Translation for y'all : "Starting 09/06 : PS4 remains the same "

EDIT : here's the link  

Sometimes tweets should be thought out more.  Saying the PS4 remains the same really isn't something to brag about.  It means the PS4 is not progressing or evolving but staying static while the competition is adding more value and incentives to the consumer.  That’s one of those arrogant tweets that made Sony look bad at the beginning of the PS3 era and does not sound good if Sony is smelling their success to much. 

This is the reason why I like it when one or the other company plays catch up.  If both MS and Sony were doing great, neither would have incentive to do better or compete better.  I like it more when MS is the one playing catch up.  MS definitely is not good when they are the lead because of their history.  Sony really isn’t better but they are better than MS.

A win for the consumer, a failure for the company. Gurantees an earlier X1 buy for me. And about bloody time I can watch netflix w/o gold

No price drop then, Sony better bring some games because that high school talk isnt gonna work this E3

Why would Sony do a price drop, they are currently selling more than the XBO. Only if MS suddenly start selling bucket loads would they consider it. At the moment they have what ?? 3300k gap to XBO in USA, April/May is maybe a shoe in. Last NPD the gap was 60K in PS4's favour. So let's say by June it's 400k gap.. Sony not having to worry yet.

Not sure why people are thinking removing Kinect is suddenly going to make the XBO more appealing, its a sensible decision to reduce the cost, but partly ruined by the fact they had already got shops reducing the price to that *with* kinect and PS4 still won.

E3 is the key imho... if both bring the normal types of games, then Sony should win most months this year. MS really needs to bring out the big guns... and I dont mean Halo is coming 2015 type message or DLC delays on Sony's console... and I am not sure they are in for that, after spending hundreds of millions on NFL (if they had spent that on games, man it would have been a different story).



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

this is just proof that Microsoft wasnt happy with XB1 sales.

microsoft have reignited the 8th gen battle. this will be interesting, i wonder if Sony will give the PS4 a 50$ price cut this year now.

when has sony ever dropped the ball when it comes to games? 

it's funny hearing from folks like yourself who thinks Sony never comes to play when it comes to games.  Historically, Sony's always brought a bigger and more diverse portfolio onto their platforms than what MS and Nintendo can ever offer.   Guess since the release of the ps4 all those 1st party studios Sony owns are just fiddling their thumbs away...

Sometimes tweats should be thought out more.  Saying the PS4 remains the same really isn't something to brag about.  It means the PS4 is not progressing or evolving but staying static while the competition is adding more value and incentives to the consumer.  Thats one of those arogant tweats that made Sony look bad at the beginning of the PS3 era and does not sound good if Sony is smelling their success to much.

How exactly are they arrogant? There's still stong demand for the PS4 in most parts of the world, so no need for Sony to drop the price if people are happy paying for it.

Microsoft are having a harder time selling Xbox Ones, hence price drops and introduction of a new SKU, minus Kinect.

Xone and PS4 look pretty similar now...

yea, I think you might need to change your sig to 4 = One, as they are almost the same console now

New sig feels better now. XD



4 ≈ One

Or it could mean Sony released their system the way it was supposed to be from the beginning?  I mean.. MS only had to 180 everything they've said from last year up to now..  6mos of your console cycle life and already the xbone is completely different from what they've originally had in mind and how they've released it.  Also evolving and progressing just to match Sony's offering now isn't evolving or progressing at all.. it's playing catch up just so you don't get slaughtered so bad.
