I own a console solely to play FIFA. I'm currently debating between the XBox One and PS4. Was bummed that initial FIFA14 previews only showed 360 and PS3 gameplay, but I've renewed hope that E3 will have some new info.
EDIT: Welp, after that post above by Lonestar, looks like I'll be converting to PS4 from the 360.
lololololol

The entire premise of this article is that Microsoft will "win" because Xbox players are too stupidly loyal to change consoles, and that they are willing to put up with anything in order to buy an Xbox.
PS4, now in a trapezoid shape
It could look like a pig cock and it would still outsell the Xbox One.
As far as I know, all the benefits of the membership cards were buried with Steve Jobs.
Where was the thread about the Apple presser earlier yesterday? Hmm? It seems that your allegiance may be waning.
I'm glad that there's someplace for irrational people to congregate safely. I was worried they were all wandering around in traffic.
Video games begin and end with Golden Eye.
Meh.
Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.
Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.
You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.
So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
- An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
- Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.
Everyone please kindly ignore the last two pages of this thread, it is now moot.
I keep waiting to see Sony fuck up somewhere too. They have played this too well so far.
A snippet of code in the Steam digital distribution platform has revealed that Valve may be planning to let users easily share their games with friends in the future. The Verge has verified the code's authenticity, which was originally spotted by a member of the NeoGAF gaming forum; the code references a "shared game library" and a notification that would alert a user when their games are currently in use by a borrower. Steam users can, of course, already share their games by lending friends their usernames and passwords, but that's not the most efficient or secure method of sharing.
A shared game feature would be a huge addition to the Steam platform, and a highly attractive feature in light of Sony and Microsoft's battle over sharing and used game policies for their next-generation consoles. Sony has seized recent confusion over the Xbox One's restrictive policies to insist that it will not impose restrictions on used games, but sharing games on either console will still generally require users to swap discs (unlike Sony, Microsoft will let Xbox One users create a shared game library for up to 10 family members).
While Steam is primarily used on traditional PCs, Valve has been pushing to create a console-like PC running Steam called the Steam Box, which could compete with traditional consoles in the living room. PC gamers can already create their own Steam Boxes since the release of Steam's Big Picture Mode, but Valve plans to bring its own hardware to the living room in the future.
The worst part of this is that, you may think that there's a long time before launch, but this news just sent about 150 software engineers in Redmond into 3 months of super panic overtime trying to recode an entire console before launch. Watch for release bugs!
This is going to slow down MS' bleeding, but Sony still came out like the white knight in a lot of people's minds. All for promising business as usual in reaction to MS' former policies. With the price difference being what it is, I wouldn't at all be surprised if the momentum continues towards Sony having the stronger launch.
It was the plan. Timed trials for any game in your library. Maybe not the best laid plan, but that was all they planned to offer.
Right, but this was being touted as a system seller/the carrot for all the other bullshit. It's not.
Being able to let a "friend" download a game demo (how long does it take to download? 1/2 an hour? An hour?), after which they play it for 15-45 min and then are taken to the Xbox Live store and prodded to purchase it? Garbage.
Being bumped out of the game and having to log in again would not have been a good experience.
Besides there is no way they would have let anyone actually finish a game this way.
If I wanted to be on a clothing forum, I'd be on SF. You promised me a sportsbook!
