    I just cant see how these rumours could be true. A console requiring an internet connection just to function even for offline stuff... a console that has a 3D camera that cannot be turned off or just not included... a console that doesn't let us play our old games even if they're downloaded or on cloud storage?

    If any of those turn out to be true it would be such bad business on Microsoft's part, I just cant believe they would be that stupid.
    I wouldn't be surprised if MS started those rumours themselves, or purposefully allowed them to circulate... just so they could come out on May 21 and make a big deal out of letting everyone know they're not true - turning what should have just been automatically assumed by everyone, into big positive points that will help sell their console.

    This. I, for one, am one of those who will definitely buy the next-box over the PS4 if these rumors turn out false, and microsoft makes smart business choices, creating a worthy competitor to Sony. I really like my xbox 360, and I want to get the next console microsoft makes, but if they are absolute morons and pull through with all of this kinect and always online idiocy, I will definitely jump over to the playstation side of things.

    These are my thoughts exactly. I've loved the Xbox 360 (even with the RRoD issues) but am prepared to go to PS4 if all the negative rumors turn out to be true.

    I've said all along that I wont be prejudging anything. Until everything is 100% confirmed or denied, I DONT BELIVE IT! lol

    That said, always online, always-on camera and no backwards compatibility would be off-putting.

    Although the backwards compatibility may actually be true due to the nature of something or other and the way it does something via a morethrob that accentuates this or that. I forget, but its due to something programming and the two (old and new) not understanding each other. Or some such technical stuff. :S
