after they're specifically looking out for em sounds more then fishy. As do every other console leaks

Competition is good for the consumer for a change!

Assuming this is true I suppose they must have to drop the kinect requirement for it to be priced at this level. It'll be strange if they do drop it seeing as how they've gone on about it being the next generation of home entertainment, I'd love to see them backpeddle on that front.

They don't give two shits about what people "appreciate" and will do whatever the fuck they want as long as the stream of cash keeps flowing. Just because they made some changes to their decision AFTER so many people have voiced their discontent regarding the entire concept of Xbone doesn't mean that now people should act all grateful and shit. They deserve all the flak they are getting and more. The customers are always right, and they shouldn't beg or be grateful because at the end of the day, they are the only reason they even function or exist as a corporation. [editline]31st July 2013[/editline] Stop defending them for the sake of defending them.

[QUOTE=Scot;41654888]Now all they need to do is announce a complete 360 (no pun intended) on every other thing they did wrong.[/QUOTE] Pun intended, because if they did a 360 they would still be in the place they are now...

If all they did was piss of consumers, where would they get money? Believe or not companies want to make their consumers happy SOLELY to get money. Welcome to the real fucking world, not fucking faerieland where Jack Tretton runs around giving out free PS4's out of the goodness of his heart. [editline]30th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Melnek;41654993] Stop defending them for the sake of defending them.[/QUOTE] Once people stop hating them for the sake of hating them, sure. Evidently you people don't know shit about how business works and are just shitting on them because its the thing all the hips kids are doing. Maybe once you realize how shit actually works you'd see that Microsoft is doing a good job with a bad situation.
