you are trying too damn hard man, love how people is spining the xbox1 reveal and saying ... but but ... but sony maibe will do it too , maibe ...

camon man they already stated you can play used games or that console can be offline and you playing it. they will use that fee for online like this gen probably and thats it.

Xbox one can do both of those as well. But as we know, its more tricky then it sounds. Sony has been very quiet on actual details.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I don't see pay-to-play online happening. Would this be only on PS4, or would they retroactively yank free online from the PS3 and Vita as well?


I didnt think it would happen either but trustowrthy sources that Ive learned not to doubt anymore completly agree that online pay will have a fee on PS4.

Im pretty much positive its happening at this point considering whose saying it.

If they do, which I'm not entirely sure they will, then it will become OK to do such things for a good number of people. There will still be people that get angry about it, but not as many as when Microsoft does it. This also has a lot to do with the fact that first reactions are always the strongest.

Your trying to hard man.

Try to think objectively. At this point Kotaku has been incredible in their track record for PS4 and Xbox One.

Now they are suddenly incredibly off on 2 major details? Doubt it.

If they do that it will be met with anger and despair. Out of that there will be those who accept it and those who reject it. Plenty of confidence will be lost in Sony and MS will sell more this gen. The backlash will cripple PS4 sales and further damage Sony as a whole. One of the main reasons I like Sony this gen is their attract consumers through compelling optional content approach.

If they do this than what of the PS3 and the Vita? No one will move to the PS4. The concept doesn't make sense and if they restrict online play for those consoles then you can bet the lines at Gamestop to trade in those consoles will be out the door.

I personally would demand refund on the PS plus I have, start a petition and flood Sony with distressed consumer calls.

I hope if the big publishers are pushing MS and Sony in this route that Sony has the balls to look at them and say "Oh you want to put in place a no used game system? Well we have one. It's called digital only" and that be that.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
