[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16436648, member: 105608"] [LIST] [*]The Xbox One would require a persistent internet connection. No internet connection, no game worked at all, physical or digital copy. The Xbox required an internet connection once a day or you couldn't play ANY game at all. [*]The Xbox One wouldn't play used games — you'd put in a disc, install it to the console's hard drive, take out the disc and it would effectively be useless. No more GameStop (lol) or buying used games from eBay/Craigslist. [*]Every Xbox One would come with a Kinect motion sensor. Many people didn't want it and it was viewed as being forced on the public and an unnecessary price increase. On top of that, the Xbox REQUIRED the Kinect to be plugged in or the console wouldn't work. It was always on, and you couldn't turn off the cameras or the microphone. It was considered a huge security issue just waiting to happen. [*]The Xbox One cost $500 at launch, $100 more than the PlayStation 4. This was due to the above and it basically sealed the deal against the Xbox One. [/LIST] The original Xbox division leader was fired over all this. His successor was also fired but that was more due to terrible marketing but considering what he inherited, it wasn't exactly fair. Not long after, most everything was rolled back, the stupid Kinect was removed, and the price dropped by $100 to equal the PS4 but it was too late. TL; DR: Microsoft tried to turn everyone's Xbox in to a windows machine and gamers told them the **** off. [/QUOTE]
