PR issues with incoming Microsoft console, or we're just not rich/urban enough for it

At this rate it seems Nintendo might do best after all. Wii U isn't a huge step forward but its not a step backwards.

For the record I dont think this guys position actually allows him to make choices like that. But I dont know microsofts hierarchy. They do need to keep a tighter leash on these guys though.

I'm sure someday this kind of thing will be welcomed but we are still atleast a good decade from Ubiquitous internet. And note when we do have ubiquitous internet it will be low bandwidth wi-fi so things like constantly keeping updated on social media is possible. In the foreseeable future the bandwidth for gaming will never become ubiquitous

I'd say PC is the best choice, but hey that's just me.

Microsoft, Sony, they're both so huge that they can afford to release terrible consoles and still keep doing it for a while. They are the real world implementation of Shit Ass Pet Fuckers. That's the saddest part about this. A big shitstorm happens about always-online, and they'll just make their console always-online anyway and have better PR about it (but in backrooms just be like deal with it, nerds). And we probably will, and if not, they're still Shit Ass Pet Fuckers, with a loyal army of defenders with warped empathy that can't envision another human being having a different life circumstance than their steady, 50Mbps connection that hasn't gone down in 9 years or penchant for BLOPS II online.
