they got rid of mandatory kinect

kind of dumb how you still have to pay for it though (this is literally the only thing thats stopping me from going xbone next gen, i just dont see the point of paying a lot of extra money for something that will never get used)

ps the touch pad thingy on the ps4 looks kinda gimmicky to me

European preorders will now come free with Fifa 14. However, it is still cheaper to get a PS4 + Fifa than an Xbox One

Going to be an interesting battle now. They will lower the price next step. They have realised they ****ed up at the start.

I think they've lost too much trust now to regain footing, Sony has got it in the bag.

But I may well be wrong...

Always online gonna come in eventually so brace yourself folks. lot of game these days require you to be online in order to launch properly so this is the next logical step.

As for DRm I have no idea how that will work other than its gonna cause confusion and I anticipate quite a few court cases too.

This wouldn't go down well on consoles. I can't see it happening this gen especially after the uproar that, thankfully, changed Microsoft's mind.

Yeah, it will be. Big addition for myself.

I don't know why you'd go Xbox One unless that's what your friends are getting.

Free FIFA isn't that much of a deal when you can buy a PS4 + FIFA separately for cheaper.

Yeah pretty much most my the people i know are getting the Xbone because they are used to the 360 it seems..
I could basically get the PS4,Fifa 14 and a year of PS+ for nearly the same price as the Xbone but i don't really want to be on my own..i have barely any friends on PSN as it is lol
Plus i care way more about my xbox gamercard than the PS one

As a result of this incredible consumer demand and the development progress on Xbox One, I am thrilled to share that today we are making available a limited number of additional Xbox One Day One consoles for pre-order. We have coordinated with our retail partners to make it easy for you to reserve your Xbox One today.
