The big problem i have with Xbox One is what happens when its 15 years down the road and you want to take out your xbox one and play your old system?
Right now i can still play my nintendo, turbograpix, Xbox, ps2 ect...... and in 15 years i can take them out of a box again and do the same.
With Xbox One will i be able, once microsoft decides to turn off the servers in the future to still play my games?
If the answer to any of these I will not be buying a Xbox One. I have over 100 Xbox 360 games and close to a 100 1st Xbox games. I do own a ps3 but only have 4 games. This is the main reason i will not be buying a Xbox One. I have a great internet service and im online all the time so that part does not bother me its just what happens to my system in the future is my main worry.
I have a 3 year old and when he is older i would love to take out my old systems and show him what games use to be like.

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
I agree that is my problem and that is why I cant see buying a Xbox One this generation.
You're part of the problem.
This is a valid concern, with the console being 100% online, it means it has a finite lifespan, it means when the company no longer feels like spending money to maintain the console the console and all of its games are officially dead.
2 weeks ago i dusted off my nintendo 64 and played mario party with a friend, it sounds like 10 years down the road when XBOX two comes out or whatever asinine name they have in mind for it, i wont have that option.
Microsoft has officailly made the windows me of gaming consoles, it will last a few years then something new will come out and we will all pretend it never happened.

Seriously. Now there is a huge pushback. Same as when the audiophiles pushed back against the digital age. Heh.

Good ol' Steam.... I love it when I play a game for 5 or 6 hours and it messes up and totally fails everything I've saved..
Microsoft thinks this is a good idea.. What they have essentially is their own version of steam on their new X-Box One..
I hate to say it but i am leaning on the ps4 side this gen.
That is why i have all my systems since the nindendo. I love going back and playing the old systems for a weekend. I cant wait to do that with my kids with the new gen console (ps4)too.
Dust 514 and EvE get sold to the Chiniese seems simple to me !

You mothball the system and all its games, then go out and buy the next version XBONEX2 and all new games for it.

Since when was enjoying something for a few years equal to 15 years?
No one can say, but I imagine you could still connect and use the Xbox1, even if they have 1-2 new systems in 15 years.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Microsoft said so bc you got to be online 24/7. he was just guessing on how many years. it can 8 yrs or 5 yrs or 10 yrs how ever many yrs it will be around
