Finally, I don't have to fight anymore! (:

It is as if America has woken up and realized that Microsoft practices deceipt. I fought so hard for years to try to wake up gamers to return to Playstation--who provided the best gaming during the PS1 and PS2 generations--but my methods did not work. It took Microsoft themselves to show people how disloyal a company they are.They announced the DRM and constant internet connection requirement for Xbox one at E3 two years ago. That was just the beginning.

They released a 100 dollar more expensive console than Sony with a forced Kinect pack-in that most gamers didn't want. They said that XB1 was meant to be a multi media machine first and gaming second. Two more mistakes. They focused on TV and Xbox TV programming. MS stated that there would never be an XB1 without Kinect and that it was intregal to the future of XB1. It didn't help that Don Mattrix said that those that don't like DRM can still play Xbox without it. The machine known as Xbox 360. What an insult!

More recently, they have went back on most of what they said. They unbundled Kinect, dropped the price, and now say games first. They lied and lied. Those that bought the $500 XB1 were screwed over, thinking that Kinect would be a continued future focus that would be constantly supported and improved upon. To add insult to injury, they offered no money or free games to compensate those early and faithful MS buyers of XB1 in the beginning.

More recently there was a deceptive MS commercial for Xbox one that feartured a Breaking Bad actor to promote the Xbox one's Kinect features, yet says at the end of the commercial that Xbox one starts at $399. The commercial made it seem like the new Kinectless Xbox would have the Kinect features for $399!

They went back on the DRM, constant internet requirement, because of negative customer feedback, but they also went back on their word on other things as well. They have exposed the lying company they are. I tried to tell everyone for years, but nobody would believe me! I knew when they abandoned the original Xbox too quickly and put out the very defective RROD 360's, that they were not to be trusted. Now everyone can see for themselves. My fight is over and Playstation has taken back America with NPD victories for 7 months straight.

Welcome back Playstation! The PS4 is the number one home console in the whole world right now. It looks like it will stay that way for this whole generation. MS has done about everything to take back America this year, but have failed. Even Wii U has been outselling XB1 for the last month. It seems like some sanity has returned to this nation. Thank you America for putting Playstation and Sony back at #1 again.

MY BATTLE WITH MS IS OVER!

I agree with you on some of this, Master.  Especially about that misleading Aaron Paul X1 commercial.

It does seem like Sony's slaughtering its competition like so many cows in an abbatoir...but time will tell.

Well, I think the Halo stuff might give them a temporary boost to beat PS4 in America for about a month. Then it will go back to PS4 slaughtering.

I wrote a similar post about the WiiU outselling the xbox a while ago. It was mainly due to the Mario Kart 8 launch, and excllent franchise entry that I happen to own.

I don't hate xbox. But even among xbox fans, there is this criticism of laziness when it comes to new IPs for their system, hence the exclusivity of Tom Raider. It seems that fans of the Xbox hate Xbox the most sometimes. As Nintentdo fans complain about the WiiU the most. Or so it seems, from what I gather from gaming forums. Actually, the price drop of the Xbox has made it more appealing to me, but if I had to choose, I'd go with PS4 before XBO. Maybe in 2016-17.

PS4 is the obvious choice for most variety. I am considering a Wii U myself for Zelda U, a few other exclusives like X, some original Wii games since it is backwards compatable , but mostly for virtual console.

There is also "rumors" of PS4 possibly being backwars compatible with PS1 an PS2 games, but just rumors. This is really good news if true, as Sony seems to not be able to emulate the entire PS2 library. I hope it's true.

Just watched an Xbox One/Titanfall/kinect-ish commercial with a Breaking Bad actor from June 2014, and at the end it says "Now starting at $399" "Kinect sold separately"...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm not lining up to buy one, but there are some interesting games slated up for the Xbox One. Quite frankly, I think that it's great that Microsoft backpedaled on its bad policies and have improved their product as a result. I recall another company who did something pretty similar with a certain $600 machine they released not too long ago...

At the end of the day, good competition is healthy for the market and great for consumers. I'd rather see all three neck and neck as it would mean they'd all have to work their hardest to retain their marketshare and attract new consumers.

While I have no love for Microsoft I definitely agree that it would be better for us if there was a close race here. Why try harder if you've already lapped your competitors.

PS2 basically had no competition, but still had great games. Food for thought.

Which was mostly 3rd parties. Sony stepped up their first party support last gen with the PS3 because they had real competition. Something people who bring up that argument love to ignore.

I don't like Microsoft but it goes way beyond gaming. I've been privy to their bullshit since the 80's and watched them kill or maim many a great company while foisting their own third rate crap on the world.

Why improve your own platforms when you can simply spread FUD about the competition while recruiting the feeble minded into your army of darkness.  If I didn't have to use their shit to put bread on the table and play PC games I would avoid them entirely.

That said  I still have an Xbox and a 360 because there were games I wanted to play on both of them. What they have done or tried to do with the e XB1 has just reinforced my already dim view of the company and if I do venture into this generation of hardware it will be a Wii U and/or a PS4. I will not give another penny to Microsoft.

Does that mean that no one else should? Hell no! Do I think that people who do buy an XB1 are idiots? No! Well at least not all of them. Some people who own a fridge are idiots but it's not an appliance specific affliction. :)

First, please don't use cursing on my blogs, as I am a very Christian minded person. Otherwise, you are correct about the corruptness of MS. I personally will attempt to avoid giving MS any of my money as well. They have the PC and MS Word programs, etc. that are requirements at college and other places though. However, I will give them nothing for gaming

This is why I'm loving my PC. No console wars, no having to abandon a new library for new hardware, just games for me to enjoy.

If that's your thing. But I'm a console gamer.

I still like my consoles too. That's the upside of not being biased towards one system or another, you get to enjoy everything.
