Well the signs are allready emerging. They are still taking PR shots at MS in 2014 where as Xbox reps are largely praising Sony/Nintendo. You have the $60 cash grab LOU remastered compared to the value-rich Master Chief Collection. PS4 PS+ games are nowhere as numerous or good (lack of AAA) as PS3 PS+ games. PS Now rental prices = WTF.

I dunno, seems Sony is starting to take advanatge of winning and price gouging where they can in subtle ways.  They are lucky their fans are doing most of the heavy lifting to preserve the notion that Sony loves them unconditionally.


- isn't value up the person? I see a lot more value in TLOU and have no interest in MCC

- yet they're at least giving us 2 each month while MS gives one; and one of Sony's july picks is a recent game (Strider), while MS picked a port. On top of that, they already gave us several games way before MS even started to give any.

- rental prices are set by the publishers and the new ones are actually pretty reasonable

 

Still waiting for unbiased arguments.

People say there is no such thing as wrong opinions.....your opinion on LOU is wrong. Preffering the game over Halo is one thing, but any rational person that compares the bullet points of what each game offers can tell you that the MCC is by far a meatier package. LOU is barely a year old.....it does scream of price gouging because game is still in recent memory. Sorry that people don't agree with your status quo.

The article had a few good points. Sony is in a good position right now and they can't afford to let it go all to their heads like when the PS3 released. But this had to be in the end:

For the love of all things holy, buy a Wii U. You’ll thank me later, I promise.

I hope they aren't serious by this.

Yes it is because the fact that TLOU is 1 year old actually increases its value, it doesn't diminish it. And that's being objective. TLOU is more expensive than any of the Halo games because the Halo games are older. TLOU+DLC costs as much as buying the 4 Halo games separately. Same reason why GOTY editions get released at full price. The original release is "fairly recent" and the games are still being sold at a medium-high price. Though those don't even improve the visuals (understandable because it's usually the same platform). So both releases are in a similar situation and it's up to each person to decide which one they want/like more.

 

I disagree. If you say TLOU Remastered is the better value, then you are biased towards TLOU or against Halo. If you love or dont like both franchises, then you can clearly see that the MC Collection is the better buy. Its 1 game vs 4.

I think the article writer should be very careful about how he writes these. Talking up the WiiU at the end of an article that supposed to be about Sony makes you look biased and like you wrote the article as part of an agenda. If it isn't directly related to the subject at hand (and it wasn't, it was tangential at best) then you should just leave it out and you can make another article about how everyone should get a WIiU.


And there is a lot of good reasons to buy a Wiiu, Ninty and the writer could work on showing them.

2 out of the 4 are remastered, all MP (and DLC) is combined into 1, the Ridley Scott series, and the Halo 5 beta. Can't forget those too :)

Sony is far from being arrogant, they know how it can destroy them.
They are the good guy now, and they are doing a great job.

This is what is wrong with the gaming community. There are no good guys in business, they only want your money. MSFT, Sony, and Ninetendo all make products they want you to buy.

*sniff sniff* whew! You smell that? Smells like a lot of jealous bullshit in here! *waves hand in front of face*

Well there are different ways of approaching your customers though. Sure the leads of every company has money on the brain, but I think alot of passionate developers care more about people enjoying their games than how much money itll make...
