In response to "Remember what a disaster the PS3 launch was? I can't shake the feeling that both systems will be like that this time." by David

It's like they looked at the Wii success in 2006-8 and thought...what can we do to not replicate that?

how can we make gaming more exclusive to people...I know, let's make it so they have to be hooked up to the net to play anything.

I'm not as tweaked about the always on aspect in isolation as some. - David Apr 8, 07:49 7
- It might be the way of the future, but that future sucks. We almost are all always-on...by choice - Will Hunting Apr 8, 07:53
- Me neither. It's not like you're dragging your console along on a plane or in a park. - Ender Apr 8, 07:53
- New Halo is exclusive to new device. Done. -- nm - Microsoft SI Apr 8, 07:51 4
  - That's a given but it's two years away so... -- nm - David Apr 8, 07:52 3
    - That's your reason to upgrade. - spamlet Apr 8, 07:53 2
      - Hallo isn't enough to sell the system to everyone, or even half of 360s install base. - Inigo Apr 8, 08:03
      - The problem is that Microsoft gets excoriated this Christmas when there is no Halo to drive hardware sales. -- nm - David Apr 8, 07:56
I hate when companies go a route like that and say "We *have* to do it to stay competitive." No, you obviously do not. -- nm - Max Apr 8, 07:47 2
- I'm not even sure why anyone thinks this is competitive... - Will Hunting Apr 8, 07:51 1
  - They're doing it because it's what the game publishing companies want. - Inigo Apr 8, 08:13
