Xbox One

Am I the only one concerned with the lack of start and select buttons on both the PS4 AND New Xbox controllers?

Oh thank goodness. I thought i was the only one that noticed that too.
I hope they don't expect the home button to count as a pause button.

I'm sure both controllers have a button that effectively acts as a start button. It just doesn't make sense to call it a start button anymore since it's used for pausing a game. Same with the select/back button, although that button was never useful to begin with.

Well, i aint buyin' this.
PS4 it is.

Aside from that...

I foresee either them standing their ground completely and the hardcore gaming community completely abandoning the console (I don't think this system will be tournament friendly, who wants to try and connect 15 consoles to a hotel wi-fi connection?) or M$ backpeddaling and taking back things they've said. Either way, I don't think we'll get any clarification on most of these issues until closer to launch. They're going to try to take gamers' attention away by showing actual games at E3. Which is great, but won't help if the console itself has these huge flaws.

What about the developers?

[jkid101094]

Apparently the devs get fucked. Looks like someone won't have games from third party devs...*shot*

Also apparently after this announcement Wii U sales shot up by almost 400%.

Why can't they just give us these answers. Being vague and giving different people different responses is not helping things. Different respectable news sites all have different information. And then they complain about misinformation being out there. THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY CONFUSION IF THEY JUST TOLD US THE ANSWERS.

Microsoft pushed back their conference for an entire month, why didn't they address these issues then?

Have you guys gone up to a person defending the Xbone and asked them to give you ONE reason to buy it over a gaming PC?
It's quite the adventure...
