It's probably going to be supply constrained so there won't be enough to meet demand. Given the "low yields" rumor, they may have less consoles at launch than the Wii U had.
Problem is that a huge chunk of that is people who already trade into Gamestop and thus won't be affected by this.
I don't know too many people who haven't preordered both and plan on cancelling one once we've made up our minds. That said, there will still be more demand than supply over the holidays. It's after the holidays that we'll see just how well it actually performs. I think there will be a lot of moms bringing back their systems because Johnny can't play the games without Internet and they don't want Johnny to be on the Internet at his age.
Don't they just send out demo discs (or digital files) with games they currently want demoed? Rather than stores just popping in a regular copy of a game to demo--at least at big box stores with official demo stations etc.
It varies. I have seen demo discs and have seen regular games at various times.
Why would anyone fret over not getting to play a game like Deadly Premonition? It's one of the worst reviewed games of all time.To all of the "no used games isn't a problem" people: have you ever tried to buy a niche OOP title years after its release? Nine times out of ten the only feasible option is a used copy. Games like Deadly Premonition or Xenoblade would be denied the slow burn that led to their cult status. You either buy it at launch or you'reed (barring a digital download at full price, if it's even available).

Not really, it's 68 on Metacritic, with most critic reviews being positive. No it wasn't reviewed incredibly well, but it's one of the reasons I got a 360 (along with Alan Wake, Mass Effect, and a small handful of others). Just because a game doesn't get stellar reviews, or in this case reviews that are all over the board (a 20 from IGN and a perfect 100 from Destructoid) doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. I prefer a game that has a worthwhile story and, admittedly, a fare amount of quirk over the same run-and-gun experience I could have played 400 times over the last 2 generations. If I had a choice between another Deadly Premonition and the most polished military themed shooter ever to grace a console, I'd take DP every time.Why would anyone fret over not getting to play a game like Deadly Premonition?

I only drop $60 on games knowing I'm going to get a portion (and usually half) of it back either by Amazon Marketplace or trade-in. Take that away, as MS just has, and I'm out. I don't amass a huge game collection that sits on my shelf, so I am totally disinterested in the Xbox One, because it totally impacts me and what I spend on games every year. "Trusting" GS or one of the "participating retailers" to give me the same type of value...no thanks!
Let's just say that the majority doesn't know about the Xbone's DRM strategy. If you think the backlash is bad now, it's only going to get worse when the general public gets their hands on the system in November and discover how the new system works.
Yeah, the majority I know are moms buying systems for their kids. Most I know don't even have those systems hooked to the Internet (until they at least get to a certain age). They're going to buy the system and become frustrated and then angry when they find that "it isn't working".
The problem here is that you are focusing on just your internet. It goes beyond that. How often does Xbox Live go down? Sometimes, it's been down for weeks on end. Sony's hack was bad, but you could still play offline. Now imagine a hack group cut you off from playing games from a month, both single player and multiplayer. Your box is bricked, period. Doesn't matter if your connection is good.
Except you are looking at purely digital content as opposed to retail discs like the Xbox One. Yes it has digital content too, but that's not the entire problem. If you want to compare it to iPhones and iPods, it would be as if you purchased a cd, downloaded it to your device, and because you weren't connected to the internet once a day, you couldn't listen to it. That's not how it works and would be ridiculous to believe it would. Yet, that's how the X1 will work.
up as much as they did to lose me. 90% of all the MS horseshit doesn't affect me, it's just the principal of it all.
it's not constant connection just has to be every 24 hours to auth games nothing elseI've yet to hear someone explain the benefit of a constant connection, I keep reading its the future blah blah blah, but never what is the actual benefit.
I am a huge 360 guy, never thought MS would
http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/e3-xbox-one-pre-order While it may be #2 on Amazon, no one knows how many units that is. Early reports were 2.3% less then PS4.
Google fu fail.
ing l-o-l
I know that, but it keeps being brought up as some type of forward thinking, oh the benefits. Just nobody (that I've read) has said what those are.it's not constant connection just has to be every 24 hours to auth games nothing elseI've yet to hear someone explain the benefit of a constant connection, I keep reading its the future blah blah blah, but never what is the actual benefit.

Do you work for Microsoft or something? I am pretty sure all of the titles shown at MS conference have single player portions that can/will be played without an internet connection. The 24 hour check in is just an arbitrary DRM measure. I see no reason why it couldn't be done away with (say many years from now when the servers are shut down). The system is designed to be always on, but that doesn't mean all or even most of the games are (especially multiplats). Obviously many of the system features wouldn't work, but playing a game can.
in person x1 is not that big it's pretty small and kinect is smaller then first kinect. ps4 in person is about the size of ps3 but little more flat.
Here we go again.
to be honest for me i don't see any need to buy a x1 or ps4. i cna't remember the last time a system launch had most of the games for the new system coming out for last gen systems.Here is a list of games and the consoles they will be on.
na it's just that when you give a opinion on this website and it's any kind of support for a thing that people hate on they think you are a fanboy.
the only sites claiming the xbone is breaking pre order is sales is Blockbuster and a supermarket chain. yeah, im sure those 2 are gonna really put it over the edge. if i listed a site saying the ps4 was breaking pre order sales and it was from some no name chain or a chain that people are surprised even still exists, it would be met with the same reaction.
Trust Amazon, that's fine.. which also lists the Xbox One as the most wished for item. We'll see how the charts change now that you can actually preorder the Day One Edition again.
I linked to a Xbox article from Amazon, a Blockbuster article, and yes a supermarket that people actually buy games in over in the UK, and mentioned a Futureshop article that I coudnt find anymore.
ing blockbuster. they are irrelevant. you dolt.
