    I can live without their consoles for the rest of my game playing life. My God, it isn’t like they do anything daring like Nintendo or Sega.

    They offer no actual advantage over my existing pc beyond IP.

    Microsoft and Sony haven’t really pushed gaming hardware forward, and if they are just selling software then my graphics card does better.

      Xbox did try with kinect. Then they shot themselves in the face by suggesting they were going to force it to always be on, always be online and use facial recognition to force everybody present to own a copy of the game.

      They backtracked quick, but the noose was already around the ki-neck by then. I’m still salty about that. The kinect was fun as heck
