--> The overall picture for MS is very bright. They make tons of money, have the best 3rd party support, they hired the best talent in the industry for 343 studios and ...
No EA, No Activision, No Nintendo, No Microsoft, No THQ, No Warner Brothers, No Sega, No Square Enix
--> Not a good list at all.
Sony showed 7 games for PS3 (!!!) and people here say they showed more for gamers. Denial at its finest.
PS3 holiday lineup of exclusives this year is a joke and by far the worst in this generation.
LBP Karting, PSABR (2 obvious Nintendo rip-offs. Don't deny it) and Sly is all they have got for this holiday season. The fun part is that they mock MS for not catering to the core...
Sony published the flops named Tiwsted Metal and Starhawk...
MS announced more games than Sony at this years E3. Another fact people here like to hide for.
Just like the fact that MS had more games this year.
Or the shitty lineup of PS3 exclusives this year.
Or that the Xbox 360 has more games than the PS3. This is a fact!
Why would they redesign it so late into the generation?
I mean 12 months from now we will know most of the specs of the PS4 and Xbox 3 already. E3 2013 will be done this time next year.
If they can reduce costs with it: Why did they wait so long?!
I gladly pay for Xbox Live, just because it is worth it. Best service in the industry without a doubt. Better than Steam, battle.net, PSN etc.
And yeah, I played on all those services, including Dreamarena for Dreamcast.
*edit* I make about 80k USD per year, so $50 will not ruin my life.
I actually agree with you.
I don't like the idea to watch in 2 different (That is the difference between Wii U and DS!) directions. The best controller or remote is the one you are so familiar with that you don't have to look at it to use it. A touchscreen just won't do the trick.
It is like telling my girlfriend what to do when we play Xbox 360, which happens once or twice a year. "Press B!" looks down "where is B?" "The...
Some people here are so limited in their views.
Why should I want my cellphone to play games?
Why should I want my cellphone to be a navigation system?
Why should I want my gaming console to play movies?
Why should I want my cellphone to make fotos?
Why should I want my TV to have internet access?
Why should I want my Laptop to be a tablet?
Why should I want my MP3 player to have a touchscreen?

Just a few percent away from their 34 year low. Awesome job Sony, awesome job...
Market cap of Sony is only 13 billion these days. Just for comparison: Steve Ballmer has about 15.7 billion.
Forza outsells Twisted Metal, Starhawk, Ratchet & Clank, Heavy Rain, MAG, Socom, Motorstorm, Resistance 3 and a couple of others - are these titles irrelevant as well?
Halo 4 will move hardware like every Halo before. I can't believe you come up with "new ips" as an argument. These new IPs are Nintendo ripoffs, so obvious that Sony themselves admit it.

How about Bloomberg?
Microsoft’s entertainment division, which includes the Xbox, posted a 45 percent sales gain to $8.91 billion in the fiscal year that ended in June. The Xbox 360 outsold Nintendo Co. (7974)’s Wii and Sony Corp. (6758)’s PlayStation 3 in 2011, and also sold better than any other TV-connected devices, including DVD players and home-theater systems, Dennis said.

Okay, Sony is screwed for 2012 is confirmed. Their lineup ist just really really bad.
You can't compete a holiday season with PSABR and LBP Karting against Halo 4, Forza Horizon and Dance Central 3. If MS cuts the price this year (for the first time since 2008!!!) Sony is in big trouble.
The funny part is that Q1/Q2 2013 will be pretty crowded. Gears of War Judgement, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Tomb Raider, God of War Ascension and maybe the last of us. ...
Game of the show:
Halo 4 - at least for me and call me crazy, but MY opinion matters more for ME than the opinion of IGN.
1. Halo 4
2. Splinter Cell Blacklist (Yes, I liked Conviction!)
3. Tomb Raider
yours not.
stop beating a dead horse. The vita died just a couple of hours ago. Ironically it was Sony killing it.
reality check for PS3 fans. 2011 was MS year. swallow it.
Add Splinter Cell Blacklist please.
I can't believe Sony did not announce anything and people think they "won" E3. We knew about every game except Beyond: Two Souls.
The best part is the sound. When he switches to assault rifle and fires it, it just sounds so much better than in any Halo game before. Heck in any FPS before.
Of course it looks fantastic and the story seems to be unique again.
MS hired the right people with their 343industry people.
Most games is a given!
XBLA is way bigger than PSN. Overall the Xbox 360 has more games. Check metacritic, wikipedia.
Best online: I am 26 and from Europe. I gladly pay for XBL, because it is woth it. Any yes, I play on steam, battle.net and PSN as well.
Number of first party studios:
MS: 21
Nintendo: 20
Sony: 14
Check wikipedia. Thanks.
Best sales in 2012: Yup, PS3 is leading s...
