Microsoft has betrayed me...

As some of you may or may not know, i was a huge lemming. But now i feel like M$ has betrayed me. They have left their original costumers to pursue the money and fame like the Wii. Kinect has ruined anything that was good about the 360. The lack of exclusive games this year and next year is proof of this. Console gaming for the hardcore in general is dieing. Sony seems to be the only one left thats actually trying to keep the hardcore games alive. But soon i can also see sony dumping that. maybe not for the PS3 but for the PS4. you can expect 100% casualized next gen consoles from all three companies.

I loved nintendo when i was a kid....but i would have never guessed that it would be them to kill console gaming for me. they have spread a virus. and they need to burn in hell for it.

anyways i sold my xbox. sure im going to miss halo reach and its going to suck not playing gears 3 next year. but one big exclusive per year is not enough to keep a system.

the only hope for console gaming is for a new company to step in next gen and take over the hardcore market. Apple...they can be the savior of this casual virus.

Who els feels this way?

You're blaming Nintendo for Microsoft's failures? :lol: What ever helps you sleep at night...

Selling a system is never a good idea. Also the 360 has some exclusives coming next year that we don't even know. Sure their focus on kinect is... frustrating, but you shouldn't feel betrayed from a major company.

Microsoft is definitely getting more greedy. Hopefully Sony will have some good competition and humble them back to reality.

There's a lesson, don't put so much faith in a company. They will always betray you for more money.To be honest, it isn't even a betrayal since all they want is money anyway.

Get a PC.

I feel ya bro

Kinect has me worried due to the reception it's received from developers and consumers alike. MS seems to be intent on using Kinect to cover casual games while largely ignoring its use in enhancing or revolutionizing established gameplay mechanics. But as for the lack of exclusives, I see it more as MS has dried up its tap and has only a few franchises remaining and needs to reinvent itself by funding new IP projects.

You do realize theres this little thing called GDC, or maybe even E3 where they will announce new games. They probably dont have any announced now because they dont feel its the best time. Try being patient, it helps

I agree, it's mostly Nintendo's fault with their endless supply of Mario, Yoshi, Princess, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Etc games... Nintendo, B.I.H.

they are all equally as greedy end of.They are companies, their main goals are to make money to keep shareholders happy sorry but thats the way the corporate/commercial world works.

It isn't Nintendos fault, that's all on Microsoft, they decided to copy the casual support that Nintendo was doing and not the core support they are putting out.

PC's....The core gamers machine that will never betray you :P.

All they want is the money, and if "casual" money is what they have their eyes on then they are out to get it. You are no longer useful to them, time for you to go.

Is GrabTheYayo a reference to Scarface? If so, great movie!!

some of you guys take this stuff way to seriously. just play the damn games and enjoy your system lol.

i mean seriously...when hasnt microsoft done this. it never announces anything early but comes on like gangbusters throughout year. it happens every year so why r you panicking all the sudden if you been here. these cows are/got into your head friend lol. besides, what's it costing you to keep the system anyway, lol? you sell the thing because YOU don't know whats coming out in the next 12 months?? you must have been one of those kids that couldnt wait until christmas morning to open their presents. a pleasant surprise means nothing to you huh. wow!

Sony only announces everything early because they're trying to build hype and catch up in sales...MS doesnt need to. this happens EVERY YEAR. and what else happens every year? the 360 ends up having a much better year than expected and the ps3 doesnt, unless you listen to the cows rhetoric. idk...maybe this is the doom of the 360 and you have the foresight to see it. but i doubt it. MS has shown too many times already that they know what they're doing and they're in it to win it.

Never said that, just implied that they are now focusing on another kind of market. Although i dont share the same feeling towards Microsoft, since i have enjoyed kinect for the most part.......please dont kill me.

Out of curiosity, do you have a PS3? Do you have a Wii?

who in the real world actually cares THAT much about exclusives? If an excellent game comes to a console - woohoo that console has an excellent game for its owners to enjoy, regardless of whether it comes to another console as well. At the end of the day, the 360 got loads of excellent games this year. And you know what? there'll be some excellent games coming to it next year, regardless of whether those games are exclusive or not. It's the same with every console.Richymisiak

exactly too many for me to buy

move is a rip-off and a manipulation....The Move bundle is around 99 dollars, second controller 49.99, navigation controller 29.99. That's a 180 dollars not included tax. But the thing is if you want to play WITH somebody in a game you have to buy all that again...360 dollars in total. Motion control games aren't meant to be played by urself. So u'll probably have to spend that 360. anyone would be better off buying a Kinect since it can scan multiple people at once for less the cost. hell, they'd be better even buying a Kinect bundle even for a little extra cash.

most of the games for move u need to buy a 2nd Move remote or nav controller for in order to play them properly to. Which ends up costing more than buying a Kinect anyway. Its pointless, a rip off, a manipulation to make people spend more on a crap device that they trapped u into spending more on.

Sony manipulates users to...the whole art to a successful business is the manipulation of the consumer. so please stop with the MS is the evil empire bullcrap.

lmao, when did i say anything about "facts"? ur posts doesn't even really make any sense anyway...what are you saying exactly? are you saying that the Xbox 360 has more games announced than Sony? whats with all these ps3 will rule 2011 threads then? cows are already admitting defeat?? or are they...wait, what are you saying exactly :? did you just wake up?

Seems really strange of you to sell your 360 just cause the future lineup is disappointing and bad. The 360 has been out for what 4 or 5 years? There have been TONS of great games that came out for it in that time. Besides why didn't you think of the multiplats? There are like 20+ amazing looking games that will be coming in 2011, just cause they aren't 360 exclusive doesn't mean you couldn't enjoy them. Yet if you didn't have many 360 games, friends, or saves then maybe you switching is the best thing to do, I mean PS3 is doing great in multiplats and exclusives, PC also. paradigm68

The 360 is worth keeping it for the Arcade titles alone!!!

Selling a system is never a good idea. Also the 360 has some exclusives coming next year that we don't even know. Sure their focus on kinect is... frustrating, but you shouldn't feel betrayed from a major company.
