So your answer is no. You have absolutely no idea.

Thanks for making that as clear as can be.


I forgot the DLC...

...And plenty of other things. But you do that on purpose. It wouldn't serve your agenda if you mentioned the [currently known] list of changes and improvements.

Sooo, both are playable by what you own, both are same titles, added features, different box. How are they not comparable again?


Once you buy a BR player you can watch every movie that gets released. Millions upon millions of movies.

These are the 3 things I see people mention the most. Being able to play the game in 30fps is not an added feature.

Soooo, how does that convert to "being taken advantage of" by Sony? Do you want your new PS4 game to be playable on the PS3 or something?

You could play Wind Waker on the Gamecube. You didn't have to get a Wii U to play it.

The original Xbox was x86 and the X360 was PPC and it managed to do backwards compatibility through software emulation.  Is the reverse really so impossible?

They also could have just added a Cell chip to the PS4 like early PS3 models had an Emotion Engine chip for PS2 backwards compatibility.

Xbox 360 doesn't actually use emulation in the same way, you can't put in any game and have it work some of the time.  It uses profiles for very specific games, in order to work.  So, they make a Halo profile so they can run Halo, and a Halo 2 profile to be able to run Halo.  But a game without a profile won't work.   

Hardware emulation that way is expensive.  Let's say Sony is losing 1$ on each system as is.  Now to add a chip, let's say it is a 20$ chip, so now they are losing 21$ on each system.  Then consider they are making millions of systems.  1 million systems, that is $21 million lost.  See how millions add up pretty quickly?

I think MS had around 460 backwards compatible games on there for North America, which is around 50% of the games available on the console. They last updated their compatibility list near the end of 2007.  I think the profiles were also bundled with an update.  MS should be applauded for their effort in making so many Xbox games compatible with the 360 console, even though their software emulation wasn't perfect for all games.  

Though hardware emulation like the PS2, Wii or early PS3 had is still preferable.  So I do like the idea of another PS4 sku option with an added Cell chip for backwards compatiblity for a little extra price.

reeks of desperation to me


yep seems like it! imagine if they were kicking the competition ass!


i sense sarcasm in this post.. and if that is true, the joke is actually on you because sony is doing the worst out of everybody.. so thinking of this as a desperation tactic does make more sense than you probably realize.




great comeback.

300b>18b>17b 

sony is doing the worst. sorry.


i hate to talk about those things with people like you, who clearly doesnt what his talking about.

sony as a whole its not doing pretty well. although according to forbes sony has profit this year of 1b http://www.forbes.com/companies/sony/

and for what its worth Sony is 10 times bigger than nintendo, and if you think that MS can afford burn money you are delusional

but this is not what im talking about

ps division is in better shape than xbox and nintendo.

You know, if you'd do a little more research, you could find a lot more. You did provide the complete list for Wind Waker. Now, there is no such complete list for The Last of Us Remastered yet, but if you'd at least try removing those horse blinders of yours, you'd definitely find more and it would be quite an improvement over the FUD you're spreading so far.

Wind Waker came out 10 years ago and they added a shit ton of stuff to the game.
