if they didn't take those few jabs at ms, sony's conference would have been severely disappointing, and regarding games, it was.
sure, if kh 3 and ff 15 were exclusives, then yeah it would have been awesome, but that isn't the case..
no clue. he pretty much lied in front of everyone.
haha, I can't wait till sony drops a similar bombshell just to see everyone's reactions.
Don't you think that if sony wasn't doing something similar to xbox one's policies, they would have come out and cleared the air already??
it's nothing new.
I just ignore them and go on.
i'm getting it.
really, I have no issues with the policies of the xbox one.
my internet never goes down, I buy all my games new, and I rarely lend games to people, just my son.
@DayZ
you want to provide us with a link supporting Microsoft's current stance/position rather than a screenshot taken that could have been easily photoshopped??
@DayZ
I don't think you read both articles correctly. They're not the same thing..
I'd say more, but I think aviator explains it pretty well in his or her reply to you.
nope, imo.
lol, what??
It seems as if sony will be doing the same thing as Microsoft (they even said the same thing!) and yet your are praising sony for that??
Well...it seems as if people on this website really are biased. Shame.
I don't understand...
This is exactly what microsoft said about the xbox one and people bashed them like no other.
Sony says the same thing and people here are singing praises and calling Sony things like 'straight-answer Sony??' -You do realize that not having to be required to be always online or connected doesn't leave out having to connect to the internet between periods of time??
Sony could have simply stated that you won't...
ps4 and xbox one will do fine.
Bringing a game over should be simple as I can just log into my account and play with him or her, but I hardly lent games to begin with anyways. As a college student, we lent games all the time between dorm rooms, but now I don't borrow or lend games anymore.
For me, it's a small issue, so that's not really anything I'm looking to complain over.
Well, my family enjoys kinect games and using kinect for navigation, so kinect 2 with an overhaul is a plus for me.
No BC? Well..I plan on keeping my xbox 360, so that really doesn't matter to me. Besides, after a few months of owning a ps3 and xbox 360, I don't think I've ever gone back to playing ps2 or xbox games. So, even if it had BC, I still wouldn't care much.
And the used games thing? I rarely buy used games. I purchase most n...
but it isn't?
Of course YOU'RE going to like the ps4 version better... :/
I still can't understand why these 'journalists' can't comprehend microsoft's original statement when they said that the xbox reveal even is about the hardware and the features and the e3 event is about the games.
Sure, if they don't show the games at e3 or if you just clearly didn't understand microsoft's original statement, then an opinion piece like this would make sense or even acceptable, but why write something like this now??
no, they really haven't.
all they've stated is that they won't block used games and that it will be up to the publisher to decide on that- that could mean several different things and could lead to many different scenarios.
and microsoft isn't blocking used game sales either.
edit: well, most people on here are still wondering whether or not sony is going to be introducing used game fees or something similar to what microsoft has in ...
I'd rather have up-front and honest company representatives rather than ones who remain silent and say the least possible things to say about something like used games or drm.
Hmm, well, first off, there are privacy options for Kinect and I'm not really believing that whole 'Kinect is a spy device' theory. You can believe that stuff if you want, but I don't.
And the 24 hour thing- they said that's just a possibility and also, I'm not in an area where I lack internet.
And borrowing games? I barely borrowed or lent games before, so I don't really care.
So...yes, I don't mind those things.
but how many of those buyers actually care about drm and whatnot?
I'd say the people online making demands is a small voice compared to your average person who happens to like games.
