Well, I'll guess I'll still be sticking to PC then.

That seems to be the only post my Facebook friends seem to be reciting...

I think my tune would change if there were exclusive games out on consoles that I'd want to play. For example, Metal Gear Rising Revengence is coming to PC.

While I own an Xbox 360, I hardly play it. My son does though, so there's that.

With Ubisoft being smart and pandering to gamers across all consoles and PCs, I'll be good for a while, with Assassin's Creed and Watch_Dogs.

Oh, while not mentioned during the conference, IGN is reporting that the XboxOne definitely is not "always-online."

When it comes down to it, I buy it for games though. But enough people will use the other features that it's worth it. And it broadens the appeal a whole lot.

And I totally understand that, however I'm like you and I buy it for games, hence why I said I'm looking forward to E3.

As a gamer I just find it slightly annoying that my console has to do everything now because it's all about earning as much money as possible and appealing to as many as possible. Without ranting, a lot of things about modern gaming industry annoys me =p

As has become my standard trend I'll upgrade to this bad boy when it comes out. It's the only console that holds any type of interest for me anymore. Nintendo and Sony just don't do it for me anymore. I like the name and the overall design to be honest. No hate coming from me on this.

i don't like that the box does everything thoguh. I just need it to play games and netflix but oh well, can't have it exactly like I want I guess.

Apparently you have to pay a fee on this new console if you want your pre-owned games to work on it.

Agreed, completely stupid and purely greedy.

I get how it effects developers and everything but come on, it's a joke. It never killed anybody back in the day so why is it such a problem now?
