1. I'll repeat that I think that is a dumb hypothetical. What would you do if you opened up your wallet and found a microphone stitched into it in such a way that if you removed it, your wallet fell apart and stopped working? You'd buy a different fucking wallet wouldn't you. If the PS4 has a camera and a microphone secretly built into it, I'd be just as outraged. I'm not trying to just bash the Xbox and praise Sony here. But it's dumb to use a question like "what if the other was just like it?" when there's no reason to think it is so far.


2. Requires a peripheral in order to work. A dumb gimmicky peripheral at that, that didn't catch on last generation and isn't going to catch on this generation at the rate they're going. Requires an internet connection once per 24 hours or will not work. Checks for an internet connection once every hour if you're on a different console. Was discovered today that part of their patent was for the camera, stating the kinect won't work if the face of the person playing is not visible when it checks. If this feature is included, there goes the idea of taping over the camera that some people had. Their anti-used games crusade is basically geared toward keeping people from playing games unless they buy them brand new.


There's basically a slew of features that will PREVENT people from playing games. These are not consumer friendly features. These are corporate-friendly features. If the challenge is "Which console is better for playing games on?" then PS4 wins hands down based on the current evidence. You mean I can just plug the fucking thing in and play? Deal.
