I have no doubt that MS has a bit of an uphill battle at this point, mostly due to the uproar over policies that were changed well over a month ago but just like the uproar over the PS3 and its outrageous price when it first came out, customer opinion isn't set in stone.As for the RAM, in my experience most people have no idea what the difference between DDR and GDDR is. The G in GDDR stands for graphics and up until now it has only been used in conjunction with graphics cards. GDDR is faster but it also has latency issues. This is not a problem for the GPU because it can work on many different things at once but the CPU works in a far more linear manner and GDDR is not ideal in that situation. The recent rumor that Sony is only providing 4.5 GB of ram for developers to use and keeping 3.5 GB of ram for the OS is also interesting as many expected the PS4 to have 7 GB available. No offense but if people (Americans) want their country to stop spying on them it is up to them to do something about it. Microsoft is required by law to release information to the government, laws like the patriot act that the American people supported. I can't really blame MS for a situation that the American people themselves created. Furthermore, I highly doubt that the Kinect is very high on the NSA's list of devices to use for spying, not when practically every house already has a laptop, tablet, or smart phone all with a built in mic and webcam. Another rumor claims that MS may have 2 to 3 times more Xbox One's available at launch than Sony's PS4. If that is true I think the Xbox One is going to find its way into a lot of homes this holiday season. That will have no small impact on consumer sentiment as people tend to support the system they actually own versus the one they may have originally planned to buy and if the PS4 is out of stock everywhere and the Xbox is readily available more than a few people are going to take the plunge. In the end none of this really matters though, at least not to me. I already have my Xbox One preordered and I know I will enjoy it for years to come. If the majority of gamers decide to get a PS4 instead it really has no baring on me personally. I had the original Xbox back when the PS2 had a much larger market share and I didn't regret that purchase one bit.</blockquote>
