Recently Microsoft unveiled the XBOX ONE, to compete with Sony's PS4 and Nintendo's Wii U.

 

What do you guys think? Hyped for any one of these devices? Who will win....THE NEXT GENERATION OF GAMING?

I refuse to support any device that's saying they will not be in any way backwards compatible. I understand that it's a lot of work but I've invested over a thousand dollars collectively on all of my Xbox 360 games and I do not feel I should have to rebuild my entire collection just because Microsoft doesn't want to take the time to make everything backwards compatible.

The fact that literally the ENTIRE UNVEILING of the XBOX ONE can be summed Up in: tv! tv! tv! ESPN! tv! tv! tv! HALO....the TV SHOW! Kinect! Kinect! Cloud! tv! and CALL OF DUTY: DOG does not bode well for me at all....

PS4 wins this one. XBOX isn't even for gaming anymore, it's just an added thing.

Yeah instead of being a gaming console the Xbox: One is an "Entertainment Console."

 

-_-

 

The extremity of disappointment I felt after finding out about this drawback still makes my stomach turn.

I'm still a Nintendo fanboy.

PS4 is way too costly for me to afford on a college student's budget.

 

I was leaning towards splurging for the Xbox One but...the lack of backwards compatibility is repulsive.
I'm not paying a fee to play games I already purchased.

Why is backwards compatiblility a big deal if you already own an Xbox 360? You don't have to 'rebuild' your collection, you just can't play those games on the new console...? I'm genuinely confused.

 

The potential for DRM on the new Xbox is troublesome. No used games? If Sony follows suit, then everyone loses.

Alot of people think that M$ will use the kinect built in on the XBoxOne as a sort of surveillance device ala 1984, and THAT is SCARY. 

 

PUNY HUMAN, IT APPEARS THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO PLAY HALO 5, PLEASE HOLD UP BAG OF DORITOS TO PROCEED

1984 by George Orwell basically describes a world where everyone is under constant watch and privacy and free thought basically don't exist. Terms such as "Big Brother is watching" come from this book

I'd have to either give my Xbox to gamestop (I have a membership there so the extra credit makes it worth it) or sell it.
2broke 4 games.

 

I'm hoping the WiiU does something to appeal to more mature gamers.

Being retro, huh? With all the many pixel-esque games coming out, retro seems to be the new "new"

Yeah the whole mature vs immature gamer argument is not relevant since we're all still gamers that it affects.

>Trying to get your console to appeal to "mature gamers"

And now I fully understand why Nintendo doesn't do that shit and just release fun games for fun people hahah :V (like ok I understand there's a bunch of shovelware but its easy enough just ignoring it)

I definitely wouldn't want the GRAPHICS!!!! ADULT GAMES FOR ADULT GAMERS Guns Blood Swearing look how hard we're trying to be cool rOOTY TOOTY POINT N SHOOTY ULTIMATELY THE SAME GAME 50 TIMES WITH DIFFERENT TITLES-loving audience who typically have the mentality of like 12 year olds (most of the time because they actually are 12) flocking to my console alright

 

 

Or any gamers.

 

It's getting games soon though~

Well it does have Pikmin 3 and the next super smash bros in the pipeline, also Nintendo's gonna do a bunch of announcements for E3. But right now, it is just a glossy looking doorstop

I would have thought it would be a better idea to have games lined up for when the console is actually released, getting publicity and doesn't have any next-gen competitors announced rather than several months down the line. :/

Yeah it was a bit stupid of them to release it so early  :unsure: Like if they released the Wii U sometime between now and Christmas and had Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2 and the new Super Smash Bros. as launch titles/released sometime near that (and the Wind Waker HD remake and SMT x Fire Emblem a bit later down the road) I'm preeeetty sure they would have done a lot better :p It would have been so much fun watching them sweep the floor and completely demolish Sony and MS at this E3 if they did that hehehe~

 

Holy crap I'm looking through this list and wow look at all that junk! Hahaha I feel so sorry for it ;_;
