Interested to see what it looks like, but I doubt I'll be investing in a next gen system at release prices.

So far it's all been "what if", obviously most of us are hoping it's not true.

There's definitely been enough "hints" that you can speculate about things. It's up to Microsoft to prove the doubters wrong and so far they have a lot to prove.

The only exciting thing about a new generation of consoles is that they will come a bit closer to pushing PCs to what they should have been doing. Crysis from 2007 was more sophisticated than any game released for the consoles so far, imagine what PC games could be like if piracy hadn't made them a far less attractive option then consoles for game producers.


I never understood the love for this game. Yes it was a very pretty game but when it came time to play it absolutely nothing about it is really memorable from a gameplay perspective.

I am very eager to see the reveal. I thought Sony's reveal of the PS4 was great. Sure, a lot of people bitched at them for not showing the console, but there are still many events coming up to show it off. Besides, they want to save some things for later. I have never owned the original xbox or 360 since I never liked the idea to paying a subscription to play online and all the add-ons that you had to buy during the 360's launch. I was never interested in any of the 360's exclusives either. I played Halo and Gears of War casually at a friend's house, but it wasn't addictive enough for me to drop money to buy the console and games. I always found the PS3's exclusives to be much better in quality.

I honestly can't see the new xbox being always online. Maybe a few games might require it, which I'm OK with, but not the entire system.
The gaming hardware industry is coming to a very crucial point this Christmas. The two new generations of console, plus the new steam box(es) are coming out at the same time. Also with the rise of "Casual" Gaming (Tablets, Oyua (however you spell it) etc), the industry has become extremely competitive, with rather low profit margins. E.G Consoles being sold at a loss, just to get them into houses, with money being recouped through game sales.

Microsoft can't afford to make a mistake at the moment. Or they will lose out big time. I honestly can't see the console being always online (At least on launch). I will be flabbergasted if it is. and it will be a HUGE mistake IMHO if they do.

Starcraft is not always online. How can you think that it is?!
You can still play without an internet connection. The only things you lose are Multiplayer (pretty obvious that one) and achievements (OH noes!). You can play up to 30 days with out an internet connection. After the 30 days are up, the game reverts to the starter edition until it connects again. But if you have a save of the game completed on you hard disk, you can still play any campaign mission you want (I work on boats for up to 5 weeks at a time, so I have had to deal with this).
Ever noticed you can type "Starcraft" with just your keyboard hand?

I can't stress enough how much I hope this always online requirement is false. 90% of the time (if not more) that I play my consoles, it's without an internet connection. At this point, I was leaning towards the MS console whenever I do get the "next gen" because fighters tended to run slightly better on the 360 than ps3, but an always online requirement outweighs that by a ton.

Not going to buy either console as long as there aren't any interesting games around. My favourite type of games, RTS, is PC-only anyway.

Everyone is talking about this always online business but nobody is talking about the GAIMEZ! What 1st party quality games does XBOX have besides Halo and GoW? Everything else is 3rd party which is also released on the Playstation or it's crapware in Kinect. I wonder if Microsoft will push Kinect integration even further into the new XBOX.

360 was never 600 bucks brand new. i dont remember any console costing that much unless you'r willing to pay a stupid premium day of release.

'And because Consoles cannot have High-End PC Hardware, because no one wants to pay ~600$ for a Console anymore - this will still be the Case even with new Consoles.'

are you fucking dumb.


PS3 cost $600 when it first released

Never was much of a xbox fan, but we knew this was coming. Will be interested to see the exclusive games they have, 360 was pretty weak with that. I hope the always online is not true, because I think that is just silly and will hurt them. Unless MS is gonna make the US internet infrastructure #1 lol.


Weak exclusive games compared to what? pS3? Wii? I don't see what was so grand about their exclusive games--Uncharted and Mario/Zelda. And none of them were worth picking up a ps3 or Wii for.


I personally bought a PS3 for the exclusives. Valkyria Chronicles being among the ones I wanted.

I would not have bought an xbox 360 if they hadn't had Mass Effect, it was the only exclusive on the platform I wanted. Then it wasn't one and I gave the 360 away since there was no point to it any more.

It is of course always up to personal taste which games one wants to play. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_exclusives_(seventh_generation)

I personally never play shooters on console if I can help it. I don't play sports/motor based games either, singing/music/motion type of games are a no go as well. Removing like half the games on the list. Oh and I hate QTE.

I've come to dislike Microsoft so much, I don't think I could buy this even if I had whatever ridiculous $ amount they're going to ask for it lying around.

consoles have been sold at a loss for years, this isn't anything new.

the OG xbox was sold at a loss, 360, ps3, all of these , they generally don't start turning a profit until more than halfway through the product cycle.

glad to see console tech finally updating, and adopting more PC features. Can only be good for pushing PC development forward also.

I am not so sure. As consoles have decisively won the video game market, certain notable PC games are being consolized and their PC versions are just fainty disguised ports that depend on hours of free work by modders to make them enjoyable. Look at Skyrim, on PC its basically an xbox port. Terrible UI, simplified combat. The only hope for true PC games are either (a) a developer who would rather make a great game rather than just make money hand over fist or (b) a developer who is like Blizzard, with a giant cash cow like WoW that lets them splurge on something like SC2.

it was high tech though, bluray and cell processor was ahead of its time when ps3 released.
i dont think it'll matter too much now since xbox, ps, and pc will all have similar architecture, i'd assume its easier on developers too.

i'd be down for xbox only if its online service is free, now especially since they're making it always online. it'll be a serious slap in the face if they require internet connection and make you pay for it.

According to Kotaku, games will "suspend" after three minutes if the machine is not connected to the internet.


Sounds like it's diablo 3 ready :p, but it's according to kotaku, not exactly a reliable source. Anyhow very interested to see what ms are going to bring to the next generation!

I wonder if he will be a better carry. (I wonder how many people will actually get that joke.)

I don't care too much i stopped using my 360 a long time ago. I am almost solely PC with the exception of Nintendo first party titles.
