It's because it's a female bust. Put a male torso on there and no-one would care.

I have an Xbox 360 this generation, there should be no (logical) reason that Microsoft shouldn't get my money in the next generation. But here they are throwing thousands if not millions of gamers out the window for the sake of distrusting them.
"Oh if you bought our game legally then we'd give you full access to online multiplayer, in-game items, content, all you have to do redeem that code".
Not everyone in the world has a good Internet connection or an Internet at all! So what're they gonna do. This whole online pass/DLC stuff is bollocks.
I would easily put the Xbox 360 as the best console of this generation(in my opinion(and I do have a Wii/PS3 and like 'em both)) but if this "always online" is true then I don't plan on buying the next console and it seems nor do many other Xbox 360 owners.
Yeah. I gotta say that Microsoft did it very good this generation, but as far as we know, Sony is going to beat them in this next-gen.
More for Microsoft's (shitty) behaviour, than for the PS4 itself.
That's one thing I like about Nintendo. They just make games rather than trying to con the fanbase and label than as criminals until they prove they aren't. Even though I may sound like a hipster, I honestly dread all the crap that comes with Xbox/PS3 games. I never thought that an awesome "1 up" on Nintendo being that DLC could improve the lifespan and add additional content would suddenly become a part of gaming I would soon hate.
Even the PS4 doesn't interest me and they also force online passes on games like Uncharted 3 and Twisted Metal(so I didn't buy them) but Nintendo WiiU doesn't bother with them so I'm already more interested in buying that system. Oh well, we'll see next month(if they confirm it then).
