I just hope MS reacts the same way their fans are


Major Nelson already did lol. They're not 'worried' alright!


stating the obvious is a worry? 90% of the reactions from reviewers said the exact same thing.  so would they be 'worried' as well?


lol Major Nelson is hardly the unbiased source you make him seem to be, so comparing him to reviewers is just WRONG.

In other news, Apple doesn't think much of Google.

Well the 8GB of GDDR5 RAM is a huge advantage of the PS4. I can't express how important this is.

The Gaikia technology is also very advanced and not something Microsoft can just copy overnight. The stuff Sony is doing like play while you are downloading and try any game in the store....that's revolutionary IMO.

Also if I heard correctly, PSN will now be "fastest gaming network" thanks to that Gaikia tech.

Doesnt Onlive already do that?

Can you prove that?


which part do u want him to "prove"?  a question mark means he's asking does it.  so it would be your obligation to bring facts to the table showing him no etc.....

That's where you're wrong. He made a claim. I'm asking, is it empty or can he back it up? He is suggesting that Onlive does the same thing. So back it up or sit down son.

To be honest. I think MS is probably most focused on what Sony will use the touch pad on the controller for and if they should add one as well. I thought it was dumb at first, then I thought there could be some great applications for it outside of games.

MS has a lot to be worried about. Doesn't matter if they show it or not. PS4 stepped up their game big time and we don't know everything yet. Get ready, the rest of this year is going to be real interesting.

It will all come down to what Microsoft chooses to focus on. Depending on their showing, if they focus on the gaming aspects of their console as much as Sony did for the PS4, then it will be a really hard and close battle between Sony and MS. Just like it was this last gen.

But if Microsoft focuses too much on gimmicks, I think they will lose a lot of their crowd. They need to differentiate themselves from the other 2, while remaining focused primarily on the gaming aspects. Kinect 2.0 sure is an interesting tech. But if it doesn't do much more than what is already available, why would people bother? Motion gaming is for a certain crowd. That crowd isn't really concerned with tech advancements like better graphics, streamlined online features and the likes. They need to show something that really stands out compared to what they did with the 360, and they need to make sure they don't come-out with a "me-too" console. 

Exactly, but MS focus has been on the casual crowed and making the xbox a tv service. If they don't focus on games and new ips they are going to lose to Sony once again. Sony has made the PS4 a gamers consoles first and for most. And that's what sells a console. Not television programs.

So we agree then? Onlive does not do the same as was shown yesterday. See bolded part.
