And I am leaning towards the 720. With Xbox Music and Video so intergraded into my PC w/Windows 8, and my phone will surely be able to play the video's I buy ... I don't see a reason not to buy a 720. It would be worth it even without playing games. I'll wait to see what they do. To see the price. But in the end, I will probably buy it.

 

I still love my Wii U though

I have a few reasons for not getting the 720, But i might get it when the price drops, I'll stick with the wiiu and the PS4

I'll probably go with the 720 as well.

I'm buying the next box as well. I am unaffected by these rumors.

Not going with the 720, was thinking about it until they had the nerve to say: "Deal with it" when asked about always online.

 

Then again, they made us deal with online that costs money and is barely any better than when the competitors have for free.

i am open to buying a next box definitely getting a ps4 but the xbox depends on wether they keep the subscription fees and some of the drm/online things.

Cross game chat is amazing to have, but it's not worth a yearly subscription. I had no interest in the 720 at all, as every bit of news for it was negative.

If i were to buy another console it would be X720 just because of Halo. Liked Uncharted and Resistance but not enough to spend all that Money on new games.

I've lost all hope in Microsoft, if these rumors turn out to be true I will not be getting an Xbox whatever it will be called out of principal, and Windows 8 is a piece of sh!t and yes I have tried it. I'll stick with Windows 7.

To be fair, that guy no longer works for Microsoft. (obviously unconfirmed, but probably fired) and Microsoft apologized. So Microsoft didn't say that, an employee who doesn't work there anymore said it.

Could you at least say why it is a piece of crap? Windows 8 is faster then Windows 7, it is more integrated with the cloud, has a better IE built in. Windows 8 works better with a touch screen. Has Line, which is awesome so I can text my friends from the computer. And the Netflix app is awesome.

Just personal preferance I supposed, it was deigned more with tablets in mind not PC's, I just think they should of brought out 2 options of Windows 8, one for PC's and one for tablets, I hate all of this Metro crap. And soon I'm guessing Windows and Xbox will be intergrated, I can't stand Xbox and I don't want it infesting my PC.

I buy a console for the games, not for the add ons... Thats how I see it; otherwise, I have a PC...

Aha, I didn't know he was fired, he should've expected that.

I'm expecting an update for the wii u to add cross-game chat anyway, and the PS4 will probably launch with it or get it sometime in it's lifetime.

I love how people say every bit of news for the 720 is negative, 99% of the junk that's getting thrown around the internet is all rumours and are not confirmed. Microsoft hasn't confirmed jack about it yet.

I like mt Wii U too, but Idk if I'll buy another console. A lot of it depends on income, time, and just.. well life in general.
