Never owned a console, no regretsThis, really.
I'm interested in the technical details. The PS4 was distinctly underwhelming from that point of view and only a dash above my PC. Struggling to find any details on the Xbox other than 8gb ram.
Red Dead Redemptionthat game justified bying the xbox for me
The social side is really the only benefit of consoles that I can see.
Yeah, bunch of 12 year olds yelling in the mic about what kind of sexual interactions they had with your mother, is a great benefit. :)
If I ever get a console it will most likely be whatever Valve come up with for their Steam Box (or whatever they called it). Would be great if it was even portable for playing steam games

"Red Dead:Rede(m)ption"
That is rather true. I never wanted that piece of garbage xbox anyway. I find HALO to be a stupid franchise and PS3 is better. But the only reasons I even sometimes consider owning a PS3 was cause of "Red Dead:Redeption", "Infamous" and "Uncharted". But thats still not enough reason to buy it. And blu-ray/dvd player/ kinect? Who the fuck cares about Blu-ray? Buy a smart-tv with HD screen, download a HD torrent stick it in the TV via USB and you all set. Nobody really wants to watch that superduper futuristic blu-ray that bad anyway. The console will probably cost a fuckloads too, considering its EA and Microsoft doing some shit, it means its probably overpriced as hell. Im quite sure you would get a pretty good TV for the cost of the new xbox.....
Herp derp merp Fanboy talk.
Halo is fucking awesome, the gameplay has not really changed over the years, that´s true ,but the story behind it is simply awesome and it is one of the BEST co-op games for consoles.
I have never ever understood people who say this. I like the first. Enjoyed the second and have found the others boring but it had nothing to do with the story. The story was rubbish all the way through. Have to say the co-op was good though.
lol good one. But seriuslly. Xbox 1? What are they fucking retarded? Even if its all-in-one its still incredibly stupid to call it 1. The name itself already suggest its made by morons.(click to show/hide)

It is a bit bizarre. The worst part is someone probably got paid a shed load of money to come up with it and several other names. Then a group of people sat around, discussed it and went 'well guys, I think we have a winner here. Xbox 1'. Can't understand how anyone settled on that without considering how dumb it sounds. Not to mention how ugly it is. Haven't spoken to a single person who likes the look of it.

Regardless of Microsofts fail, I wouldn't ever dream of buying a Nintendo console nowadays, as much as they say it's to "compete" with PS4 and Xbox One, it's not really. It appeals way more to the "family" types and kids, sure 'serious' console gamers might get one, but I bet they'll get either a PS4 or an Xbox One before they do, either that or they're just a massive Nintendo fan.
Most of the games I tried on that last Wii thing, I wasn't impressed at all, there are only a few decent serious games and I'd have to play it with a controller as I found motion control to be a massive gimmick. The hardware isn't capable of running anything that is going to look good compared to the Xbox One and PS4 ( I'd be surprised if it even manages to surpass the 360 and PS3's visuals ) and it's probably just going to have 90% of its games designed for kids, families or fanboys.
Not saying it's a bad console, just saying I don't feel Nintendo is even in the same market as Microsoft and Sony anymore.
I seriuslly dont get why are they forcing motioncontrollers so heavly down on people these days. Like Lessin said, the motiontec sucks. Its an unresposive mess. Either its selling well, despite this clear fact, that is known to absolutely everyone who ever used a motioncontroller before or they are simply trying to fool us
Well, imo console controllers are an extremely unnatural and imprecise way of manipulating anything on the screen... They really really suck. PC mouse is a 40 year old invention, that utilizes a 2D motions for 3D environment, if one might put it that way... Precise, but hardly optimal for 3D gaming. I really want some new hardware!

Give me these badboys! Something as precise as a mouse, but with a 3D movement! Yay!
I have to say that Playstation won long ago. Even with the 360. I remember when my aunt bought a 360 and some racing game. And she got seriuslly pissed off cause she couldnt understand what the fuck was a LIVE account was and why it was required and loads of other shit and a monthly fee. She was all like, fuck, why isnt this like an NES. Pop a disc in and play without any hasseling. The PS always beated the Xbox over that. Its amazing how they havent learned a damn thing and even took steps closer to the cliff with this new Onething, while adding more pointless shit nobody really asked for.
Critical downside : where do I rest my elbows ?
Why do they call it Xbox One?
Because it's 359 steps back.
How the hell did you get unmuted so quickly?.. It was like less than 24h!

I hope that one day, chadz won't become like J. Blow or M. Persson.
MS vs Sony on this year's E3 was basically Sony waiting for Microsoft to say something bad, then they jump out of the bushes to say the completely oposite thing. I don't find that kind of marketing awesome at all. Both companies are exactly what console crowd deserves.
So are people actually complaining that a console developer is listening to the legitimate complaint of their target audience and reacting too it? Sony could have done nothing and Xbox would still have ruined themselves: always on, region locking (lol half the EU can't use the system including poland, hungary, portugal), kinect requirement, TV focus, etc. I don't see what is wrong with Sony simply seeing what the target audience dislikes and saying they won't do that, it's almost like they're responding to consumer feedback and making a product that gamers actually want.
Are you telling me that sony wants to sell their system and are responding to feedback to do so? Shocking behaviour imo, they should definitely just stick to their guns and make a shitty system like Xbox plan on. That's be way better for the console market because then there would be two systems nobody wants to buy.
I do agree that they are being smug bastards and are basically just pushing Xbox into the pool of shit and vomit that they created for themselves. That's not very nice, but they are competitors and i don't really expect much else from the two companies. Talking about potential hardware faults is kinda pointless as there is noway of knowing whether that will happen or not.
Also AMD is the only winner in this console generation.
What has Notch done bad ?
Watching those nextgen consoles duking it out is quite amusing in a way, it's like watching Paralympics.

He's a hipster. People who worship him are hipsters too.
He stole the idea and presented it as his original idea.
His "followers" are calling anyone who wants to improve on that concept a copycat.
His game was very poorly coded in the beginning but he managed to persuade his band of hipsters that Java is awesome for writing video game engines and that shitty graphics and textures are the new fad.
He's acting all high and almighty by donating tens of thousands of dollars on every Humble Bundle charity auction but no one knows his what is his connection with Humble Bundle creators. One thing is certain, his game was never part of the auction. His game was never on any discount, as well.
He wasted too much money and time to port his game on X360 and now his game is Xbone exclusive.
He's also full of himself and thinks he's some godlike programmer, while he's the completely opposite.
Right now though, you are 100% right. Especially for things like minecraft with a huge visible world, C++ would really be much better.
Minecraft's problem is not Java, it's a mediocre Java programmer.
Really? Microsoft having customer insight? What about this?

I'm laughing so hard...
Edit: On second thought... Steam is the same shit, isn't it?
Afaik you can only be banned from Steam if you own stolen keys.
"can be" or "will be"? Because I'm pretty sure you "can be" banned for no reason whatsoever, if Valve feels like it.

Of course they can do whatever the fuck they want to your account on a whim, you basically agreed to that when registering. But pretty much everything works like this nowadays anyway, and Valve is one of the lesser evils.Real life comparison: Valve is like your buddy who occasionally fucks you over by stealing bit of cash from you and a few beers. Being buddies with Microsoft or EA(origingarbage) means that they fuck your mom every night, piss in your sink and take a shit on your couch.
