It used to be that next-gen machines would leap frog PCs and then get overtaken later on. It's why consoles were sold at a loss.

Remember when the PS3 came out and you had all this "power of the Cell!", "supercomputer on a chip!" bullshit?

Not happening now. Now it's all, "of course the PC is better", even from the Sony diehards.

Probably a new limited edition Doritos DLC for Forza.

Please don't spam the news feed with your gaming trophies.

No one cares about your stupid farm.

Right now, at the beginning if the generation, Microsoft and Sony are relying on retailers selling their systems.

When the installed base gets large enough, the leverage retailers have reduces, and hopefully digital prices do too.

I'm not sure that there are more great games than before, it's just that they're so much cheaper and accessible.

My Steam backlog is ridiculous. Steam sales and Humble Bundles have caused it to balloon, and I'm conservative with my spending!

Go home Hicken, you've failed to come up with any kind of argument.

Just read the argument I wrote at - http://n4g.com/news/1398150...

Agree with it, accept it. And then try to lie to yourself and forget it. And then defend Sony's new pay-for-online stance.

Yeah, if you want the best mediocre launch game, Killzone: Shadow Fall is the one to get.

"And the natural resting position our thumbs take when holding a controller is at the bottom of the controller where both sticks are on the DualShock."

Not true.

The natural position is where the dpad and face buttons are, which is why the controller was designed like that before the sticks appeared.

Seriously, what do you think Sony were on? Look at all the different PlayStation controller prototypes, there's some real crazy o...

The DualShock was a compromise from the start, the article is correct in that it's just an original PlayStation controller with analogue sticks tacked on.

The analogue sticks are not given prime placement of the controller, prime placement is given to the increasingly neglected dpad and face buttons. This has meant that games which require both sticks leave your hands in an unnatural position.

Finally with the new dualShock, Sony have decided to move the...

Sony, please do a deal with Google.

Yeah - what I see in gaming forums are Xbots complaining about their lack of a Second Life clone.

Where else can I express my fursona?

Sony don't own Quantic Dream, From Software or Kojima, yet they produced great exclusives.

My point was that you don't need first party studios to create great games. This is proven beyond doubt by pointing to great games by third parties.

Pointing out that first parties can also create great games does not actually counter my argument. Either way, you're paying for exclusivity, whether they're your employees or someone else's is irrelevan...

Take a look at Apple, who make more money from handheld gaming than Nintendo and Sony combined, and yet have zero first party games.

I disagree that you need to own first party studios in order to succeed, or even create great games.

Sony never owned thatgamecompany, and they produced some of the finest work this generation. They own Team Ico, and they've failed to produce anything.

Very gimmicky waste of time from Sony. It seemed geared towards in-game advertising rather than serving the needs of gamers.

I don't think Elop would sell Xbox, with his experience at Nokia, he knows how the device business works.

That $2 loss figure that Nomura came up with for Xbox I find difficult to take seriously. And massively understates the losses from Windows Phone.

Selling the loss making Bing might be a good idea, but who's going to buy that stinker? Google can't because of anti-competitive fears, I don't see any other tech giant wanting to get into sea...
