What does Microsoft/Sony know about us - more than you think?

Every time we connect to Xbox Live or PSN we're giving huge amounts of details about ourselves to Sony and Microsoft.

It's an interesting idea how data collected is used and to what end. Activision has obviously looked:

X number of gamers will buy the next COD game

X number of gamers will also continue to buy DLC at X price.

Ha its too late to get concerned about your privacy.
Google and Facebook got you by the balls!

gamingdroid5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

As far as I can tell, I'm not really concerned about what data MS, Sony or Nintendo collects about me. Most of the data seems unimportant about what games I play, when I play or what I buy. Not a huge deal yet... unless they get hacked and loose my data which is a major issue as they have my birth date, name, address and email (hello spam!).

There is a small, but probably unwarranted concern about Kinect though.

On the other hand, Facebook and especially Google are both a scary proposition. Google for instance isn't clear about how they dispose of your search data for instance which both Bing and Yahoo does! Bing after 6-months and Yahoo after 3-months. Google also host my email!

Even more scary is Google is actually good at data mining so they probably know more about you then the US Govt and their services is good, so they got me by the b*lls for sure.

Facebook is a huge danger because there is so much personal data, potentially including your personal views. Employers would love to get that data!

Do Microsoft know that many of us play Gears 3 naked, at least 42% of players with Kinect or Vision cams (guess)?

raytraceme5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

If that is true then I can see why the microsoft is pushing kinect a lot and sony pushing hardcore games more ;)

Just goes to show the age group of the people who own both consoles.

Chaostar5175d ago

Sony knows what you did last summer!

Kinect scans your genitals and posts specs/pics online!

There's a booth in Germany somewhere that charges old geezers to go in and watch naked gamers play halo!

All your bank accounts are belongs to the haxors!

That was fun, I can see why they do it now :)

GribbleGrunger5175d ago (Edited 5175d ago )

LOL

brilliantly delivered fella. bubbles

bahabeast5175d ago

yes they do know alot of our info but its just so they can know what we like and bring it to us.

suicidalblues5175d ago

Then they know I'm a cheap bastard and typically start gathering my trophies/ achievements 3 months after a game releases, so that I can buy it at a lower price.

There are few heavy hitters that I'll pay full retail for. You want my $60, bring the AAA game, not the AAA hype.

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29923274d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER3274d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot3273d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto3273d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19843274d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot3273d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp3273d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto3273d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv723273d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma3273d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa3273d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma3273d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
