Microsoft Respond To Concerns Over Xbox1

[Konqrr]

It's a standard. XB1 has a simple, non-invasive DRM built into the console that requires no additional work for the developer and the user knows what to expect.

If you lube up, it doesn't tear my anus, but it's still rape ^_^

Heads up; http://www.giantbomb.com/playstation-4/3045-146/forums/ps4-publishers-can-dictate-their-own-drm-1440371/#122

Thank God the PS4 doesn't force any of my games to have some form of DRM. If any of it happens, it will be minimal. Any big ideas a publisher has to go full DRM on the PS4 risk a big loss in sales.

God I hope the ps4 sells a ton that way we have the leverage we need to keep that shit away.

So connecting to the internet to validate is rape, huh? 54 million Steam users must be the largest victim group in the world.

There's all that hope again. Large scale game boycotts haven't worked in the past, but I'm sure they'll work just great when a AAA title has publisher mandated online authentication.... or people will just buy the game anyway (Diablo III, anyone?).

Forcing me to do something against my will = rape as defined as "any violation or abuse" (ie: the rape of freedom)

I stopped at Diablo 2.

To be fair, there's still a good chance that Xbox360 might end up being a better console than PS4.

Just because Xbox One auto-killed itself in fetus stage doesn't make PS4 the best console of all time. In the end it's the available games and their content/quality that are going to matter, not their next gen graphics. And there's a shit load of games on 360 I still want to play.

Also can't say I've been really impressed by most of the new games I've seen from Sony or Microsoft tbh.

Xbox One: Killer Instinct, whatever other exclusives

PS4: Elder Scrolls Online (maybe, I dunno yet), FFXV, Watch Dogs, The Witcher 3, MGS, Destiny.

That's still just 8 games I'd like to try. Half of which might end up sucking really bad. And even then, I'm looking forward to Dark Souls 2 and GTA5 a lot more than most of the games I listed.

its doesnt make the ps4 the best system.. yeah your right but if you really want to make the leap sony atleast made note of what people want...

the only thing that is keeping me a little interested in Xbox spyware 1 is killer instinct 3 but hell given the fact that there will be no tournament scene based on the xbox 1, that game probably wont a long life expectancy .. microsoft isnt even thinking about the FGC in general and the core gamers of this age (like my son) dont give a damn about KI or wasnt even born when it came out originally lol... all my kids care about is that god awful C.O.D. series which they abandon every year for whatever is new...

which leads microsoft in the dust for exclusives which they have never had great exclusives outside of halo...... its a wrap for microsoft....

they should of made a killer instinct remix or just plan put out KI3 on 360 as well.

I don't particularly disagree with your statements Cee.. I am simply trying to get people to not sleep on the XB1 and see where they are trying to push consoles (and as a result.. Us as gamers). Wether or not they are able.. Only time will tell... Microsoft has made bold statements.. Release day and the first year the pressure is on them to deliver.

Regardless of thoughts, opinions or allegiance - this is going to be one hell of a console war.

 

[Spitfire Riggz]

Lmao the developers of the witcher just realized the xbox1 isn't even going to launch in Their home country... The irony

With Sony leading the poll on Amazon 20 to 1... one hell of a slaughter.

console war? man I don't see the war this year.... microsoft committed suicide.... their numbers probably wont make it past the Wii-U numbers if they are lucky..... I bet bill gates wanted to come out of retirement and slap everyone at microsoft in the face for what they've done in the past 6 yrs... I for one was a HUGE xbox fanboy since I played halo 1-2 and now Ive realized microsoft dont give a shit lol they want your money and now xfinity wants they money for you to play this system lol.....

damn microsoft why

The result of a system success/failure is gaged during the lifespan we are talking about MILLIONS in numbers.. (Not factual, an example ONLY) Sony: PS3 -72 MILLION units moved
Microsoft: 360- 72 Million units moved...

Polls that drop after explosive/controversial news drops tend to show artificial numbers due to the stress of (anger, sadness, disagreement, spur of the moment, knee jerk reactions)

When the results of all your polls reflect the MILLIONS...AND THEN the sales charts show the same.. Then you can site it as a credible source.

So basically, you don't want to admit that everyone hates the xbox till you get sales figures. How nice.

And do you understand the concept of representative polls or are you not past basic maths at school?

I love your liberal use of EVERYONE Jared.. Very assuming of you..

And please.. Educate me on how representative polls have to do anything with basic math and not of sociology, psychology, or economical trends? Is it because the poll symbols use numbers and percentages- to which you only associate to math?

95% of people tends to be enough for a non literal interpretation of everyone.

So when 3 out of 4 people polled respond A over B.. 98% of those polled (EVERYONE in your case) favors A...

Good thought Jared.. Poor execution

Yes.

Because it was just a poll of 4 people. Oh wait.

 

[xWEBSx]

Yes.

ITS GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!!!!!

Again.. When your polls reach the MILLIONS an then the sales reflect those polls..Then we can discuss the success/failure of said system in this next generation.

yall arguing over this shit? lol..... I aint got time for dat?!?! nah for real... my humble opinion I dont think XBOXone got it but we will see

You are acting like I said polls are edible....

When the US presidential election is held, they "poll" voters on who they think will win.. Pre-vote balloting and polls...these polls and balloting in no way represent the overall outcome of said election.

Again.. Use your pre-release polls as some type of justification to yourself that what you are saying is right.. Again.. Come talk to me post launch when money starts coming out of pockets...

They aren't 100% accurate, but they are close to the truth. And honestly, you must be in the biggest state of denial to think that the internet is in love with this. Check 4chan, check reddit, eurogamer, IGN, gametrailers and so on. Youtube shit even, angry joe is dropping xbox for PS4...

There isn't a single place barring xbox fan forums where most people want the xbox. And you are sitting here, telling me that its going to be a console war? Nahhh.

 

[SimSim]

Small samples are usually not considered very representative, and you can be pretty sure that those 3.5k people in that poll isn't very random

Its a good thing its 23k...

Sony with 21.5k and microsoft with 1.2k

Now add up ALL your polls, add angry Joe into the equation and does that equal the amount of paid 360 subscribers? And if so.. Does it reflect the proper number of those bailing on Microsoft as a whole?

Are you literally saying that unless you have a scientific census, all polls are useless?

Must be that desperate to justify you buying a spyware box that costs more than the competition, with worse specs.

Oh right my bad. Doesn't change that it is a very small sample size still And people answering those polls and posting in forums are not a random sample. They are most likely pretty hardcore gamers. There are a lot of casual players who does not bother posting about consols and game on the net.
