Let's Talk PS4, Xbox One Release Dates

IGN - Now that we know PS4's release date, the ball is back in Microsoft's court. We predict Xbox One's launch day.

Bigpappy4646d ago

Ok. My guess is M$ will let Sony go first. Release may be a week later. But I am no insider; so who knows?

allformats4646d ago

It's not that MS will let Sony go first. If they could prevent that scenario, they would.

The better guess here is that MS won't be able to go before Sony because of all the problems they've been having with actually completing development of Xbox One.

mikeslemonade4646d ago

@bottom
PS3 is 11/17/2006. I don't even have to look that up because I have that in memory.

Back on topic:
This the only chance X1 has to take the lead at all this generation. If they release later then they will always be last place.

Saigon4646d ago

I don't think that would put them in last place, because it is only a week. I think as long as they release it before Black Friday they should be fine. Granted there are rumored issues with yielding, but we don't know if that is true. I guess we will have to wait a little while longer to see what the date will be.

trafalger4646d ago

m$ was likely waiting for sony to announce first for once so they can evaluate the date they picked for each region. my guess is m$ will be earlier now by a week or two. my guess is pre-orders for both systems are sold out and by coming out earlier you get more buzz. it will also give them a chance to have feedback released out in the wild and if feedback is positive it could help them. of course if things are crashing online and other problems exists it could be very bad.

the best scenario for m$ would be this. come out at least a week before, have everything work as its supposed to and have software get good reviews. then have the ps4 stumble out of the gate and ps4 owners frustrated because online gaming is having issues or some features not working as well as hoped or multi-plat games not really showing why the ps4 is more powerful.

worse case scenario. xbone comes out later, units still available on the shelf, software shows the ps4 is more powerful out of the gate, cloud gaming isn't what they claim to be, hardware yields not being able to make many systems and kinect still doesn't work that well.

Muerte24944646d ago

people don't remember. Xbox 360 launched November 25. I don't think MS will launch along side COD:Ghost because then it would make their upgrade program mute. It's only for a limited time. My guess would be that PS4 launches November 15th (ps3 November 16th). Xbox One will launch November 21st-22nd. That way anyone who bought there Xbox360 copy of Ghost can just upgrade it for $10.

thrust4646d ago

Yes i agree they will want to cash in on the upgrade program for sure.

Akira20204646d ago

Well, I generally use grape jelly on my toast, but I could always settle for honey. I'm just saying.

DOOMZ4646d ago

My bet is XBOX ONE, 11/5/13!

sincitysir14646d ago

I dont know everyone was hoping for an October release from Sony! I say maybe a week plus or minus 15th

Thomaticus4646d ago

December 1st...Is when the xbox1 will release. November 1st is too early and I don't think they can release around the holiday so I think they may end up holding for the first week of December.

Supermax4646d ago

I see them throwing ghost in with it and comeing out on the 5th.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga14d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot13d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose14d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE14d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername13d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy14d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde14d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8614d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8614d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300014d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7714d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
