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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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:

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. |

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 |

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.

Ok, So I own a Wii (not a Wii U, we'll get on to that later), PS3 and a 360. I'm a believer in not playing "console warz" because it's dumb, and limits your pool of entertainment. I buy my consoles on, or as close to as possible, their release day.
Currently sat under my TV are the following:
Dreamcast PS1 PS2 (chipped for international releases) PS3 Xbox Xbox 360 Wii
In the time I've had this current set up, These are the consoles I've used:
Dreamcast PS2 (mainly to play PS1 games) PS3 Xbox (purely for Steel battalion and JSRF (which runs badly emulated on 360)) Xbox 360
But, let's add one more factor in: let's say I never played Dust...
Dreamcast PS2 (mainly to play PS1 games) Xbox (purely for Steel battalion and JSRF (which runs badly emulated on 360)) Xbox 360
I'm sorry to say it, and I say it as a playstation owner (and saturn for that matter) from before they even hit the UK (I had a japanese import of both) But the PS3 is a failure in my eyes. Before Dust came out, mine was mostly used for watching BBC iPlayer stuff.
Saying things like the Xbox will be worse/will fail/etc is dumb. It's stupid Sony fanboyism, just as saying the opposite. The game content for each console will be near enough identical, the only differences will be the ever decreasing pool of exclusives.
Currently, the Xbox one has far more features than the PS4, and could be what swings people who only buy one console's decisions. Saying Microsoft has to pay Sony for each Bluray drive is really silly too... The Dreamcast ran on Windows CE, and I'm betting there's a fair bit of Microsoft programme engineering going into the PS4 considering they want it to be closer to a PC. Besides, I'm sure Microsoft doesn't mind the cash they get from Sony pre-installing the latest copy of Windows on every Vaio...
tl;dr: don't console fanboy. It's really silly, and multi-platform owners like me just shake our heads in despair of the myopic opinions.
And for those who held on for the comment about the Wii U, My Wii has sat rotting for almost 3 years. Nintendo have lost the plot and are too focused on gimmick gaming. |
