List of controversial alleged restrictions of the Xbox One:

-Mandatory Installation.
-Must register games online before you can use them. Once registered, you can go offline (think old PC games).
-No backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games.

I'm not really too fussed on this one, the PS3 had the same issue to until everyone realised that it didn't matter. As an alternate third option, you could have the pre-owned thing; about paying full price for pre-owned games.

I'm personally not bothered by it myself, but I can understand people's disdain towards the fact. I'm sure a lot of people would of liked to sell their Xbox 360's to get the Xbox One (especially since there will likely be trade-in deals at many retailers). Then they could play their collection of Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One, while saving a bit of money on the new console. That plan is ruined though if there is no backwards compatability.

Admittedly though, I am just not that impressed with the Xbox One, and I myself won't buy it (my brother probably will though, as he is a bit of an Xbox fanboy). So whether or not it has backwards compatability is irrelevant to me.
Though I was a little bothered when I heard the PS4 might lack full backwards compatibility, as it means I would be better off not selling my PS3 when I decide to get the PS4. It won't change whether or not I actually buy it, it'll just delay my purchase of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Are you ****ing serious Microsoft? So basically it's main selling point is you get to watch more TV and movies... WHICH YOU CAN JUST FINE WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONSOLE ANYWAY! Well, looks like I'm getting a PS4 for Christmas...

That's pretty much how I feel, it seems like something you'd buy and think all the nifty entertainment features are cool for a few days and then never use those again.

Another thing about it is that the Xbox 360 has a lot of the Xbox One's features, just to a lesser extent. I kind of feel like this is more like the Xbox 360's equivalent to a DSi. Even though it's supposed to be the real next generation of Xbox.

I'm not bothered by the lack of backwards compatibility. A friend of mine who is very tech-savvy explained that the X-One and PS4 are built using components and processors more advanced than the 360 and PS3. The new equipment therefore isn't compatible with current gen games, since they were designed for the old equipment. It's also why the Wii can play GCN games, the WiiU can play Wii games, the PS2 can play PSX games, and early PS3 models can play PS2 games. These machines were all made using equipment found in their predecessors, allowing them to read the older discs. <.<;

The victims are the loyal fans of Xbox (not counting the brogamers who play CoD, Madden, etc.) who love Xbox Live and the games provided at the time (most notably Lost Odyssey and a bunch of Tecmo games).

I hope they'll find better joy if they ever get a PS4. I would be pissed at Sony if they say PS4 has DRM and would probably buy another Sony console beyond the PS3.

It will be cool
The console will run used games?

No. The game will have a lock for the games used. They will run on Xbox One only if the player pays an extra fee. The value has not been confirmed, but according to an interview of Phil Harrison, vice president of Microsoft, the rate may be equivalent to new game

That's what I'm assuming will happen. But for the next few weeks, Microsoft is the "cool thing to hate" on the Internet right now. <.>

yup....

the xbox one is one word. HORRIBLE!!!!! I mean if they were going to name it xbox one why didn't they do it when they made the first one. and honestly, what type of console dos not support used games unless you pay a fee. don't they know that so many people borrow games.(including myself) this is the worst idea ever that I will say something to get out my anger.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supposedly this is going to officially be how the Xbone handles used games. Just adding more fuel to the Internet's flames of hatred. <.>

Well maybe they do that because they thought ps4 would have the same

Apparently, after the Xbox Ones reveal, Wii U sales soared by 800%. Nice achievement. And for PS4 supporters, interest spiked upwards.

This comment just made my day.

I seriously don't want this, there is virtually no upside to getting it.

As much as I don't like Microsoft, I will wait for their official statement before talking them down about that. But the fact that they never deny these rumours as soon as they surface bugs me a lot, and makes me think they'll turn out to be true.

This is pretty much how internet is feeling right now

it block used games and you always need online for the games to work.... a big let down just there.. so i gonna get ps4 instead..

This is Nintendo and Sony right now:

Wii U, swaggin' it up.

eww
will be getting ouya over this

I'm glad that I'm not the only One who isn't interested, or planning on purchasing this system.

I actually really like the Wii U and I don't mind waiting for Nintendo to release new games for it. I trust Nintendo's products and decisions because I know that they won't release a game or system until they're satisfied with it. I can't wait for Pikmin 3 and the future Zelda games =).

I currently don't see anything that makes the Xbox One greatly stand out from the other consoles; I'll just stick with my great gaming PC and Wii U for new games.

ouya is great

android makes my life go round

^ I have the first Android Razor, but it's pretty buggy and none of the newer apps seem to support it. I'm thinking of upgrading to a newer Razor or a tablet. What Android do you have?

Supposedly WiiU sells went up by 800% in the UK when the Xbone was revealed. <.>

Please upgrade, the OS is constantly improving.

Geez, I have lots of Android... My older phones were the Nexus One, Droid Eris, and my current is the HTC Droid DNA. I had a rooted Kindle Fire (1st generation) running CM10.1 and I am typing this with my rooted Nexus 7 running PAC-man 22.0.0. Also, I have an HDMI Android mini PC, a proprietary ICS 4.0.3 mini tablet (4.3-inch screen), and an iPod touch I hated so I flashed Froyo to it.

Also, I had a Nook 1st generation running Cupcake, does that count? :I

^ Wow, you have quite a nice collection going there. What's your favorite, if you don't mind me asking?

^ I'm guessing that percentage is exaggerated or a joke, but I kind of wouldn't be surprised if it was true. The Wii U does have a lot of potential and I'm sure that once Nintendo gets caught up with everything, that we'll see some nice improvements and add-ons to the system. I'm also quite pleased with my 3DS, despite unluckily ending up with faulty ones, twice.

Well, yes that is true - but sales of the Wii U were really poor here. 800% is relative to the previous week. For example, if the previous week amazon (it was amazon who reported this) had sold 10 Wii U's then an 800% increase would be 80 Wii U's. Not that many when you think about it

It's a joke rampaging around the internet. Xbox + One = Xbone. Alternatively, you can call it the XO, so it's hugs and kisses. <.>

Oof, that's tough... I didn't like Eris because of Sense UI and my no name MID tablet basically bricked out of the box. Kindle Fire and Nook don't count to me as full fledged Android, and the mini PC is rarely used.

Uhh... Well, Nexus One for nostalgia because it was the first thing I ever rooted and it was my first phone. But there's Nexus 7 with a large screen and a quad-core. Then we have the ever-so-fluid DNA. .____. Y'know what? Nexus 7. It's fast, the display is high-res, battery life is exceptional, and the device has a great feel to it.

^ Thanks a lot =). I'll probably upgrade to a Nexus 7, then. I have also been looking into the newer Droid Razors and the DNA.

Unfortunately, I'm thinking that other game companies are going to eventually follow this concept of account-based systems that block used games and require constant online access. It's going to happen sooner than later and it will put companies like GameStop out of business if they can't sell games in any way.

To begin with, GameStop currently doesn't seem to be doing well and three of them have went out of business within a year, in my area. If a large change, like this, is applied to most or all new consoles, which makes the majority of gamers buy their games new, then far fewer people will/can purchase used games. The buying and selling of used games makes up a large chunk of GameStop's income, and it's pretty much their main income.

IsisStormDragon told me that Microsoft apparently said they would kill Sony when E3 comes... What do the rest of you guys think?

No problem, mate! The Nexus 7 is a splendid piece of hardware and for a low price! And from the Droid RAZR series, get the RAZR M if you can.
