Xbox One Launch Woes Were Preventable, Next Console Likely Digital Download Only
MojoKid writes: Microsoft's Xbox One launch didn't go off exactly as planned in late 2013. Before the console's release, the company was dogged over DRM restrictions with the console and concerns over its high price tag compared to its counterpart, the Sony PlayStation 4. Microsoft would attribute the higher price tag to the included Kinect camera — a peripheral that many gamers didn't particularly care for. Former Xbox Chief Robbie Bach offered his two cents recently on the Xbox One — a console that launched years after he announced he retired from the company in 2010. Bach noted, regarding the Xbox One's rocky launch, "...gosh, I think some of that was predictable and preventable." As for the future of physical game media, Bach doesn't think that the future will be so bright when it comes to DRM and always-connected requirements in the next generation of gaming consoles. He said that the next Xbox would "probably not" have physical media to speak of, with consoles adopting digital-only distribution.
Then M$ can go choke on a bucket of dicks. Shove the cloud/DRM bullshit up your ass.
This.
PS4 is way better than Xbox 1. Microsoft is already talking about the next console eh? I have never bought a Microsoft console nor will I ever.
That anti-trust company needs to die. Windows 10 being global spyware is the end. All of your PC data and gaming too? Answer to an anti-trust spyware corporation? Nah. ,,|,,
