Idk i just read the title and was like "hmm.. Is this Basil?"

I just immediately thought the op was from somebody who plays PlayStation and Nintendo.

I thought you were going to say something like "Rolstoppable has sacrificed me to the PlayStation Army" or something along those lines =P lol

Whose fault is that? Microsofst keeps delaying the reveal so naturally PS4 is getting more mindshare.

Welcome, although i wouldn't take rumors seriously :P

Too premature. We know nothing about the nextbox really.

I have issues where I am personally bearing the fallout of the post 2008 financial meltdown world and all its ailments personally, so I spend too much time not just living and trying to have a self-centered good time, but end up thinking on everything to make sense, in hopes that this can translate into something better for me.  I have attempted numerous big things, and buried with student loan debt and stuff, now work on a book with 100 games I designed in hopes it gets published and sells.  Pretty much everything about the lack of community and manners, I have lived and experienced, right down to someone saying in response to a blog about my situation that I should kill myself so his taxes would be lower an he didn't have to hear me whine.  It goes right down also to see Occupy become a trainwreck and myself failing to get a game organization involved in promoting abstract strategy games (IAGO) fail to really go anywhere.  Heck, and also add my failure to get a retro games forum on here for fans of game console makers not making systems any longer.  Fans of Atari have no place to go, but hang out in the general gaming forum?  Really?  BLECH!  Team Retro wants its own forum!  That is me and I guess 4 other people on this site.

I think Microsoft is intentionally planting super shitty rumors so that when they unveil, everything will look AWESOME in comparison to what everyone was expecting.

That said, I'm still of course siding with Sony for the next gen if the majority the rumors turn out to be true.

So having Orthy viral bits around actually helps Microsoft?  If Microsoft had no competition, then that would be fine.  But they have 1 and 1/2 competitors going up against at this point, so that is a different animal completely.  What it does do is make Always On, and no used game sales, off-limits and verbotten elements.

Well a post I would not have expected from a person in team retro as current gen and next gen consoles will pretty much be useless as retro console due to their huge focus on online games. In the end once their online services are shutdown, they will have far less games you can replay like past generations.

PS4 doesn't look like it requires online all the time to play, so not sure I see reason to be opposed to it.  I can say, on the other hand, if it provides a reasonably priced way to play retro content, then it could be a plus.  I would have to add that retro isn't just about collecting connect, but PLAYING stuff to.  Arcade games are retro as anything else.  For me, it is a matter of a choice that would be most relevant to gameplaying in general.
