Lol they're calling this Microsoft’s "next-gen doesn't start until we do" quote on Neogaf.
'Murica!
Wow I think we've found the one guy who doesn't like the redesigned triggers on DS4. Every opinion I've read so far has said that they are excellent to use, especially for fps games. Can't please em all I guess.
Pro tip for Sony: make sure the 2m wide thermal exhaust port on PS4 is shielded. Also get your staff shooting lessons and better armour.
PS4 will be huge! (metaphorically)
Sorry but cloud is wishful thinking until they give us any reason to believe otherwise.
It's not closed minded to be sceptical of PR.
I demand to see Xb One's birth certificate!
The title made me think they were comparing the actual cardboard boxes.
PS4 has 50% more recycled card and uses GDDR5 ink for the design :P
I've given up trying to fight this perception, the American gaming media is incapable of seeing past its own borders.
Jeebus, when will these people learn what a placeholder date is?
If you don't want it why even buy it? Just let someone who really does want it get the preorder, scalping is evil.
@below: again why even buy it now then? Just wait until you are finished with this gen. Remember, every scalped console that sells is one kid not getting what they wished for at Christmas. Evil.
We're making exactly the same argument here, which is why I'm not refuting you.
The only difference is you are equating 'listening' as acting only after you are threatened with action and not after being asked nicely.
We're both saying same the same thing, that MS acted only after being threatened with 'no sex' (pre-orders) and not before. I agree that it makes business sense only to react when you see a negative impact. I was ma...
A loving partner would try and implement changes after being asked and not after being black mailed with no sex.
Why not?
Woah woah woah, you're putting words into my mouth.
I never said MS is a "horrible money hungry company", nor do i think "Sony is somehow just in the games market to listen to customer feedback and make the product that you want". We actually agree that both are just companies trying to make money.
I'm only arguing against the perception that MS made the decision to change their policies due to the outcry of fans and not pre-order...
NOW they are listening yes, but it took a massive hit in pre-orders before their ears opened. If they had it planned to change the policies at E3, why the smeg would they let their PR guys go out and argue the importance of having the DRM and always online stuff in place?
Also the article does not take the timing into consideration, which is why I brought it up.
Another one trying to convince himself that MS are 'listening to their fans' in regards to the 180.
You can give them that massive benefit of the doubt or you can look at exactly when they changed the policy and come to a more balanced conclusion.
Did they change the policies after the Adam Orth incident? No
Did they change the policies after the reveal backlash? No
Did they change the policies after E3 backlash? No ...
A quick look through edonus' comment history:
"Sony supporters out here short circuiting or maybe they just dont enough RAM"
"Damn.... I feel sorry for you guys. Sony supporters dont like innovation."
"Sony is only competing with fudged numbers. They are hollow."
"That is the code of the SCJ(Sony Circle Jerks) a radical terrorist faction of the SDF (Sony Defense Force)."

How did this crap get approved?
Obviously pulled this 'insider info' out of their bum bums.
You sir, owe me a new sarcasm detector.
