I buy products based on what it offers. Not on what was said in the past. After all, are we not paying for experiences? Seems like a complete waste of time going on and on about what Microsoft was proposing in the past. The vocal minority either need to just come out and say they will never buy the XB1, move on, and stop talking about it. Or explain what's stopping them from buying one right now which would only include software, price, or hardware related matters.

"Will you people please understand something very simple. There are more Sony fans on here and more Sony fans on Gaf. That's not because N4Gs or Gaf is biased, it's because Sony are more popular and have 3.2 million more consoles sold. Why is this difficult to understand? "
That's not true at all. Go ahead and look at the system boards, the activity is totally lopsided compared to all other system boards including the PC and...
It can help if you have the choice between hardware. Get a good PC or build one and you won't have to worry. Otherwise if you own the new consoles it might interest you but if you only own one of the new consoles then you're right, it's a waste of time which just leads one group of fanboys going against the other group.
Here's a tip for David Cage, hire a good writer.
The man behind the rumors says,
"I do it all just because I personally find it entertaining," Jesse said. "Got to do something to keep the boredom away."
That essentially explains why trolls act the way they do. They are bored, likely have little in the way of a social life and unlikely to have any relationship with any females.

That would make sense if you actually illustrated a comprehensible thought based on the topic at hand. Instead you used an article about a new Crytek game to tell us how your PS4 sits and collects dust while you use your XB1 daily?
What is wrong with some people, is this really what people enjoy to do in their spare time to talk nonsense?
Anyways I&...
Way too many people on forums have nothing better to do, it's ridiculous. This game looks fun as hell but for others being a irritant to others gives them joy.
Then we have those who just want to talk about resolution, frame rates and how many copies something sold rather than enjoying the games.
Will Plus members have to pay $60 too?
How is Sony on the right track if the only way to buy games for it is still through their own store? On the PC you have multiple sources to buy your digital content, console makers don't offer this option and that is why many including myself are weary of going fully digital. Yes we also see good sales on PS Plus and XBOX Live but it still pales to what's available for the PC. Of course where the console benefits most is the ability to buy physical copies, but how long will we have th...
I like how some games and apps are free but come with advertising. Then to remove the advertising you pay on average $1 to remove them and to support the developer. That way you get to try before you buy. One of the issues now especially with the new consoles is many games still don't even come with a demo.
Sony is taking they sweet ass time with some of these updates. The pre-installed games haven't been ready yet that are supposed to be available at launch for digital games. The ability to take control of other peoples games is also MIA.
Last generation they were mocked for so many updates (mostly because many were just security updates with no real meaningful new features). Now they are taking what seems like forever to get some of the basic features we saw on the PS3 and...
The games are coming, it just takes time. Look at the Wii U, it came out earlier and is still struggling to gain any momentum in software support. This is not going to happen on the PS4. Plus I am glad indie games are getting much needed attention. You've got some great talent out there.
insomnium2, you just commented in another topic that the X360 stopped getting games after 2 years. So is there a reason why you think you're opinion is valid on who is and isn't a fanboy?
So stop trying to take what is essentially a positive topic about the XBOX One and make it about you and your fight against those who like the system and your own personal issues with the company.
Great update, years people have been hounding Microsoft to be able to ...
Even if Microsoft had a perfect show and it was all about games with decent surprises you will still not make everyone happy. It is in the best interest for certain individuals like insomnium to keep the negativity alive and well because that is their mandate. To take away any positive attention and to talk very minimal about the actual games.
It really is flabbergasting how certain individuals are unable to simply move on. We all know Microsoft has made many mistakes. We als...
You buy items based on the product and what it offers. Maybe one day everyone will just focus on how the system is and the software but sadly some are way too ingrained in the company behind the system. Some people play games while others play brands.
"Why did you decide to make the game on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, instead of just PlayStation 4 or just PlayStation 3?
For both PS3 and PS4, we wanted to have as many people as possible to play the game."
But they have no plans for a Western release and it's PS3 and PS4 only. So unless Westerners wouldn't buy this game his comment is contradictory.
"Of course you're too focused on me complaining about MS to notice anything else."
Oh my goodness. Fine, I'll stop but you won't. That's the difference, I'm not about to spend all my time on things that don't interest me. Microsoft should be flattered. Maybe one day you'll figure something out and that is material things such as game consoles are just toys. Some of you guys have taken what is a relaxing and enjoyable hobby that can also b...
We can go back and forth if you want to about each company. Back when the original Xbox came out it was priced the same as the PS2, yet it came with a built in hard drive, much superior specs and broadband access plus a 4 controller port. I am not going to deny the PS4 offers greater value as a game console compared to the X1. What I am getting at which you seem to ignore is why you spend MORE of your time talking about Microsoft and the X1 than you do about the PS4?
This is ...
And yet Sony now charges to play multiplayer. Why is it impossible for you to move on? 'ALL' companies care about their bottom line. Sony charged $299 for the PSOne, they charged $299 for the PS2 yet after sustaining a huge marketshare with console gamers they then decided to charge $499 and $599 for a the PS3. So just like any company they will make products based on what they think consumers want and are willing to spend. It was pressure from its competitors that forced Sony to drop...
Well of course they are doing these things because they want to remain competitive.You think Sony is now charging to play online for the PS4 because it's thew goodness of their hearts? You think they dropped PS2 functionality on the PS3 because of the goodness of our hearts?
All companies will either have to make changes or face low sales. Nintendo is learning that with the Wii U as well, it's why they reduced the price. How long before the Wii dropped in price compar...
