@jazzycola: because i want to see what these people who are complaining about the xbox one now that its more open to all demographics and writing off the people who are anti drm as a vocal minority think when i shove those links in their face, it ticks me off with what those "digital zealots" want in this present time, because in my opinion, it kills options for a underestimated sizable crowd that isn't ready for an always online future and uses stuff like used games and rentals to even experience games, and if the pc crowd had that from the beginning, they would get where im coming from, (im sure i dont need to repeat the facts i threw at those guys faces if you've seen my links and arguments that are not preorder related posted in the other threads)
yes yes, preorders can be canceled, there are no stone cold preorder numbers we the public can see (publishers definitely watch preorders though, i have a buddy that worked for activision who was an analyst for them and said they track preorders, he told me that MW3 based on the preorders, turned a profit within the 1st month of preorders, also, if you really think about it, preorders are kind of similar to pledging on kickstarter, except that data is public), preorders doesn't mean there is a catch all overall winner of the console war, i know this and i get this, but to the absolute very least, absolute very least, those links and the facts i threw at those people at least show that there is a very sizable audience that you can at least extrapolate that isnt ready for a digital always online future, and it was the main reason why MS dropped those policies.
im not asking for you to agree with me, you dont have to, but to see where im coming from to the very least. now lets drop this and end it civil,im sorry for being over aggressive whether it bothered you or not. i could have done better in showing restraint, but the minute i see more selfish zealots complaining and actively fighting people in threads saying it was a vocal minority, im gonna throw the facts in the face and see what they say, as they do not see the present day big picture,
