Considering this might be the last home console for Nintendo, I'd say it's Sony's game to lose

You know that Sony is on the verge of bankruptcy?

Yeah, Nintendo might be in last place already. The WiiU isn't the hit like people thought it'd be.

Depends on what they mean by "always on", for me.

If it's always on like a DVR for updating and stuff, I'm fine with that.

If they mean you have to be connected online at all times just to play a game, then I'd be pissed.

Sounds like it's always online. NEOGaf forum post with more twitter posts by the Creative Director

From the Kotaku article, here's the main quote

"If there isn't a connection, no games or apps can be started," the source continued. "If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time--currently three minutes, if I remember correctly--the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started."

If all this is actually true...

Microsoft has lost a customer in me...Wont buy this POS

Sony PS4 FTW :fist:

 

[HighJump31]

The guy he was arguing with on twitter claims it was "trolling".

I have never considered switching away from Microsoft and their console.... always figured I would move on to whatever came after the 360.... now I am very unsure of that.... this stuff sounds awful.

Alienating your consumer base aint worth shutting down pirates and game sharing IMO.... I guess after RROD they think their PR is invincible.

Yep, not going to buy an internet and electricity parasite for my entertainment needs.

Report: Next Xbox reveal due May 21, costs $500, or $300 with a subscription

So there will be an event on the 21st of May to reveal the next console. It'll apparently cost $500 for the normal console, and there will be a subscription based $300 console.

This article also says it'll launch in early November.

But that "always-online" bullshit sounds like it's actually going to happen.

Regarding the console's rumoured "always-online" component, Thurrot reiterated what we knew already - that previous Microsoft design documents have mentioned the feature.

"Looking at some of the stuff I got a long time ago, it actually says 'must be internet-connected to use' in the notes," Thurrot claimed. "And that's all I have, but it does say that."

After the ps3's $499 - $599 price point fiasco, I don't see Sony or Microsoft being dumb enough to launch their system at that price.

LOL. Now when will a reliable source confirm that the console is not 'Always On'.

 

[Icculus]

If I buy a new system it's probably the PS4 unless it's confirmed the new XBox doesn't always have to be online.

 

[HighJump31]

New report says that it won't be always online, and will be 100% backwards compatible. Will also run it's own version of Windows 8.

Rumor: Xbox 720 always online "false", backwards compatible

If that report is true, count me back in for a Durango.... I own a Dodge Durango as well coincidentally

Leaning towards PS4 for me.

I only play sports games, GTA, and COD---all available on PS4

Also, I want a good baseball game for gods sakes---advantage PS4 with 'The Show'

Unless Xbox gets 'The Show' or an equally good baseball game on their lineup, im switching to Sony

 

[Ares]

So I am looking to buy a house right now, and I will be building a theater room with an HD projector and a surround sound system.... Only seems fitting to put a next gen console in there as well.... im starting to get excited about the new console generation now

New xbox will be revealed May 21 on Spike or streaming through Xbox Live
