Funny list.
The greatest that could happen would be if during Microsoft presentation bill gates comes out of nowhere to announce he has the most stock in Microsoft once again and he decides to cancel the Xbox one and he completely changes what the next Xbox is supposed to be.He says that he will put real quality business men with the Xbox and he invests all the assets available for the gaming division for games. No kinect garbage no TV junk no sports garbage just following the Sony strategy and releasing games

Blachek4711d ago

The list is outrageous... I would have liked to see something a little more realistic. There is an opportunity for somebody to make a good list. Maybe I'll edit this later with my own.

Fireseed4711d ago

Cause that's what the game industry needs. Homogeneity.

Thepharaoh4711d ago

I'd much prefer Microsoft to go the similar way than the way their currently going.besides as a gaming division they should be just like SCE dedicated to their game developing and marketing with this television stuff afterwards

Fireseed4711d ago

TV Studio department is completely seperate from the game department, but I do agree not enough effort is spent on making and advertising games. I mean Killer Instinct and the rest from E3 are the first new games we've seen in a while. Which is the cause of my one and only knock on the Kinect... I trust that it's gonna be a big step in game experiences... but we don't have a game yet to prove that. You'd think that with all their pushing of it, they'd have made a first party title that utilizes it in a hardcore manner. But nope.

At the same time I'm kinda glad they didn't force a studio to make a game on the basis it had to use Kinect. Would've come off as just that. Forced.

No Way4711d ago (Edited 4711d ago )

I don't see why it bothers people that they advertise other than gaming.
I feel MS thinks\knows people know that an xBox is a 'gaming console.'
So, if going by that, maybe they want people to know the other features..
They advertise the 'new,' less known about, features; and sprinkle games.

On accident I agreed with this rediculous, fanboy garbage of a comment.

edgeofsins4710d ago

I agree with anyone that isn't Steve Ballmer.

B-radical4710d ago

A console by EA, Ubi and Activision would literally be the most boring and bland thing ever made

I think if EA UBI snd Activision made a console it would be a clone copy of the xbone before the DRM was removed.

" Sony comes out and tells us all they really like television"

There is one thing that some people I believe have over looked when it comes to the PS4 and it's entertainment features.

Sony owns movie studios, TV studios & publishes a ton of top music artists under their label. So Sony is in a great position to get all kinds of exclusive content via those holdings.

All Sony TV shows have content tied into with the SEN & PS4.

All published records have exclusive content from the artist as part of the publishing deal.

All Sony produced movies have exclusive content for the SEN & PS4.

Sony's movie/TV studios make exclusive shows/ episodic content for the SEN.

There is all kinds of stuff Sony can do internally on that front like they do with their first party game studios.

MS has no choice but to negotiate and spend big money with 3rd parties to do this while Sony has the internal workings to do it. So I see Sony with the advantage even in this aspect but they just aren't really promoting it yet because that is not what the early adopters of a console want to hear.

Just a thought on the matter

blanket144711d ago

well said sir bub for you!!!!

malokevi4710d ago

Very true. Cant count how many times I've seen the Sony logo before a movie.

However, you can take your statement and supplement the words cloud and Microsoft.

MS has the infrastructure to support amazing gaming application.

So what matters more, TV, or gaming?

....

airshiraz4711d ago

all i need is :
mirrors edge 2 release date
new game of naughty dog

adventureghost1244711d ago

I hope this article is joking because that was the most absolutely outrageous and stupid list I have ever read? Playstation TV?
Wii SNESU?
All of the worst Video Game Companies create their own console?
These are like the worst things that could happen

ZodTheRipper4711d ago

No it's no joke, a game console from third parties is very likely /s

rpd1234710d ago

> Implying Ubisoft and Activision don't make some awesome games.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi84d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer85d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot85d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno85d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay85d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno83d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK84d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
