Too lazy for clickies, sorry.

Also,

My Faith in Humanity = -9000 (if this happens to be true, could be a media trick just to get more sales in M's pockets)

PS: Links can end up broken for unknown reasons, but they still load at times it seems. The first link quote of the main post is:

"I went to go pre-order The Xbox One today.
I know I know what you guys are thinking! But even though my GUT and HEAD tell me NO... MY HEART TELLS ME YES!
I love the original xbox and the xbox 360 so much that I almost pre-ordered the Xbox One.
I asked the gamestop employee how many Ps4 Pre-orders they have and he said 50...
Then I asked the employee how many Xbox One Pre-orders they have and he said 4... and two of them were from their own employees who are already getting both.
I decided not to put a pre-order on any of the systems. I will look into going into PC gaming.
Xbox One triumphs Ps4 in every single feature... But the Used Games and Online Policy kills it for me.
Those numbers I received from gamestop today aren't just numbers...
I will more then happily go and drop $1000 on release date on the xbox one if they remove these policies.
But until then... Hello PC Gaming."

"Xbox One triumphs Ps4 in every single feature"

This one made me laugh so much xD
Let me correct that for you.

The PS4 triumphs over XBONE in EVERY single feature and then some.

This is always to be expected. I wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 sold out of preorders when it went up too. There will always be that dedicated group of fanpersons who would buy their respective systems even if they were thousands of dollars and required the user's blood to run. Once those dry up then the real consumers dictate which console is the more successful one.

Since when was region locked, unchangeable HDD, (no used games and always online already mentioned,) always watching camera, weaker GPU, AND more expensive console become a fucking feature? lol

Jeeze. With idiots like that I bet the Xbone is going to sell quite well.

Though if fox or some news station mentions big brother camera people might drop the system completely.

for years people rage for DRM on games, people rage for "graphics" and for non sense stuff............but everyone gives $499 for console that is an Tivo/watercooler/DRM Machine and praise it........ woaaaaaaaaaaah this world........ i start wondering that people on this world totally lost their self respect.....

$499

  • you're just renting a game, you can't do what you want because MS has the control
  • you cant borrow or sell
  • way weaker hardware (this will became evident on 3-4years at current pace of evolution in games)
  • your internet failed you? well you got watercooler with blu-ray....... forget the gamming part
  • 24h checkin.......wait........are you a criminal? even criminals only check at police station once a week
  • $499 <--------------------- SERIOUSLY ????
  • "all in one" wait.......... not quite!!! that would be true if xbone did all in just one device but......thats not the case, you need everything connected to your console so.......... its the whole bunch of devices connected to...when you can just keep them as they're connected to your tv, why buy an $499 addon??

No matter what happens, sales will still be 45%-55%. Maybe XBox One will be a little behind on the preorders, but masses of incredibly stupid people will buy it anyway.

You know what really surprised me? You take the time to write that you're too lazy for clickers instead of doing the clickers.

Yes because doing the clickers will imply in trial and error or me to go and get the one tab with info in how to format stuff in this forum.

I always get the code wrong, it's confusing like hell, don't blame me.

I wait for the time where people realize that XBox one will be the console equivalent of Steam. Used game sales? Eliminated. Disks? Eliminated.

Who knows, I'm almost 100% certain that Micro$oft will do something right for once and copy the Steam sales idea.

But hey, I buy a PS4 anyways because it's cheaper and I'm a student. Might buy the XB1 later down the line to get my hands on a few exclusives (Dead Rising 3 mainly).

Just a trick. The number of available pre-orders is just arbitrary. Could be 5 pieces, could be 5,000, could be 500,000.
