Microsoft Most powerful console available. The Xbox is doing well on its homecourt, but on the road sales aren't dominating. |

![]() I just pre bought my Xbox One – first preorder at the store I frequent. GameStop, and I'm sure other retailers, have initial pre-order allotment restrictions that will make it very difficult to secure the console if not reserved early.
That said, who (other than me) is going to pony up $500 and is comfortable dealing with DRM and other supposed hardships said to impact gaming on the Xbox One console? Last edited by Game Rogue : June 10th, 2013 at 04:56 PM. |

I have had my name on a list at EB Games since the initial announcement. They weren't allowing actual pre-orders yet, so I'll do that next week. Oh, and Killer Instinct...Fuck yeah!

…and with that said, I just pre-ordered my PS4 at GS – store got a late okay from corp. to release PS4 reserves before it closed for the night - manager called me down to get a pre-buy in. Last edited by Game Rogue : June 10th, 2013 at 11:39 PM. |

I'm on the fence. I was interested in a lot of the exclusives they showed, and even though it won't really affect me, I don't like all the online/DRM stuff. They're treating their fans like pirates. If you ask me, as long as you have the disc in the system, you shouldn't have to ping their servers every 24 hours.
The price really isn't an issue, but when you see the competition is $100 bucks less, for what is slightly better hardware, you have to wonder.

I don't think it's the same thing. I'm pretty sure the Xbox One probably costs about 500 to manufacture. Apparently Sony was going with the $499.99 price up until yesterday. And I bet they are taking a huge hit on every console they sell for the next year or so.
Sony not bundling their camera certainly helped a little too.

Sony really isn't in a position to sell these things at a loss. They just had their first quarterly profit in five years, and that was probably only because they sold off a bunch of real estate.

I still think MS has time to pull a few switcharoo's and right the ship. Gates and Co are not going to let this ship sink that quickly...And even though I said I was starting to lean PS3...I took another look at their controller, and for fuck sakes Sony, why the hell in this day and age is your primary directional input a fucking d-pad. The analog stick is in such a stupid spot.

If Microsoft doesn't go back and possibly reevaluate some things, I can't see how Sony doesn't crush Xbone for next gen. |

The only console I ever preordered was Dreamcast. I usually wait a year or so for bugs to be worked out, game library established, and sales.
A year from now I don't see myself purchasing an Xbox. I can't get over the fact that the games will eventually stop working. I like going back to my old games, even if it is only for a quick spin. |
