I'm in the west coast here in North America, it's 5:22 am. I've been meaning to go sleep, but I forgot how to do it, like that time Peter Griffin forgot how to sit down. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
One thing I know for sure though is "My body is ready"

Of course online is free, there were never really any doubts about that. Rumors stating otherwise were just from websites fishing for hits or with hidden agendas. And people who are currently paying to play their games online fan the flames some more in order to feel good about the whole thing.
The PS Vita should be all the evidence necessary to show that Sony is not interested in charging for voice chat and online play.
I don't know what going on but this keeps on double posting for some reason today. Sorry guys.
Boy that goal post just keeps on shifting eh?
At launch it was "no games", then Sony Killed that.
Then it became about Metacritic score, and Sony again killed in that department.
Then it was "the sales", then Sony outsold them wordwide on a yearly basis.
Then it switched to "at this rate they will never catch up", well Sony have caught up.
and now it's all about "North American sales numbers, ente...
Please come up with a better title than this. It speaks to an amazing volume of ignorance when you claim that Sony has to take back a throne from the one gaming company that has sold the least amount of hardware out the big 3 since the Xbox 360 debuted in 2005.
Nintendo - 271 Million consoles and counting (Wii, DS, 3DS)

I will suggest that you not watch the Sony event later today while being anywhere close to your Wii U man. It would be a real shame if you break the Game pad while reacting in rage to some of the announcements. Because you'd realize that you absolutely don't need that second screen, and we wouldn't want you to be disillusioned so early on.
Silly Rabbit... Credit Cards are for grown ups, might want to wait to grow pubes first, before worrying about your imaginary credit card.

"$ONY doesn't have the muscle to out shine M$ in bringing huge content to the online infrastructure and im am not just talking about games but other medias. "
So let me get this straight...Sony, the company who owns Music Labels and Movie Studios, and Manufactures all sorts of electronics, doesn't have the muscle to outshine MS in content?
How old are you son?
Oh no need to wonder, just 1 Blu-ray.
Well I would assume so as well given that how a vast majority of features on the current PS3 are behind a paywall.

@ 1nsomniac
You clearly haven't used a PS Vita, the Dpad on there is arguably the best I've ever used on any on console or handheld. And that's going back to 1985 with the original Nintendo. So it seems they're trying to get it to be as close to the PS Vita's Dpad as possible.
It's the smoothest, blister free Dpad I've ever had the pleasure of using. It also has a very satisfying click that helps you know when you're doing a mo...
lol
I'm not 100% sure about it, but I think you can already do so with certain games on the ps3 (GT5 I think) and with some games on the PS Vita as well. Again, I'm not sure, since this is a feature I've never needed.
On Topic,
I think the arcticle brings forth a very interesting concept with the controller. Using the controller as the main key to access all thing Sony/Gaikai would be another huge plus for Sony. But I think that even if they don't go tha...

"Like he 360 is the slowest selling console worldwide which is a fact but it being worrisome is an opinion"
T
hat is the main reason why we have Kinect, as it was very evident to Microsoft that interest in the it couldn't keep pace with neither the Wii or the PS3.

From the article itself:
"As gamers, we have very different tastes when it comes to what games we like and play. If you think about it, there are very few titles which managed to sell to more than 15% of a console's user base. Combine the sales of Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 on the Xbox 360, and you still have over 50 million gamers who ignored both titles and are looking for a different experience. Please notice that those gamers make up the majority of the user base...

"THE PS3 SOLD 1.7 MILLION SYSTEMS IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF ITS RELEASE, AND NOW THE WII U SOLD OVER THREE MILLION and people are saying it's a failure????? how stupid can you be?"
The PS3 cost $600.00 plus taxes at that time, and the launch wasn't worldwide as it didn't release in Europe until late March 2007. Also the PS2 was still selling like hotcakes at that time. People Wii sales have declined sharply, so Very different scenar...
@Tei777
I'm sorry but you seem to contradict yourself in that post there.
First you said: " Exclusives only matter to those who need to validate their console purchase"
Then you said: "For me personally the annoyance is in the fact that the 360s 1st party line up was so strong from 2007-2009. I assume many people bought the system expecting this to continue... "
I think that's the whole point to bu...
@Dangert12
You are aware that the PS Vita has cross game chat right?
On topic
I think the article makes some very good point. PSTV as the puts it could very well be the next big thing for Sony, though I don't see it overshadowing the announcement of the PS4.
Maybe in hindsight we will look back and this was the moment when all Sony devices started sharing one brain "Gaikai".
And I think that's the wa...
"What Sony has to show is that the games you'll be able to play on the PS4 are in a totally different class to what's already available.
The actual hardware is less and less relevant for a video games console now - if all people wanted was better graphics, they would all buy high-end PCs.
What it really comes down to is the games themselves." --Keza MacDonald UK games editor for IGN--
Sigh... Talk about a walking contradicti...
