I like the Sony 70/30 game/multimedia approach... well I expect more 90/10 but I can live with 70/30.

I'm a gamer... not a teenager watching MTV.


If you have 10 games and I have 10 games, but you have 5 tv shows and I have 10.... Who has the better gaming experience? They are equal.

Ratios like this mean jack unless there is context.  More media doesn't have to mean less games.

Of course you would skew this to favor the NeXbox, even if it doesn't truthfully represent that comment.  What this would mean (and this is also going by both companies track records for the previous couple of years) is that Sony would release, say, 7 exclusives in one year (1-2 of which would be aimed at the casual market), while MS would release 5 exclusives a year (2-3 of which would be aimed at the casual market.)  On the other hand, MS would release, say, 5 apps or multimedia functions to Sony's 3.  Of course, Sony will have all the big ones (Netflix, Twiiter, Facebook, and a much better web browser), so I don't see a few exclusive multimedia apps/functions being a big deciding factor.  It wasn't this gen, either.

@ OP

What is it with Pachter and Skype?  The way he talks about it it sounds like he personally invented it.  Or maybe MS is just paying him to praise it.  Unfortunately for him and his predictions, Skype has been around for 10 years and it has never been, nor will it ever be, a major deciding factor in the purchase of an electronic device.  Don't get me wrong, it's a nice addition, but 100% not necessary.  And who's to say that you won't be able to access Skype or an equivalent through an app or the PS4's web browser.

Also, his statement about it and kids was just hilarious.  Could you imagine a kid 12 years old or younger talking to their parents in a Gamestop.  "Hmm, which system should we get, Johnny?"  "All I know is screw Mario, Zelda, Sackboy, and Nathan Drake, I WANT SKYPE!!"  Sorry, ain't going to happen in a million years.

Lmao.  Your lack of self awareness is hilarious.

All I did was explain how ratios work.  I made no other ccomment.

Then its you that came in and YOU skew this in favour of the PS4 with actual facts about how this will look. Ridiculous. Nobody knows yet. You sound desperate.

Some odd comments too....

"Better browser will of course be on the PS4"? Why? The best current one is on the 360.

Current context for me is telling in a period where Sony has closed studios and MS has been opening new one and recruiting developers all over the place.   Why do you think Sony are kissing 3rd party developers butts at the minute?

 

Lol, we both know you skewed the ratios to favor MS. If we are talking about an overall pie to display focus, you simply gave MS a larger pie. My example shows what we would most likely see if those ratios prove to be true. Of course this isn't just using Pachter's analysis, but both company's recent track record, as well.

And I meant the PS4 will have much better browser compared to the PS3.  Probably should have been a bit clearer on that. Also, 3rd parties are kissing Sony's butt, not the other way around. Not surprised you would see it that way, though.
