Now that Microsoft realized that the once a day internet connection and no trading of games was a miserable idea they may regain some support. Didn't mean to hurt the Xbox fanboys in here. Its cool, once the systems hit the market we will see what unfolds.

Please read all my posts if you have not.

Sorry if I sounded harsh but some of what you said is exactly why (myself included) people were so confused. I am no fan boy and never sounded like one in any of my posts, maybe the first one, but it was just explaining my past wit the Xbox. The rest were trying to give everyone clear details as I found them and not media/internet hype.

I love the PS3 for the use I get out of it and will be purchasing a PS4 as well. The majority of your friends were probably jumping on the hate wagon because it is the easiest thing to do. Until I started to really dig I was almost converted as well. I say that as a supporter of both systems how ever as I mentioned before, I want the best online gaming environment. Im rolling my dice with Microsoft again.

$100 more and you get Kinect 2 with it? How are ppl complaining about that? This is a system you'll have (and for Xbox One's case use even after you're over console gaming with its tv integration) for so long. Ppl dish out $500 every year for new cell phones. That's the price of a new game and controller! And if you get the PS4 camera (which is vastly inferior) it's a $50 difference. Get over it!

Their specs a nearly identical, with Xbox One having the edge in cloud based gaming, which puts the load on servers instead of your Xbox.

They're both cool systems. Neither one destroys the other (unless you want entertainment integration).

I missed the console war drama. I hope it's always like this every 7ish years.

What is great about the Kinect having to be used and worth 100.00 in my opinion is simple and has been mentioned by many in the industry. With the Kinect always being there from the beginning there is no reason for developers to not use the technology. They know every Xbox One owner is going to have one. So why not develop for it?

This is going to push technology further and enhance gaming on all levels. The only way it will fail is if they can not fully integrate it with top shelf games, no one wants bunch of kiddy Wii style games.

I have thought about the times in games where I have gotten real excited, tense, scared, etc. in games. How cool it will be for the Kinect to see those emotions by facial recognition or via the heart rate monitor. Then actively change the game to those conditions.

I cant wait to see what comes over the next few years.
