First of all, I'm pretty sure the PS4 is offering more than just pure gaming.

Secondly, who says they only want something for just one thing.

NO, I ONLY WANT MY TV SO I CAN WATCH TV, I DON'T WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE DVDS ON IT, OR BROWSE THE LATEST FILMS FOR RENTAL. DAMN YOU TV WITH BUILT IN DIGITAL TV AND DISC DRIVE THING AND 3D HD IRLNESS.

I just don't get why people don't like new techonology? If you don't like certain parts, just don't use it :P

The point is, when something is being revealed you should be talking about its main primary feature. Its meant to be a Games console. so talk about the the games, the new features for gamers. Like Sony did. This is what Microsoft did
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw

We all know Sony will have other features on it and we will find that out down the line anything that is on the Ps3 for example i know will be on Ps4. Heres the first sort of trailer for Ps4 notice something?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O8LBndYkuV4

Its all Game related.

They mentioned they would be having partners at the reveal and spent 5mins at e3 talking about music and movies. But the majority want a games console for a games console and thats what the majority want at the moment.

Edit: as awful as the trailer is. Dude i don't got that man

Did anyone even bother to count the amount of times they said game(s)?

Maybe the PS4 is all about and, or the if we're basing it on word counts :P

I seriously just think people aren't being old fashioned, and they're just giving Microsoft stick for the sake of it.

'NO, I DON'T WANT MY MOBILE PHONE TO PLAY APPS OR SEND TEXTS OR BROWSE THE INTERNET. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL'

I don't think you can cover it as it detects how many people are playing (iirc).

Wouldn't that only be needed if you were playing a game with more than one person? Example: Spilt screen. Apparently you can turn it off anyway.

I just straight up don't want Kinect, simple as.

Is that because of the privacy issues that are surrounding it? Or what? You don't like switching between menus with your voice? :P

I can totally understand why it being mandatory can turn people off, other than the price though, I think that's the only bad thing about the XB1...

Can't really compare phone and xbox. adding stuff like the camera and clock, calculator and text messaging is all good. A box that lets you watch tv on it via another box isn't.

Ps3>Ps4 for example
- Cross Chat
- Download games via your phone
- remote play if you have a vita
- save clips of gameplay
- stream a playthrough
- Making people sign up for Ps+ for online which itself is a fantastic deal
- Play download games as they download
- system will take note of what you like and download games for you so if you decide to buy the game the download and install will be alot quicker
etc etc etc

All features being added that are beneficial to a Games Console.

Ps4 doesn't come with a camera and has slightly better tech than the One and is cheaper. I have seen a lot of people moan about that online. If kinect wasn't included they could have matched sonys price

Wait, so everything that the XB1 brings new is absolutely crap, and everything the PS4 brings isn't? :P

And, you're saying something that lets you watch TV via another box is crap.

So surely Xbox/PlayStation should get rid of their DVD/Blu-Ray functionality right, since we have players for that?

And phones should get rid of calculators and clocks, because we have those already, right?

It's because I don't want it, nothing to do with privacy issues. If I had a problem with privacy I wouldn't use the internet where all of my information is available freely to everybody. I don't want it because the original Kinect was a terrible, overpriced gimmick that added nothing to the gaming experience (for me, anyway) and Kinect 2 will be no different. "oh but it's new and improved" yeah that's what they tell you because at the end of the day they're not going to undersell ****?

Remember that Kinect video a few years back with the Fable kid? That'll never happen because Microsoft have *********** about the potential of Kinect since day one.
