XBox One

as long as my 360 is still running, and BF4 runs I don't see myself even considering anything new for a while

Microsoft denied rumors that they'll charge you for used/borrowed games, so that's not really a concern.

but what was their wording? I dont buy it

They posted on the Major Nelson blog about it saying that they will allow resale of used games and won't be blocking it. They haven't released details about it.

The name is fucking stupid too. 720 would have been way better.

They branded the console as XBox One for the reason that it's one source for TV, games, music...etc. That was they're reasoning behind that. They have no cohesive branding, never had it. To be honest I think the best route is to do what Sony is doing. Console 1, Console 2, Console 3...etc. It's just easier to keep track of. Microsoft has always sucked at this by naming things "Windows 2000" or "Office 2007"...as soon as 2008 comes around, your product just feels old based on name. At least they're getting it by naming Windows in numeral versions now.

I think both Xbox 360 and 720 are stupid. Because when you do a 360, guess where you end up? Right back in the same spot where you started. Same with a 720. From a naming perspective, they're dumb. They should've just stolen that kid's idea of XBox Infinity or whatever.

Yeah PS4 it is for me. They both seemingly have the same amount of horsepower given the 8Gb RAM, but Sonys gonna have all the exclusive games while Xbox focuses on taking over the living room.

The Xbox One has 5Gb of RAM for gaming and 3 for the OS and other "features"

Damn nevermind that then. PS4's RAM is all unified. Granted they'll have to set aside some of that for the OS & share features, but it's still easier to work with. That was what made shit harder for developers on the ps3 cell processor. Overall it had a little bit more ram but the way it was allocated made it more diffcult to work with than the 360's with certain games ala skyrim & other multiplat games that didnt perform as well on ps3.

The fact I can't use anything wired from my 360 is a huge dealbreaker for me. Not only that, but games being tied down to your account is pretty bullshit (if it ends up being true). I can't see why anyone would choose to get this over a PS4, or a PC for that matter.

And is Call of Duty really THAT big of a game, that they have a whole story on it? As much hype and new technology they're pushing for it, we all know it's going to be the same game we've been seeing for the past 8 years. If you guys are really this excited about COD, you should expand your FPS horizons.

In my opinion COD is boring as all hell. I have never seen the appeal and I get the feeling even fans are becoming tired of it. Halo is pretty dull too...
