I cannot wait for the Xbox one to come out and everyone buys it, loves it, so we do not have to hear people constantly complain anymore
The amount of bitching on these forums is an eyesore.


It's not just this forum, but the whole internet. People in the real world are walking away too. No body wants this thing, Just saying.


According to who? You?

Most people i know are acutally excited for it, the used game policy is bs, but PC gamers have been dealing with that for years, console gamers can too.

Everyone i know hates it. Only 3 people of these 15 or so where ps3 only this gen, everyone is going PS4. That’s why there are consoles gamers. Less shit to deal with, now that’s out the window  why not just go pc and have the advantage of steams deep discounts? Get ready for the storm its coming.


Just because everyone you know hates it doesn't everyone else does. The Xbox one will do well, like it or not. 

And yes I do game on the PC, and i do have a steam account. Steam will never be on par with Xbox coming from someone who has been using both for years.

MS will losse lost of ground, like it or not. Count on it.

We will see, i doubt they will since they are catering to a much wider audience than Sony.

An audience that isn't intrested in a new fangled way to watch tv. Good luck with that MS. By the way, ps2 sold 150 million plus to gamers. I think Sony will do just fine reaching a wide audience.

You seem to know a lot about what consumer feel and think don't you? After MS success with Kinnect (fast selling consumer device of all time) i think people would have more faith in their business strategies.

Yea and sega was once a great console manufacture as well, that doesn't mean they will be again does it? Sony is marketing the PS4 as just a  games console therefore limiting a huge segment of its potential market. 

 

Right now Sony is, you’re right. But they've always had the multimedia box. They are marketing it to the people that are going to rush out and buy it day one. You really believe that lie? Yet another told by MS. Kinect still didn't help the xbox beat PS3. You know what help the ps3 beat the xbox? Games.

you are always welcome in Nintendo side!

or Playstation lol



That's basically the "sides" I've been on since the Gamecube. And I must say it's a really good place to be.  

I can't possibly have a Nintendo console as my main one. Because the only games that are "must have" are the first parties entries, and a few rare third party ones.  So there's a lot of months that go by without anything new to enjoy.  So I came to discover Sony's own first parties during this last gen, and of course, the third party efforts is much stronger on Sony's side.

So I get the best of both worlds. Indeed, the 360 had what Sony had too, at the start of the gen, and that's the reason why it's the first console I purchase this gen. But the nature of Live, and the lack of effort on their first party side, comapre to Sony's just wasn't enough to keep me on their boat.

And the way they're handling the XBO so far really doesn't make me want to be a part of it again.

Oh please i was not talking about the Kinect helping MS beat sony. I was talking about MS business strategies should not be underminded. They know what they are doing, before Kinect was released the interent laughed at Kinect saying it would flop, then it went on to become the fastest selling consumer electronic of all time. 

And I'm sorry but the ps3 was the sore loser this generation. Sony had the monopoly in the gaming industry with the ps2, and the ps3 destroyed that. Took Sony 7 years to catch up. And if games were the reason why ps3 beat the 360 (less then a month ago) why is that 360 version of games and exclusives sell better?

PS4 is implementing the exact same thing besides the 24 hour online check.

I hadn't heard this. Any sources?


If they are doing installs on their console, which they are, they have to implement DRM. there is no other way it can work.

Except for the 24 hour check in, they are using this as DRM and bypassing most of the cloud stuff Ms is going to offer. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/03/sony-patents-tech-to-tie-discs-to-user-ids/

So essentially they are going to give gamers the "feeling" like they own the game by using it as DRM, even if the game lives on the hard drive, cloud...etc. Kind of smart trickery to keep old school gamers that like tangible things happy.

I'm curioud how this works when it comes to cloud streaming to PSVita. Like do I have to have my disk in PS4 at all times and PS4 on to play the game on PSVita? If so, thats stupid...

Got it. I was just curious because I keep hearing some say Sony is doing the same, yet I recall things being a little different.

Sites actually reported sony denying the patent is for the Ps4. Also, gamestop and yoshida confirmed used games and yoshida confirmed no internet connection required. Dont listen to the people saying otherwise. There is no reason to think Sony will have DRM at this moment in time. In fact, the there is every reason to believe they wont implement it



OP, when people said MS came into gaming because of multimedia it should've answered your question long ago. The Xbox One would've come regardless of the time, they just have to shut the gamers up to do it.

I do remember hearing something along these lines. I'll be satisfied with E3 responses, all this stuff makes my head hurt.

Yup, there is no reason to think DRM will happen for ps4 at this given time. We haven't heard persistant rumors like we did about MS. All the reports contradict the people suggesting it will. Sony and Gamestop already confirmed used games along with Yoshida confirming no internet required to use the system. There is no practical way to implement it or enforce it. The "up to the publishers to require online registration" (which is the quote people like to focus on who suggests these claims) really just sounds like online passes. Now, can Ps4 still have DRM? Absolutely, but I will continue to believe its not the case untill something actually supports that it is the case.

why then are some people in this thread saying with certainty that sony are doing this also?

Your only option then will be Wii U

PC and Steam are even stricter than the Xbox One.
PS4 is implementing the exact same thing besides the 24 hour online check.

So basically its retro consoles or Wii U for anyone who feels this way


see i dont expect as much from the pc as its always been tied down to me, but outside of that I could just play mine craft till the end of time, they regift that, and it can be played accross network when the system is down just takes a minor config change, and the owner has turned off checking before when all the auth servers blew up

Already addressed that. Look at the bolded text. They are speculating over a quote of something that has been availble the entire life span of the ps3. Nothing more than that

You're getting old, gaming is probably losing it's luster. Maybe it's time to kick up your feet and watch some good old TV... on the Xbox One.


I almost thought they had me with the NFL thing if they somehow got sunday ticket or what ever it would be called on the 360 it might be the one thing to get me to buy it, but they just glossed over the whole NFL thing.... dont know that i would  game on it, but it would be worth the console a live subscription, and another large fee ontop of it....this year im buying maden collectors ed from amazon as it comes with the gift of free sunday ticket for mobile/computers … your supposed to be able to buy it if you don't have dish but i have been unable to the last two years dealing with sales people who refuse or hang up or transfer 

but as it stands right now i have no cable TV so that would not help me
