Xbox One you sign in to; stable, dedicated servers for every multiplayer game rather than the notoriously fragile practice of hosting matches on one participant’s console; even multiplayer matches that can grow to 64, even 128 participants, rather than the usual limit of 16 or 32.

Putting those 300,000 servers to some good use.

Wired was the place that spread the BS about used games so don't trust anything they say.

And yet other places are still confirming it.

Dedicated servers just means servers that shut down after 12-24 months to force you into buying the latest version as well.

The only reason the servers shut down is because developers do a gooseberry fool job of designing online modes, so people are so confused and don't play.

There is no reason why every game can't have the player numbers that Halo and COD do. They just get the matchmaking right.

Actually yes there is: everyone is playing Halo and CoD and not playing your game. (That's also why their matchmaking seems the best, since population size is a large factor of how well matchmaking systems work)

Rik...I don't really want to be the one to say this right now but Sony did this without an online fee and up to 256 players...this generation.

For how many games? Most MP games on both consoles have been P2P.

Finally, spending over £200 to play with friends online over the past seven years totally seems worth it.

Dedicated servers is actually a good thing people...

P2p is an archaic and terrible way to play competitive multiplayer games.

Unfortunately, dedicated servers for watching tv and organising your fantasy football league team? Not so much.

I didn't say every game, nor does your post. I just said Sony had already undertaken this without a subscription and with more players.

Not many. Warhawk began the trend but I really got involved with MAG. There are others but MAG was my mainstay with massive player counts on dedicated servers.
