"Winning should be the penultimate prize is what i am saying." - How do you know it isn't? iirc there isn't anything showing that this is not true. For all you know winning is needed to unlock cars. We don't know to the full extend how rewards are done.
"Not really in to the fact that Driveclub is being advertised as a racing game even though its not really about coming actually winning the race." - WTH are you on about??? You get rewarded for doing both. You don't just get points for doing challenges like having the best drift an x corner. Winning is still going to be important.

There is a map Schedule in the piece that shows what is given each month or look at the link here -

Unknown but probably unlikely given it wasn't mentioned.
True even though I don't support season passes and DLC in general it seems like a fair price.
"xbox will soon be a goner" - Console wise maybe but not brand wise.
All tracks free. Nice.
Not a bad setup.
9 free cars with at least one each month.

"Did you guys miss the part where the PS4 is selling approx. 6k a week in their home country?" - And did you miss the part where home consoles/console market has been in a decline for years. Also why does that really matter even PS2 that sold 155m worldwide only sold 21,833,216 units in Japan. Home country doesn't mean anything I mean XB1 has only ever outsold PS4 in one month(Dec) since launch when in comparison the X360 was outselling the PS3 by 32 mont...

"The tests by gamingbolt are BS" - Well they were not done by them and they are not BS. They were done by Allegorithmic. Expect you want to explain why more often than not PS4 always has the better framerate. And Matt(Multi-Plat dev) on neogaf says devs get more out of PS4's CPU and what Metro devs said in their interview about the differences between the API's.
"Essentially, the 10% bump compensated, but with the latest update K...
"The software maker calculates it can boost Minecraft sales by expanding the number of game users through Microsoft’s position in video games and computers, and by expanding licensing for things like toys and movies, said one of the people."

Lmaoooooooooo this isn't even from MS. It's Dualshockers/ Famitsu news.
With these numbers there is even a war loool. It will take years for it to get to PS4/Wii U launch numbers because now it will be doing low 10k per week if it's lucky for a mont and a bit before dropping even lower.
Welp that's pretty sad. That's quite a decent in the Xbox brand over the years.
They will be lucky to do X360 numbers at the end of the generation. Next week numbers should tell how they will do. For reference atm X360 did 86 units last week vs PS3 7,895 units. Should be interesting to see how much of it drop off it gets and if it can sustain decent numbers each week. PS4 has dropped to 6,000 units average for a while for reference.

Yep sales wise it's a done deal simply because unlike Sony last gen. They don't have Japan/Europe/Rest of the world to rely on. Sony is beating them in basically every country both are in already.
OT - Things mentioned in this piece won't be enough to change the sales gap but the last two points are good and something that they should indeed continue/do to keep XB1 owners satisfied.
As Monkeycan8 said Sony does quite a bit of investing in bringing up new studios/pub fund.
Recent example Pixel Opus which made Entwined.
So while both have done their fair share of acquisitions. Sony does fund/have funded more startups/projects iinm.

For more than $2 billon dollars that seems like too much money to spend on basically one IP - mine craft but I guess given the way minecraft sells on all platforms making Minecraft 2 an Xbox/maybe PC exclusive will make them a lot of money/sell consoles. Still the deal seems a bit silly to me.
Also this coming from WSJ is as good as being confirmed.
Still I think with that kind of money it would have been better to invest in internally.
There is evidence of that and official response from Xbox support. This piece has not provided evidence from twitter or any other source. Downdector does not have any post about issues today.
Well said. Sony really learnt from MS last-gen and have planned their game quite well even with some setbacks.
Signing co-marketing deals with two new big IP's was a very smart idea.
Fall -
XB1
Halo MCC
Forza Horizon 2
Sunset Overdrive
PS4
LP3
Driveclub
Great lineup on both systems with added third parties. XB1's is more attractive imo.
@Artist...
Co-Marketing it works.
Took it extra month to do Wii numbers. That's quite impressive. Destiny sure helped I bet. Congrats to Sony.
Yes because a single Always on-line game that can be traded in,sold,lend to in the traditional sense is the same as a console that because a brick if you haven't checked in and must have someone in your friendlist for 30 days before gifting the game because lending is not possible and trade, rent, sell options which were limited to select retailers and not available at launch.
Totally the same thing /s
