I have a feeling MS will need to change their approach this time, or they will find themselves competing with the Wii U for biggest next gen flop. I hope that doesn't happen...
And what are you talking about with the PSP? The PSP has nothing to do with any discussion here.
Of course you have a problem with the "maturity" of the commercial. Probably because it's true. I'm willing to bet if the roles were reversed and MS was posting something like that, you'd be quoting it, tweeting it, and posting it on FB. Whomp, whomp.

I guess you don't play online with your friends much. It would be quite nice to not have to buy an extra disc copy for each person in my house for when we want to play co-op or head to head. There still seems to be a huge misunderstanding as to what you're actually getting with XBO in terms of sharing, so I'll state it plainly: I only have to buy one copy of the game that I can share and play with up to 10 others at the same time without having to buy any more copies.
The PSP is an excellent example of a company complete willing to abandon a physical game distribution format in favor of digital. In that process, all the physical games you already own will not be transferred digitally and will have to be purchased again if you want to play them on the newer system. This concept of digital distribution is not new in any way. MS chose to go with a bigger, all-encompassing access plan which had some consequences that people are blowing wildly out of proportion. Sony took a different route which also has consequences, but I guess people aren't as upset at having to buy the same game over and over. Heck Nintendo has made their career off that concept.
Haters gonna hate.
