Not watching GameSpot's shitty video channels unless it's Feedbackula. I've been fooled one too many times.BlabadonIt's Danny so you're safe, even if you don't agree it's mildly amusing and makes a good point.
He does have a point though, everything MS has done is to try and get back in the hardcore gamer's good books. The inclusion of the headset, no longer needing Kinect to be on to use the system. Its like MS is listening and then cutting everything that people hated.Meh, it was just the usual speculation in a pro-Sony way. Not outright wrong, but definitely not set in stone.

PS4 is hardcore. X1 is hardcore, casual and tech geeks. This thing is from asia.gamespot and being told by another European Brit. lol!! They hate everything M$, so who cares what they have to say? I'll watch it anyways for laughs and giggles.

The fact that we're spinning this into a negative, is f*cking idiotic.

All this back tracking isn't making the console look any better. Hell I don't even know what I'll be getting on release day if I haven't pulled my pre-order. Like the vid mentioned, the "softcore" market follow the hardcore lot, currently the hardcore market has pretty much chewed the X1 up and spat it out.Meh, it was just the usual speculation in a pro-Sony way.

you mad ? :lol:One of the things this fool missed out on is that M$ did not fail with acquire casual gamers. The Kinect was a huge success on the XBox 360 and it pulled in a lot of the Wii casual gamers who weren't getting any love from Nintendo with the Wii. Sony completely failed with the MOVE and they won't even talk about the hardware at the E3 or Gamescom. Let me know if you see any MOVE games at this years Gamescom. The Wii U isn't doing much to keep those casual gamers buying their systems either. With the X1 it has hardcore, softcore and casual gamers covered. People keep forgetting that hardcore gamers only make up about 15% of console gamers.http://asia.gamespot.com/shows/the-point/?event=why-the-xbox-is-losing-20130814&tag=Topslot;Slot2

He's also completely wrong about early adopters BS. The XBox 360 was the early adopter this current generation and the Wii U blew it and the PS3 away even though it was the LAST CONSOLE to launch a year later. lol!! The early adopter decides who buys what is total BS. Even the PS3 gained some ground on the XBox 360 sales, but still finished dead last. Early adopted hardcore gamers means absolutely nothing. It's all about the games and what people want to play.
So yeah, the guy has an opinion, but that's all it is. He's not 100% right on anything he says.

Listening to fans or listening to their shareholders. Either way, they are changing so much stuff on the X1. Drop Kinect, drop $100 and release it in more regions then MS will be laughing all the way to the bank. Those "softcore" gamers are still on the Xbox brand, MS just needs to keep them.[QUOTE="super600"][QUOTE="legalize82"] the spin and still ney listend to the hardcore gamers right? lol those 180s bbut hardoce gamers is only15% of the marketclyde46

Lems these days lol. Last official numbers for Kinect was 20m, 15m for move. Remind me again how Kinect was an amazing success and how Move was a complete failure?? Keep pretending 360 is ahead in sales if it helps you sleep at night. Deep down,you know the truth.

You forgot that Sony doesnt release "sales" figures. The like to use "shipped" which mean there are 12 million MOVE units sitting in a storage facilty in Tailand right now. Use your head. The Kinect is talked about good or bad because it is popular. The MOVE? That thing can go days without mention even on system wars.

MS shoved it down our throats since 2010. Sony barely pushed Move and was just as successful. Do you Lems even think before posting.... :?
