I do not understand their strategy. I really do not. And this really seems like a very dick-ish thing of them to say. And do. How are gamers going to feel if there's an internet outage in their area for a few days(it happens)? They won't be able to do jack with their XBone.
That's Canada now apparently. I couldn't even be bothered to count how many times Vancouver/Montreal were mentioned so far at E3. Plus Bioware is here in Edmonton. Well, at least the world sees us as good for something.
That and we have Rush and Neil Young.
Hey, Canada gave us William Shatner and Michael J. Fox.
Xbox one has the most exciting games of any console launch with ac4 codghost , ryse, deadrising 3, and halo, titanfall, and destiny on the horizon.What's Sony got, not much.
Yeah, not much besides a console that isn't destined to become a useless brick.
My favorite quote from Microsoft: "I don’t even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub but I’ve got to imagine it’s not easy to get an internet connection."
What's brilliant about that is the fact that half the games in that rant are actually multiplatform, so they'll be on the PS4 as well. Fanboyism at its best.
oh look if we buy day one we get an exclusive achievement !!! WOOHOOO
Fucking achievements! The few times I've played my PS3 games online; I've had people saying "haha, you don't even have any platinum achievements"! No, I don't. Do you know why? Because I have a fucking life and I play games for fun, not to collect some worthless and meaningless acheivement.
Fuck achievements.
Besides, isn't labeling someone buying an XBone on day one an "achievement" a bit of a falsehood? That is unless the details of the achievement reads as follows...
"You've achieved being a gullible sap for spending 500 bucks on a brick. Congratulations, you massive twat."
''What's games?''-Spent one week watching nothing but TV and never playing a game
''Just let it happen''-Say that one line from the Killer Instint reveal at E3 online to show how much of an asshole you are.
''Following the footsteps''-Go to a much better console's event and beg people to play Xbox One showing how much of an idiot fanboy you are.
''No playing for you''-Sorry but you don't have an internet connection idiot so no playing Xbox for you, enjoy your brick''
Come everyone lets see what achievements we can come up with!

yeah i thought the same, especially when some games make cheevo's so darn hard or awkward to get or even the really lame simple ones like the simpsons 'putting in the disc'.. mainly the idea everyone who buys games plays them online and in deathmatching stuff... but those who don't do much /any/ very little online mp (like meas i mostly do co-op like pve) are ostrasized/told to fuck off/ teased by others...yet they then decide to make some of them doable in private matches against bots and then go back tot he previous online only...gears judgment being the recent game that did that.

Tits or GTFO: show the kinect your boobs or moobs.
The illegal danish: Play CoD when you are only 12years old.
No it doesn't work: cover the Kinect lense with something.
You're completely fucked: try to play a used game.
I can see you!: Feel safe in the dark. You'll still go blind from it.
'Batting for the Other Team' - You've traded your XBone for a PS3. Bill Gates is now on his way to your house. Upon his arrival you will unlock the 'Punched in the face by a geek' achievement.
'Batting for the Other Team' - You've connected a wii u / ps4 to the xbone and used voice command play ps4/wii u. Bill Gates is now on his way to your house. Upon his arrival you will unlock the 'Punched in the face by a geek' and 'the buy out' achievement.
well the moment you use it the first time you have to create an account and configure Kinect to respond to your voice. I guess that makes reselling it hard. To your twin brother maybe. As long as he lives in one of the supported countries of course.
You know what? I'm a games collector, so, while I won't get an Xbone at launch, I will eventually get this $499 paper weight, since a collector doesn't really miss out on consoles.

Just buy a $5 one when someone lost there internet for a few days.
At the end of the day, I like games. And yes, the XBone has some interesting exclusives that I'd like to play. So eventually, I will no doubt pick one up, just like I've picked up (almost) every other console with games that have interested me. I picked up an XBox Classic for one game for christ's sake, and it didn't even turn out to be all that (it was Galleon, since I'm sure you're curious).
So yeah, I'll pick up an XBone at some point.
That point being some five years down the line, obviously.

Good luck finding the games at a good price then. You know: no used games but limited shelf-space. And Ebay can be a horrible place to buy stuff that no longer is sold elsewhere.
Not exactly a good interview, but an interesting one.
Something interesting was the question of "What if publishers don't want all of the DRM and restrictions that Xbox One has?", which got the answer "If there are publishers that want things differently than what we have set, then we will gladly work with them to find a solution". Publishers could possibly shut down the Xbox One's DRM, at the same time the PS4 can have publishers possibly turn on their own DRM... interesting.
It sorta pissed me off how the guy kept trying to talk over AJ
Edit:It pisses me off even more how much an asshole this guy acts to AJ. ''Are you on the development team? then i don't think you can say its simple'' Ugh.
Xbox One is the future? HA HA HA. That's far far far from the truth. PS4 is the future, Lets you play offline, no pre-owned games BS,More powerful that Xbox Zero,great exclusives.

I'd say he was half right. Digital is for sure the future, and has many advantages over retail(unless you are Nintendo where digital is tied to a console and not an account). At the same time, digital flat out kills the used game market. This appears to be what all 3 companies are doing. Pushing to from retail to digital. Xbox One discs are essentially install discs for digital and nothing more(based off of what we know anyway).
Honestly, the system Microsoft has is essentially Steam for consoles. The big issue IMHO is the 24 hour checks/restricting the nations that can use Xbox One.(which I thought was better than steam, but it appears their offline mode finally works. I've always had to be online for offline to work until now.)

I'm surprised. I think that's the only picture I've seen of Miyamoto where he isn't grinning like a maniac or at least smiling.
Ugh, that pisses me off to no end.
Urgh, comments like this piss me off no end...

There is only one appropriate sound clip for that.

But, now we'll have a way of knowing who these massive twats are.
Touché Microsoft.
So far that's the only plus for XBone.

and i wonder how many of them are only getting it for cod ghosts 'uber gfx' edition..
still really want to know what the line up is on launch to see if it's even worth considering..
the day one bundle even includes a hdmi cable! and a little 'day one 2013 graffic on the controller...
oh yeah i wonder how easy it will be to switch between the 360 live and the xbone live once people activate/convert to the xbone from the 360...
i watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ5s3jVOToQabout the 'impulse triggers' is basically a button/trigger with a built in rumble motor.. which seems 'fun'.

Then the universe implodes in on itself.
also known as multitasking ?
'caught with your pants down' kinect chat with your lover who is in the mood.
or
'got ahead in life' was given oral sex whilst xbone is active.
'exercise freak' since day one of owning your xbone you have lost weight.
'couch potato' since day one you have GAINED weight...
the "hall 9000 or " i can't let you do that 'dave' " forgot to switch on with in 24 hours and tried to play offline.
'i c wot u did thar' performed a offensive jesture at your tv..
'y u do dis' made someone cry online during an online match
'like a sir' did something wearing a top hat and monacle/glasses holding a wine glass.
'sucessfull troll is..' pulled a 'grinning troll like face'
'Batting for the Other Team' - You've traded your XBone for a PS3. Bill Gates is now on his way to your house. Upon his arrival you will unlock the 'Punched in the face by a geek' achievement.
fixed
I don't think this guy knows the meaning of the word "reasonable".
And the hole keeps getting bigger for microsoft
''Should've have gotten it new''-Sorry idiot but you tried to play a used game, time to pay up for the license.
well the moment you use it the first time you have to create an account and configure Kinect to respond to your voice. I guess that makes reselling it hard. To your twin brother maybe. As long as he lives in one of the supported countries of course.
Well at least that isn't happening.
Indeed. Microsoft are now merely Ultra-Incredibly-Stupid, as opposed to Super-Duper-Ultra-Incredibly-Stupid.
Well done, Microsoft.

It felt more of a debate than an interview. It wasn't a good debate, but it did bring some new light onto the Xbox One.

well attempted luring anyway.
A good number of us disagree completely.
