It appears that alot of the people complaining are either PS3 fanboys who are having fun with the "Xbox is doomed" headlines or people who have no grasp on the cost of games.

The head of development at Visceral, creators of Dead Space, said at a conference that more people bought a pre-owned version of Dead Space 1/2 rather than a new copy.

That might not sound bad, but to a development company like Visceral, they get no money from pre-owned games, so it's not Microsoft who are getting all this extra money from not really allowing used games, it's the developers and creators. So guys at Gamespot, Game, Supermarkets etc have all this essentially ill-earned money from buying a copy of "The Last Of Us" from Little Johnny for £12, then selling it to let's say, Frank (Why not?) for £40, making £28 from a game which they had nothing to do with.

People are always very quick to complain when a game doesn't get released and a company goes defunkt, or the creator sells out to a sh*tty company like Activison, cause they don't have much money so they can't make their game and the game is released under Activison's rules and it's terrible.

I have no problem with the developers getting more money from me purchasing a new game.

I don't earn a lot of money, I will buy a Xbox One and eventually down the line I will get a PS4, but I will get a Xbox One first, just down to the fact the games announced are incredible (Dead Rising 3, sunset overdrive, MGSV, Project Spark etc) and Ive had their online service since I had my 360, which I think is loads better then psn. And now we get two free games a month, and psn users are gonna be required to pay to play online now, so really that whole psn is better then xbox nonsense is over now.

Fair enough it's $499, you get Killer Instinct included F2P with micro-transactions (it's still a free game, if you complain then remember when BLOPS 2 had micro-transactions and there were little complaints... Or the fact Uncharted 3 has a paywall up the ASS with DLC and other stuff, don't be biased, cause it's Microsoft, it's still a free game) you get Project Spark included and 2 games a month on Gold. So we can't complain, if the Xbox One starts electrocuting me and firing nails at me, then yes I will complain, up until that point, we're fine.

So, we shouldn't be complaining right now, if you want the Xbox One, buy it. If not, deal with it, buy another console. There is nothing so wrong with the Xbox One for this much outcry to happen.

If you're not happy with the price, wait, it may go down.. As shown when the PS3 originally released for $499/$599, it came down in price, but was still a great console, so it was still bought by people on DAY 1 mainly cause it had a BLU-RAY player!

Sony's Jack Trenton just said in an interview that "Sony Games are free to buy, trade. lend and do what you want with. IF HOWEVER 3rd party developers want to impose some sort of protections, that's their choice." And Microsoft's policy is the exact opposite. They say "Microsoft Game Studios Games are free to buy, trade, lend and do what you want with. IF HOWEVER 3rd party developers want to impose some sort of protections, that's their choice and our machine can do that for them"... and it's the end of the universe. So I'm guessing it's in the wording somewhere that this is the end of the world for us gamers? Because- if the people that MAKE the games want to have some sort of protection as to how many free loaders or second hand retailers get to make more profit on their games than they do... that's wrong to give them a tool to do that. Riiiight. Okay. I think I see it now! It's because the 'knee jerk' journalism that hasn't done ANY research at all on the subject is the ONLY sources we should be reading up on! I got it now! OH- AND we should clearly state that NOBODY is going to or ever has bought a game digitally and that those games have the exact same restrictions and always have. But that's different because... that's been happening for years now and THIS is totally new.

I think the whole single trade-in element should be timed (first 6 months) if only to discourage a quick turn-around, but the argument isn't Microsoft piggy bank vs. the world, it's developers trying to survive vs. gamers-who-apparently-never-pirate-and-also-lend-games-out-all-of-the-time-and-trade-in-games-to-buy-new-games.

Oh lets not forget about INDIE games that sony is praising that you NEED a internet connection to even get in the first place. So yeah that whole always online thing with people need to stop, esp when most people have internet at home or can access it from their smart phones via direct connection.

And really if your that afraid of having a Kinect just turn the thing around, it responds to sound, not movement.

Final thought:

You want the Xbox One & all the great games coming soon, buy it.. You want to complain and say "You're changing to Sony, cause Microsoft are just after my money la la la..." change to Sony, you're either a Sony fanboy (which I have no problem with, I prefer Microsoft), you like the new games which Sony announced (by the way Kingdom Hearts 3, Elder Scrolls Online and Final Fantasy is coming to Xbox One aswell), or you really like complaining and you're going to be one of those people who complained when Call of duty BO2 came out and you will end up playing the game day 1.
