i still say huge burn on anyone that bought an xbox already. you were forced to buy a kinnect under the promise that xbox would be forcing everyone to have one and therefor support for it would be amazing... because everyone had one. now they are going to sell xbox without one and are removing it's reserved processing.
let the down voting commence. you all still got burnt. not to mention, ps4 is better hardware, playing at higher resolutions without screen tearing or stuttering, like the xbox one. for less money too.
I have yet to see screen tearing or stuttering on my Xbox One. You probably didn't go into settings to set the optimal settings for your TV. Also if Microsoft goes this way with Xbox one I don't mind, just means more people will be playing with me (although most of them have the one too), and I love the kinect and loved it since having the Kinect on the 360 (which I took a very long time to buy after it came out). When you count all the expenses of buying the new console (xbox live, games, and everything), here in Canada both consoles pretty much cost the same, after said expenses.
What I saw in a video yesterday, they were saying something similar about game developpers not listening to their players, but it still applies here. The people that test these things are "yes men" as they want to keep their job, that's how we end up in these messes, they care too much about their job and just say yes it's a good idea to everything. What should really be happening is these testers say "no it's not such a great idea". Anyway that's what the person in the video was saying. Not sure I completely agree with this, but if it's right, just means the companies should do actual betas and let ordinary people test their stuff before launching it.
