So is this what microsofts game plan is now? Constantly trying to enforce to customers that they made the wrong choice?

They say this like they aren't the ones who stripped dedicated servers out of the most popular FPS ever.

Does this mean it'll be easier to render dynamic fish AI even when I'm offline!?

Yea, because I completely believe anything that any Microsoft executive has to say about, really, anything these days.

*insert eyerolling emoticon here*

Their anti-gamer stupidity didn't hurt any.

I think pre-order numbers played the biggest part in this decision. Internet rage, sure, but not that much.

Hooray for physical video game copies!

Why are you complaining? If not for that "nerd rage" the Xbox One would STILL have all that restrictive DRM.

True, but they shouldn't have done it from the beginning. Hopefully this means the Witcher can be played in it's native land now.

More like people won.

Xbox lost.

It's still 100 dollars more expensive, forces kinect, and is slightly less powerful than PS4, but they'll actually be in a position to compete now, and it will be a lot closer. Of course, I doubt all the Xbox fans that preordered PS4 will switch over. Some, yeah, not all.

If you think I am defending Microsoft's DRM policy, which I called "awful" in a headline linked in this very article, you really need to work on your language skills.

Hmm

An iPad does not need to be connected to the internet at all times to be considered fully functional. You can connect it to your wifi, download whatever apps you want, and (pending the app) it will work perfectly fine without another internet connection indefinitely. That's the difference.

You DO realize that the "cloud computing" bit is bullshit, yes?

As in, they can't do it now and they can't do it in the near future because of bandwidth differences between all players and data capping?

In other words, the stuff that you think will help absolutely will not happen.

Ugh, I'm so sick of the "we need 24-hour connections because our games are always being updated" excuse. It's total bullshit. MMO's are also undergoing constant updates but they don't force you to check in on a fixed schedule (even when you're not playing) to get them. You log in when you feel like logging in and get…

The iPad comparison is terrible.

Hell it took the Ignite engine to have guys slide past other players on the field, yet I saw that shit in NFL 2K5. It's funny how the best Madden games were made when they had good competition. Madden has had two notable games this generation with Madden 10, and Madden 13, and that just shows you how stagnant they…

If we're perfectly honest, there's only one true winner of this console generation.
