[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6144608, member: 8835"] One of the assumptions we may really be disagreeing on is the economy. I live in Houston. It's pretty easy for most of us Houstonians who had good jobs before the recession to say that we still have good jobs. Basically, what recession? Xbox and PS3 sales have done pretty darn good along the whole lifespan. I would say, that while plenty of folks are hurting, there are plenty of folks who are not. It seems you either got screwed in the recession, or you're basically doing the same status quo. As a result, there will be plenty of people to buy these top end gaming systems. And these alternative "lesser" platforms don't even really detract from the sales pool. Heck, most serious gamers own multiple modern systems. Basically, there's plenty of people with plenty of money to spend on this top end stuff, and they will. the people cutting corners on cost to buy these alternative boxes were less likely to buy the new top end stuff anyway. In any event, anybody who drinks the MS koolaid will be plenty happy with their Xbone. it will provide a pretty smooth experience whether they play games seriously, watch movies, or other stuff. Amazon has already sold out on pre-orders for it, so we know that's a lot of koolaid drunken despite all the FUD going about the Xbone. What I'd like to see is more of how the UI, messaging, voice and group-game setup experience is on the PS4. The PS3 was terrible, because Sony didn't really handle most of that stuff with a solid API and service model. The 360 nailed that and continously improved it throughout the life cycle. I haven't powered up my PS3 lately, but I doubt much has changed. Since it's a total rewrite for the PS4, it's likely they will still be behind the curve on UI/features compared to MS, which can simply recompile and adjust for the Xbone target. [/QUOTE]
