1. "Sony is obliterating Microsoft on sales unlike last gen" - So? Value and Prices of games wouldn't change a pub isn't going to be more willing to do deals.
2. "Sony was forced to offer AAA games on PS3 because subscription levels were very low before they did.... now that PS+ is mandatory subscription levels are very high" - I don't know much on that but if that's the case it still took a year for a AAA to come to said service.

Oh Can't wait. Should be fun.
Also something funny I say on Gaf earlier but the Xbox twitter account hasn't been used since 23 Feb 2011 - https://twitter.com/XboxDK/...
iirc TF did somewhat ok on X360 so with the lack of interest already with XB1 in Japan and people having played it on X360 that could have added to it not performing as well or who knows :P
I mostly agree with Septic.
The real reason I see why they did it is because -
1. They can as it's a closed system.
2. MS has shown it's a big revenue stream that will be silly to continue to ignore
3. Recouping investment made towards the launch of PS4/Gaikai and revenue which can also be used for future investment in improving the service.
One thing they did right was to only lock MP and not add apps or F2P behind a...
"Always being hacked all ways down defiantly is not something worth paying for." - Wrong on both accounts.
Well that will come soon. You have to remember -
1. PS4 is a new platform.
2. Publishers are less likely to make deals because they games still have a lot of value retail/digital.
3. Library is fairly small.
4. It took about a year for PS3 to get a AAA title on PS+ also when the service was introduced.

Exactly it's similar to what playground games are doing with FH2 and have done with the original horzion.
It has never been 60fps you do know that right. We had no footage of it being 60fps. Also they never promised it.
"is “targetting” 60. “The game is obviously currently in development,” he told us, “we’re aiming towards that but aren’t making any promises right now.”

Basically this ;) - http://abload.de/img/concer...
"interesting. so they've done the opposite of forza 5 and gone with a lower frame rate to try and make it prettier with weather and effects. " - Not really Forza is a sim, this is not. It's doing to same as FH2 - Effects > framerate but framerate is still important and made to be as solid as possible.
"So where is this 50% more power? why can't ps4 run the game at a smooth 60fps WITH the extra effects and weather system? that would certainly bett...
And framerate is solid.
"DriveClub gives up its original 60fps goal, instead pushing for a rock-solid 30fps, improved effects and an added weather system. The only sign of struggle comes using an 'orbital' debug camera towards the end of the demo, where tearing briefly kicks in. Gameplay sticks to 30fps with perfect frame-pacing."
Well said.
The only reason I agree it's desperate is because of what was written
"Destiny is actually an epic new first-person shooter, available on Xbox. Thing is, we didn’t have permission to run adverts for the game.
So we didn’t.
Thanks for smelling that something was up." - Firstly this would have been needed to be given the all clear in order to not be in conflict of Sony/Activision's deal. Which m...
"It will probably be more like 10 Million is the first few months" - Lmaoooo you do know they are only allowed to sell 5m right...
Sadly it won't it's a cheaper way to get an "exclusive" (Well perception wise). And it works(reason why MS did the stunt in the first place) which is why it still goes on and will continue to go on.
Also great piece with solid and balanced points :)
Why would anyone fear a temp promotion verus one that has been ongoing on for a while and is permanent looool
"That is all that happens here on n4g. Since the Xbox was first announced years ago it has been nothing but a legion of Sony fanboys constantly insulting the company, the console, and anyone that even remotely likes it. You want to see what insecurity looks like?" - Ahh right the victim game. It's like Axois2, trufan, iMad(Mistermediax) and others don...
NPD September release next month should be fun ;)
Well apparently it doesn't really matter much to MS apart from china and japan. As in terms of localization of content that is.
"We have heard nothing about anything. Inquiries from distributors on available quantities or promotion also came to nothing. I would so buy a few hundred launch consoles, however, I have no guarantee that I will actually get them. Therefore, we have pre-orders for Xbox One closed, purely because I do not know if I can provide them. Meanwhil...
If you think XB1 wouldn't have issues then looool. It will affect all platforms like the beta did.
If you think a game that will be one of the biggest launches of the year with :
- Large amount of people accessing it an the same time
- Is P2P
- Is Always-Online
Will be completely error free that you want to look back at other always online launches.
Even TF with less people and dedicated servers had some hiccups at...
"Gears of War 3 contained dedicated servers" - If you have DLC and there isn't that many.
