Microsoft can go blow themselves. I don't regret going with a 360 over a PS3 this generation, but even with their change of heart, there are craploads of issues I have with the Xbox One compared to the PS4.
And I could go on.
But yeah. Square Enix have been kind of amazeballs the last couple years. Well, except for complaining of Tomb Raider underperforming as one of the scapegoats for their financial difficulties on the one hand, and celebrating how it's the fastest selling game in the franchise on the other. That's been kind of a dick move.
- It's still got a mandatory Kinect being all creepy, that I don't even want any of the features of.
- It's still more expensive due to that Kinect being bundled with the console.
- It's still less powerful than the PS4.
- Microsoft are still unfriendly to indie developers.
- I already have a Vita and am pleased at the interactions it will have with the PS4, but nothing like it seems to be in the works at MS.
- Cloud-based, and possibly emulated, backwards compatibility is better than none at all.
- I do not care about multimedia features, especially ones that are useless in Australia. Having them and acknowledging it is fine, pushing them is terrible.
- The reversal also means MS are scrapping some of the cool sharing features they were planning to implement, even though Sony is doing some stuff in that direction.
- You still have to go online just once before you can ever use your Xbox One. That just seems petty.
