Without Bluray you couldn't play any PS3 games. It was central to doing what the device was designed to do: Play games.

Everyone knows (or should) about pushing Bluray to win the format war with HD DVD. 

Can I play games without Kinect? Yes. It is not central to the device, it is an add-on much like the Wii U tablet.

Fascinating how your brain works.

How do you explain multiplats on Xbox 360 and PS3 similar on every aspect?

PS3 - 720p native resolution
360 - Sub 720p resolution, which was then upscaled

Final Fantasy, plus other games had major cuts. FFXIII was a 3 disk 360 game, FFXIII-2 was developed to fit on 1 360 disk. Imagine what we lost because of that.

Plus there is no downfall to BR, except price. However Kinect........I still don't feel comfortable with a camera always watching me, and a voice always listening (my laptop down't have a camera).

Did that really impact gaming in 7th gen? Although, it is widely known that 360 versions looked and performed better most of the time?

You don't have a laptop with camera but most likely you have a smartphone or internet connection at home.

Yes it did, and no it's widely regarded that PS3 games looked and performed much better then 360 games. To say otherwise is just biased and wrong.

Does my smartphone or internet watch me sleep? (I sleep on my couch sometimes)

Anyway, this is just biased propaganda now. The way it is, there is a good base of people who want an XBO without a Kinect at a cheaper price. You already agreed, at a cheaper price XBO would have sold better then PS4, so why not give it to us? Microsoft is after all making gaming machines for us, right?

I still think force is the wrong word. You do have options M$ just put different tech in their box. I'm looking forward to having both bluray and Kinnect.

You could have Bluray 7 years ago on PS3

I doubt it. That's mainly forum talks.

People that won't buy Xbox product anyway, shape or form say that. My friends that only game on PS platforms say the same thing but they're just talking out of their neck.

X1 with Kinect is the right direction to go in my opinion.

MS won't be caught off-guard with future console developments.

If X1 was Kinectless and didn't englobe much of other media entertainment potential, I would've stuck with 360.

We want it with better quality playback software. That's all.

I see you stick for less, and change the goal post all the time... since I wasn't talking to you and you won't ever assume a negative point for MS, please don't even bother replying.

People actually want blu-ray.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I have an expensive and refined taste by the way... my achilles heel.

And thanks for the polite conversation, have a good one.

For the record, there are games that were sub 720p on PS3 and 720p on the 360. GTAIV and Red Dead are few noteworthy titles. Obviously that has to do with development, not storage.

Imagine what we lost in Final Fantasy? You can't prove anything was lost. Its not like PS3 exclusives are known for having significantly more content than 360 games. Using multiple discs is always an and developers take advantage of it when they need to.

If you don't feel comfortable with Kinect... don't use it, or don't always have it connected, or sell it to someone that needs a replacment. I didn't really want the Kinect, but it wasn't a deal breaker especially since it doesn't have to be connected.
