Only cross platform games you will ever get will be first party unfortunately from MS as they wont allow 3rd party devs to do it to protect there network. This could be possible as I think this is the AOE4 announcement but I can't see PC vs XBOXO gaming together to be a satisfying experience TBH.
Good for you I don't get how that's relevant to this topic but give yourself a pat on the back. That feel good??
I don't get why people would disagree with you personally saying you can't wait.. They just like hitting disagree..
We still need to see enough of that game to judge it as so far it seems like another shooter with time elements and that's a shame as early videos made it look like a cool action/puzzle hybrid game solving time puzzles or something similar. But time will tell on this title.. WAYYY too early to judge.
Lets be fair apart from Halo nobody would buy an xbox next year for a game. Not one game screams out I must buy this console for this game. That only applys to Halo fans who haven't upgraded already.. As good as the exclusive titles look I feel if people havn't upgraded already for the exclusives last year they wont be this year for any single one title. This isn't a shot at the Xbox here I just feel games are getting so drab lately nothing makes many gamers feel they have to have...
Thats because they have done things right in early builds we saw the actual build not just some demo with makeup on to make it look good. See one of the last things a developer does is touch up graphics and add things like fog etc.. So thats why it seems like a nice bump in graphics now. You gotta get your basics down first, graphics second.
Also this is sonys sold through figures vs MS sold to retailers figures as MS has never and will never release there sold through figures. VGchartz cannot even get these numbers either for either console. If it wasn't for Sony telling everybody the number we wouldn't know. Would be nice to know Xbox true figure but no way in hell MS gonna release that.
Most of the stores originally opened to sell TVs etc.. The products that are costing the company money. This is one of the major benefactors of it. You don't see panasonic and Samsung stores do you? Only Apple can open a dedicated store are they make over 800% markup on there phones (the phones cost them $50 to make). This will definitely help Sony with there goal to go into a profitable business as the gaming division isn't whats causing them issues.
Slim versions are not for sales boosts they are for money making reasons. Smaller more efficient hardware means more profits and lower costs and also means they can lower the price of the console. In turn that will lead to boosts but Sony and MS care about their pockets firsts as after all there in this to make money.
Need smaller and cheaper hardware first and that will take around 3 years. I would guess around E3 2016 we will get the announcement and it will arrive holidays 2016. Or even immediately if they can pull it off.
This site just digging for hits?? The Xbox outsold the PS4 in 2 countries thanks to it being $50 cheaper and it only just beat it. Worldwide it still got beat.. Yet we still get articles trying to hide that fact and make out that Xbox won something here. Plausible deniability.
Indeed China has more population alone than the US and most of Europe COMBINED! You cannot talk about amount of coutries I mean it would be like if PS4 was only out in UK which is 4 countries BTW and the Xbox in US which is one the Xbox would blow the PS4 out the water. The Xbox is actually available right now to a way bigger population. Saying that when PS4 finally does get to China there wont be much differnt as those extra countries Sony has got don't have the kind of population to mak...
Xbox One got a price cut worldwide actually however the new price cut is strictly US only.
@Outthink_The_Room Holiday numbers didn't include December, purely because numbers were not released until recently.
will be that new AOE game we heard about since its a windows presentation.
Sony do too as they both love the industry and are making a crap ton of money from it. Its only the gamers who have the animosity is most cases. Saying that Phil is the first to gloat about NPD numbers so he's a little 2 faced in that respect.. You only see Sony talking about numbers at official conferences like E3 etc.. Not every month they win.. In just America..
They cannot afford to keep it at $400 even if people buy XBL with the fact they have to include games now with a sub it they make less money from that not to mention most consoles come bundled with a game so MS pays on top of the $349 for that as well. So until you buy 4-5 games for your console at full retail MS hasn't even started making a profit off you. They need to start making that profit somewhere..
Sony said it best when at E3 they were worried MS were going to an...
MS are very simple minded though in the gaming world NEARLY (not all) every major AAA or upcoming major game has guns in it. Even the new ones they invest in last year for example you had sunset overdrive (guns), Dead Rising (guns!), PVZ garden warfare (Kinda guns..), Titanfall (Guns!!!), Halo collection (Guns?), COD exclusive content (the top selling shooter game on any console so DUH GUNS!). How about upcoming games? Quantum break? Guns.. Crackdown? Guns, Gears of war? Guns, Rise of the Tom...
Far Cry 4 is missing for 1 maybe swap that for wolfenstein as the side missions unlike 90% of open world games dont feel boring and tedious and trophys are doable with no stupid online ones. The only online ones were like play each mode once. Dragon Age was a good shout though.
Wolfenstein also bugged me as you could switch to double guns which made you feel powerful but in reality was annoying as hell as you couldnt aim any longer so you missed with half your shots meaning ...
As this generation goes on games are going to get even more demanding and 1080p/60fps is going to get harder and harder to achieve. Look at the PS3 and 360 for a perfect example. They never went past 720p apart from a couple of PS3 games. As time went on the FPS was lowered in games like COD to increase graphical fidelity and look at the difference in graphics between COD 3 and Black Ops 2 on PS3 or Xbox 360. It's night and day but there is a drop in frames to make up for that. To compens...
These type of games aren't fun but they have cult following. So it will no doubt get a few players pumping a crap load of cash into it.. Reminds me a little bit like HOME.. It was crap but made Sony millions.
