I know I said I quit, but.......

......

Did a Meteor just hit Sony's Headquarters and kill everyone specifically involved with Sony? That would be a sad day.

@OP:

Google would team up with some Japanese syndicate to take over Sony gaming business. Or maybe some big Japanese syndicate would take it over alone.

PS Sorry for ruining some-company-that-I-won't-name's fans' wet dreams just before the orgasm.

Needless Gimmick?

Wait, the PS1 had a CD Drive, the PS2 had a DVD drive, and PS3 had a Blu-ray player. 

I forget when the 'needless gimmicky effect' of rumble was added to those.  But that's it was at one time.  Plus two sticks, etc.  Things are just needless gimmick till people like and expect them.

The Causals will buy an Xbox One with Kinect because it will do the most for them.  It's a fun party/exercise/dance/gaming console, plus they can talk to it and have it do stuff for them.  It should be the easiest and most convenience device of it's kind out there.

Like a Harmony Remote that you don't have to program and can talk to. 

The casuals won't buy the most expensive console out there, if so, the PS3 would have destroyed the 360 straight away, And how did you ever consider a blu ray player a gimmick, that's just nonsense

And stop overestimating the kinect please, because most casuals will buy a 360 with a kinect way before an xbox one "it is the cheapest option after all"

Ha ha ha, seriously, the Blu-ray was a total unnecessary gimmick when it came out, because there already was a HD format that the manufactures preferred.  It wasn't needed at all.  Caused a format battle, and physical media has lost because of it.

Guess you didn't realize, at least here in the states, the Xbox 360 + Kinect has been more expensive than the PS3 for much of the time.

But whatever, when someone says things like 'destroyed the 360' it's usually a sign of where they are coming from.

No, it's the truth

And judging from your sig, you seem to be very sensitive about anything negative said towards microsoft, and especially kinect

And like i said, if the consumers wanted to buy a kinect, they would get an xbox 360 "nice dodge"

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

360+Kinect is and always has been equel or cheaper than PS3, unless ur talking about the 250gb+Kinect but that one isnt nearly as popular as 4gb+Kinect

Sony would rather team up with Nintendo to annihilate Microsoft than just completely remove itself from the console market, as of right now, Microsoft is the only thing threatening it.


And Nintendo would just say "No, F*ck off" when Sony would be begging them to team up after what they tried in the 90's.


Nintendo : Fuck off Sony!  Your hurt our feelings and stole Final Fantasy from us 20 years ago!

Sony:  Okay, whatever. We'll just go with Sega and make Dreamcast 2 with Uncharted and GT as launch titles.

Nintendo:  *looks at NPD and recent shipping data of Wii U*   WAIT!!  Sony!!   Come back!!!!!  Wii Sorry!!!!


lol. You don't even know what I mean with that comment? Nintendo/Sony partnership. Sony made with Nitnendo a cd based system. Fair enough. But sony wanted to have the rights for all games that were made on the cd's so Nintendo didn't like that at all and "betrayed" Sony by going to Phillips behind their backs. CD-i was born...


wtf man?   Your trying to educate me on the early 90's partnership with Sony and Nintendo?    It's common knowledge to everyone on this site, put your pitch fork down..

then why were you mentioning FF lol?



AnthonyW86 on 03 August 2013

What if? You're obviously on drugs even thinking this could happen . I think it would be more likely for Sony to start working together with Nintendo in this case, to keep the Japanese gaming industry strong. Maybe not in the form a shared console, but they would find other ways.

It would be pretty insane for them to leave the entire industry. Even Atari publishes the odd game here and there now. If they left it would be a shame because we would see the death of many IPs, making Sega's situation look like nothing.

Nope, Atari is dead. The name Atari was sold, but that's no Atari existant anymore.
