2) It's not the number of ports, it's the location. Only having them on the front is daft. What's stopping Sony from putting an extra one on the back...


agreed. Please don't turn this into a sony / microsoft console war discussion.
Bit late for that, as soon as pioneer wades in it always goes the same way.
I didn't realise he was known for that, he took my comment about a redesign and took way out of context. I have both consoles and a fairly large game collection for both, my comment was simply what I thought would be a good move by MS.
Anyway, I wont bother replying to him again and hopefully the thread can get back on course.
Your comment was stupid.
Lets suggest Sony redesign the PS4 because it has illogical USB port placement, an eye-sore slanted design and is far too noisy for a modern console.
You've got sucked into the peer pressure of online console discussion, where you believe the PS4 to be the optimal design when in fact it's compact design offers nothing in functionality terms. All it does is lead to more fan noise in operation and usb leads poking out the front of the thing. If you have a valid reason to state that the PS4 is a more appropriate design (and consequently that the Xbox requires a redesign over it) give reasons to support this beyond "it's big and supposedly like a VHS player".
Why on earth would Microsoft redesign the most functional hardware and software offering in the console market...? Duh.
Nah, that just allowed backing up data. It can't do game installs on an external like the X1. Assuming that's what was meant anyway.
Moar

Now this I'm looking forward to. I love the Ninja Theory games, Enslaved was brilliant (didn't get the recognition it deserved imo) and their DMC was probably my favourite DMC. I'm sure this will turn out to be amazing![]()
