this is the best day ever! everyone is going crazy! i can’t stop laughing!
And they can’t figure out why they have a worse rep now than any time before. Thankfully Microsoft were real pals and decided to completely snag all their heat for the next gen so they can breathe a sigh of relief. Unless they go completely retarded out of nowhere this is the only ‘simmering blast’ I see them having this gen.
Fantastic.
Well at the very least they better have a way to keep all that DLC for newer games from outright fading from existence. I had to pay five bucks for Asura’s Wrath and I’ll be absolutely livid if my hard drive gets corrupted, I’ll have to format it but then find out PSN no longer exists meaning that I have to look up Youtube for the damn ending if I want to watch it again…..
I haven’t really followed it too much, I still have so much crap on PSP and PS3 to play. I bet you it will be as terribly implemented as the whole @Home ‘community’ thing. Sony just doesn’t have a good record on following shit they announce they will do. I bet they will at the very least fail PS2 emulation. PS3 isn’t too different from the new thing supposedly, and PS1 has always been playable aside from some odd titles like Tomba. I am betting though that PS2 will wind up becoming their ‘VGA’ of sorts. It’s the hardest of their four libraries to port (they needed a special part to emulate in older PS3s after all) and they will likely push the cost/time consumption onto the developers. So any dead devs or devs without that game’s original crew will likely skip porting it. If they try to do it themselves it will wind up as puny as Virtual Console’s TG16 library due to laziness.
Oh yeah that reminds me, how is that “work around” they promised coming along? And what is going to happen should the PSN go caput like it’s been said it will?
No compatibility with anything else, not even PC. If you get Xbox One unlike the other two you are essentially ‘starting fresh’ as if you just bought your first system. Meanwhile PS3 let you access everything previously if you had the disc, PS4 is going to try and do somewhat similar but digital only, so higher failure/nonport rate, Nintendo has the VC.
Calling it the One seems like they’re trying to force a meme/sales prophecy, and it’s gonna be funny to watch it not come true at all.

An especially egregious mistake to make, considering the failure rate the 360 had.
My question is how the hell does access to television on your console suppose to “reinvent the wheel”? Even the Wii had television on it if I recall!
A lot of it sounds like they are trying to ‘reinvent the wheel’ and trying to get the same success Nintendo did in 1983. By…Doing the exact same thing, except there wasn’t a crash, and the other two major consoles are doing just fine. MS’ executives are literally 30 years behind the curve. Even more hilarious because many of them were probably still children then too. How in the hell do you even get to this point?
not to mention the fact that he just alienated a large part of the xbox fandom and completely blew the chance to fix everything
Believe it, this is clearly a man who doesn’t grasp the concept of a console dying and all of the games for it going to complete uselessness (as one of the article commenter pointed out), a scenario that the very nature of backwards compatibility is meant to prevent.
omg what an idiot….I cant believe he is that stupid.
Well as long as the point of backwards compatibility is not lost then carry on then, frankly I’m tired of hearing the people who say that keeping old games available (in any sense or form be it ports or whatnot) is a wasted effort.
He was speaking of PC-fying it. Which would actually have expanded the library come to think of it. Thanks to places like gog they’re making as many old games as they can work on modern comps, they could have directly competed with Virtual Console if they went that route. But alas, they are le derp, all the way to the top, le derp.
Moot point huh? Yeah right, when ALL modern games fresh off the assembly line are able to truly surpass the games of yesteryear in terms of quality, magic and fun you let me know, until then backwards compatibility is a must.
And as for the Kinect 2.0, well, chances are even with the new tech in it we’re still gonna get games like Steel Battalion and Sonic Riders making the Kinect 2.0 the real moot point.
If Microsoft wanted to take a radical approach, they could’ve made the XBox One be not a console. The XBox One could have been an all-in-one, out-of-the-box ready gaming PC at an attractive price point.
And it’s not like they would’ve lost anything by doing this, either. There’s no backwards comparability anyway. Supporting legacy software is a moot issue.
And it sounds like the Kinect 2.0 is already getting a PC version, so…
_Take a look at ASUS’s laptop’s or ACER V3-771G series very cheap best value for money.
Yeah, seems like an exercise in redundancy to me.
With that kind of cash, you could easily get yourself a moderately high end PC that could do a lot more than just play games.
I mean, really. If you’re going to spend that sort of money, you might as well just go to Cyberpowerpc or something.
Agreed. Like I’ve stated on this subject in a few different discussions, I have a group of friends I regularly lend games to and borrow games from. Since this means we’re playing each other’s games on our own consoles, we’re not logging into each other’s accounts.
Holy shit, you might as well build your own gaming PC on that kind of cash O_o
