I hope MS pays big for this, just like they're paying big for being such greedy a-holes with Windows 8.
Honestly, given all they did with the upcoming console, I am sure it will all bite them back hard.

The only ones I can see getting this are the usual people who buy something just to resale it on eBay for higher profit.

Aside from that, I don't see a market on this.

Anyone read this ridiculous Article?

I don't know what Microsoft is smoking, but I want some of it! :lol:

Xbox720 sounds like a more meaningful name. Better yet, that XboxOne should be called XboxWTF!

Seriously Microsoft, just stay out of the NextGen race this year.  Trust me, you'll be better off for it. :yes

Yeah they need to stop making video games period. They need to stick to making software that is what they're good for. XBOX isn't really a good system I own one and I don't even use it. I haste the XBOX360 now they're making this abomination now. I'm not gonna gonna waste money on this either. I like Microsoft and all but there consoles just suck and I see not point in them making this XBOX One. I hope it bombs in sales so I laugh at all the people that work for the company and shove there stupidity down there throats.

You guys want to know their excuse for the "always online" DRM?  It's to "check for pirated copies".

However, didn't Nintendo do that with their NES?  That was BEFORE the Internet.  They did it with nothing more than a secret code installed into a chip.  It took 4 years to crack!

Simply, you don't need this "always online" DRM to prevent piracy.  It's quite unnecessary in the end. :)

I've known that the "always online" thing was their attempt at prevent piracy for some time now. I forget where I heard it from, though.

No. This is to increase their revenue by monitoring your Xbox one library. This is Microsoft being straight up manipulative of your use of their system after your purchase.

Personally I love XBOX/XBOX360.  The PS3 is okay I guess and the Wii is awful (though the Wii U is worse).  But it looks like it will be PS4 for me this round.  I won't support this crap.

I love my Wii and I support Nintendo fully. I don't think the Wii is awful Sony sucks a lot. I hate sony and there products =. They're made cheaply and poorly and they break easier. I've always hated Sony and the god awful pieces of crap. But to each there own. The Wii-U yes that is such a stupid thing. I don't see the need or purpose to have two screens to look at. I found that confusing and annoying. The controller is big and clunky and a pain to use. I will always support Nintendo tho. I never supported Microsoft's Game console's at all. If people like that that's cool I never loved them. They have very bad games. With the acception of Halo and a couple of others.

I don't hate Sony. I don't think it sucks. In fact, I happen to enjoy a lot of their games. They don't seem cheaply made to me; all my Sony stuff has lasted a long time. In fact, only one Sony console has ever failed on me, and that was the PS2. It finally died. But my PS1, despite being the filthiest console you'd ever see, it still works. And despite PS3 being vulnerable to the yellow light of death (supposedly) I never once suffered that.

Nintendo is not the only successful video game company. And it certainly isn't the "god of video games". None of the video gaming companies are superior to another. Besides, if Sony were as bad as you say it is, Petrie85, they would have went out of business years ago. And yet they are still around. Obviously they are doing something right.

Get banned and lose your games?  How do you all feel about that one?
Even Steam lets you play your games offline  when your account is banned.  :slap

Just wow...

I'm really happy this is the year I get a gaming PC. I'm sure Sony console will be "alright" but the only reason there doing well is because the Xbox One is the worst thing to happen in gaming ever. Not trying to say anything bad about Sony but it doesn't mean Sony won't do something bad as well like putting adverts before you start a game or what ever.

Looking bad my PS3 is still working and so is my PS2 and PS1 which is kind of wired because use to play five or more hours a day gaming.

Oogh. :x  The ONLY way I'd ever get this Xbox One is if a Sonic game was made exclusive for it. (That, or maybe Okami, Spyro, or Kingdom Hearts, which I doubt) <_<

I'm not even gonna get this piece of garbage I doubt it will sell any systems. But I'm sure people are gonna buy it and realize they made a horrible mistake and return it.

Also, remember that the infrastructure is still built into the console, just disabled.
