Xbox One

It's sad how they are trying to make video games so personalized that now you can't even lend your games to a friend without paying a fee.

I remember going down to my cousins house with a pocket full of GBA games. But usually we always made the same trade: If I let him borrow Super Mario World he'd let me borrow Superstar Saga.

Not that this affects me however, because the only game released on a Microsoft console that I really liked was Halo: Reach. And because of the lack of backwards compatibility it's not like I could even play it on an Xbox 1.

That is just freaking hilarious
 
So now Microsoft and Sony are doing the same move that made me not want a PS3. So if I get a 360 I'm sticking with it.
 
I can give five good reasons why I'm not buying an xbox one:

1. No Mario
2. No Zelda
3. No Pikmin
4. No Smash bros
5. No Mario kart

Anyone else want to add some other reasons, feel free but those are my reasons.
 
so you're going to confine yourself to just nintendo?

eh, whatever, your loss. though i don't want an xbox one either.

Those are bad reasons, actually. Here are five actually good reasons, just for comparison:
1. No backwards compatibility.
2. Always-online.
3. Pay full price of game to use a disc you already bought on a different console.
4. Voice commands that allow people to fuck up your game, or even turn the console off while you're playing.
5. No games.

My reasons

1-5. No Baby Luigi

I'm a shallow little moron but those reasons fit a shallow ignorant moron like me.
 
A reason why I feel this system is not worth it is because this system is looks like a very crappy attempt to somewhat copy the BS-X Satelleview, a expansion for the SNES that was made by Nintendo and St.GIGA.

If you do not know how the Satellaview works, it works like this.

St.GIGA was able to broadcast several games and digital magazines via satellite. The SNES stellaview would be able to download those games and magazines via a box similar to a router or cable box. Some games could only be played during the broadcast. These games featured voice acting and fully orchestrated music being streamed while you are playing the game.
 
I wonder if Microsoft actually understands that they aren't the only company in the highly competitive technology market, or that reality is a thing that exists. The always online thing is going to block out entire countries from using the console, and that's not exactly "competing".
