Can we call it the Xbone? I like that name because it teases it in a harmless way.

Notch calls it the Xbone I think

That may be where my sources heard it.

Then Xbone is a stupid name

Why do they call it the Xbox One

because they took 359 steps back

They have gone back to the days of animal skin clothes and Xbone tools.

Xbox is ♥♥♥♥, it is known khaleesi.

Who'd have ever thought that'd turn into a meme?

Didn't see this originally, I will say everyone seems to love PS4 and it has a ♥♥♥♥ of a punch that certainly outclasses my PC (8GB GDDR5 RAM jesus christ) GPU is very solid too. Developers love the PC-based architecture. PSN is second only to Steam. Indie developers can self-publish games and Sony are actively encouraging / looking for indie startups.

As for games it, depending on your taste, has a good starting lineup as is and will be running all cross-plats at basically max settings (because again thank jesus for PC architecture) for a while

Assuming Sony have learned from pricing issues I really doubt it'll cost any more than $500 at an absolute max, and it'd be pretty difficult to assemble a PC with equivalent hardware at that price, let alone equivalent optimized performance (optimization is ♥♥♥♥ insane, do you see how these dinosaur consoles with 512mb of RAM are running games? pretty well)

So yeah it so far looks like a pretty great investment. Admittedly I'll wait at least a year for inevitable price drops and the smoothing out of first gen kinks.

Stop that. Being contrary and "true to retro" doesn't make you cool.

The Wii U is boring and as of right now a completely unremarkable launch compared to Wii's dominance

The Xbox One looks like melted turds on top of turds

2/3 is not bad

I'll change my tune if Sony is actually turning over a new leaf as far as their heavy-handedness with the PS3 sphere of indie gamers and hackers. As of now, a shiny new console with a ♥♥♥♥ company behind it still stinks to me, but I don't hold grudges if it's sincere.


If "being true to retro" means I liked it when the triple A advertised-everywhere games were more varied than the same shooter/RPG with the same antihero protagonist, then yeah. I can't step out the door without being hit with an ad for Halo this, CoD that, Assassins' Creed, shooting with movie-styled action sequences, et cetera. I almost can't tell them apart anymore except for the title/ending sequence.

Dunno about hackers but they are actively encouraging indie partnerships and will allow indie developers to self-publish.

I imagine that due to the PC architecture they might struggle even more with preventing hackers but I doubt they'll be super positive about them.
