[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 6143680, member: 58416"] The problem there is that the Kinects is now required. If it's not plugged into the system, the system doesn't work. ...at least that is what Microsoft currently claims. To be fair, I do believe Microsoft has the better network. It's one of the main reasons why I've felt comfortable paying for XBox Live all of these years even while my friends have had Playstation Network for free. For me, all of the things Microsoft is now doing are the reasons why I left PC gaming. When I look at the business model for the XBox One, I see all of the restrictions I have with PC gaming, but none of the benefits. As for Nintendo... I cannot currently take their console seriously; at least not until they start making games I want to play. I had considered getting a Wii U for my kids, but I've been told there are some glitches which crop up when trying to use two of the special tablet-controllers at the same time. That may or may not be true, but it's something I've seen reported enough times to believe that it is at least partially true. For me, it wouldn't be a huge issue, but trying to tell two small children that only one of them gets to use the 'cool' controller leads to problems I'd prefer to not deal with as a parent. I've also been told that the Wii U still struggles with quite a few problems when it comes to interacting with Nintendo's online service. With a price drop, I may consider a Wii U as a secondary purchase; I'm just not convinced my family would actually use it. ------------------------------------- At the end of the day, I want to support Microsoft. They are the company I've been happy with. However, their performance has been rather lackluster during the reveal of their new product, and their attitude toward their customer base has been slightly antagonistic. I wouldn't have even bothered to watch the PS4 presentation if I hadn't come away from Microsoft's presentation feeling so negative. Thus far, the only benefit Microsoft has shown me is that I can watch tv and change the channel using my voice... not exactly compelling. [/QUOTE]
