I am actually very happy that Sony has humbled themselves and try to cater to the gamers, considering that their gaming division is not making as much money as they would like.
? Sony has always catered to gamers, their strategy hasn't changed.
PREDICTION: There will be an Xbox One Dream Team releasing mods to override all the restrictions and limitations of the console.
The mod will probably allow users to dual boot to a hacked and non-hacked OS to play online.
The hacked OS will allow:
Play used games if they have the disc
Always off Kinect
Bypass security checks
The #1 reason why people will buy the Xbox One and mod it is to play "backups"
So it looks like people have been cancelling the Day One preorders on amazon as the console is available again and standard edition is nowhere to be seen.

The PS4 is pretty much flooding the top 20 with all kinds of bundles and games.

Not even close. The PS4 has 50% more GPU cores, and it's memory bandwidth is 2.5x faster.Both consoles are virtually equivilent performance wise
HAH

GTX 780. That's one holy HELL of a lot more power than their DDR3 pile of garbage.
Just saw this and it reminded me...anyone see the article where the guy didn't see the hardware and followed the wires to a cabinet with a laptop in it? Then MS KGB swarmed him and took him to a side room and intimidated him into deleting the pictures?

This is where conceal carry comes in handy. Fuck your unlawful detainment.
Yeah I agree with you. I should have been more clear I meant real world performance will be similar. Simply having more powerful hardware doesn't necessary automatically mean better performing games..i.e. cell chip. Most games for both consoles will be designed to run at 60 FPS 1080P with AA/AF and both consoles can do that with no problem. The PS4 advantage might translate into better AA/AF but again the average gamer probably won't see the benefits. I still know people who can't tell the difference between 720P and 1080P and that is more pronounced.
In California? Can't do...
Also If your XBL account is banned for any reason, including someone accusing you of cheating etc. you lose all your game licenses.
one of the problems for MS right now though is it's not just nerdy gaming sites that are covering this MS debacle. it is hitting mainstream media all over the place. hell on sports talk radio yesterday, on the way home from work, on the 2 major talk shows i heard them discussing it lol.
This is exactly the point! We are not talking about nerd terms like DRM where the average Joe doesn't know anything about - we're talking about mainstream media coverage, eg. in regards to privacy issues. Huge deal in some countries.
The difference will be noticeable in time. As more developers become accustom to the hardware, the differences will appear. Games will run better and have higher detail levels. It just takes the right developer.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if XBOne still sells well at launch.
Reddit and general internet still represents a very small minority compared to the HUGE casual base who will blindly buy the console. My few friends who do casual gaming are pretty oblivious to this and are excited about Xbox.
Also the outcry and the attention span is very short. It's only June now. When holidays seasons come, people will still flock to buy lots of consoles, including Xbox.
