So far, what we've heard about the X1 is shocking.  But there is still time for MS to change their stance on their policies and issue an apology for their disgraceful attitude. If that happens I'll throw my money at them, I've grown up with both consoles and really love the exclusives and aren't quite ready to give up on them. And in regards to the Kinect, I'll just face it at my wall or put a bit of tape over it, it only needs my voice to turn it on/off right? RIGHT?!

So yeah. Kinda on the fence at the moment. PS4 looks and sounds great, the exclusives just don't do anything for me. However if MS don't remedy this mess, it'll be time to say goodbye.

What are your thoughts on this whole situation?

Too little too late for a lot of people. Even if they change everything, there is no guarantee they wouldn't implement it in a couple years when they have sold a heap of consoles.

It's looking more like I won't be buying the X1 this generation. Too many restrictions. Ive been gaming since the NES days and the X1 just seems like a cheap PC to me and not a console. There shouldnt be an online requirement on a console and believe it or not, used games have been a major boost for the industry. Many people rely on used games because the initial cost for a new game is too high for most. As much as I love halo, the more I read about the X1, the more I hate it. The curse of the 3rd console will continue. I already pre ordered a ps4 and will likely get a WiiU as my second console.

I was waiting to chose with a fresh mind this gen, being a Playstation gamer all my life, but it didn't even begin to sway me with the announcements, which was dissapointing.

As far as exclusives go so far, we have not seen what killer games naughty dog or santa monica are gonna bring to the table, and bear in mind they have made the highest made exclusives to date with games like the last of us, uncharted 2, god of war etc

Naughty Dog is one of the biggest reasons I want to move back to Sony. I don't much care about the new DS4, and I don't like many of the exclusives, but Naughty Dog is one of the most consistent studios out there in ratings, I think. MS needs to drop the DRM, apology, and find their Naughty Dog ASAP.

Ignoring all of the horrible things the Xbox One console does and that it is region locked. The PS4 still has a cheaper online plan that gives you more, is $100 cheaper, and they are supporting indie devs pretty much guaranteeing that whatever happens with the big developers and their exclusive games to each platform the PS4 will get better exclusives. There's really nothing MS should be able to do at this point.

You are correct and nobody in their right mind should!! Both systems are neck& neck as far as the hardware is concerned(and X1 has a slightly better game line-up), it's just the general approach towards consumers is what got MS in deep water.

Even if Microsoft apologized and pinkie-swore to allow used game sales, to allow you to OWN your games instead of "license" them, even if they were to roll-back their eula on their XBA titles so that you own them and can re-download them to your account even if your old xbox hard-drive dies.... even if they did all that stuff and dropped the online-only requirement, I wouldn't trust them. They have tipped their hand. They want to XBone consumers and if they get enough of their systems in people's houses, they will twist until they get their way and the game industry will crash.
