Xbox One: External Storage Not Supported at Launch

Already pre-ordered PS4, only reason I would get a XB1 is because of Dead Rising 3. But that can wait.

I work in electronic sales. I see the numbers. Dont be surprised if this is a huge letdown for Sony. The Ps3 has a better Processor and the games are on Blue Ray discs. Yet, the system doesn't utilize either. Sonys hurting right now. The Vita was a failure in the U.S. I own both systems. The only reason I game on my X box more is because I pay for X box live, but I also like X box lives features more too. My Ps3 only gets used as a Blue Ray player now. So the X box One will have a Blue Ray player in it too, and to play Ps4 multiplayer you will HAVE to pay a subscription. The X box One comes with the new Kinect, The Ps4 doesn't come with the new Move. So there's the reason for the hundred dollar price difference. Yes the Ps4 will have better RAM, but it most likely won't get utilized like before, because most games will be cross platform. If your a huge fan of Uncharted, Killzone, God of War, or Resistance go for it. Not telling you not too, I'm justtired of hearing people every single day say that one systems going to beat the other one. They both have pros and cons. This article informs us on a new con for the X box One. Thank you for that. I'm simply stating a fact, Sony is taking a huge risk with this system. I myself am going to get the X box One and play the shit out of Halo 5!

Wait for the Note 3. That thing will be a beast. Unless Apple does something awesome.

Yes I do. The numbers have dropped on the Ps3 considerably. And the Vita HAS performed poorly. Your probably one of tn ose people that believes everything your force fed. Like when the Sony Ps3 took out the reverse compatability feature, and Sony said it was so they could drop the price on the system for the customers. Yeah that wasn't the entire truth. People continued to buy the Ps2 versions of the games instead of the Ps3 versions. Their sales were bad, so they came up with the drop the price for the customer story to force people to buy the Ps3 versions. And it worked. Its called business. And I'm not a blind Microsoft fanboy. Told you I own both systems. Apparently you only read a small part of what I wrote. So next time pay closer attention before you say something you THINK is going to sound smart.

Mic drop.......

@WYLEEJAY sorry, I have to disagree with you. I own both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 (and an Xbox 1 and PS2), I have no real allegiance to either, I just like to play games. That said.... having a Kinect is not a bonus in my opinion. I have one for the 360, used it a few times for the bowling games and Halo anniversary edition, but now its gathering dust and not been used as there is bugger all games that I would play that utilise it in a way that it would actually benefit me in playing a game. So the Xboner lost points for me there as I can not see them doing anything worth while with it. And I am sure I can press a button quicker than I can say "grenade" like in Halo Anniversary edition.
Also, you pointed out with the PS4 you will need to pay to play online.... you have always had to pay for the 360. At least with the Playstation Plus you get a selection of pretty decent games to download each month (which xbox has now copied I may add...)
And with regards to the RAM on the PS4, the new console (Xboner as well I may add) is built like a PC to allow easier ports of PC games and so the developers can create the games easier. The PS3 was notorious for being a very difficult console to code for, hence why some features were never taken advantage of.
Each time a new generation of console comes out, the games get a lot bigger, so 500gb I think is a bit on the low side and the choice to upgrade would be nice (even if it does mean buying a new hdd in some contraption to make Microsoft more money) but if the PS4 goes the same way, I'll be as equally disappointed.
Anyways, I'll be getting both as they both have games I will want to play the hell out of! Both consoles will be hits in their own way, cant see either of them doing a Nintendo on our asses!
One last thing WYLEEJAY... I agree with your recommendation of the Note 3.... it will boss the hell out of Iphone (again!) I only have the Note 1 at the mo, I'll be getting 3 once my contract ends mid next year.

"If you have zero interest in it, that's your opinion, not a fact". I don't think that sentence came out the way I meant it. Your opinion is fact to you. What I mean is your opinion isn't fact to others. That make more sense? Same with my opinion. That you don't like the Kinect shouldn't categorize it as a bad system. The lack of useful games for the Kinect may, but we will have to wait and see what they do with the new one.

Lol, no probs, I dont mind being a minor douchbag...
I got the Kinect for my missus as she likes bowling but doesn't like going out (go figure!!) but even she hardly uses it. It baffles me that they are forcing it on people and charging them more because of it. They could sell so many more Xboners if they sold the Kinect separately, and made it cheaper for those that do not want it, that's my main gripe with the Xboner to be honest. They haven't released anything worthwhile with the current one so am not very confident that they will on the new one. I will happily be surprised if they do though. It does, however, have better exclusive launch titles than the PS4.
I am more likely to get a PS4 first as its cheaper, and wait for the Xboner to go down in price (or for Microsoft to go back on another thing and release just the console...)
From what I have read, both systems are pretty much built the same way, so it'll be the games that will be the decider I reckon. The Xboner will have a massive surge should they release that projector for it - http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/illumiroom/

Durranto has managed to point out some the basics and features of the consoles so I hope it's helpful Wylee. Oh and I like to add, PS4 will also include a collection of free to play titles, which also have high acclaim on the PC; and as these titles are all online based, it's actually upto the devs of these titles to allow people to have access to the multiplayer, without needing a PS Plus membership. Games like the massive Planetside 2, won't need PS Plus alongside others. You should also read about the Xbox One's new indie program where they have revised some of their policy and it supports free to play games also.

@Lhornbk. Thank you kindly sir.

@Killuminatic. I pointed out two flaws to microsofts pre plans to release. And none for the Ps4. So....uh.....are you okay? I mean....I'm sorry for embarrassing you earlier....do you need someone to talk to? I'm generally a friendly guy. If not, well just keep trying man, a woman is bound to say yes sooner or later.

@Wylee, You did not offend me, nor did I intend to offend you if you've felt that way. If you read the last parts of my comment, I actually tried NOT to sound like an asshole dude, cause at the end of the day we're all gamers. I'm far from a Sony fanboy as a matter of fact, I just thought that the risks you state of were pretty much ridiculous looking at the state both consoles are in, so I fully take that comment back about you being "dumb". Clearing the fog, I will honestly say that the tired grumpy mood I was in at the time of the comments vented my perception of your opinions on the matter, so yes, I should've acted more like Durranto and elaborated on some of the things you may have been wrong about. So my apologies to all of you, and Wylee, I did try and clear it all out and be helpful with some additional info on my last comment.

Awesome! That's just awesome man. And I apologize for my sense of humor. My wife doesn't even bother arguing with me cause it usually ends with her just waving her fist at me and mumbling something that I'm pretty sure isn't English. Tis cool brah.

@Gunslinger. K. We kind of already talked about the things that are better on the Ps4. So, the Ps3 was more powerful than the 360. Like stated before, the Ps3 didn't UTILIZE that power. Therefore it was a waste. I'm hoping the Ps4 does what their saying it will this time. That would make it a lot easier to sell the units. The games are all objective. If you like Halo like me, that doesn't make the Ps4 a bad system. If you like Uncharted that doesn't make the x box a bad system. If you have no interest in the Kinect, then save your money, cause that's the real reason the x box is weaker, yet still more expensive. I like the Kinect, Halo, and Gears the most. Killzone was the only Ps3 title I played the shit out of. I'm not gonna say the Ps3 is shit because of that.

The fact is sales are lacking on the Ps3. At one point they were higher than the x box. Now there not. So presales doesn't justify anything. The system HAS to keep those numbers up. Sony pictures was hurting so bad they were considering selling off some of their movie franchises. Their in a better place now. But their other merchandise is also declining in sales. Tv's reviews are not as good as they used to be, the Sony Walkman brand is harder to find. When they used to be in every store. Thank you for that I pod. Less for me to sell. Lower numbers now. Sony NEEDS this system to kick ass.
