These are the stats given to shareholders. They cannot lie on these. If they do then they will be breaking the law. If you have insider information I suggest you report it to the relevant authorities.

Also, it is a requirement that the numbers are based on shipped. If you have an issue with this you should take it up with the international stock exchanges.

Agreed.

The Japanese game market is, very much, led by the games.

As it should be.

Even if it is available for Xbox One devs right now, this game would have been in development way before that. It's not like they would just have to tick an option to enable DX12, they would have to port the entire project to it. So, they have to work with what they have and that means optimizing it rather than rebuilding it.

True that the PS3 had it but that was well before services, like Netflix, were offered on the platform.

It was the fact that it was omitted from both consoles that made me think this was why it isn't there.

Different console, different time. When the PS3 came out it was one of the best features for me.

As expected this is being seen as a positive. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind when the update comes but if this was an Xbox One article I'm sure the comments would be all about how Microsoft is dropping the ball again.

DLNA support is probably unlikely, anytime soon. After all, if people can stream any file they download on the internet from their PC or NAS what incentive is there for people to used paid services?

I know people can just use something else to stream but the vast majority of users will either not know or do not have the means. So, if the box can't do it then those people will never be the wiser and just use the paid service.

I wouldn't be surprised i...

It was essentially part of a PR campaign for the Xbox launch. It was planned that way.

Also, many companies open stores for one platform, or even one product. It's all for show. A good example is the Apple Store in Covent Garden. I swear there's more staff than customers and it's enormous.

I went in to the HTC Store in Copenhagen a few months ago and the only product they stocked was the One M7 and the store only had one on display, on a pedestal...

It has become out of hand.

Right or wrong though, your comment will definitely incite some hate.

I have to say that everyone keeps talking about devs getting more out of hardware over time, which is true to an extent, but it's different this generation.

In previous generations the architecture was bespoke and there was a steep learning curve. With this gen being so much more like a traditional PC, making it easier to get results. Without the steep learning curve of bespoke architecture this means that the ceiling will be hit quite early, in comparison with last gen a...

I'll generally buy the console that appeals to me at launch and then when something comes out on a competitor platform, that I want to play, I'll then buy it.

Right now it's Xbox One - I like Forza and Titanfall, so shoot me - but when a killer app comes out on PS4 - I don't like Infamous, it's my preference - I'll be buying one. Games that aren't out yet don't count.

@CapraDemon

Kinda like PS3. We all know how that turned out.

@bgamer if we're talking about motion controls then there are examples of this a lot earlier. One that I can think of is Samba de Amigo on Dreamcast. That was released in 1999.

Also, motion control is considered to be a controller that uses accelerometers to judge movement. In that case the Wii in 2006 would be the first.

I suppose Eye Toy was the first to track movement, kind of, using a camera peripheral.

Depends on whether debug access is left in the retail version.

Highly unlikely.

Agreed

Let's imagine for a moment that the PS4 had no games at all, since your point is based 100% on spec and nothing else. Would it still be the better choice?

Think about it.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Why would you think about buying an online only bundle, that would require Xbox Live, and then decide not to because those other services are behind the paywall that you would have already bought in to in order to play the game that you bought the system for?

A strange protest.

The other services are an additional benefit which no one in their right mind would buy the One for, solely. If someone only wants those featu...
