Xbox One : Thread 03

Don't agree at all. The only thing this looks like is people buying into Sony's PR hook line and sinker again. If the games they showed in 2013 was catastrophic then I'd love to see more of the same as they delivered a far better lineup than Sony managed last year.

Indeed, its all about the games, and in that regard MS was far better. In the end Sony had the groundswell support due to MS's decisions, that all that people remember ... sadly

Sad it might be but to say that MS had a good E3 is a bit silly. Their policies which they were forced to abandon are all anyone was talking about at the time (nomatter how good the games were) and all anyone* remembers. No way can that be considered a good E3. Does anyone really think that Microsoft considered that to be a good E3? Being able to see through it all to the games that you want is great and definitely makes you better than the rest of us but it doesn't change the fact that last E3 was terrible for MS and one they won't want to repeat anytime soon. I'm expecting a deluge of games from them. Wii U got an 800% rise in sales due to MK8? 800% of Wii U sales isn't a lot maybe but an 800% rise in Xbox One sales would be very impressive. Do that a few times a year and you can outsell the competition (unless they do the same).

That wasn't me saying that Playstation's E3 was better than MS's. MS had a awful E3 but as you say have delivered a better games lineup than Playstation.

Even saying that XBO and PS4 have not had many great releases as E3 promised. They both have a couple of stand out titles and thats about it. I'm hoping we see games and get to play great games soon on either platform. I just think MS will put in the $$$ to make sure that happens, and if that means buying up a bunch of exclusives sequels or not I can see it happening.

After seeing sales since launch "winning" E3 has got to be important to them this year.

Been saying this for quite some time re MS and their games consoles. Barring the original xbox i felt no need to hang on to my 360 and zero interest in the Xbone as nothing stays just on that console. Everything gets bastardised onto the pc eventually so why buy one.

I don't mind about the PC as I just both as different machines and users. What I do hate the 500 odd million that MS peed over the wall with Kinect and the money it throws around for pointless Timed exclusives be that for game or extra content to the likes of COD or GTA .

That money would be father better spent on funding sequels to XBox and not just the big selling IP (Like Gears) but also on the small fan fav IP like PGR, Blue Dragon and the like . Look after the core user MS and thats where your money needs to be spent

@djtickle - woah, I didn't say MS had a better game lineup than Sony lol. I do agree that whatever games MS showed though was eclipsed by everything else they did.

I was only talking about the games ... As stated from that point of view MS had a better E3 than Sony .. In every other regard it was horrid for MS, which was partly their fault, and partly the mass hysteria that we now call 'gamers'.

[Lebowski]

stupid gamers and there hysterical over reaction when we have excellent online authentication services like Uplay and Origin i don't get the negativity to always online its a real shame Microsoft lost this feature, EA has pioneered with Sim City a rock solid always online authentication that has had no negative efect on slaes and has been plagued with no problems whatsoever.

I don't know about you but typing in emails on a pad and trying to remember passwords i haven't used of years is how i like to spend my free time when i get a new game.

Oh the irony .. Typing on an Ipad .. which REQUIRES an internet connection (to activate, and lets face it use) ...

[Brad]

An iPad wasn't mentioned. He means a gamepad surely lol!?

I read ipad .. but there you go , will quite happily be corrected ..

[Brad]

Well, one of us is wrong :-) I did originally think iPad because of the lack of capitalisation etc. but then thought about how much I hate typing in emails and codes using a game controller...

Origin on PC makes me type in my email address and password whenever there's an Origin client update. Luckily there's only an update every day.

Origin is horrible .. Uplay is horrible .. I wish they would just disappear .. but not going to happen
