Shock and awe. Drop as much information as possible. People probably will go crazy about the games, and the system's capabilities as a gaming machine, and this feature and that announcement... things that will make you want to buy a system or another! Then, clarify all the shit that is making people uncomfortable.…

Indeed, it does not, my friend. Kotaku will keep on posting nonsense and people will keep on going nuts over assumptions.

"I can't imagine they would let that go on when it would be absurdly easy to stop it just by making some clear statements."

Precisely my opinion. This is getting old. But, Kotaku sure is attracting page views.

Again: wait for E3.

It will, eventually. But it won't be available for PCs immediately after launch.

Oh, I'll buy the Xbox One. There is no turning back from this DRMed content.
The way I see it, there's no 'draconian nonsense'. A very limited portion of the new box's functionalities was displayed. Games? CoD(?)... could not care less. E3 will be the best part of the reveal, and it is yet to come.

All in all, this is…

Right on!

The author is a Sony fanboy. He's australian from the looks of it (no offense Australia) and Sony is more predominant in the East. He's interested in Xbox One failling.

I really don't understand people's reaction to so many of the rumors, or even the facts. Kotaku specially takes days to mention something positive…

No one? How many comments in this section? How many responses? Lol, you're lunatic.

We'll see about that after E3. Look for me, logic-man.

I believe that further into this generation, more games will be ported to PCs due to the new boxes architecture. But exclusives are exclusives. Microsoft and Sony won't put their exclusives on PC. Exclusives are tha games that make you buy a console or another... or a PC.

Oh well, maybe it will. Years from now. Rockstar said no plans for a PC port.

A good gaming PC is expensive. I'm brazilian and I have a computer to render 3D models. People called it 'Monster'. I spent R$4000,00 (US$2000,00) on it. Also, it's the ideal gaming machine you can afford here. Consoles are on sale now for as low as R$700,00 (US$350,00) here in Brazil.

There are many advantages.…

No, it's not only Geoff's speculation. Other gaming community sites have been pointing this out for some time now.

Look, I think you're mature enough saying that's what you're going to do instead of blacklash the whole thing. In fact I sort of admire you. I could say that I even agree with you that sometime in the future, games may end up being subscription based. But I think these are things we cannot avoid. The hardcore gamer…

Well, I'll be on lines during holidays waiting for stores to open so I can buy games with my hard earned money.

Once again, I have to say this: I agree most of these changes can be a pain in the ass. But I will not drop gaming over this.

Maybe they will. Or maybe they will not!
Sorry to disagree with you on that. I strongly doubt console and publisher will crash and burn. In fact, I believe they will thrive.

I see what you did there. But I referring to Nintendo as 'non-DRM' (not my words, yours) concerning this very recent change in DRM policy both Sony and Microsoft are putting in effect on this generation. Nintendo is not showing any signs they are going to implement something like this for now.

I've said this in my comments. Indeed, Sony did say it's up to the publishers. And yes, it does mean they will put DRM-policy in effect.
