With the next generation of consoles on the horizon Sony looks set to release yet another console that millions of people will enjoy, that makes 4..4! nice round 4. 3 is no longer the magic number. Microsoft however has only really had 1 console in that same caliber the 360. The first Xbox was a huge ugly looking thing that boasted great graphics but for me entered the race to late to have an impact.
If Xbox was a person
Now we have news of the Xboxone Microsoft’s launch into erm Console? TV? skype? PC? Rock? Table? I don’t know. so, sit back, grab a cuppa and read why I think the next Xbox is going to fall harder than a fat kid with lead boots…. holding another fat kid.
Wanna borrow my game? haha only joking I own an Xbox
One of the big things with the new Xbox is the fact that people need to register their games online when they are purchased and in that way it kind of becomes attached to the owner.
These aren’t my glasses
so, if you toddle off to your friends house to shoot some nazi’s or to play some football you can,so long as you log in to your profile, but they cannot borrow your games oh no sir not with out having to again basically purchase the right to play the game. Ok I hear you cry we shouldn’t be borrowing from our friends and perhaps its a small issue but think about it on a larger scale. Lovefilm game lending is over, buying preowned games? over… game over man.
Love Film is annoying any way.. so thanks Xbox
It seems as if Microsoft are targeting only the wealthy, the people who can afford new titles when they want and laugh at those of us who sit there playing demo’s as its all we can have. It also means when you are completed with the awful game you purchased and regret it you can’t even take it back to trade in.
No internet No prob… wait no sorry problem
Another strange thing Xbox is doing is having the console online 24/7 or at the very least it has to make one connection once a day. Well great. I’m sure it won’t effect many people who will be laughing and clicking and calling your mum fat over fiber optic on release day.
but what of the people who don’t have a great internet connection? maybe it breaks regularly maybe you just don’t have it. well if that happens you can still use you Xbox, it can be used as a coffee table or a foot rest or a door stop but not a game machine no no, that’s silly talk.
Watch TV on your XBOX!… But I own a TV...
Consoles are slowly becoming more entertainment centers and less gaming machines which is great a sign of the times an evolution of greatness. However, the new Xbox seems to be promoting an awful lot of TV features, watch sport, watch TV watch SPORTS or TV or SPORTS!!! YEAH SPORTS WOO. But thing is… I already own a TV. I must other wise I’ve brought an Xbox to look at and not much else and my TV already has TV shows and sports. so that selling point suddenly become moot not so much a selling point as useless feature like nipples on men.Further more if you own a smart TV then your TV can connect to facebook, youtube and all kinds of amazing things. Then why on earth would you turn on your TV ignore the facebook section turn on your Xbox to connect to facebook. Sony no doubt will be guilty of this too but that is equally useless.
There we have it, my three reasons why I think the Xboxone is balls and why Microsoft are being slightly if not very Penis like. If only for the removal of the ability to buy preowned games despite the fact that new games will be around the £45 mark. and that if you can’t get on the internet then you console is basically just a living room feature like a really bulky plant pot that can’t hold plants. For me Sony has gained the upper hand in this early battle. But there is a lot of time left for them to not totally balls it up.

Reblogged this on Another Frustrated Sigh? and commented:
A good balanced read from a man who knows his stuff
Microsof have since changed their position and the Xbox will be able to play traded games from certain retailers and you can give your games to a friend for free only once and if you have been friends with them for 30 days or more. still stupidly though you cant play games if you haven’t connect for 24 hours.. but you can do everything else… a games console people..
