360 used a custom powerpc/cell architecture cpu
the new one uses an amd x86 architecture cpu
though i heard they will be releasing another add-on box for ~$100-150 that will let you play 360 games (it's basically a second console in a box)

Microsoft, you be crazy! :P After all these years, still leeching off Apple ideas. Consoles are getting way too weird for me, I miss the simplicity of just plugging in a cartridge, turning on the system and just play. Guess I'm just getting too old for this stuff it seems.

Though I do feel they are putting too much focus on non-game related functions. But that seems to be where the whole game industry is heading, less focus on gaming and more on social applications/media and gimmicks.

The Xbox One will run 3 operating systems: Xbox OS, Kernel for Windows and Interact OS that allows Xbox OS and Kernel for Windows to talk to each other. The Xbox One will not be backward compatible with Xbox 360 games.
Each Xbox One will be paired with the new Kinect, which comes with a 1080p camera and can read 2GB of data per second.
The new Xbox One controller will have vibration built into the triggers, and will have a new D-pad, and built-in battery.
The number of servers powering the Xbox Live has been increased from 500 initially in 2002, to 15,000 for Xbox 360, and further increase to 300,000 for Xbox One.
Microsoft announced that more than 15 exclusive games will release within the first year of Xbox One, eight are brand-new franchises

New games
Are they serious with this? Ok so aside from the fact that the games are just a one off deal when you buy them we have to get online to even activate them.........really.........so not only do we need to have internet access but we need to have xbox live to play the games that WE ALREADY PAYED FOR to even start them up, o.O#. Oh and here is another subject on that matter, say you are inputting that one off activation code and everything is done and you hit activate and my oh my the internet goes down :o do we now have a useless game that we just payed 60+ dollars for?
Used games
I now get to answer some of my own questions
Scenario 1- I pick up a brand new fresh limited edition copy of a game for $80, get about a month in and the disk gets scratched now my only option is to pick up a 60 copy of the regular version of this game just to play it.
Scenario 2- A friend down the street has a game I would like to play and in turn I have a game that he/she would like to play so lets swap games for a bit oh but wait that can't happen anymore.
Scenario 3- Gamefly(rent game), Gamestop(makes more money on used game sales).........................destroyed and out of business
Scenario/question 4- Or(and 360 owners know this one very well) the console breaks and you now have to get a new one does this mean your library of games is now worthless because this new doesn't have the activation codes stored on it?
Scenario/question 5- Backward compatibility, would it even work?
1. yes/no activation code may still work with used disc but with no one taking trade in for used games for the xbox good luck finding a used game
2. Yup you nailed that one on the head sir
3. Seems you have got this one right to, well at least for the xbox anyway
4. unclear as they may have the activation stored on a server.
5. Nope. Better keep that 360 is fighting shape whenever you wanna play your old games or pay $100 for that rumored update so the ONE can be compatible.
Required connection
Haha, COMCAST. That's all I really have to say about this one and anyone who has their service knows what I mean.
Non replaceable hard drive
Really. As many horror stories as I have herd about HDD going out on the 360 you'd think this is one thing that wouldn't be happening but I guess it's the same with the slim(I still rock the original). Better stock up on those memory cards(haha playstation love)
Won't work without Kinect.
Come on forreally real. This thing is separate from the console so what happens when(not if) it breaks? I swear when people do stuff like this they just look at all cool applications that can be done but non of the real world problems it can cause for consumers, yea there can be a warranty to replace it but what happens when that goes away.
Kinect always on.
I'll let the conspiracy theorist handle this one
Man I love my 360 and was really excited for the ONE but unless the price is super low I won't be getting it and that really sucks. PS4 lets see what you got

Post by: overlordnick on May 27, 2013, 01:19:58 AM
people thinking logically who can't here everyone yelling "NO! THAT'S A BAD IDEA!"
very similar to windows 8
windows 8 was made with very good ideas, but when everyone starting saying "NO, THIS IS BAD, HERE'S HOW YOU FIX IT" microsoft just started talking louder
logic:
backwards compatibility: making the next gen xbox play 360 games would be about as easy as making it play laserdiscs
it would add $150 to the price, be twice as large or have cooling issues
storing to the harddrive: should be considerably faster, and who doesn't like that
used games: there is absolutely zero degradation to the game over time, so no matter what the game will be in brand new condition
games being tied to account: because the game is stored to the harddrive the disc does not need to be in the machine, you could just go around with 1 game loading it on to 50 different machines
if they didn't do that people WOULD be doing it, and microsoft knows it
internet to activate games: see
not logic/ microsoft can't hear:
500 GB harddrive: that might be good enough for some but not nearly everyone
example; and more of these people exist than you'd think
(http://www.gamefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/9685_1.JPG)
this guy is going to have alot of problems
less graphics cores(power): there is no explanation that would make that make sense
kenect always connected: i'll let others put together the conspiracies
internet once a day: there is absolutely no need for this, if the game has been activated and you're not playing online multiplayer you shouldn't need to connect
xbox live(if paid) and server verification: so i NEED online, i have to pay my provider, i have to pay you, and when the xbox squared comes out i just have a very expensive paperweight and some very expensive coasters/ frisbees

if they didn't do that people WOULD be doing it, and microsoft knows it
internet to activate games: see that point
Well here's the thing.
This prevents people from borrowing a friend's game to try it out. This also prevents the games from being able to be rented. There's absolutely no way to try out a game except for actually buying it. The game being tied to account serves to further enforce this.
As it turns out, not everyone can afford to buy games new and instead look for them used to save a few bucks.
As for the internet thing, well not everyone has a stable enough internet.
Post by: overlordnick on May 27, 2013, 03:09:49 AM
besides youtube reviews/overviews/first looks kind of make that somewhat unnecessary
for rental services, i don't think companies have ever liked those, and with games getting shorter and shorter (remember when a game would take minimum 40 hours to finish) buying a game is less practical
for the internet, i'd have to hope if you're actually paying for internet you have a good enough connection for a MAX 5 minute verification (i think i worded that section wrong <edited it>)
Post by: Darkflare on May 27, 2013, 03:43:18 AM
Reviews are all right, but they're more like suggestions.
I don't remember when games took 40 hours to complete minimum unless the game in question was an jRPG. Rentals are just another way to try something before buying it, if anything Used games would hurt them more.
It's just a nuisance. And what if you don't have internet for some time...or that the internet is very unstable at the moment? It's just another nuisance added on.
Post by: Kriven on May 27, 2013, 07:44:47 AM
I don't understand why the XB-1 is so different from the 360 that it couldn't be backwards compatibile. Why would they abandon what was already built instead of polishing it?

Just more terrible news from Microsoft(well I think it is). Main points
Always Online-
“With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies."
Used Games and Giving Games to Friends-
"Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers. Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this."
"The company added that “Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.”
o.O#. Ok so now that it's no longer speculation and my worst fears for this xbox have been realized the only thing I have left is the price which isn't looking good either, friend at best buy said $700 xbox and $500 PS4 but he said it could still change. Looks like my library for my 360 and PS3 are about to get a lot bigger

what is said is that if you don't have internet then don't get the Xbox 1 and stick with your 360
Interpreted by Microsoft- It's ok if you don't have connection because we still make a system for you so everyone is happy.
Interpreted by gamers- You don't have connection well to bad stick with your old system.
They are just doing Sony's job for them at this point.

I read this during my lunch break. I gotta say, I'm a bit jaded to this whole ordeal because this never should have been an issue in the first place and I honestly think it shows what a sad state console gaming is in when the competition is lauded with standing ovation for essentially doing nothing.
That having been said, I glad that I can feel at least at ease with purchasing an XB1 down the road. I won't be waiting in line for one or getting one anytime this year probably, but when I do I know that it at least won't brick on me because of the internal design. Knowing MS, it'll probably brick for some other entirely different architectural reason .

At least Xbox One will actually be competitors to the PS4 again. All it's missing is being backward compatible now without needing to dish out another $100 - 150.Doesn't the PS4 lack backwards compatibility as well?

Took you long enough xbox.
Oh my gosh!!! I didn't think they'd actually do it!
IF this is really true, I am SO glad Microsoft is coming to their senses.
Now all they need to do is create a cheaper version that isn't an "all in one entertainment center" and just plays video games. :P
I feel much better about Xbox One. The major issues are resolved so far.
I wonder if there will be a catch, like the games maybe more expensive or something. Only time will tell.
Post by: DEMONKAI on June 20, 2013, 11:40:34 AM
the Xbox one will only require a one-time Internet setup with the new console
i mean thats minor compared to the major annoying changes they did but it will still kinda suck if you dont have the internet period at that point in your home......
Best quick fix is to go to a friends home or family home and get it done off their internet for that one time set up lmao :P
anyway...
GameStop said they no longer accept pre-orders of launch-day Xbox One consoles, launch day allocation has reached its cap. Polygon reported that each store will have approximately 15 Xbox One consoles, but they have significantly more PS4 at launch, there are around 60 units per store, and they are still accepting preorders of PS4.

WHEEW! #:-S cause i was mad praying they change all those retarded ideas for they made no consumer sense at all. sales would be in the toilet. So now we just need what Twin suggested...a cheaper version . ;D
Now i dont mind giving up some cash this year fopr the system but first...i got to see what other fighting games will be on it. If this thing does a super surprise and have a Backwards feature then its a total win....wont hold my breath for that tho. lol. just a dream. :-j
I still want a PS4 tho but right now....i just want to see what all the games really gonna look like graphics wise that will be farther superior to the current consoles cause if it looks like these ones can do the same thing...then no need to be rushing to buy any of them for me till i see the hardware being taken advantage of more seriously. I give them an extra year to see what kicks out after release. :thumbsup:

Will I be able to use my gamertag from 360 for Xbox One? I don't remember hearing much about if Xbox LIVE/LIVE Marketplace will be very different from 360 or not.
i believe you can since the rep on the stage at E3 spoke on you can still carry over your gold membership account from xbox live period.

-“One of the things we were very excited about was ‘wherever we go my games are always with me.’ Now, of course your physical games won’t show up that way. The games you bought digitally will. You’ll have to bring your discs with you to have your games with you.”
- "Similarly, the sharing library [is something] we won’t be able to deliver at launch which offers to let you share games with up to nine other “family” members is gone too."
As I said I could care less about that. Like Twinimage hinted at I think Microsoft would be doing themselves a favor if they made a version that already had this patch and dropped the Kinect and charged $399 for it but seeing what they have done has given me a reason to want the xbox one again. OUR voices/wallets have spoken

Well with some more digging I've found that we no longer need the Kinect for the xbox one to run either, so Mircosoft really should have no problem making what I would like to call the "xbox one gaming edition" and charging $399.
Come on Microsoft you have already won back a lot of fans so if you make this move you will have won the console wars yet again.

Ok, so now we've come full circle when you drop the kinect. Then you have two consoles, same price, but the competitors hardware is obviously better. This is probably where Microsfot started and they hard to find a way to compete, which is the all-in-one home entertainment system. Right now, even without a kinect, I'd buy a PS4 anyways because it's a better system.

That's pretty much what's happening anyway. The only reason they have to charge the extra $100 is because of the kinect that has/had to be bundled with the xbox one and seeing as we now have the ability(after you get the patch) to turn it completely off I don't see a need for it or to have that $499 price.
Like you said you would still get the PS4 over the Xbox one which people are going to do anyway but if MS did make this option it would at least make the non hardcore gamer think twice about just pick up a PS4 because it was $100 dollars cheaper.

They haven't dropped the Kinect but they do have it to where we can turn it completely off to the point where it does nothing even with the xbox one on which is why I think they should drop it for a second cheaper console while still having the bundled xbox one with the kinect.

I think the difference we're seeing between PS4 and XBone is PS4 seems to be focused on being a next gen console and try to have the best hardware. XBone seems to be doing something similar as Nintendo, which is advertising an "experience", which most gamers just want better graphics, faster load times, better online gameplay experience. Instead XBone wants to give us stuff like watching TV, Windows 8 style interface, running apps like twitch, the Kinect recognizing who has the controller, blood flow and heart beat, bla bla bla. No one asked for this. I'm not saying I won't buy one eventually. It will be interesting to see if the Xbox "experience" compensates for the few glaring negatives.

i got the easiest answer to that question bro. ITS ALL PS Fans users only signing it...kill the competition!! :D :-?? but :D
those restrictions made no sense at all and especially in a competitive market way. they would sell far less consoles if they kept those. The only way to stay in the game is to keep up the pace and offer more user ability not take stuff away that made them where they are with their consumers. Those restrictions... would doom them ....period.

going total digital to me seems suspect and easy access to peer into where and who your giving and sharing your personal bought game to. Once i buy..its mine. No need to track who i want to share or even give it to have or use. I favor a lot of the setup they have now with 360. It works out a bit more commercially and economically.I dont like those restrictions cause they demote you the consumer from using your bought game the way you seem fit to use it and force you to do what they want you to do with what you bought. If they reinstall those restrictions..i am gonna call them XBOX CIA. :D
