All Sony fans seem to be talking about is the 720. Get a life, wait for some real info, or go play your PS3. I'm all for my 720 working as a cable box. Comcast is very expensive.

Some people can't handle change, consoles need to evolve and do more than focus on games. This isn't the 90s and 00s anymore.-RocBoys9489-

tumblr_lxvczcBdm01r1bcejo2_r1_500.gif

So you Lemmos have shaded the PS3 all gen long because of Bluray (Teh Movie Station) and threw shade @ exclusives like Heavy Rain for their heavy cinematic concept....but when Microsoft announces they are making a Cablebox...."its time to EMBRACE teh change"

I can't with this dumbassery :lol:

I don't think anyone outside system wars think the PS4 is anything spectacular. It's just a PS3 with Facebook integration.

MS's focus on other entertainment ventures might be bad for gamers, but it could help them sell a f*ck tonne more hardware.

Imagine if, even with "no games". the next Xbox destroys the PS4 in sales.

Be a damn shame.

I actually have nothing against the 720 because I won't be buying it. What I find more interesting is how lems always backpedal or find excuses to justify this console after bashing on the PS3 for the same exact reasons. :lol:

It's like how the nickname for cows started because of how Sony would milk memory cards, multitaps and online adapters and then lems became the cows through the milking of Halo, XBL fees, wifi adapters, HDD, etc. :lol:

You guys can have your console with Facebook integration and I'll take a console with cable integration.

Hmm? I see a lot of interest everywhere. Dunno where you live, but maybe you should move to somewhere more interesting like everyone else who will need to if they have shitty internet for the 720.

You realize games that play like movies and having a console that PLAYS GAMES AND WORKS AS A CABLE BOX are two completely different things right? Seriously sine of you guys are complete morons. You believe every negative rumor about the 720 and dismiss any negative rumor about the PS4, like paid online. Bottom line is that these are just rumours. The more you make 720 look bad now, the better it's going to look when it's actually announced, and its going to be the opposite for the PS4.

I dont know why everyone takes all these articles and rumors and makes it sound in a way to make it meet their argument. The bottom is line is there are 76 million xboxs out there with probably 98% of them being purchased strictly for gaming. With a very small portion if at all for the media aspect of it. If you think that for one second MS is going to go a route this next generation after spending million and millions on the new Xbox only to alienate most if not all of its user base to reach out to a totally unknown market in the console world and expect that to be their vast majority of sales, you sound completely ignorant to believe any of that.

Where did you come up with the idea games are going to take a backseat to cable features? Is that some delusional outcome youve created on your own? Seriously you Sony fans have to be some of the stupidest people on the internet.

You need to try harder.

"With the sale of Mediaroom, Microsoft is dedicating all TV resources to Xbox in a continued mission to make it the premium entertainment service that delivers all the games and entertainment consumers want whether on a console, phone, PC or tablet."

MS knows they won't be able to compete with Sony with games this gen so they're going a different route. They still need to make money and I respect that, but as a gamer I'll be getting the PS4.

In my opinion the 720 seems to be going in a more innovative direction, with the 720 being the media hub for your television, while Sony is just making a PS3 with facebook integration.

"We want to partner with the industry to deliver the next wave of innovation in GAMES and CONSUMER ENTERTAINMENT." It sounds to me like you think this blog stated the 720 will not play games or something, which youd have to be a complete retard to think. Are you implying the 720 will not play games and just be a cable box?

lol now you are trying to put words into my mouth. stop it it's pathetic, you are backtracking now.  

You asked where I came up with the idea that games would take a "backseat" to cable features for 720 (I never said anything about nextbox not being able to play games) and I showed you.  Stop fumbling over yourself trying to change the subject to something diffrent now.

I try not to believe rumors. But everyday a different source, a PR guy, a well respected insider, claim those to be true. And if this is true, oh well... Wasn't planning to get a 720 anyways... :?

You need to try harder.

"With the sale of Mediaroom, Microsoft is dedicating all TV resources to Xbox in a continued mission to make it the premium entertainment service that delivers all the games and entertainment consumers want whether on a console, phone, PC or tablet."

Try harder at what?  Nothing shown there debunks what's already been shown or what I have argued.  nextbox is looking like a Trojan horse media box with a console game over coat...

the always online requirement leaked from sources about nextbox makes perfect sense now that this news about it being media box has surfaced.  I think you need to open your eyes.

Your quote was rectified within the same article. They specifically stated that their TV resources would be dedicated to the next Xbox. Not all their resources, which is what you seemed to be, attempting,to convey. After all, you directly responded to  this  portion of the post:

Where did you come up with the idea games are going to take a backseat to cable features?

Microsoft is making all the wrong moves. Hopefully they have something mindblowing at their conference because all the negativity lately will hurt them big time.

There is one very important point that lets me know that being a game console takes a backseat to being a media TV hub...but let me state it like this.

People have stated that their is no benifit for a console to require always online so the rumors of nextbox being always online would be false.  Logical right?  HOWEVER a cable box TV service absolutely needs it and if MS was making TV service their primary objective then...

If, as you believe, nextbox is a game macheine first and a cable TV box second...why didn't MS make always online thing an option instead of requirement like that the reports say?????

You were just making an argument to me that the 720 was going to be a 100% cable box with no games :lol: Unfortunately your reading comprehension failed you as the blog clearly states it will be a game console. Seems to me like Microsofts silence is causing Sony fanboys to go insane, while Microsoft fans are just sitting back waiting for real information. Well played Microsoft.

Not sure why people didn't see this coming, look at Microsofts support for PC gaming. They are just folding everything under one umbrella, like Apple have been doing. Getting owned by Apple for the last 5 years or so, has made Microsoft focus on beating Apple, so their new competition is Apple TV.

Without having access to all the information, trying to draw a sound conclusion is asinine. Regardless, i'm not drawing myself into the debate. At the end of the day, the article  specifically  states that they are utilizing 100% of their  TV resources  to the next Xbox, rather than a 100% focus upon a TV strategy from the whole of Microsoft, or rather, their Xbox Division. This was insinuated in the title, and by yourself, when you tried to post that quote as evidence.

Awesome news. Can't wait to drop my cable TV. Pachter was right , Microsoft has already won. Xbox3 could be the 1st console to sell over 200 million units.

well is these plans all sound good to you it's cool with me...

but honestly I can't take beleive xbox fans tried so hard to call PS3 a movie player just because it had a blu-ray player but are all for nextbox being a cable TV service box requiring always online as if it's the greatest thing ever...can't be serious.

I have PC for that kind of crap and I am sure PS4 will offer something like it as well...just won't be a requirement$$$

The PS3 was called a movie player, due to the PS3 exclusives being seen to play as  movies.


You clearly misconstrued the idiom.
