can someone summarize this thread for me? i dont feel like reading 30+ pages of copped pleas.
Last week: Thread gets made saying Analyst predict kinect will be unbundled from stugglebox. Xbots revolt calling BS, Lies what not.
This week: Microsoft officially unbundles the kinect making xbots look stupid for throwing a fit last week.
Today: Xbots try to counter this huge L by making a thread about Sony loosing money in other divisions, trying to deflect the attention away from the huge success of the PS4.

Which one of y'all started posting on neogaf 
I think you mean wifi. Launch PS3 did not come with Wifi. 360 and PS3 both came with network adapters (Ethernet).
PlayStation 3 models - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
360's Play and Charge kit was $19.99. I pesonally like changable batteries for instant swap wireless power, rather than having to plug in until it's charged again, in order to be wireles again.
Difference is about the same as the difference on X1/PS4. We're talking about 1/3 more power in GPU on PS4, and publishers will go to lowest common denominator in order to go multiplatform. I've read many articles with publishers stating it would be stupid to make one version a lot better looking than another because it would eat into their own sales. So, it's not going to make much of a difference, except maybe for 1st part titles - but even then it's going to be how good the programmers are. Look at 1st gen 360 games (Kameo) vs. final gen (Halo 4).

+ The Arcadium has been saying this for months, M$ won't succeed unless they give gamers options.

This!!! shyt just be a little patient, you get the console for a cheaper price and won't have to wait to play all the great games.Buying any console the first year
I thought people would learn from much the prices dropped after one year the past 2 gens
"Gamers" don't care about 99% of the successful shyt in the industry.
"Strictly for casuals" is where commercial success is found
Microsoft got rid of the bundle because they just wanted to give gamers a choice right?
Give me a break already and stop the spinning. The Kinect is a fukking unnecessary accessory to play most games the core audience cares about and they wanted to force that shyt in a $500 bundle in which the hardcore are going to be the crowd to purchase it at the very beginning. At the very least ADMIT that they were wrong.
The only casual console to win with this kind of strategy was the Nintendo Wii...and we are all witnessing the long term effect of turning on your core audience does. I know you are playing devils advocate as usual because this is Microsoft, but don't play dumb. You know what happened here
They said they got rid of it cause price was the number one complaint. Which it was all the way back to the initial reveal.
Not spinning anything. Just commenting on your assertion that its only for "casual gamers" as if that's a bad thing.
Things that "gamers" consider "casual" usually make a lot of money.
Gamers have been trashing COD for years now, and guess what, it makes a shytload of money.
People such as yourself have been bashing the kinect since its inception, but guess what, it's made Microsoft a shyt ton of money and is more successful than any other optional peripheral has been, or probably will be in the future.
what are you basing this on? why unbundle it if it made them a ton of money? Mad confusing
yesterday, you didn't care about how much money these companies made, because you're not a stock holder. remember?
Talking about the original kinect.
And they unbundled it cause the original kinect owners(casuals) aren't ready to upgrade yet, especially for $500
I'm talking about the commercial success/failure of a product. Obviously you have to talk about how much it sold.yesterday, you didn't care about how much money these companies made, because you're not a stock holder. remember?
