WAIT! Did they actually go with always online and anti used games! I thought that was all stupid rumours!

It's official that the Xbox is not "always online", but it does require the internet to function. That's on the Xbox One FAQ. What's unclear is how often you need to connect. A day? Every hour?

And your game is connected to the hard drive and connected to your live account. Meaning, if you sell it, someone else can't use it unless they pay extra. What's unclear is how much that fee is. Someone at MS made it. Sound like its the same cost as a NEW game.

Then there is a patent with Kinnect that allows MS to charge you extra for content depending on how many body's are in the room. That isn't even being discussed. Could have been and idea scrapped or an idea being placed in the hidden box.

But this would explain why Kinnnext needs to be connected to X1 all the time.

So what happens if you don't connect it to the internet once a day?

No one knows.

It has to check software licensing once every 24 hours, something windows also requires, since Windows Vista and the inclusion of the Software License Protection Service.  I calls back to Microsoft to check all relevant software licenses.  If it cannot do this, you cannot use any software.

 

They clarified that while the game will install on say your friends system if you take it over, they won't be able to start the software unless they purchase a license to play it, which a microsoft spokesman said would be the same as a new game. "It would be considered a new game at that point."

No one is going to mention the astounding lack of third party support for the Wii U, while the Xbox One will have more than six AAA games released within 12 months of its launch? Microsoft has companies like EA and other big name third parties backing them. Also, Gears of War and Halo are system sellers.

 

... They never said AAA games, they said exclusives. And Nintendo is getting plenty of those too, so I don't see what you're saying here.

 

Wanna see an Xbox exclusive?

 

Can't wait for Xbox One!

Apparently sales have been going up pretty significantly since yesterday.  I can't find any actual evidence, just rumors and rumblings.

I pick Wii U, because Microsoft took the Xbox 359 steps backward. *Troll face.*

So that's why it's not backwards compatible..

But it's confusing and they keep going back and forth.

[DéliopT]

Or they're just streaming in from sites like this one, due to threads like this one, to drown out the Xbox fans.  

 

If it was like that, i think MS would go into negative percentage!

So Nintendo failed too?

x1 will be the wii of this generation.

I am shocked by that, actually. My coworkers who are gamers got into a conversation about this, and said they weren't going to buy the Xbox One, even though they were big Xbox fans. However, what they said was that they would buy a PS4 instead. The Wii U never came up in the conversation, as if it isn't even there in their minds. This is how I feel many of the fans of those two consoles are, Nintendo really isn't even relevant in their eyes.

I don't see why I need to use my tv so a game can be "innovative".

Everything would work with off-tv play, except things like ZombiU.

It was a failure because it failed to answer the questions we wanted answered. It doesn't help that post reveal we still don't have those answers.

And it's never good when your reveal makes your customers consider the competition.

There are two type of Xbox Players. Actual Xbox Fans, and ex-Nintendo fans. Where these co workers big Nintendo fans who left Nintendo in favor of Xbox?

I think any ex-Nintendo fan will consider the Wii U once Nintendo shows them what they want.

As soon as you sign out, they have to buy it to continue playing, even if you leave the disc with them.

Haha, yes, it did.  I was referring to a more visible, singular announcement.

 Interesting read. I agree with their point. Everybody right now is liking Wii U and/or PS4.

Ubisoft announced six AAA titles after the conference, including Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed IV.
