[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6144116, member: 8835"] As an exageration, everybody with an internet connection and an xbox has a Gold subscription. That exageration is really the crux of the whole matter. Everybody with a Gold sub (probably a majority of 360 owners) is inherently on the internet and is using it for all this good non-gaming stuff. The ability to play good games is expected and implied. Therefore, it is a non-interesting feature. What else can it do for me is the real question. This is where the PS3 failed. Its interfaces were clunkier and behind the times for the non-gaming part of the show. MS thinks the online-crowd drives the market and so they have catered to that. I would hope that they used their actual sales figures and actual stats for 360's online (every xbox has a unique id, and every online xbox signs in, so they get that info for free). If the majority of 360's sold are used online, then it's a no brainer that this is where to focus on. As usual, we'll see. Given that the PS3's setbacks for sales in the first half of its life had been overcome such that now they apparently beat 360 for Netflix hits, it will all probably be a wash. Xbone will stumble for a bit, PS4 will get more early sales, and then Xbone will catch up. Technically, one will be ahead of the other, but both will make butt loads of cash. What I doubt will ever happen is for the Nintendo to regain its place as a serious gaming machine. Their line of titles has long been polluted with crap, and their boxes have failed to keep up technologically with everybody else. Something dramatic will have to happen, and the Wii U was their most recent shot that missed. [/QUOTE]
