Did you guys hear that sony's shares surged by 8% after the xbox event? Even Nintendo rose by 2%. Microsoft lost only .3-.5%
I just thought this was funny. |

It's a little sad that the Xbox One made such terrible first impressions that it gave Sony and Nintendo a boost.
Microsoft, just in case you're listening, help out the gaming industry and keep on doing what you're doing. |

I had expected a meh piece of tech and was somewhat underwhelmed. On the other hand i'm somewhat skeptical of this next console generation. |

Microsoft, just in case you're listening, help out the gaming industry and keep on doing what you're doing. I don't think Microsoft is all that interested in supporting the gaming industry right now. They seem hellbent on getting a foot on markets they lost for good years ago.
I'm actually hoping that the linux hype miraculously takes off this time because gaming is the only thing they still have an iron grip upon due to directx. They don't deserve this position anymore.

Some of the stuff I've been seeing for the new PS4 looks pretty impressive. Knack, a new action game they're launching with the system, looks like it might be interesting and it shows off some of the rendering capabilities of the new system.
Of course, Sony has an edge just because they actually talked about the gaming part of their console, which is what the majority of console owners are most interested in. |

Ps4 has Blu-ray and DVD. More helpful than you think though. |

The next gens all look terrible. Every generation has marked a new advancement in consoles. From 8 bit to 16, from cartridge to disk, from DVD to Blu-ray and wireless controllers.
But, there will be stabbings at Wal-mart during Christmas over the first run, overpriced, prone to fail units. |

Was never an Xbox person for many reasons, but I tried to listen to the reveal with an open mind. Focus on multimedia instead of gaming, Kinect without any good Kinect games shown, Only shown 3 games, and the only one that looked new and vaguely interesting; we barely saw any of it. Tech is inferior to PS4. |

That might actually be a step to solve the heating issues the last gen had. The PS3 barely has any air intakes and it runs pretty damn hot every time I turn it on. |

PS4 has the hype lead now - E3 will determine who has the real momentum but MS will keep a good install base by securing the Activision and EA dlc first option.
If the PS4 really is the more powerful system (all the MS overhead dashboard cutting into resources) then the 2nd wave of PS4 games will sway everyone from then on and consolidate their position.
I think Sony looks set but none of us have really seen actual games running on actual systems. |

That might actually be a step to solve the heating issues the last gen had. The PS3 barely has any air intakes and it runs pretty damn hot every time I turn it on. I'm really afraid these intakes represent the bare minimum of what is needed to get this revision survive the guarantee period. Intakes usually weaken structure and need more/stronger material to keep the box from breaking. This is often expensive and manufacturers are often hesitant to pay more than needed, even if it's just a few cents per unit.
We'll see if microsoft and sony are genuinely fed up with machines breaking earlier than necessary but i try to maintain a skeptical/pragmatic position when it comes to corporate decisions. |

I dunno about Sony, there seems to be an air of desperation with the new "reveal" video they released:

That being said - the XBox One looks like a HTPC built with off the shelf parts from Newegg. |

I know Xbox One (stupid name btw, its the third one.) has Blu-ray, but how does that work? If I'm being ignorant then please, forgive me and be gentle, but don't Sony have a lot of uh, holding, or stock, or rights or whatever with Blu-ray? wasn't that the problem with the 360 - that they wanted to put an add-on Blu-ray on it but couldn't because Sony wanted a shed load of cash to allow it? Again, sorry if I'm wrong, the conversation was a loooong time ago with an Xbox fanboy. (you reading this heartbreak? ha!) |

Sony gets royalties for other manufacturers granted permission to build the base tech of their device and pay licensing fees likely to stamp blue ray and keep in standards.
Think of it this way.
For every xbox microsoft sells.
Sony gets 5$ of it or something like that. |

Everyone has patent royalty agreements with everyone else in IT. I'm pretty sure Microsoft gets a massive chunk of money from Android handsets. |

Nah bro, gamers want another level of BS to go through just to watch tv on a cable box that looks like a 1980's VCR. |

The Xbox1 reveal was a joke. Sony came out firing all guns blazing and laser focused on games. MS came out farting on about TV. I know that it was announced that 21st would be about the future of xbox and E3 would be about the games, but first impressions last. There are what, 19 days till E3? All people have to talk about is a couple of trailers. Nothing showed screamed "next gen!" to me either.
It was clear where MS was headed by looking at this gen. MS aren't in direct competition with Sony anymore, it's a battle against Apple and Google. Xbox1 will be a jack of all trades and a master of none. PS4 will be the console for gamers who want a master, not a jack. :D |

Trolling independent developers must have got old, so they are now going after the whole sha-bang this year. |

Like at E3 they will be like "Just kidding, here is the real one." Mircrosoft is trolling not only the gaming community but also their entire corporate costumerbase and the vast majority of their manufacturing partners. One could argue that big MS is eagerly working on alienating all the customers that secured their quasi monopol over the (yet) largest segment of the IT market.
