**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Well the technology has advanced enough that it can detect more precise movements, this can only be a good thing. (While I'm not saying it's at minority report level, being able to detect digit movement could be used in all sorts of ways!)

Really it just feels like you're grasping to anything you can to bash the Xbox.

I'm trying to understand why you would force consumers to have a state of the art monitoring device that is "always on" in your front room and make this a feature of your console and for consumers not to be questioning why they need this and or why they should be forced to have it.

I can guarantee if they said it was an "extra" and removed it from the bundle and the machine didn't require it, this would not be an issue at all.
 
This has been explained to you several times. If it isn't mandatory then devs are far less likely to incorporate features into their games for a device that not everyone in the userbase has.

Sony's Jack Tretton confirms third-party publishers can enforce DRM for playing used games online, just like with PS3

This morning, Tretton said: "Well, I mean, we create the platform, we've certainly stated that our first-party games are not going to be doing that, but we welcome publishers and their business models to our platform. There's gonna be free-to-play, there's gonna be every potential business model on there, and again, that's up to their relationship with the consumer, what do they think is going to put them in the best fit. We're not going to dictate that, we're gonna give them a platform to publish on. The DRM decision is going to have to be answered by the third parties, it's not something we're going to control, or dictate, or mandate, or implement."


this is exactly what Microsoft have said as well but why do people not see that sony doing the same?

ok I admit the 24hr check is diff but the publishers are gonna decide DRM same as X1, if the have DRM on the X! I bet you a stack of money the publisher will do same on ps4. makes no sense for the publisher to implement DRM on one console and not the other

Sony has already confirmed they are not going to allow any developers to implement an online pass system and the DRM system on the PS4 is EXACTLY the same as PS3. Nothing has changed. PS4 will be nothing like the XB1 in terms of restrictions, so please so stop to insist they will be the same.

What? you are asking why it would need to monitor heart rate etc, it will be a feature in fitness games, not constantly monitoring you slouched on the sofa.

Ok i appreciate that, but world wide, how many "gamers" will be rocking there Kinect fitness?

Just Dance 3 for example was probably the biggest seller and that sold the most on the Wii.

What's even funnier is that that i suspect most of the people who would actually want Kinect for things like the fitness and dance games would be the same people who don't connect their 360 to the internet, and so won't buy a XB1 anyway
 
I have no problem with discussing it, it's that eventually he'll realise he doesn't really have a point and go quiet again...then bring it up in a couple of pages. Perhaps you're right, I should really just stick the fanboys on ignore.

I suspect you have no idea if that is true or not.
 
I'll ask in game for at lunchtime, im pre-ordering mine then. no point in pre-ordering from microsoft or unfortunatly here as im not paying someone £430 5 months before it arrives it will be the first time ive bought anything from them in about 8 years.
I'm sold on the XBONE i like the exclusives and the the downs arent that bigger downs to me, most of PS4s exclusives im interested in i am already playing on PC (planetside 2, warframe and warthunder being the 3 that jumped out).

Early xmas present for myself and the wife, and rather than getting a PS4 on release ill get a new G Card next month for the PC and have the best of both worlds.
