Looks like Microsoft won't be having my money this gen.

Even if the next gen Xbox does not require online to play after all, how Orth handled the tweet situation with aggressive self-defense and bad analogy was very unprofessional-like. It was pretty embarrassing and left damage to the company's reputation, overall.

 

 

If the rumor is really fake, then it should have been blown off by now.

 

I really hope this third Xbox doesn't have such an let-down feature as this, but after this tweet incident, I fear it might end that way. PS4 would already have the brighter future of the two. Same goes to Wii U.

This is how big companies often test an idea. Leak it and gauge public response.

If not too bad, go for it.

If it sounds like a problem, change.

I imagine MS will change this up.

If not, I imagine they'll be in last place by default.

However, if there is anything Google has taught us with Gmail and Chrome, it's that people generally hate the idea of being spied on or dictated to, but they won't do anything meaningful about it. Let that sink in for a second...

If this situation stays as is, everyone who buys a 720 will be voting for it with their dollars.

It's kinda sad seeing all the comments from all those other forums discussing the same issue, not one person has mentioned they would get the WiiU, not one. The PS4 definitely has put itself in a good position.

Don't know what the big deal is with "always online" I mean, just this last Saturday my internet went out and the wife, kids and I played some Mario U and Mario Wii for a few hours. 

 

Why would I want to play games with those people when I could stare at my new "Nextbox" that'll do absolutely nothing

 

And yes, was being sarcastic. If those rumors are true I feel sorry for Microsoft.
