Iknowright?
The PC market is ever present and will not be going anywhere for a long, long time. PC's are constantly evolving, and already have available hardware well beyond what the PS4 and XB1 are using. the console advantage is is convenience, ease of operation, and they are focus-built and identical, so software can be coded to be more and more efficient and impressive as time passes. As far as gamers are concerned, the PC will always hold the bleeding edge of consumer tech, and will always have the edge on hardware capability and hardware/software customizability. The downside is that it's more expensive, have a steeper learning curve, and there's more maintenance. |

You should let us re-vote because i'm sure since the Xbox policies have changed many people could possibly switch back to Xbox and the poll would look different.

I believe as an old gamer like yourself, the OUYA console is going to be a BIG hit.

I saw that MS had verbally backtracked on some of their more draconian plans for the XBOX one, but have they officially changed the policies yet?

I was actually HARDCORE Sony fanboy for most of my gaming life. From 1995 and the original Playstation all the way through the end of PS2's lifespan. It wasn't until the 360 that I discovered what a comfortable and amazing controller could feel like, and what a robust and lively online network could function like. Then when PS3 came out at $600 with no reputable launch titles, a rehash of the same old controller (that didn't even have rumble), and a wonky, unreliable, sparse online structure that for six years had no cross game chat, and for two years had absolutely no achievement/trophy system. Sony was hit hard, especially in the US where the 360 handily outsold it about 2:1. They worked hard and built up features, released stellar AAA titles, added a lot of things people wanted, and are riding a wave of popularity that they spent the past 3 or 4 years earning. Microsoft, sitting comfortably on it's huge North American market share (and breaking even 50:50 world-wide) decided to take a leap into the future of media distribution. A system that has existed for movies and music for about a decade now. But the industry wasn't ready for it. People still think that having a disc means you own the content on it. You don't. If you read the fine print, you're still just buying the rights to use it and are strictly limited from doing certain things with it (copying it and selling it, for example). To make a system like that work, you would need some kind of network connection; there's really no way around it. This is 2013, and if you don't have either a cell phone or an internet connection, then a $500 console is probably the least of your worries. Long story short is exactly what I said: The propose a whole bunch of cool new features that require things people complained about. They removed those requirements (thus removing many of the features) and people still complained anyway. If after all that you somehow feel MS doesn't care about its customers (as in cares about them enough to change the essence that the console was BASED AROUND to meet the desires of rabid internet fanboys) then odds are nothing would sway your mind and you would have never bought one anyway. Lucky for me, my roommate is getting a PS4 and I am getting the X1.

And bluray is exactly the reason I bought my PS3. When other players were equal or more money, I said sod-off. But a few years later, they had some good bundle deals and price drops, I picked one up primarily as a bluray player. It's still currently the only bluray player in my house and I use it primarily for movies.
