Let me just stop you there, 2 points; First of all, you do not apply grammar reserved for individual words to sayings, it is a matter of opinion. Second point, try this phrase on for size.....

Grammatical pedantry is the lowest form of intellectualism

Holds hand up, got some showcase art still in there

we are half way there, still to go....

Lose the Kinect mandatory requirement. If people want to use it that is cool, but if they do not, let them leave it in the cupboard or give them the choice of buying a kinect free console.

Give gamers and devs the ability to shut down the teevee features and the bloated OS that goes with it, and turn all those assets over to gaming.

Reflect the fact that the xbox one is 50% slower than the PS4 at memory speed, which will make a huge impact on open world games like Skyrim and GTA, and make a kinect free xbox 0ne $50 cheaper than the PS4.

If you fail to follow these steps, in this tough flatlined global economy, you and Nintendo get to fight for 3rd place. Sony will take first and second by default.

@the_big_doggg you wrote that during work hours, I doubt you are paying tax dollars

@Adavanter they are beyond hope now. Remember that scene from the Day After Tomorrow, when the kid says stay indoors or you will die, and the noisy minority said no we march south its warm down there.

The publication also calls out potential "serious" security concerns for the Xbox One, involving the system's Kinect camera and/or microphone recording conversations not meant to be heard outside of the military. Microsoft has said that the Xbox One does not record idle living room chatter.

I said this exact same thing just after the xbox reveal. The hardware with its mandatory need for kinect to be plugged in and connection to the net equates to a system ripe for hacking and surveillance abuse. The chinese are well known for hacking and they will without doubt put a team onto hacking into this.

@tylerbrunson well when you get your shiny new drm box, do a system check and see how much RAM, Hard Drive space, CPU and GPU is kept aside for cable boxing and 3 OS, Here is a hint; it is lots more than on the PS4.

And then you can comfort yourself that even if this all went away, the hardware is still seriously underpowered compared to the ps4.

@racerxgundam @Double-Ego @valknight you think game prices are going to decrease?

"You cannot have game and marketing budgets this high while also having used and rental games existing," Bleszinski said. "The numbers do NOT work people."

"The visual fidelity and feature sets we expect from games now come with sky high costs. Assassin's Creed games are made by thousands of devs,"

They are going to keep all the money for game budgets,

@experience_fade you do understand, that policy changes from MS over the past month, are a result of people like us throwing anger at MS, not a reward for xbots saying day 1 purchase?

You can thank us for making your future system a better place to game, rather than insult us.

Still going over to PS4 though

@bojan_sokol @experience_fade @Banhammered1 @alastor529 I laughed at that idea too. And they change policy faster than shirts, look at the last month alone.
