@mrfluke: I'm bugging you because that's all you've been doing in threads like this. Just keep posting the exact same 10 links anytime somebody says something you don't agree with.
@mrfluke: And again no where in that article does it specifically mention that Pre-orders or some sort of sales ranking is the primary reason. All you've been doing the past week is flaunting those activity feeds, polls, and pre-orders like they're the end-all-be-all. You can keep posting the same links over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, but I'm still going to take them with a grain of salt just like anybody else should. If you wanted to prove your point you'd post articles from mainstream papers and media. The WSJ article or even the Jimmy Fallon game interview to show that Microsoft stumbling is getting out. And even then you don't need to post the same god damn articles each time you find somebody online that doesn't quite agree with you.
@mrfluke: Again, just because you pre-order doesn't mean you bought the device. The internet is easily manipulated especially since you don't have to pay money to actually pre-orders. Are pre-orders taken into account? Sure, but not the amount that you seemingly think they do. As easily as preorders can be made, so to can they be canceled. I have to think Sony is way too smart to base their future on the "Geoff Keighley logic".
You obviously don't know how the internet works or business for that matter either (see I can do that too).
@granderojo: Look what you've gone and done. You had him post more of his dumb online statistics that don't mean anything cause nobody has actually paid for anything.
@mrfluke: Dude you really need to stop using dumb pre-order rankings, gametrailers activity feeds statistics, and online polls as an argument for your case. It's easy to pre-order a console when you don't actually pay any money to do so. I pre-ordered Duke Nukem forever and yet I don't actually own a copy of Duke Nukem Forever.
It really didn't matter to me. I was never going to be a early adopter of the Xbox One regardless of the DRM. I don't share, lend, buy used, or borrow games and I'm always connected to the internet. I can see why people can be extremely mad about the decision, but I kinda wanted to see how it went. Though, I wouldn't recommend people be day one purchasers of a unproven ecosystem. Let the fanatics, press, and tech junkies test it out and see how it goes. If the system proved itself, then I would buy one next year.
That could also just be a mistake in the system where it labels all Battlefield 4 to release October 29 cause the Xbox one also has a October 29 release date. The official release date of Battlefield is October 29th.
I suspect it's just a matter they're with a much smaller media company. Downsizing and slimming down from their bloated 20 person staff (more than that if you included 1up's staff and GameSpy before they shut them down).
Huh Audrey Drake is leaving? Maybe I can actually read their Nintendo reviews without rolling my eyes. I remember her review of Pokemon Black 2 saying its revolutionary and the most cinematic Pokemon game ever made. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Pokemon but that game was not at all revolutionary nor cinematic. Not to mention her review of Darksiders 2.
