After the Sony conference, I feel sorry for 343i.
They are trapped in a burning building at this point. A burning building with lava underneath and flying, fire resistant alligators roaming throughout.
Halo is and always will be my Favorite series of all time. But if it is only on Xbox one and not on the 360? After what Sony just put Microsoft through? GG no RE.
Why does everyone think that Sony is dominating Microsoft? Why are people so aggressive for Sony and passive for -Yoink!-? I’m buying an Xbox One and I know many of my friends are going to buy it. I hope the PS4’s catch on fire at launch to shut everyone up. It’s getting annoying at this point. Even Sony themselves are a bunch of immature peeps with the way the bashed MS the whole conference. Talk about what your system can do not what’s bad about the other system.

HA
That’s so over dramatic and so quick to jump ship. Go if you must but competition is a good thing. Microsoft and the Xbox ONE are not finished, not dead, not doomed, and it’s not over.
Both consoles with thrive and gamers will have a lot of fun playing a lot of great games.
What you posted could have been said about the PS3 at launch, but it was still a good system with a lot of great games on it. Sony didn’t die and the PS3 didn’t fail.
Neither will happen with Microsoft and the Xbox One. So go if you must, to convince yourself of the choice you’ve made.

If you really are buying an xbox one, have fun always having to be signed in to play (if you play offline without connecting for 24 hours you can’t play the games you paid for), and have fun having an AI continue to play your game online while you aren’t actually playing. Don’t forget about how the X-One is always on and aware with a microphone (microsoft was just one of the companies to be signed with the NSA to gain access to all of an individuals information through their web accounts). Also, $500 system, more gold membership costs, and overpriced on demand games. No thanks to that garbage. the new halo reveal was also not that interesting to me. I don’t get why modern sci fi series all seem to be doing ridiculous and childish anime styled games (the whole cloak thing). Sony is doing things way better.
Wasn’t impressed with Sony’s conference.
I liked a lot of MS games actually and the things that everyone is mad about don’t bother me.
hyperbole

Point to point:
Debunked, you don’t have to play online. The 24hour thing is still weird though.
Optional feature for Forza 5
Kinect can be turned off to allow only a response to the phrase “xbox on”
$500 for what to me looks like more content.
Chief is masking his appearance; he’s in hiding.
I have been a Xbox/Halo fan since the beginning. But Microsoft better be glad that they have 343i and Halo. Because that is the only reason I will probably eventually buy a XOne (When the next Halo comes out).
Seriously; online check-in required, no used games, no renting, hassle in lending games, weaker technologically speaking, and it costs more? I’m a Xbox fan since day one, but I can’t support a system that puts restrictions on something I bought and payed for.
The only reason I would get an XOne is to play Halo. Literally no other reason for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I was (up until the end of the sony conference) fully supporting Xbox One.
But to see Sony just go and take all the bad things about the Xbox One and say “Well we are not doing any of that”…Really blaringly tells you where MS is going.
I will end up buying the XBone eventually. When it is cheaper, Halo (5?) comes out and they fix the used game issues.
I can live with the online, I can live with the kinect, but limiting the use of Used games after you have already purchased them is ridiculous.
And what about the Xbox makes it 100$ more expensive anyway? the PS4 is the one with the better Hardware!
MS is milking us. Thats why.

It can do more, from what I understand.
yea, more DRMing and More restrictions on basically everything you have already bought and paid for.
When did the Xbox, the gaming hub of microsoft, turn into Windows 8 with Cable?
> If you really are buying an xbox one, have fun always having to be signed in to play (if you play offline without connecting for 24 hours you can’t play the games you paid for),
My Xbox 360 hasn’t been disconnected from the internet since I got it.
> and have fun having an AI continue to play your game online while you aren’t actually playing.
Seems like a great feature to me. You’re grasping at straws to find something negative.
> Don’t forget about how the X-One is always on and aware with a microphone (microsoft was just one of the companies to be signed with the NSA to gain access to all of an individuals information through their web accounts).
Paranoid much? You think Microsoft is going to find your life, or my life interesting enough to waste tons of bandwidth, money and time to spy on us? What about your cell phone with cameras on the front and the back and a microphone? Or how about your Laptop with a built in web cam? Or your tablet with a built in web cam? Seems like you are trying to find a reason to make your decision make sense to you but you can’t find one.
> Also, $500 system, more gold membership costs, and overpriced on demand games.
Guess what! PS4 requires a membership to play online! That $500 price tag comes with a Kinect, a blu Ray player, a nice controller, Twitch Streaming, Skype, and TV Integration. PS3 also has the same prices for on demand games on launch…when they have them available on launch.

Like their modern sci fi series Killzone?
Listen man, you can pick whatever console you like, just be respectful to others who disagree with you and pick the opposite.
xbox had way better titles than the ps4
> It can do more, from what I understand.
Are you talking about the Cloud? If so, the the answer is not really.
Think of all the people with sporadic/ unreliable internet. Even if they meet the required 24 hour check in once a day somehow, they won’t have access to Cloud servers. Which means one of two things:
A) Some people will have ‘better’ XOnes then others. Which cannot happen. Mainly because you can’t have a console on the market with the same name and same packaging, but one will end up playing games-technologically speaking-better, even to the extent that some XOnes won’t be able to play certain games while others can. This would be an even bigger disaster.
B) Games are built with the assumption that Cloud can’t be used-Cloud as an ‘extra’. Most likely to happen.
So devs can’t really build a game based around ‘Cloud Power’ unless the game specifically says ‘Online Required’ on the box.
All this hassle from the system. Only reason I would get this system is for Halo. And that makes me really sad.
Why does the connecting to the internet bother people so bad? More than likely if you play Xbox right now you are connected to the internet. And you can trade games once for free. I don’t see what everybody is mad about
Watch Dogs, Destiny, GTA V, Assassins Creed, CoD. Not to mention KillZone, The Last of Us, and Infamous. Not to mention $100 cheaper. Also, for the Xbox $500 plus warranty (2 year) and tax comes to be $694 at Best Buy and $706 at Game Stop. Plus PS4 has all the less restrictions. Needless to say because of Halo I may still get an Xbox.
Ugh the console wars reach the next generation…
How exactly did Sony dominate? I know KH3 and FF15 are huge titles, but I myself have no interest in Square Enix. A lot of their heavy-hitter games were multiplatform and the only real advantage is the DRM and pricing.
But Sony is also bringing a paywall for online games by restricting certain apps and online play to PS+. That’s a pretty huge blow since the best thing about PS3’s online was, and only because, it was free.
As far as exclusives go, Halo has always been better than Killzone. I’m not interested in the Kinect games but Ryse looks fantastic and Dead Rising 3 also looks stellar. Insomniac’s shooter looks like Borderlands meets Mirror’s Edge so that’s interesting. And Project Spark looks like it may be the new LittleBigPlanet for user created content.
I’m not sure Halo Waypoint is the proper place to discuss Microsoft vs Sony arguments as it doesn’t necessarily pertain to Halo unless you’re conversing about potential features the XB1 may be able to offer a new Halo title…
But that said both consoles have their places, just please try to be respectful of those who buy one and not the other, or eventually both. :]

Destiny, GTA V, Assassin’s creed and CoD are on Xbox One as well…
