@ Tedakin
It's talk like that creates this sense that one group of fanboys is better than the other group of fanboys.
Let me complete your statement for you.
"It's fanboys, dude. That's it. Plain and simple. If Sony was going on about cloud computing, the people trashing MS would be saying cloud computing is the future and it's going to revolutionize blah blah blah. #truth While the people currently supporting the cloud...
Two interesting parts referenced in the article:
" He also clarified that Azure does not enhance local rendering efficiency, and things like a boost in resolution or an improvement in lighting are outside the realm of possibility. It’s primarily there to offload CPU workload and, in effect, boost its capabilities for the simulation of game worlds that conform to physics."
"You can not boost your games resolution with Azure. And no. You can not ...
Let me correct the title for the author.
" It's sad the best CURRENT GEN game so far is an updated PS3 game. "
Fixed.
But in reality, there's nothing sad at all about it at all. The game is was released so late into the PS3's cycle that many were predicting that it wouldn't sell, and that Sony should have saved it for the PS4. And they said the same thing for Beyond 2 souls,GTAV and GT6.
Not a singl...
Yes! Now let's hope that No Man's Sky does the same.
The annoying part about the whole Last of Us remastered debate, was that a bunch of those same people were criticizing Sony last Year for releasing TLoU so late in the PS3's cycle. Questioning whether it was the right move or not. And now we have to sit through countless articles like this, while the Xbox brand gets its almost yearly dose of Halo with no problem.
Unlike some other companies, Sony didn't choose to stop productions of games for the PS3 in order to try a...

I don't normally like to get into these arguments, mostly because nobody is really in here to adhere to facts. But I'll bite this time.
The PS3 NEEDED price cuts because back then the economy was in turmoil worldwide. And everything subsequently came crashing down shortly afterwards. So it was very hard to find parents willing to drop $600.00 on a games system for little Johnny.
Now please keep in mind that the Xbox One still l...
I guess that's the bedtime story you read yourself asleep to...?
Cool.
I read the article and I don't know if I agree with all the points. I don't think the oculus rift is going to cost anywhere near $2000 as the article suggest.
I think one of the key selling points for VR in general will be the ability to portray "scales" in games. In regular games, the camera normally pans back to demonstrate how much larger the boss is compared to the player. Perfect examples of that are games like Devil May Cry, God of War, and FPS games w...
I don't know about moving a lot of consoles, but it certainly is another great addition to the PS4's library of games.
I've been gaming for 22 years now, and I swear on my life that I have never heard of review scores for games until about 2007, which coincides with when I joined N4G. (Surprise, surprise)
I don't know if reviews have always held such weight as they have from 2007 up until now. But from "MY PERSPECTIVE" I only remember a certain "CAMP" harping Metacritics and review scores. I also remember multiplatform releases of the same games getting score lower...
Well the question being asked is really silly.
PS2 = 158 Millions in 13-14 years. The PS3 is at 8-9 years, and the PS4 is not even 1 year old. So on what basis is he comparing the numbers?
"It isn't fair that PS4 has a head start with Nov and in 32+ countries ahead of X1"
LMAO.... This fool ^^^^
I have been seing this "gameplay > graphics" thing flare up quite a few times whenever people need to emphasize or downplay a certain game. I'll chip in with my point of view.
The poster below me @NextLevel says: "Graphics don't matter to anyone who played Mario 64. The gameplay is what it's about."
And I'm almost 100% against that notion. It was actually the "Story,Graphics and Presentations" that made Mario 6...
Guys, let's stay on topic here shall we? First off we all that these numbers are made up (fake). But we also know that these (fake)numbers normally favors the XBox One, based on VGC's track record.
Now if what we're seeing is the "supposed" spike/boost from a cheaper XBox One sku, then there is only one thing going on at Microsoft's XBox Division right now..... this>>>
@Gamer1138
"GAME, the uk's specialist retailer, has been selling used xbox ones for £299. At that price they sell like crazy but aren't reported here."
If you bought an XBox One, and sold that same XBox One to your friend, that doesn't mean that 2 consoles were sold. It's just the SAME XBox One exchanging hands.
So there is no reason why used XBox Ones/PS4s should be accounted for. It's the same argument peo...
@DLConspiracy
If the fact that the PS3 and the PS4 outselling the Xbox One is stopping someone from enjoying their console of choice, then so be it.
You don't understand why all gamers get blame for a small minority of lame kids, mainly because all gamers DON'T get blame for a small minority. I've been on this site since 07, monthly NPD reports and multiplat comparisons articles were, and still are, some of the hottest articles on this site, and o...
@ ArchangelMike
I have to respectfully disagree with your statement there. If by "no one" you mean, microsoft fans, then sure.
But I remember plenty of people saying that Microsoft cannot go toe to toe with Sony and release a console at the same time and same price and compete with Sony. Matter of fact, I was one of the people saying that, so I know for sure I saw this coming.
Now the PS3 outselling the Xbox One, that I didn't ...
Man.... This is a load of horse sh!t ....!
Yea, that's right. I went there. =D
@Darth
"Sony showed what they wanted to show and it underwhelmed many."
Keep talking as if your perception represents those of the masses. You watched the show from your computer if at all. I was in a packed theatre watching the show, so I've got to hear the reaction of a lot more people than you have.
At last year's E3, all of you MS fans were so quick to point out that Sony changed their plans at the last minute and unbund...
Mistake or not, there are several facts that must be considered.
10 million + PS4s sold through vs 5 million XBox Ones shipped. Yet both were released at the same time.
Xbox one is now selling for the same price as the PS4, yet it is being outsold and the spike from the new SKU was very short lived.
Soon to be 2 forza games, soon to be Halo games, Titanfall, yet less than 5 million units. By the time holiday 2015 comes around, the PS4's i...
