The fact that most of them will be available on several other services.
I assume by several other services you mean PS4?
Nothing would be stopping publishers from making an under the table deal to raise game prices to $70 if you can only get it from two places.Alligatorjandro

The most interesting thing will be what happens to Steam/PC pricing now that the AAA game consoles are basically specialized PCs.I assume by several other services you mean PS4?
I still think they're different audiences.

lol that dude flat out said that FIFA Ultimate Team was an X1 exclusive. Now it isn't. I don't know what Ultimate Team is, but I can't believe how badly MS manged their message on this. They have been planning for months!

Madden has an Ultimate Team albeit a much shittier version.
The idea that EA was going to sell that off entirely for exclusivity was hilariously insane. Its insane bank for them, basically its selling digital soccer cards that you can use for a sim management type of game as well as playing games with those players. Pretty smart of them to give a console exclusive UT content though - they get money from both MS and from consumers who will give them even more money for more content.

I just went through some of the reactions to Xbox One (stupid fucking name by the way).
Let me see if I understand something. Today, I have an Xbox Family account. One 360, four users. I buy a game and anyone can play it on their account. It sounds like with this abortion that MS has created that I would need to buy four copies of a game if each member of my family wants to play it.
Do I have that right?

I'd be surprised if they don't have an exception for running it on the same console.
The only thing you will miss is sports games if you do that. Handhelds are where it is at.

I hope so. if I have to buy extra copies of the same game then that's a non-starter.
No way that's right.
Thought they said that all the sub accounts would have access.
I like you. Haven't tried catching one yet. I just kill em, hearts? You gonna die son.

I've never had an Xbox and probably never will. I'll get PS4 because I'm used to Sony.
Vita is dying, it needs CFW already so I can play my old UMD games on it that aren't PSN supported.

Lets just all forget about next gen and get OUYA, it'll be a NFL GAF thing.

If they can build a reliable and efficient online license transfer system, it can be a game changer. It allows them to basically make buying online games on the PS4 worthless (multiplats), if Sony doesn't have a license resell inhttp://www.neogaf.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=58433825 place. It gives them more freedom to price and have the game on sale in them online space (similar to Steam), which combined with a license resell system is very forward thinking imo. It weakens Sony in the online retail space and steals some of Steam's thunder.
Furthermore, let's say hypothetically that it takes off and it is similar to Steam with decent discounts. Sony is bare assed simply because even if they match the price online, without a license transfer system the PS4 digital content is essentially worthless.
You could say just buy the hard copy of PS4 and you win. I don't think that model will work if MS is aggressive with pricing in the online space. Let's say you buy a game is $59.99 at release for both systems. Wait a month, and the online copy on XBL/PSN is $49.99, and the hard copy is still $59.99 at retail. Which copy would you buy? Personally, if there is a license resell in place, I would buy the cheaper digital copy even if I got a little less at trade-in.
All of this is fiction, but I think if they go this route, PS4 is in a tough spot regarding keeping up with a quickly changing market.
If Nintendo pulls off sales with the Wii U, you can bet your ass MS will.
I don't even know what games it has anymore, I just play Hot Shots Golf and use it as a browser to refresh NFL-GAF while I'm in the living room watching games.

Hot Shots is great. Did you ever play Hot Shots Tennis on PSP? Best tennis game I've ever played.

I've been working on crowning everything lately. Been about a week since I played, but the past few weeks I've put a lot of time into it. Crazy

I'm not sure what "license resell" you have in mind, but I'll caution this where multiplatform titles are concerned: it's going to be hard for Microsoft to compete on price ("sales") for those games. The publishers will have to be onboard, and to get the publishers onboard MS will have to throw money at them.
They might do it, but they'll need to compete on value. And whatever that value is (one copy bought works across WindowsLive + XBO maybe?), it can't be seen as impacting the bottom line of the "AAA" big boys.

I actually liked most of what i saw with Xbox One until everything started to leak post conference.
The 'connect every 24 hours' killed it for me. I will not be buying one unless they change that.

My PSP with CFW has like 10 games loaded on its memory stick, it can play unsupport PSX games as well.
That being said, I'll pick up a Vita along with a PS4 this year or next.
Something like that is the future. Just a matter of time brah!
We just need the open standard and then the cheap hardware will follow.
That shit will be way more appealing to the average consumer than a remote control you control with your voice.

The only reason I have my Vita is to see what it can do with PS4.
Oh yea. Saw this earlier and forgot to ask if yall saw. Packers already lost a rookie.

I'm just more and more disillusioned with current/next gen gaming as the years go on. Guess it comes with the territory of becoming a cranky old fuck. Sony kind of impressed me with their reveal in that they focused on games and the gaming side. Still, I know I won't be buying one until they offer a price drop and/or a redesign. And no way in hell am I ever touching day One MS hardware. So I'll be waiting like I did this gen, about three years in. In the meantime, I'd be giddy as hell if somebody released an old school console and said, "All this fucking thing does is play games. That's it, nothing else."
Yeah, HSG is the best. I usually have a round running in the background and I'll pick it up randomly throughout the day.
And nope, I've never played Hot Shots Tennis - I might have to check that out if it's in the store.
I think I have 3 crowns left, but I haven't tried them in a while. I've just been playing the 3 DLC courses/randomly trying for high scores.
Yeah, I had a PSP with CFW, but I traded in when I picked up my Vita because I hadn't played it in a long while. I guess I thought the Vita would get me back into gaming, but I still just play casual bullshit/sports games.
I can imitate voices really good, I can't wait to step into bros living rooms while the play madden and say "UP THE GUT" on 4th and 15 or "THROW IT DEEP" all the time. Xbox1 is gonna be awesome for Trolling.

It is, and there's a demo! Once you get used to it you won't be able to stop. It was even more addictive than HSG for me.Greg said:

Xbox one to take up your whole entertainment stand confirmed, would be kind of funny if ps4 was just as big.
he sure does, and I should get a Arressted Dev avatar in anticipation of this week.
Yeah, I'm just guessing at this point. If the publisher sets the price like they do on Steam, then we should see equal prices on both platforms. If they allow you to sell back the license, then that's the obvious platform of choice for me. Kills Gamestop to a certain degree, gives value to digital purchases, and gives the publishers/developers more chance to profit off of a 'pseudo-used' market.

Reports of Xbox One's online requirements and used-game fees are no more than "potential scenarios" and not concrete details, Microsoft told Polygon via email.
"While Phil [Harrison] discussed many potential scenarios around games on Xbox One, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail," Microsoft told Polygon.
They really need to stop Phil from saying anything else. He is causing all this confusion.

You bastards. I'd have to jump through a billion hoops to get Netflix. And I'm sure they won't be available elsewhere (legally) anytime soon.
