If they actually cut the price $100, then things are going to get pretty interesting around here.

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"]

Just so you guys know, they arent' reintroducing it and there isn't going to be a formal conference. Nelson confirmed on his reddit account. This was all a false rumor from a website looking for hits.

teambadboy

Yup.

Should the mods lock this thread?

Says you the delusional paid Microsoft shill who was spreading nothing but anti-Sony propoganda and misinformation about the PS4 ram in the PS4 ram thread, where you were going off of "rumors" which were DESYROYED and debunked

welcome back, voicereason. couldn't stay away?

[QUOTE="ShaineTheNerd"]I notice a lot of people saying they will buy an Xbox One once the Kinect is dropped. Seems like the PS4 is just a place holder for the better console?II_Seraphim_II
You are assuming that people only buy 1 console...

Fine. Let me rephrase: I see a lot of people saying how they will cancel they're preorder for the PS4 if Microsoft drops the Kinect. Seems like the PS4 is a place holder for the better console?

People who are saying Microsoft is copying Sony: Sony did NOTHING new. They went with the industry standard, as they did with all of they're consoles. Since the PS1, there has been little-to-no innovation. Sure they ditched memory cards, but what else? Rechargeable controllers!! They didn't set a bar, they didn't do anything new. No one is copying Sony. Console gamers are unready to move into a fully-digital age, and the PS4 was held in the 7th generation, it's less money, and is less scary (with the dumbasses declaring big brother). Sony did nothing new, therefor it's unable to be copied.

By doing nothing new, Sony did what gamers wanted.

People dont like change, MS is a bit too greedy to see that.

Microsoft knows what the future will be centered around -- digital distribution. They tried making the jump far too soon, and it scared all the little people. It will happen one day, and Microsoft will be in charge (console wise), because network infrastructure and software is their domain, especially when the competition is Sony (hardware) and Nintendo (games).

Whether you believe it or not, the future is leading right into Microsoft's hand, be it in the 8th gen or 9th gen, while Sony will still be stuck in the 7th gen. Greed has nothing to do with it. Just as Sony played it safe and made another generic platform, Microsoft attempted to move us forward. If Sony continues to lack the balls to innovate, and with not changing retaining those who are not ready for change, this industry will be more f***ed than it is now.

Yes, the future... but we live in the present, not in the future.

When the future comes i am sure Sony will present a product fit for it.

But trying to shove the "future" down consumers throats like MS did doesnt work.

digital distribution is already here, is called steam, and they did it right, what microsoft tried to do was impose an always online drm and make users give up their rights by not selling their products and just rent them, the digital thing was only a bad excuse.

By then the Xbox NEXT will be out and you'll have missed out on all the great exclusives for Xbox One. lol!! I'll have mine next year sometime. I've waited to get the PS2 (15 months) and the PS3 (11 months), so I have no problem waiting a few months to get the XBox One. I will usually buy games cheap for it before I buy the system. By the time I bought a PS2, I already had 11-12 games for it that I had paid less then $30 each.

Okay, and how does that aftect you as a console player? If you have a PC as well (probably running Windows 7), then how about all the strict console-only gamers? Steam is a HUGE success and has turned PC into the best option for gaming. That success and the reasons behind it will find its way to consoles, which is where Microsoft will be waiting.

You cockroaches have got to stop bringing up Steam in console debates. You guys compare pre-180 Xbox One and Steam almost everytime.

If it's $100 cheaper than the PS4 that is going to be a huge selling point.

Price it at 400$ and either remove the Camera or keep it, either way that would really sell people on it, and perhaps even myself.

The entire point of the X1 is the Kinect - why would they sell a console without it? It's supposed to be standard.
