It's because you can hack phones tablet quite easily these days, which also means you could quite easily hack the games to cheat and bolster your gamerscore. Part of the appeal of console achievements is that, with the consoles themselves being hard to hack and cheating generally not prevailent, you can be sure that most people have actually earned the trophies/achievs they have.
Give it a few weeks and there'll be an easy to use hack/app to get 100% achievements on...
"XBL everywhere---YES PLEASE"
Even if your account becomes less secure and achievements become a joke because of it?
The doomsayers tried the same thing with 3DS
"it's confusing to the average consumer"
Now look at it go. Although I haven't invested in the Wii U yet there's bound to be some cracking games announced in the near future that will temp me, HD LoZ pleez!
I've put off getting this game due to mixed reviews, however Sony exclusives always seem to be a cut above most games (warning: opinion) so I'll probably give it a go in the new year.
And the rumour mill continues to grind.
The fact is we know absolutely nothing about the new systems coming our way and, while it's fun to speculate, it's getting tiresome hearing the same unsubstantiated rumours again and again.
Schweeeet prepare to be spammed in the name of free games friends of mine :D
Whether you like the games or not you have to be impressed with those numbers.
Well done Polyphony Digital, your hard work and dedication to perfection has paid off and gamers have spoken with their wallets.
OMG the PS3 is a black box that makes things appear on my telly, it's totally copying my 1989 VHS player! SONY YOU ARE SHAMELESS! /s

"At last we will reveal ourselves to *Sony/MS*. At last we will have revenge."
@Azazel665 Describing anyone on Suicide Girls as "real" is most likely a mistake. I have no doubt she and many other 'hot' ladyfolk play games but the website is just plain trashy and these girls are NOT great role models for future female gamers.
I was an early adapter once, I converted component to scart before anyone else.
Sorry.
Who cares indeed, is this really video game news?
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the female form as much as the next guy but this whole 'article' is just an advertisement for a soft pron site.
The article seemed to use a lot of the weird and/or wonderful patents Sony has filed in recent years when, in reality, very little if any will translate into actual PS4 features.
I did like the sound of Sony using a 7970 in PS4 though, now THAT would be something.
"She is a sweet, shy girl who not only really loves comic books, but also is into video games"
They forgot takes her clothes off on the internet for money; so sweet, so shy.
"Whether they have Leeroy Jenkins-ed their way into the next generation with Wii U remains to be seen..."
What an awesomely hilarious way to look at it :D
The production value of this games looks to be through the roof! Can't wait for this, it could be the JRPG we've been waiting for this ENTIRE generation.
I wrote a blog about this (which I won't link directly) to some degree but I think it may have been dismissed by some as trolling, certain people have trouble accepting the truth.
It's not all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows at MS.
@aiBreeze Good point MS has have good fortune with Xbox 360. However...

I guess you're right in that they've always moved into and conquered markets rather than create an innovative piece of tech that spurred it's own market. When I wrote "tech leaders" I guess I was thinking more along the lines of just how much money they made in the tech business with software and not that they had any world changing tech products products specifically.
Microsoft has always had a big monopoly (windows) to fall back on for as long as I ...
No other racing game elicits such poetic rhetoric. It may have fallen out of favour with critics but nothing else, short of getting behind the wheel of a real racing car, captures the spirit of racing as elegantly as the Gran Turismo series.
