somewhere there’s a kid with a grandpa who hunts, and that kid is about to buy shades and a trenchcoat at salvation army, and a greyhound ticket to Washington

Whoa Whoa Whoa, so you’re telling me that my family/friends at my house can play on my xbox and its games? Wow Xbox 1 = revolutionary!!!

#143

I think Microsoft is just advertising for Sony right now.

#146

Is this one of the fabled 15 exclusives Microsoft was talking about?

“Harnessing the overwhelming power of the most advanced gaming system ever conceived…”

Oh god this isn’t a joke please kill me now.

Well I guess that line is a joke, though I can hardly take it any more or less seriously than the game itself.

#148

That’s surely a joke. It isn’t true. It can’t be. Can it?

#149

Well that sounds…slightly less bad than it was before. Still for a second there I thought it was a joke the way it started it out with “Because every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection”. I thought for sure it was satire until I kept reading and it wasn’t funny anymore…

Microsoft is making the same mistakes Sony did back in the announcement and launch of the PS3: a mix of arrogance and excess of self-confidence caused by being in the dominant side for a few years now.

I just hope that, like Sony, all this hubris comes back to bite them in the ass and they become humbler.

Or rather go out of business

#152

Only if Sega comes back into the console business.

I think there would be a lot of trouble if Microsoft went out of business. I was just reading about the problems that might result from Microsoft stopping support for windows XP. Imagine if they had to stop supporting every version of windows.

#155

Making a move from one version of Windows to another isn’t that big of a deal, so I imagine moving away from Windows wouldn’t either. If MS went out of business, everyone would just switch to Mac or Linux, including businesses.

#156

The console division going out of business, not the whole company.

#157

They should introduce a new even smaller Xbox 360 with twice the RAM, doesn’t scratch discs when rotated and doesn’t RRoD and everyone would be happy.

#158

Support for XP HAS ended, I thought.

Edit: April next year apparently. But I think we’ll cope

#159

So, uh, how about that pricetag?

#160

this, and

yes please
