I understood your point very well, I just thought you could have expanded your argument.
I think you've taken some comments on here a little too serious if you think MS online services are where the money comes from.

The argument that the charges for xbl are an investment would actually be very good if we w...
Stability and basic online service should be free, there's just no reason why it shouldn't be, considering all of MS's competitors have managed to provide this. The online capabilities of a PC, for example, are almost limitless compared to consoles with no fee on top of your basic internet subs.
The argument that XBL offers something additional to competitors would have been (more) valid had cross game chat been included, however it's not mentioned anywhere i...
"If you're a gamer you will buy the consoles regardless."
Are you saying that being a gamer means you have to buy every bit of hardware released without question? If so I disagree.
I'm fairly sure there were people who had issues with the PS2 and took that knowledge into consideration when purchasing their next console.
To be fair to PS2, out of the 150m+ consoles sold, there was never an issue with hardware on the scale of...
There's always been 'family' stuff on PS3 how will this be any different?
It's not like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, Polyphony Digital etc. are all gonna start making casual crap simultaneously ¬_¬
Yeah I'm pretty sure there will be carefully marketed exaggerations from all parties, which will be parroted ad nauseam.
Just to clarify your answer to my title question, you meant that you think the majority of fanboys will make the transition to the corresponding console, no questions asked?
You could be right, who really knows, but I guess my main point is that the reasons that they are fanboys of a particular brand in the first place may not exist aft...
I see your point about people really over aiming with their console spec wishlists. However I think that a minimum jump in technological prowess is needed to differentiate new hardware from old but, like you say, there isn't necessarily a need for that jump to be huge.
The console market has grown so much in the last couple of decades that there is room in the market for a wide selection of hardware devices. Take a look at the Wii for example, it seems to me that this w...
I used to be tired and unfunny, then I took an arrow to the knee.
I'm REALLY sorry, I have crap meme tourettes.
You saved me a few mins of typing, very well said. Give this guy some bubbles!
TV's don't really need full body 3D tracking, just hand tracking would do, which can be done on any £10 webcam. Voice recognition could also be done with a simple microphone and, let's face it, even with Apple behind the tech, its not really at the point where everyone can use it without a hitch now anyway.
I'd prefer smartphone/tablet integration tech to a camera in my TV. Being able to stream whatever is on my TV to my phone/tablet would be fantastic,...
"If Sony want the Move to sell they should be encouraging 3rd parties to use it more. Especially MW3 and Battlefield. Thats a pretty big, untapped userbase."
Ken Levine made the announcement that Bioshock will be supporting Move at E3.

He seems to be a genuine convert and this, should it implement successfully, could be a sign of things to come fr...

Yeah that's true but you're still required to murder a hell of a lot of people to progress through the game, as well as a lot of other unsavory tasks.
Niether Drake nor Nico WANT to harm anyone they are just forced to do it throughout the game, however Drake is the only one who gets crap for it in articles.
Why is Nathan Drake the only video game character that gets crap for killing bad guys? It's not like he's shagging prostitutes in the back of a car then brutally murdering them with a baseball bat for their hard earned cash, yes I'm looking at you Nico.
Mario pulls turtles out of their shells and stamps on them!
Maybe Drake needs a license, seems to work for James Bond.
I might have agreed had I not been a filthy lefty. Holding the controller in one hand and having Link hold the sword in another is an immersion killer :(
stolen from a random LoZ forum:
"Miyamoto is left-handed.
'link' (spelled differently, but same sound) means 'left' in German.
A left-handed swordfighter is generally more effective then a right-handed one, since most people are not used to fighting lef...
Sensible wishes, I see the PSV's social features as a taste of things to come with next generation PSN. I believe part of what makes social games on Facebook so popular is the ease at which accomplishments/updates are shared with friends.
The Vita's ironically named 'LIVE' areas update with not only social aspects but also personal statistics, trophies, specific game updates and leader boards. While this probably lends itself best to a small mobile device, I ...
Although I'm fairly sure it will be, gamestop are bound to say that aren't they. Still day one for me, despite being a little dissapointed by the PSP. Getting the chance to try it out at Eurogamer expo really sold it for me, just seeing what its capable of first hand was something special.
My (educated?) guess is that MS and Sony will make the announcements next year but I doubt we'll see the release of anything other than the PSV and Wii U.
Wth is "gay metal"?
I tried to see if your zone did actually affect matchmaking but I could find only one like that possibly suggested it did and even then only in unranked games and only if the developer uses it.
Of course :) lol that 2 word review probably would have been approved too :P
OMG my copy has just arrived in the post like 2days early! (UK)
Gotta go ^_^
"I know admitting your wrong is hard, especially on the internet, but you've missed the point of this article my friend... I don't care if you prefer PSN, I don't care if you hate Microsoft or just fees in general"
Now you're (notice it's not 'your') just becoming arrogant and presumptuous. First of all, if you take criticism of your writing so poorly then I suggest you refrain from writing opinion pieces in the future.
