Also noticed games have becoming more easy. Have you seen these Facebook apps that people are into? A few of my girlfriends have been into these because they are so easy. I have asked a few what is so good, and they all replied "They are addictive". I haev never took a liking to iphone/facebook apps. They have no challange what so ever. They have too bad graphics, I don't like cartoon games, you know what I'm talking about.

I want my Sega mega drive back, why did I even sell it.

You're obviously too young to have ever played Atari... 

Atarwhat? O.o

Little young for that, I have played it. My brother has it.

I guess they'll have to rename it to the XBox 180.

I guess xbox finally realized how much money they would've lost keeping the DRM in place. Even with this news i'll still most likely get a PS4 instead.

I'm curious why? Not trying to knock you just want the honest truth. IMO now the only thing that the PS4 still has over Xbox is it's $100 cheaper. Other than that what else is better?

Faster memory

[Lethn]

I hate to break it to you guys but modern day consoles now tend to just be plastic boxes with pre-configured PC components stuck in them and a controller attached, as far as I know they don't do anything particularly different from PCs ( In fact you could argue they're worse ) and they're just used as a good way of letting publishers have a monopoly over whatever goes on inside. This is also the reasoning behind why I hate PC forms of DRM because we already had that shit, it's just being used in a way to steal away control from the end user.

The only way I could see games consoles getting back into the market again is if they made them open source and easy to configure like a PC but then that would be just a PC with a different name on it really.

Exactly, you might as well get a PC with a controller....


The Xbox & Ps4 will still lose money this year. Xbox has made a great move with trade in games & no internet required. But, Ps4 was already doing that. So they have only matched Ps4. I believe Sony have something up they're sleeve.

But, no matter what happens I'll be sticking with my PC thank you!

Well overall I'm just tired of Microsoft and this DRM issue was the last straw. I've never owned a Playstation before (always had an Xbox) so I think now's a good time to try one.

Faster memory

PS4 may have faster RAM, but Xbox has better memory cache. Look at the PS3. It had faster RAM than the 360 yet it could barely handle Skyrim. Skyrim worked fine on the 360 because RAM is not the only important feature.

how is it sony's turn?
xbox just caught UP to sony, they have to make another move to make things right
also, more expensive, mandatory kinect.

and I don't even use consoles and i can tell sony is still in the better position.

I've owned Skyrim and other various performance hogging games. And they worked perfect. In fact, I only ever experienced a few second freezes. But, that's mainly the developers. They are pretty well known for buggy games.
I have also owned Skyrim on Xbox. It was pretty much the same. I experienced freezing and one or two crashes.

Xbox uses more memory in the background. If you have looked into debugging etc. You'll see that the Xbox is doing various other stuff whilst running the game. Whilst the Ps3 does the same. it's a lot less than the Xbox.

Whoa now... that was unexpected and honestly I think it changes my entire view of the One. To me, a company paying attention to its customers is one of the most admirable things one can do. To read this and see that Microsoft completely did a 180 from something they were so adamant about (or two things, if you consider the requirement to be online to play SP games) is major to me.

Maybe that was their plan. But, Sony was already doing this. Xbox had to do it, otherwise they would have lost the battle. They didn't listen to customers. They listened to their advisor's that they were making a big mistake.

It wouldn't have mattered one way or the other. Xbox fans will always buy the next Xbox, regardless as to what kind of ridiculousness is implemented. Much like why PC gamers use Windows. Because we like to? No. Because our choices are either 1) use Windows or 2) not be able to play most of our games.

You are right we gamers use windows for playing games because there are no other options which we like. Don't get me wrong there are options but they aren't quick enough or reliable enough for me. Windows is a top class operating system. Even though I believe Linux is better, Linux is not meant for gaming.
Just like the Xbox isn't made solely made for gaming. It's got all this multimedia. That's why a lot of people are pissed.
They want a console which just does what they want it to do, GAME. I don't want to watch Netflix or listen to music which I have to pay for. I can do that on my Smart TV which I plug in my Xbox.
But, back to the point. You said PC users use windows because we have no other choice. Well, Xbox fans HAVE a CHOICE. Sony is their competitors. They both do the same thing. Except Xbox has all added crap.

There is good news for PC users who use Linux. There is going to be further development in some games for Linux. So hopefully some big titles will be able to work.
Also, there is going to be a emulator which I have been keeping my eyes on. It looks promising and has been in development for quite a while now.
But, I don't see Linux as a gaming operating system. I normally use it for programming, networking & database work.
