Looks like Sony built PS4 to compete the Xbox 360, only with better graphics/specs

If the past week is anything to go by it looks like that trail MS is blazing leads right out of the console business.

I disagree... When Apple, Android devices and Microsoft ecosystems are running the digital gaming landscape 5 years from now and Sony is yelling "hey guys, we do digital too if you'd like"...we will see who made the right bet.

 

Accept Sony does do digital... Are you serious right now?  Sony gives their consumers options, Microsoft is taking them away.  The only way microsofts approach will be successful and permeate the entire industry is if we allow it to, by supporting this bullshit.  I would absolutely love for nothing more than for Microsoft to backpedal a bit and at least drop this drm bullshit so that I can feel good about owning every system, but as it stands, I simply refuse to support this movement.  Sony and ninty all the way.

You just don't understand what a sound digital ecosystem is if you think that you can be half digital and half not. Xbox 360 and PS3 did "digital"...its the current staus quo.

You people are just not seeing the benefits of going digital and are jsut focusing on DRM and olways on as huge drawbacks. I refuse to believe that the people who use the internet can't see the benefits of a digital gaming library.

For example, how is Sony going to allow you to digitally share disk based games with friends and both play them in seperate households? You have to currier the disk back and forth...That sucks.

You just dont understand what it means to be a consumer and have options.  Microsoft is forcing this shit on anyone who decides to buy an xbone, Sony is giving you the option to purchase digital or retail and keep it that way.  Not everyone wants to purchase their games digitally or be forced to install their games to their hard drive.  Also, the sharing feature on the xbone limits that particular games use to one user at a time, essentially being the same as lending a physical disc to a friend.  It's as Badgenome mentioned above, insteand of incentivizing consumers to go strictly digital, Microsoft is forcing it upon you without giving you nearly as many benefits and options that Sony is.  Two different approaches, one drastically more consumer friendly than the other.  Do you have a brain?
