StrongMan has a better imagination than Manti.
Keep telling yourself that. But do me a favor and tell me another business that is consistently behind it's peers that isn't just a entry level device. A $400 dollar flat screen isn't as good as a $2500 one. An economy car isn't the same as a luxury model. The Wii U is an economy flat screen. The PS4 and 720 are going to be the high-end TVs. The Wii U may cost a lot, but it's mainly for a fancy remote. I'd rather have a better picture, features and sound.
@shadow2797,
What you don't get is that if Sony were doing fine with free PSN there was no need for PSN+. They made PSN+ simply as a way to get people to pay for the maintenance of the network. said before, a digital copy cost them nothing to loan out. In fact, they save money if the tax situation is still viable. Your whole salad thing makes no sense. If the difference in PSN and PSN+ is $50 and free games and the games cost them nothing or very little, then their point...
You are the stone that the builder wants.
Sway the problem isn't the media. They just feed on dumb minds. Look at the way everyone waited on the next news from N. Korea. Then Boston happens and the fear of a nuclear attack suddenly becomes a non-issue. Why? Because it was hype in the beginning. But people are stupid and feed into the hype.
Now take a feeble mind and add a fanboy mentality and you have the stuff that marketing dreams are made of. When the majority of gamers get a little smarter we will have bette...
Yaaaawwwwnnnnnnnn. Ignore.
Anything purchased with a Gold membership remains yours also. So again, they loan or lease you games. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying it's a cunning way to get money from people to pay for PSN.
If they are allowed to work it the way tax law is(or used to be) in the US, it's very smart. They games they give someone access to could be deemed a "loss" because they could have sold it instead. I used to work with tax lawyers. Several of th...
Do you keep the games once you stop paying for PSN+? If you don't, you were renting them. So letting you borrow some games is just getting you to pay for MP.
But I applaud their ability to get people to think otherwise. Sony might not spend a lot on marketing, but they are very good at slight of hand.
@majiebeast
Good to have a friend that leases you games since 2012.
If you're not paying for MP, you're paying to rent games.
There are some real morons that voted strongman's comment as "well said". MS did a reveal for the 360 7 years ago. So I'm not sure how a reveal show is copying Sony. It's the reverse. No one knows what MS has to show at E3 so that is a fanboy assumption that they have nothing else.
Showing something at GDC would be stupid if you have a reveal planned later. MS does have multiple shows and decided some time ago to stop doing so many group shows, as have ...
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Always on article 563. If you've read any five in the past you can skip any in the future. Wash, rinse, repeat has it's limits.
Nothing is a problem unless Microsoft does it. Then it's evil.
Silence....I kill you.
The Wii Us problem is that it's a current gen console with a next gen price. What happens when the PS4 and Xbox get announced at $400. How do you sell a console with a piece of hard drive in it and current gen graphics and physics after seeing what the PS4 has shown. They screwed the pooch. They would be smart to do a do-over. Bring out a new Wii much sooner than later. They'll have to drop the price to closer $200 to sell it. No matter what games they release.
I think the article is wrong about why Nintendo withheld specs and price. It was because they knew they were charging too much for what they were offering. Sony will be different because $400 will be seen as low for the specs. And the launch price of the PS3 was the consoles main problem. Sony will put people at ease quickly. There is no reason for either console to be more than $400.
The Wii U is poorly implemented. Why buy that?
Being open minded should do the trick. Closed mindedness could be the only thing holding you back if you;re really a gamer. Any real gamer would wait to see what a console has to offer before making a choice. Not listen to a bunch of rumors and say they aren't interested.
If the only rumor(which is actually fact based) that was true was dual GPUs would that be enough?
Of course not. Anyone that writes a fanboy list of problems
like in that far...
Thank you very much Sir or Madame. Hadn't seen that.
A game on PSN cost little or nothing. It was already made and sold in the retail pipeline. Now it just sits on a server as a link. It cost nothing in shelf space, no new development cost, no new nothing. Just maintain the server. Just 5 to 10 gigs of space. Giving it to you cost them nothing. They don't have to make another one. No pressing a disc, or buying a box or paying a shipper.
What you see in a store is completely different. There is shipping, retail mark-up, stor...
