The Japanese market is a drop in the bucket these days. The whole culture their is so different from Western Society that it is virtually impossible for western products to take root let alone grow.
The real market that Sony and MS need to focus on for growth is the rest of South East Asia. They are going to be the market that will end up driving gaming in the future.
True, Xbox One will offer this down the road but it was decided at launch it was safer to use the preprogramed system they are using now for reliability. MS's equivalent to Siri code named Cortana will eventually be used on the Xbox One.
As far as 3 grand for a computer that can computer that can do the same thing as the Xbox One that would depend on what he is really talking about. To play that level of games you could probably buy one for $1500 in Canada or build one ...
This game looks very interesting and the graphics look great.
Alan Wake was awesome. A real sleeper hit. I can't wait Alan Wake 2.
For those that seem to think that MS hates this IP and is refusing to publish it you should consider more than your personal desires when you start pointing fingers. I really want it to come out too but I want it to be when they can spend the time and money to make it right. If that means MS needs Remedy to produce a hit a...
WTF? Dude that was either a really funny blog or a suicide note. She's not worth it man, get back online and play some Halo.
I am really excited for Project Spark and Titan Fall. I can't wait. Titan Fall is going to be Ridiculous!
I know. Have a bubble and an agree. You won't get many. LOL.
Yeah, that guy is definitely out there. LOL. He needs to be on Ritalin or something.
I swear on Xbox Live all the time and have never had an issue. I don't swear at people though and don't use any other derogatory towards others either. I just tend to swear when I get killed in a game. It is no different to me than if I hit my thumb with a hammer.
As far as Skype goes I think MS has more important things to do than monitor the language you use in a Skype call to your buddy.
Can it be done? No doubt. The capability to listen to ou...
I have a question where are the N4G Moderators? I have no problem with a little bit of trolling on here as it is expected but this particular thread is an example of complete and utter disdain for any sensibility or logic. It is nothing but pure hate being shown by people who have no interest in the article above.
Again: N4G Moderators do your jobs please. I come to this site because it keeps a lot of articles together in one place so it is easy to use. Regardless of ea...
I don't have an issue if the game is free to play.
If it is a game that I pay full price for then every unlockable has to be able to be opened in the game by playing it. I don't mind having micro transactions for those that don't have the time and have the money to waste on buying the unlockable items but they have to make sure that you can also unlock them by simply achieving goals in the game. That means they can't make the objective so hard that the onl...
Looks great. Will be even better once uploading to YouTube and streaming to Twitch is enabled. Hopefully they listen to people and increase the length for DVR to 10 or 15 minutes.
What amazed me the most was the sound in Forza and Dead Rising. The Xbox One sound processor is definitely shining. The tonal difference on the track between open track to in the canyon and then the tunnel is ridiculously realistic. I don't know of any current gen games that have that level ...
You will see the Esram come into play but it is going to require some work on MS's part not just the developers. They are going to have to streamline their API so that it is much easier to make use of the Esram.
The only thing that is being monitored is uploads using Upload Studio. If you want to curse a blue streak on Skype you will not get banned. You won't get banned for swearing on Xbox Live in game or cross chat either (you will just end up always playing with other people who are swearing).
The reason people are losing Skype, Netflix and online play is because their Gold Membership is being banned for 24 hours and those services require the Gold Membership. Simple.
Well, I thought it was just bloggers and reporters having poor typing skills but apparently vocal communication in English is in the shitter too.
It is fairly obvious that this guy and gal have absolutely no clue what the hell they are talking about. Just a couple of really poorly educated journalists given a topic to make an interview out of. Rather disappointing.
It was also pretty clear that neither of them knew a damn thing about digital electronics eit...
“Something Went Terribly Wrong. Please Come back later,” is not just on the Xbox, I got it the other day when adobe flash refused to play a video on a website the other day.
It is funny actually but I thought I had a malware infection at first.
I agree. Consenting adults certainly have the right to access porn (I know I have watched my share) but douche bags like this porn company and the dummies on the Playroom app are going to end up ruining a lot of great console features for the rest of us if they don't F@!k Off.
Congressional hearing on restricting apps and services on consoles coming soon.
It has nothing to do with the overclock, that would have been done by increasing the voltage to the SoC. There must be a programming glitch that is causing the cache to not get flushed. Seems strange that only some people are experiencing this though.
You can flush the cache in the settings menu on the 360.
Okay, this gets flooded with ridiculousness I will post this:
Most people seem to miss the point here. Xbox itself does not loose money. It makes money and has for several years now. Sure the launch will lead to losses in the first year as you have to write down the R&D and other costs of a launch. After that it is money in the bank. But that is not the real issue here. The real issue is that you have the investment banker in this article who only cares about one thing an...
Backwards compatibility is really a non issue for most people. I still have my Xbox 360 and will use that for backwards compatibility
You are wrong about Xbox Live Gold. I have PSN and Gold and PSN is free for a reason. It is not out of the good will of Sony, they were second at the table with a clearly inferior service. When I use it, it is slow, awkward to use, no cross game chat, it just is not as good as Xbox Gold. Gold is a premium service and I am willing to pay so...
Not for long. Once the Chinese market opens you are going to see a huge change in the market forces driving console and game development. The Xbox 360 is an underground hit in China and once that market opens it will be bedlam. Where the Chinese go the rest of that region will follow.
