Clarence,
Your link failed to get at the Engadget article about how Sony as a corporation has been in the red for four years running. Here I fixed the link for you.

Well ok that article only talks about how Sonys teeny tiny little television business has lost money for 8 years straight.....
Regardless, you will see even fewer exclusvies next gen than you did this gen...
Sony with year after year losses simply cant afford to keep selling AAA games as loss leaders. Microsoft seems to be exiting the exclusvies business, and concentrating on everything else that makes the xbox great.
Here hear! (or hear here?)
You are absolutly right. I almost forget...
Windows 8 pads with the trazillions of XNA indy games that will follow will make that the category killer that will pwn all these devices.
Thanks! I almost forget;)

I am pretty sure the biological circuitry that has caused every other product like this to fail has not been updated in the last 20 years.
Also, the apparent FOV is less that 45 so this product will have the same looking down a toilet paper tube effect that every other failed consumer HMD has had...
@MehmetAlperTR
Did you strap it to your head? I am not doubting that 3d technology works. I am just being realistic...
Nope, this is not even DOA. This product will never see the light of day, and it has nothing to do with Sony, it is a function of your biology.
When you move your head your eyes automatically move to compensate, and keep your perceived image stable... Thats why you can do things like read this text even though your head is moving around. Thats why it is impossible to do things like read text from a HMD, and why the image always appears to jerk around in HMD...
<...
No, this tech has no future. All this does is enhance the eyestrain and headaches and motionsickeness that all 3d technologies cause.
Well how about the implosion of 3d ticket sales in this summers movie season?
Really guys, 3d is dead...
Nope, you can put any old 16 gig usb hard drive into the xbox now'a days...
AKS,
I am unsurprised an audiophile either discounts or is ignorant of scientific double blind ABX testing. But even YOU admit you only hear a difference, you can't tell which one is "better".
If we were you put you, with your hardware in a double blind ABX testing simulator, and ran the test 100 times with different audio sources we would find that you have no statistical preference of audio reproduction over basic 2 channel stereo.
...
AKS,
lossless audio doesn't exist. It is bull crap invented by audiophiles (and stereo hardware companies cough sony ) to convince you that you need great big amps and giant speakers to get the true audio experience.
The fact of the matter is, a properly encoded mp3 with VBR has no audible differences to the human ear played on even the nicest stereo hardware. this has been conclusively proven over and over again with ABX testing.
So ma...
The the xbox will just use Skype and have moved on from cross game chat...
Sigh... Thats just the way it goes when you are PS fan boy, always playing catch up..
The only argument I have leveled against the Move is that it looks like a <ahem> woman's back massager. And guess what... It does look a bit like a womans back massager.
lol.
I am the exact opposite as you... I prefer to buy my games as digital version. The only time I don't buy the digital version is when it is not available. I like the convience of not having to look at the physical catalog to load the game up.
ZOMG, I thought you were joking and i searched and found...

And another thread where I get to point out that Consoles are in their death rattle... At least for core gamers.
Cornhole, or cornholing is a game where you throw a bag filled with dried hard corn at a box accross the yard with a "cornhole" in it. That is cornholing.
More specifically, there are a bunch of games comeing out now that will never make it to the consoles, because consoles are no longer powerful enough to run these games, and if a version of these games does make it to the consoles they will be a shoe horned port.
As a result, real gamers will be ...
More proof that console gaming is dying... At least for core gamers.
As a developer I have no expectations of my program working with any library other than the one I developed it with.
In fact when I change libs (either statically or dynamically linked) I count on things being broken.
I gave up the dream on "One True Library" like 20 years ago when I faced the issue of Dll hell. If you remember dll hell, it was caused by different versions of dlls having the same name, and the fix was simply to put the exact versio...
I think you are lying, and don't actually own a kinect. I use the voice recognition for tv watching like almost every day. It works as well as the video controls in StarTrek, only instead of prefacing your commands with "Computer" you say "Xbox"
Well he is wrong on four out of five counts, not bad for a fanboy. Also count five will be rectified by ME3 this fall.
The PS3 division lost a half a billion dollars last year.

Hey but last year the PS3 division had a 12.5 million dollar profit! /Dr Evil
No in all seriousness, look at how many loss leader PS3 exclusives Sony launched this year, add up the price of all those games, and wow! It matched up almost exactly wit...
