How are they managing to shoot themselves in the foot this hard

I dunno. Probably get a fishing license instead.

Fishing in the lake district in England is lovely this time of year.

they very well might

making your current product less useful by discontinuing support in order to move customers to its shitty replacement
whoops I mean focusing our efforts on providing the most comprehensive experience possible to our valued customers on the Xbox One^TM brand
has always been on the table for internet-supported consoles (everybody still enjoying their Phantasy Star Online and Resident Evil Outbreak sessions?)

it's a shitty thing to do, and it won't happen for at least a couple years, but we were always heading there
also now they want to sell you one where this problem will be even worse when the Xbox Two (362 (four)) comes out in six-ten years

ok for real the only way they could have given this thing a shittier name is if they named it The X-Box or Xb3x

or like Flaming Dickshits '96

xbox chicken pox poop edition '5 billion

three things to look forward to when the xbox one is released:

1. microsoft not changing course at all despite the backlash
2. more backlash
3. millions of units sold anyways

I'll prob buy it.

why? what is on that console that you cant get on other consoles besides gears of halo. do you enjoy kinect games?
pls explain thanks

Live on 360 will probably see support for a good while. M$ loves money too much to discontinue it for at least the first 2-3 years.

what do you expect me to do instead? buy a wii u?? lol

PS4 is looking pretty good next to XB1.

At least they are aiming towards being a core game console rather than being the next TV/Watercooler.

Hell, a PC set up just for Steam's Big Picture mode is a pretty good couch-gaming experience these days, especially since it's hard to find a game from the past few years for PC that doesn't have controller support unless it's PC Exclusive.

Yeah this is sort of what I'm worried about. Corporate America is great at fucking over consumers while making horrible profits from slave labour.

Personally, I think a machine that plays video games should be used ONLY for video games. It should be completely specialized. Why would I need internet, netflix and skype on the machine I play video games on? That's I'm a edgy teen.



That's why I'm a PC gamer.
