Expect for example Gaikai behind it.

I'll have you know. I have nothing to do with this.

if DRM is as same as the one they have on current PS3 exclusive titles like online pass than I have no issue. If the go the route of xbone one with internet connection mandatory then PS3 will be my last console.. and about online play I have a feeling they will drop the price of PS plus and will introduce a new service including Gaikai and stuff @ the price of PS plus.

But i think Sony should keep online play free that is one thing which differentiated PSN from XBL.


You have the "feeling" they will lower the price?! And will also include Gaikai in ps+ for the current price? I doubt this will work. Sony has to make money off ps+ and Gaikai, they bought it for 400 million...

sort of, what i meant was that Sony will cut some feature from PSplus and will reduce its price from $50 to $20.. and will introduce a new service at 50$ which will include Gaikai and stuff.. Coz if they start to charge for multiplayer, which is one of their Aces this gen, then they have no incentive to ask people to stay on PSN and not to switch on XBL2 in which my opinion people will still think its better coz of its legacy. So to sum up i can see sony charging for Multiplayer access but they will throw in some goodies too.. coz they wont charging for a service which was free and give no incentive 

That's what I said several times. They won't charge for mp only, just like MS doesn't do this, too. They will put many features in this box. Will be interesting in the next weeks, they have to reveal all their plans!

The reaction won't even be 1/10 as negative as it's been for Microsoft. To many people, especially here on VGChartz, Sony can do no wrong. Meanwhile, Microsoft can do no right.


This.


even though if Sony implements DRM, that would mean it was always on the card since the inception of its rumor, but they choose not to talk about it and People will sign blame on MS and EA for forcing this move on PS4..

Oh, so now Microsoft is conveniently ahead in their development of the console? I thought they were 1.5 years behind or something according to you guys?

It has begun!!! MS MADE THEM DO IT, I SWEAR!!!! LOL!!!

What!!?? who said anything about MS development.. Man! MS fanboy are dellusion.. u guys know how to make a normal conversation into an argument. my statement was Pro MS not against them.. I tip my hat to u sir!

I cannot imagine the chaos that would ensue if Sony announced similar policies to MS.. Would be a show for the ages, perhaps even more entertaining than many of the actual games themselves.

Me personally though? I will simply react by laughing and enjoying the entire next gen with my Wii U/ PC combo.

I'm a little tired of these types of comments.

MAYBE there's a goddamn reason SO MANY people prefer Sony over MS the last few years. I bought a 360 before a PS3 and had an Xbox1 (can't really go and say Xbox one anymore can I). Why don't you just look at the game releases for the last two years on both consoles?

I'm not going to make a bullet point list (and that would be so easy), but (once again) maybe, just MAYBE there's a reason beyond blind fanboyism why people are more positive about the PS brand at the moment.

Thats why i said "Ms fanboy" for me Xbox fanboy and MS fanboy are two different groups. Like me im PS fanboy and i hate rest of the Sony products.

It wasn't directed at you, but to everyone in general so sorry if that's how it came off. Sony fans have said numerous times that the Xbox ONE was behind in development and I couldn't help myself when you typed, "People will sign blame on MS and EA for forcing this move on PS4.." when the ONE was supposedly behind, if anything the PS4 would have pushed it on the ONE in that case.

It's just this site, ya know.... Sony can't do a thing wrong, MS does everything wrong.
