Apple has massive profit margins on what they sell, so they get the best of both worlds: profit on the device, plus locking the buyer into their ecosystem. Microsoft and Amazon do it a bit differently.
Obviously Microsoft wants an Xbox in every home, but $299 still seems low to me. |

The reason that this is absolutely idiotic, is because the Hackers are still going to find a way to steal their media. They will never be stopped. All this is going to do is **** up some of the best parts of gaming, and force some nerds to miss a few nights sleep.

I just had my DVD Rom in my xbox 360 go out yesterday. Refuses to read any disc. This is my second 360 that needs an out of warranty repair. This along with a PS3 that died on me(Thank god for American Express), I am not even going to think about buying the next gen consoles unless they have a 2 year warranty.
Give it all the bells and whistles you want, I have no faith that a console from Sony and especially Microsoft will last the full life cycle like my XBOX, PS2, PS, N64, SNES and NES did. They just dont build them like they used to.

I had my XBOX 360 repaired once every 3-6 months for three years before I finally got rid of it and have since had two PS3's.
My Nintendo and Super Nintendo STILL work. My PS2 kinda works but it occasionally has hiccups reading discs.

yeah by the end of it my PS2 was struggling reading discs but it was a launch console. I finally bought the hard drive ripper for it just so I could play games without Disc read errors. I turned my original xbox into a media center that worked amazing for years. I finally upgraded to a modded Apple TV and HTPC when I wanted to watch high def content.
All of my PS, Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, and SNES are in boxes in my closet, but still work. I need to build a MAME so i can play all those old games again. FWIW, my fiance's Wii still works, but it is hardly used. Even then, I wouldnt buy the Wii U because that looks DERPtacular.

Sony’s radical PlayStation 4 controller concept: A motion-control device you can split in half
While Nintendo (NTDOY) has been busy innovating with unique controllers on the Wii and Wii U, Sony’s (SNE) DualShock controller for its PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 has remained virtually the same since 1997. A newly discovered patent reveals Sony might be planning on a radical overhaul of the DualShock for the PlayStation 4 that’s rumored to arrive next year. U.S. patent 20120302347A1 details a “hybrid separable motion controller” that resembles a DualShock controller with two PlayStation Move sensor balls attached to it. Much like how the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller combo separated the left and right hand input, the Sony controller patent goes one step further by allowing the two halves to be split and combined at any time – all without reducing the amount of buttons available. The patent also highlights the inclusion of a “connection sensor for determining whether the controller is in a connected configuration or a disconnected configuration.” One of the PlayStation Move’s biggest disadvantages is that it’s a separate controller and not the default one. As a result, most developers either saw it as merely a Wii Remote clone or as a niche controller with a limited install base not worth programming special controls for. If Sony were to include proper 1:1 motion controls within the default PS4 controller without turning its back on the “core” controller, it could greatly appeal to casual and core gamers. Such a controller can be considered a natural evolution of the current DualShock 3 controller that sports limited motion controls using its three-axis accelerometer and gyroscope. Of course, the controller is only a patent that may never make it to market, so don’t get your hopes up if it doesn’t happen. http://news.yahoo.com/sony-radical-p...151003000.html |

I'm going with Durango, or Xbox 8 or whatever the **** it's going to be called. It's going to have a controller with MS Surface, built in Kinect 2.0 and 0 weird ass Japanese games.
