@chilen:
The anti consumer policies that the they had when they first introduced the console showed me just what kind of company Microsoft is and it's not one that I want to do business with. I know that they changed their policies about used games and the always on internet connection but to me the damage was already done.
I'm with you there, agree wholeheartedly, the fact that Micro$oft do whatever they want is a huge problem, not as big as their followers screaming out "this is good" just because M$ claimed it to be though… (win7 compared to XP where I've only seen polite requests for allowing changes back to the XP way with the followers screaming about how great that specific feature is, noone from the "XP crowd" has ever asked for a feature to be removed only the option to revert back on their own PC's)
Xbone seems to be putting too much emphasise on other things besides gaming as well, like all the TV bullcrap. I don't watch TV so I don't need all that crap.I want my console to play games everything else is pretty much unused features for me.
Agree with that, I want my console for gaming as well, OK I can find it useful with a friends-list and being able to talk with them online, the main reason to have a console is however to play games.
But with all that said I don''t really use any console […] I prefer playing games on my PC and won't even think of playing a FPS on a console. […] When I play a FPS with a controller it takes me 2-3 seconds every time I aim my gun so I'm completely useless in multiplayer. Give me a keyboard and mouse though and it's a whole other story.
I'm again with you there, which is why I don't play FPS's on the console - I've thought about getting a mouse/controller combo though - and I've been playing quite a lot of FPS's online, starting with the Quake demo back in -96. (even if I don't play them online anymore there's no controller that beats the mouse for accuracy and speed)
With all this said - as I'm quite happy with my 360 - if I get a new console the choice isn't clear as I'm quite a big fan of Forza and it's Micro$oft branded so I might be forced to go with it due to loving that series and that franchise is the only reason that makes me even consider the ONE, had it not existed I'd be all over the PS4… (time will tell, I'm in no rush to get a new console)
