Fuck that, I was an early adopter, I remember the painful years of #NOGAME trolling, the butthurt excused I made about Sony's output, eventually crawling to the 360 to play Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia... like a crack addict that's been without for months -years! Inhaling that shit, fapping to it's music and mewling at the JAPANESE FAWKING VOICE TRACK OMFGBBQ.

Sony would not have to work anywhere near as hard if not for Microsoft beating on them for the past gen, consumer NEED for both the Xbox and Playstation to be a viable platform.

And btw, I picked Horny because that's a constant state for you and me. :)

I still have no idea what live does other than charge for using one's own isp current or previous gens... Next gen on both sides i can see obvious service, although personally i loathe fb and dont want to connect my real name with an online gamer id... But i still see the purpose...

Overall I'm overjoyed ms did a 180 with the x180 (officially it's new name) as i was mostly 40/60 about the next gen console i would use... But at the same time dissapointed in ms for doing so as they could have been a lot more forward thinking about the whole thing and just released kinect v2 as a digital only service with the game sharing capabilities. I would have been a lot more impressed with that as an offering. However, even with out drm, and i did think about this, what does ms have to offer over sony for next gen? Subjective maybe, but not the best offerings for gamers in terms of exclusives or social/multi media. Honestly, i think Sony has a lot more to offer the next gen of consoles overall with most things being fairly even ground in terms of offerings.

PS4 needs good competition. If Xbox One kept the DRM it would have failed and PS4 would have won this gen no contest.

If you're sad you can't bash the Xbox One about anything. Atleast you still have that the PS4 is more powerful. Remember all the Xbox fans ranting about how PS3 games all look ever so slightly worse than 360 games and some which were poor ports looked much worse. You can finally do the same :P.

No it wouldnt. PS2 anyone? That was the best gen.

this is a good sign, sure Sony may lose sales but it promotes good policies in the gaming industry.
i never want to see that happen again

Yeah but no more sharing with ten people. That was basically legal piracy. I was down for that if it was true :/

Happy. No DRM threat for the console industry - for now.

This is a good decision for the whole industry. The Internet damage for Microsoft was so big, now they have seen they can not do everything they want to do with us Gamers. We are not stupid sheeps and Microsoft finally realised that. This is of course damage control and i think they have a Long way to go to get the trust from the consumers back.

With that beeing said i also dont think that the non DRM route was the only deciosion sony has maked. In fact they probably would have done the same if Microsoft didnt get so much bad press. They were smarter in waiting the reactions Microsoft will get and have seen this will hurt them more than waht it will bring to them.

So hopefully the whole industry now see with that bad PR that we Gamers dont Support everything they will bring to us. And hopefully the whole industry realise that not every gamer is so damn stupid.

Great for the industry as a whole as it's more freedom for us, the people that keep them in business to begin with.

However, already finding it weird thinking many think the race is instantly back on, did people instantly forget they tried to do it? MS has been damaged for even trying it and their PR mess for the last month and to many that have just instantly forgiven and forgotten, well to me that's just strange.

My option isn't here. Shame.

As people are buying it. MS already said that things might change in the future. Of course they will. Why stick around to eventually be pissed. They are just needing pre-orders now, and hype to get people not to ditch their console fully. Sony didn't try to piss us off this generation, and won't in the future (this gen at least). So why go back to MS, when they've showed their true colors. Sony is the one who made them wise up. I am guessing that MS thought Sony would have a similar DRM feature.
