Here's a new business model Microsoft. Drop the forced Kinect support, and focus on your hardcore customers.

I have been an Xbox fanboy for as long as I can remember, but when it comes down to it the Playstation 3 is so much better now. The cost of PSN+ gets you free games, ACTUAL discount on games and offers a lot more than Xbox Live is currently offering. People need to look neutrally when the new consoles come out, and see what Live and PSN are offering, cause as much as the fanboy inside you wants you to buy a certain console, you NEED to get your monies worth when it's so difficult to get nowadays.

As someone who games on Xbox 95% of the time, I can tell you that the rumors alone of a mandatory LIVE connection, mandatory Kinect 2 functions & possibly no used games has me very curious as to what Sony has to reveal.

O man stop banging on about kinect and get out more. Nobody is forcing anybody to use kinect unless U buy a kinect only game. And nobody is forcing you to buy a kinect only game. The moaning is really getting old now. I've never used kinect in any off the kinect supported games, and I have kinect. If I fancie a dance ill go up a club or something, ms isn't forcing me to buy dance central now are they.

Here come all the complaints that the Xbox no longer caters to hardcore gamers.
Turn Xbox on - put in disc - wait for game to load. There. Hardcore gamers catered for.
Personally I cannot wait for the next Xbox reveal. All the news so far has me excited. Yes the Kinect parts too. I do enjoy taking out my Halo or Skyrim disc and playing a few kinect games with younger siblings or drunken friends.

I think I'll wait a good while before jumping into the next-gen consoles. Although I didn't buy a 360 at launch, the whole RROD fiasco has made me rather cautious when it comes to launches - worth waiting a while with your money to make sure there isn't a high failure rate, and hopefully you'll save some money from buying it later. Not only that though but to get a better idea of what the two consoles offer - when I bought my 360 to me it was the better option, but at this point in the gen the PS3 feels the much better option (mainly due to PS+).
I'll most likely pick up both consoles in the long run, but for now I'll just play the waiting game

I'll most likely get both a PS4 and a 720, but what we learn when they are both announced is what's going to determine what console I choose as my main next gen. If Sony has a better overall console, online and off, I will probably pick up the PS4 first and use that as my main console.

Microsoft is the devil we all know this pretty soon we will have to be connected via I.V. and our wallets will have to be weighed on a scale attachment so xbox knows how much money we have.... but last i checked nobody is forcing anyone to buy the next console. if you dont like the features of the system then dont buy it, im sure you can think of plenty other things to spend your kinkos paycheck on

The Sony press event has me curious too. They aren't going to reveal anything too big as then they would miss the chance to compete at E3. I think the best thing Sony can do is just outline the new online service skipping most of the detail, confirm or deny a couple of rumors (used games, new eyetoy, touch screen controller, etc) and show some teasers of first part games.

At the end of the day all people care about is what exclusives do they have, how is the console different, and how do you control it.

All the playstation guys will be pumped up. I know I will be when they release the new xbox as long there are improvements in the graphics power of the console and faster hard drive.

@6 But when you stop paying for your renting discounts, they go away. My 173 Arcade games are forever.

If the rumours about no backwards compatibility and blocked used games are true, I won't be getting a next-gen console AT ALL. I'll just stick to my 360 and buy some new parts for my PC when necessary...

its funny how most people are taking rumour's as truth about the new xbox so I also heard the newest xbox will have a robot that comes out and makes you snacks plus hot coco.

But as a few said I am curious to what the ps4 announcement will show I mean regardless if I want to buy it or not its great for the industry as that will push Microsoft to make sure they are doing there best not just for the casual but also for the gamers (as we have heard of blacktusk making 4 next gen exclusive titles) 343 is sopposdly working on a halo 2 remake on the halo 4 engine a new pgr game from a team made of original pgr people and burnout guys so so far the news of gamers is pretty good.

I read this article on the PS3T site first. Here are some of the comments from there:
"Too bad for him people might know about Xbox, but don't care for it."
"It IS an accomplishment, especially considering the atrocious failure rate of the Xbox"
"Xbox sucks. Period."
"You know why the Xbox is outselling the PS3, price and piracy, plain and simple. In this economy those things will always win, we'll done Microsoft for making yourselves a laughing stock with real gamers."

I don't know why PS3 gamers are so... aggressive lol

Microsoft went downhill ever since the Kinect. Sure, it has sold millions, but the quality of the company have dropped drastically.

I agree with @6 100%
Right now, PSN+ makes XBLG look like charity group.

@16 Just out of curiosity, why would you stop paying for it when you're aware of the benefits. Would you not rather pay for PSN+ than for Live? I'm pretty sure the incentives to put the money to PS+ are a lot more of value than your Xbox Live membership. Not completely aware of how it all works because I don't own a PS3, but I stopped paying for live long ago when I could no longer justify my purchase. I'm 100% sure I could justify buying PSN+ though.

@19, because they feel the need to prove their better as gamers. Just like PC gamers do over console gamers.

Truth is, we're all gamers and console/system should make one gamer better than another.

I'm sure both the new Box and the new Playstation will be great, despite all these awful rumors. I just don't know which one I'm going to get...

I love the Xbox. But i won't let my love for the xbox have anything to do with my decision about buying the PS4 or the Xbox 720.
If Sony impresses me more than Microsoft, i will gladly toss away my GS. Microsoft has started to fill the 360 with so much shit that i as a gamer don't need... And if they are going to make the 720 ``An entertainment system that every household is going to need`` and focus less on the gamesystem then actually makeing a fucking game console, I will abandon the Xbox ship.

@24 I constantly see folk banging on about PSN+ just out of interest do you think Sony will still be doing it nextgen? And what benefit would it be to someone like myself who has played 450+ games to date? Final question does installing it after downloading take the same time it takes to install off the disc?

Haven't used my ps3 when it took over an hour to install MoH Airbourne 4 years ago. Also do they have cross game party chat on the ps3 yet?

Serious questions.

@8 Did you not hear the rumor that the next system might come with a Kinect that you HAVE TO use for the whole thing to even work? I don't want to talk to or wave at my Xbox. So if the rumor turns out to be true then yes, they ARE forcing it. Time will tell.
