Canuck:

So what does MS do now? Mount a retreat? Drop their price by $100? Throw the whole DRM scheme in the garbage? They will be the only console that doesn’t allow you to give away your games to your friends.

They’re fucked. Their only hope is that the Wii crowd moves to the Xbox One.

The Playstation 4

November 15th, 2013 Update: PS4 has been released today! How is it everyone? Never owning a Sony Playstation before and after learning more about the Xbox One I think I have become a Sony convert. So, I had to start the thread. RELEASE DATE: ...

Thank you.

They have to change the price or they are going to repeat the performance of the PS3 and go from first (excluding Wii) to last in a single generation. Price in this market is just too important to miss by this much.

Maybe they should change the name from Xbox One to Xbox Last.

Looks like MS will release an Xbox One without the Kinect with a $399 price point.

Bet?

I would go with “Xbox Lost”.

If they can do it they will. They now have to hit the 399 target in some form or fashion.

Xbox Hubris Edition.

They’re betting that most people don’t really care about that stuff, they just say they do.

And they very well may be right about that…

Xbox One won’t even function without a Kinect plugged in.

That gaming PC price is wayyyyyyyyyy over the top DrDel…

BEST PCs you can build for $600 or $1200

Oohh, thank you for that. I’m saving up to build a new PC early next year, and that’s very encouraging. :) /derail

It’s amazing how Sony and Microsoft have changed places. I guess having one or two successful consoles makes it impossible to not become so arrogant that you totally suck.

And Microsoft wants $299 for the new 250gb redesigned 360, 8 years after the launch of the original! That’s only $100 less than a PS4!

The PS3 made a pretty good comeback last generation. Maybe Microsoft can do the same with the One. They’ll have to write off the first couple of years until they can release a cheaper redesign. Mattrick will have to resign to take the blame. They can also hope really hard that the PS4 red rings.

Angry posters on the internet seem to have settled on “the XBone”. When it comes to insulting nicknames for hardware, I prefer The Commode 64, as the Commodore 64 was known to its detractors.

Thongsy · 2013-06-10T22:05:11.000Z

XBone is suppose to be an insult? I was confused at first why they were calling it an X Bone but it’s just the shorten form of X Box one. Can’t call it the Xbox or Xbox1 as that will be confused with the original and people are lazy and will always shorten things down so XBone it is.

Ahem, “Trash 80”.

Yes I know, you’re drunk.

Not sure if this was already posted, but this was news to me:

actual Xbox One games licensing policy:

Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

This sounds great. Why the hell was this buried away on the web site and not mentioned at all in their keynote?
