There's a reason why Xbox controller look like PS'. Enough said.

@inscript

If so then MS neither.

@inscript

And Sony created a game console before MS did.

@inscript

So? We are talking about who's first. Why limit yourself to features, let's talk about the market itself.

@inscript

Sony made a game console before MS did. I guess MS should have done "their own thing and be their self", like make smartphones... oh wait...

Just shows that the Xbox 360's was pretty crappy.

@N9jagam3r

Well, the concern was never whether the console is always connected or not, it is whether it is REQUIRED to be always connected to work (e.g. mainly play games).

@KoRniTo

But some knuckleheads complain that this means it's "always on" .

@Diablo-B

If it's not implemented in a balanced way, it will become an unfair race where dudes who can afford (or are crazy enough) to spend real money will have a significant advantage. Then, it will obviously not be fun anymore.

Or worse, selling a machine so badly designed that there's a dedicated Wiki documenting the flawed console's technical problems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems
