The only thing that is better is buildy quality and battery life. Ergonomics are better on the DS4 and the triggers and bumpers are complete shit on the XB1 controller.


R u kidding me Xbox one controller is so much better than DS4 

Nah. Do you think the XB1 controller is better than the 360 one?

They got involved with it because they liked what they saw? If it were any other game then maybe that might have been true, but obviously that's not the case with this game. MS didn't renew it and Sony's holiday line up didn't have any big games.

Winning, outbidding Microsoft with a ton of money, same thing...


yeah i 14 bill company outbid an 300+ bill company this has to be the funniest thing I've heard all day



Sony's exclusivity deals with Destiny and now Call of Duty may not be the last. Earlier this year, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said these kinds of third-party exclusivity arrangements are central to Sony's business strategy going forward.  http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-sony-won-call-of-duty-dlc-exclusivity-away-fro/1100-6428490/

 

Sony is going to bankroll itself right into bankruptcy.  How much money do they make on these games themselves?

 




The gamespot comment section gave me cancer, here are some quotes for all of you to enjoy:

" you are delusional. This is all about dollars, not player base, if that was the case they likely would not have gone timed exclusive seeing how X1 has been selling more consoles per month since last Christmas."

 


"X1 Wins December"

X1 Wins June...

X1 Wins April

http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/14/april-2015-npd/

So....Sony have 4 months to X1's 3...

Backward Compatibility, better exclusives, better Network stability (lizard squad anyone?), where do you think this going to ultimately end?

I have both systems, so Im fine either way, but X1 will win this console generation eventually. Sheer size of the company will make this a one sided event by the end."



"Yes, Ps4 has a huge lead over X1...again..i don't really care who wins, I win either way, but I would not bet against MSFT over the long haul. More money, more resources, more opportunity. They are just a much more forward thinking company than Sony, cant really argue that. With all that clout, why would you vote against them?

Sooner or later Sony is going to hit a wall where they cant outspend MSFT. It is no secret that Sony has financial issues, I just don't see this being a race they can keep up with. Hey, maybe I am wrong, hopefully I am, we all win if they both keep kicking ass."

As a guy who frequebtly vists a sales forum it pains me to see such ignorance towards actually learning about what's going on in the console sales market.

Only gamespot ? It's the same everywhere, mostly stupid ppl most of time, and then the comment section is unreadable/atrocious/Horrible.



I really believe that the Xbox division received budget cuts, which led to the current situation.

Maybe I should have specified what type of cancer. Here I go:

 

GameSpot: Gives me lung cancer, from breathing in too much stupidity.

IGN ( Vestibule ): Intestine Cancer, from all the crack and smoke topics.

YouTube: Heart Cancer which then spreads around the whole body, from the stupidity displayed by most in almost all topics.

VGChartz: So far I've gotten no cancer. Just mild Asthma.
