Xbox gets a reality check & I don't care

On 06/19/2013 at 08:43 PM by GeminiMan78

So I figure most have heard that Microsoft has finaly figured out that there current strategy with the Xbone was doomed and gave up their used games and internet policies. I did not hear anything about the mandatory kinect issue though. So on the one hand this is good for Microsoft and the most hardcore Xbox fans. But the rub is I personaly have never liked their buisness practices and I think their hardware is junk. And even if I had been a fan of their consoles up to this point, the fact that they WERE going to do this would keep me from buying one as a matter of principle. The damage is done, they have shown their true colors and there is no going back.

I know for some people this is a total game changer and they may be forgiving. For some grudgingly so, but those exclusives are just too tempting to be spiteful. Maybe years from now I will change my mind. But for now Microsoft can go *kissed a bag of butts.

I just feel they need to hurt a bit, let them twist in the wind, and get a lesson in humility. I still will probably get a 360 when they are dirt cheap,... maybe.lol

I don't blame you, but I'm patient; I can wait at least until after launch for a new one of these things.

I'm in no rush to get anything at the moment. I waited a long time to get a PS3 mostly just because I was broke ten ways from tuesday,lol. I could get PS4 day one, moneys not the issue this time. I just want to see how things will play out. For now my money is still on the PS4.

I pretty much feel the same way. Besides their operating systems I could care less about Microsoft. This is good news though and gives me hope for the future. Although WTF knows how the generation after this next one will turn out?

I have no desire to let Microsoft think that I have forgotten. They need to know that we are not so easily swayed.

I'm not too forgiving on the matter... MS were a bunch of dicks throughout this ordeal, they can shove it..

Hey, that's great news. Get rid of the crummy Kinect and I'm in.

Yeah, I think thats one they are not going to budge on, lol. They got too much R&D money tied up in that thing. Xbox fetch, Xbox go home, Xbox make me a sandwich! Actually that last one would sell me an Xbone, LOL!
