Yeah, if this comes up and slaps you in the face your reputation as DanneSandin will be forever soiled.

Honestly Nintendo hasn't really shown a very strong effort towards anything that would disprove your info. I've heard about some shoddy dev tools and their hardware is extremely customized. The RAM restriction though, that's crazy.

Microsoft concentrating too much on media and creating a console not game heavy enough while not acquiring studios in time for a decent launch line up...doesn't sound too crazy. But given what it seems Sony is pulling off, it is the wrong move.

The drama is thick. This is such an exciting time for gaming.

Cos you hope what danne is saying is true? The stuff he is saying is the stuff of every Sony Fanboys wishfull dreams (Not calling anyone here a sony fanboy) does that not set any bells ringing in your head that this is most likely fake and trolling??.


Yeah I thought about that too. Hinting at really amazing stuff for Sony haha.He very well could be trolling with all that. I hope what he says is true though (about the Sony part at least). I'll take it with a grain of salt though.

Of course it does. I mentioned that in my first post. But it is exciting none the less. I'm not a MS fan and for them to sway me would require changes on their part. This kind of thing is a disaster scenario, not redemption. The good thing to come out of it, in my eyes, would be more support over to Sony, a company I do support.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

kowenicki oh ironic Sig btw. Talking about longitivity where are m$'s 4 new ips for the Xbox 360 this year? M$ has already quit on the gaming front of Xbox and you have the audacity to have that Sig? Disgusting to say the least. Do you care if classical gaming had a future because with m$ if they get a monopoly I promise you will single handedly ruin gaming since guys in suits are running the show there.

Uhhh....guys. If the nextbox is region locked, are they saying that they're giving up Japan?

I won't believe anything until I actually see it at the MS conference.

I don't expect them to disappoint, they will give Sony a good fight.

From what I can gather Sony won't back down; they're making a last stand. If this goes to shit it's all over, so they're banking on the PS4 to be a success. MS will have to pull something amazing out of their slevees if they wanna give SOny a run for their money...

So going by your insider Sony is the only one doing anything good for nextgen yeah?.

Only because they have to. If they don't win they're exiting the market.

Seems a little extreme considering their videogame division is one of the few profitable parts of the company right?

wrong.

I could have swore I remember Kaz making a statement about focusing on three pillars or something like that. I believe it was digital imaging, phones, and gaming?

hahahahahahahahaha! You just reminded me of a 'discussion' about Netflix and the PS3 (if you read me) :D



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

I remember when Nintendo fans used to say this to me when Sony first entered the console world "Sony will ruin gaming" Sony is only in it for the money" "People at Sony dont care about gaming they are just guys in suits" etc etc etc

Funny how the times change but not really.

How exactly would Ms ruin gaming anymore then Sony would??.

They aren't ruining it at all. They brought us Halo after all.

The only problem is that I find the direction that MS wants to take games disturbing. All FPS and action-Rpgs.

so there are no guys in suits at Sony. Good to know. What do they wear. Sweat pants and nike suits.  seems off of all their decisions lately have cost them a lot, maybe they should get guys with suits. LOL
