Forums - Gaming - Sony outmaneuvers Microsoft on price, design, and DRM

Ostro on 11 June 2013

Blablabla. Can't you admit every console has its pros and cons? And that different things appeal to different people?
$100 less, so what? You will pay more for Sony controllers and storage anyways.
Better design? Oh yeah, pure fact, science and logic. Let people decide what look they like. To me, it simply looks as shitty. Just a box. Weird shape. And it will collect way more dust that you can't quickly swipe off.

I will just stay off any new console and laugh about all the nonsense about them on the internet.

But ironically, lacking in exclusives compared to X1

MS can still change policies, but Sony can't just magically conjure up more exclusives.

Just heard Plants VS Zombies 2 is on X1, then 360, then PC. No PS4 version. Every little game helps

Mentioning exclusives as a plus is lolworthy. It seems you think when you announce all exclusives at once, it is magically more. Most of them will not really be exclusive either, just timed. I doubt that you will get The Last of Us in a year after launch though. Also, I thought exclusives didn't matter.

Plants vs Zombies will be on all smartphones (maybe except Windows Phone but I am sure it will come later if not day one), nobody plays it on a console. It will also be a timed exclusive 99%.

Think both of them looked like crap



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Impressive design? The PS4 and Xbox One both look bad.

True, but it is significantly smaller with beefier internals. That is impressive. I think they were talking about from an engineering perspective mostly.

X1 has timed plus actual exclusives.

Either you can't play it or you gotta wait a year to play it. Or you can neglect your PS4 and get the PC version. In the end, its all great deals that benefit the Xbox gamer.



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

TGS will be prior to either console's launch and will most likely have more games on display for the next generation. Just a reminder for certain people on this board before they post anything silly they will regret in the near future.

There isn't 1 single facet that's superior on xbox1 over ps4

I would say that the kinect is a better camera then the PSeye.

You have a point but didn't Sony say they had like 20 exclusives within the first year? We barely know about like 6 of them.
Besides I expect many publishers to change their tune once the PS4 starts selling like hotcakes. Do you really think Microsoft can continue buying out 3rd party exclusives over the next few years? Will it even make a difference? Price point is everything and a major advantage the 360 had over the PS3.

Do you enjoy the games more when it doesn't show up  day one on consoles you don't own? How does that benefit you?
