Something Weird I've Noticed Since the Xbone Reveal

[Zipa]

Though it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft slumped so low I highly doubt they have. I saw people (that I know) posting similar things on social media after the launch announcement, they are whats referred to as the ''target demographic''

Not much I can really add because I haven't seen what you've been seeing, but...
"...I just don't see the appeal to that thing other than what game it will probably have as exclusives..."

This. This right here. I am not wasting my money on a junk console running a watered down Windows 8 with a few new Call of Duty games. I am more content with my Xbox360.

Also, it has an ugly design and you HAVE to have a Kinect to play it. How terrible.

Amen to that, I remember that when I chose the X360 over PS3 it was because (at the time) it had been revealed that Bioshock was going to be a MS exclusive, as well as Gears of War and Mass Effect. Gears, in my opinion has finished its saga, the latest game didn't pique my interest at all... Eventually I DID buy a PS3, but that was because it had Blu-Ray and I'd rather buy that than solely a Blu-Ray system (the price was more or less the same here - Brazil) plus it had MGS4 and Uncharted, to this day I have only a handful of PS3 games and TONS of X360, PS3 never bred any exclusives that caught my attention (other than the aforementioned).
This time, the coin seems to have flipped, if only for a few games, again MGS (though it might be available for MS, the main MGS titles are usually exclusives...) and my all-time favorite Witcher, it seems that as far as consoles go, Witcher 3 is being ported only for PS4; other than that, for some reason I can't really tell, Sony seemed to be more convincing with their new console than Xbox The game I wasn't the most will be available for both though: Watch Dogs.
That is not to say that, along the way, I might not buy a Xbox One, I'll surely do so if the right games or features present themselves. So far I want Santa Claus to give me a PS4 and a Google Glass hahahahaha

Heheh. I actually chose the PS3 over the Xbox when it came down to it. Both cost relatively the same in Sweden.
All and all, I own a 360, but I prefer the ps3 as this generation's console master. I'm sure the PS4 will take the cake, too.

You know, the best way for us PC aristocrats to stay in charge is to incite conflicts among rival peasant populations. Hehehe...

I've noticed something else, I've noticed an increase in people asking for help to build gaming PCs.

I might just be making connections where there are none to be made, anyone else noticed it or am I just crazy?

I've noticed that as well. There's not very many of them, but I've never noticed a single one before now, so they might be increasing.

As long as they're not trolling, or insulting other users, then I'll just ignore them. If they are trolling or flaming then I'll report them. Business as usual basically.

That could actually be legit, though. If people are seriously disappointed in both the Xbone and the PS4, a proper gaming PC is probably their best alternative if they don't want to support those consoles but still want to play the latest games, so it makes sense.

The first paragraph was replying to Ickorus, the second one was replying to the OP. It's my fault, should have made it more obvious, sorry about that. The PC building threads seem to be legit.
