Who cares, by the time the product is announced and presented these major things need to be planned out already.. thats why im saying they are backpedaling NOW, the weak preorders compared to PS4 is the reason for this.. thats all im saying

"weak preorders" is a myth created by Sony stans. I keep telling y'all quit listening to rekka, he's just trolling.

Plenty of retailers have said preorders for both systems are very high. Neither will have a problem selling out this Christmas. These changes are not about preorder numbers. They are about sales in 2014 and beyond.

Also they dont take into account the sales from the Microsoft store, or people who ordered on their 360, but nikkas are going to believe what they want :yeshrug:

I think the changes are a good thing from a business standpoint. A lot of people were already on board, and now they are just eliminating other people's excuses not to buy one.

Come Christmas 2014 when the $500 TitanFall bundle hits shelves, Sony gone have a problem on their hands:wow:


Titanfall drops christmas 2014??? :wtf: is there a link to this :sadbron:

I think with the headsets, somebody realized what helped make gold better than PSN in the beginning stages was that everybody had a headset. I dont know they even thought about not having one in the box (of course I know they just wanted more money)

With taking the kinect being plugging in requirement away, I think it was more of the what happens if it breaks, or malfunctions? and also the privacy concerns. I dont think it had anything to do with preorder #s

I know people like to point to amazon numbers, but you could preorder the X1 from your 360, also I wonder how many of those numbers will actually go thru on amazon, since you dont need anymoney to preorder.


nikka at the jump people used headsets, but the last several years NO ONE TALKING on XBL games

The people complaining about always on Internet and Kinecf were never planning on buying a Xbox One to begin with.

After M$ changed their Internet policy the Kinect was the last excuse they had to use. I watched threads at neo f a g and every other post was about someone not buying it because the NSA would be watching them through their Kinect (same people who own smartphones no doubt).

Microsoft is trying to make a ghost happy. These people will never buy an Xbox One. They need to cut the shyt out.

I kind of agree with what you are saying. It was the 'one' of the biggest reasons why i would not touch the xbox. I said 'one' because at the time there was the used games, region lock, and price. They pretty much changed all of that.

To make my point. Even with all the good changes, it still left a sour taste in peoples mouth. The audacity of them to have such restrictive features really put people off (including me) The implementation of the it was frankly unnecessary. They just seemed arrogant and so naive about it. Like yea 'you going to take it bytch, all these thing you don't like and if you it does not suit you buy a 360 :bryan: dummy Don Mattrick really fukked them.

If you took a step back and think about it though they could have owned this gen, with the all digital games they were pushing. I mean that is where we are headed (digital only games) but unfortunately they fumbled so fukking hard . They had Sony beat, but man the restrictions and some of the PR really did them in.

It's not about the people who was not going to buy it in the first place. It was about the bad publicity that influences the fence sitters. Most people who buy these consoles do not know anything about what we argue about far as specs go etc. But they do listen to the news about NSA etc. So this move is to appease them.

The weak preorders are fact though. You see the numbers VG Chartz collected. And EVERY major online website had polls where the PS4 was winning over 70 percent of the votes. There's not that much conspiracy in the world.

I know I joke and :troll: on here for comedy, but that shyt is real.

And all MS has to do is look in the mirror to see who's to blame.
Even if they didn't backpedal on anything, who's bright idea was it to limit the single player experience of a game if you lost internet connectivity? The rest of the shyt they had wasn't THAT bad IMO, but that was completely unacceptable.

People have spoken, MS is reversing course, but the damage has been done. Not saying they can't recover somewhat, but any chance of beating Sony this upcoming gen is out the window. Thankfully, Nintendo is in such a fukked up spot that MS should have no problem securing 2nd place.

You'll probably disagree with that I just wrote and I don't care, but it's the truth. No way in hell is MS beating Sony this gen worldwide and they lost North America too with their fukkery.

Carry on though.

See (some) of yall on the PS4 in October... :salute:
