As much as I am in to bashing MS for their practices lately this isn’t true and the full Twitter exchange explains that console is indeed re-sellable, the initial question wasn't phrased very well.

De-bunked on Noegaf already.

...because of mainstream media and misinformation!

Whatever it is, it won’t be because of a sound logical conclusion - which would lead one to understand what MS are really attempting to do (I wouldn’t be surprised at all if in the time that follows they try to bring everything that is Windows in to the living room in the guise of a ‘gaming’ console).

I hope that the 'average Jo' can see through the PR and adjust their choices accordingly though at th...

T'is indeed, no mistaking who the kings of the handheld are!

Doesn’t stop me wanting a Vita though, especially given how many PS+ title’s I already have for it. Expect an imminent +1 in the Vita numbers! :)

lol.. Even based on these figures (albeit unreliable) the PS3 is set to outsell the Xbox 360 by over 500k a year and that’s not including the R.O.W, and we know who excels there! :)

Weekly hardware (US / Europe combined)
X360 78,396
PS3 88,125

Difference: 9,729 (in PS3's favour)

No surprise really, the trend just continues...

XBone, the only box you need in your living room, well except for a cable box, AV reciver or Surround Sound and an Xbox 360/Mini for BC....

<< this is why MS think they sell 100m XBox's.. because the XBone isn't they ony box you need!!!

The sad fact is the general public, due partly to the mainstream media, will eat this up like The Emperor's New Clothes!..

Boobidge!..

@Qrphe if they're dynamically lit boobs... I'm in lol!

On subject... am still not sure! RE 'was' one of my, and indeed my wifes, favourite franchises but that seems to have withered somewhat in recent times. :/

Not reading... not reading... not reading!

I'll be ignoring all TLoU news / threads till I've played the game now!

@shadow2797 If you were sitting still you wouldn't sense depth from this 'traking' method as you would sitting still watching a 3D film or 3D Picture on a 3D TV.

Real 3D: Each eye recieves a slightly different image giving a sense of depth. (This is also true of 'actual objects in a three-dimensional space' with each eye seeing a slightly different image)

Tracking: Each eye recieves same image so no sense of depth, however when you move yo...

Looks kind of cool, though I do see the following problems:-

A) The effect can only be seen by the 'single' person being tracked.
-Not so bad if you tend to game alone admittedly.

B) It's not 3D unless you move, i.e. you wouldn't see depth if you were sitting still like you would for 3D content on a 3D TV!
-Generally when I'm navigating a UI or playing a game I do so without wobbling my head about all over the place! :/

They are!

You try getting the type of graphics seen in Unchartered 3, Killzone 3, The Last of us, Beyond: Two Souls etc running on 2005 PC hardware with only 512mb of memory (not just GPU memory but GPU + System memory), I think you’d find that even if such a PC could run the games at all (which I doubt) it would be running them at like 10-15fps!..

Now if devs can do all that with just 512mb of total memory imagine what they can do with 4gb of GDDR5 or 8bg of...

Intrigued is a good place to start, that's what I am.

New IP's are the life source of the gaming industry, we can't just live off sequels forever (even if they are good).

Lier...!!! (the circularity of that hurts my brain)

4762d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

lol how does this person 'know' that what I know about the 8th generation is a Lie?

You can't call rumor a lie.. until the consoles are released everything is just conjecture and I think I and most people 'know' this!

No.. its the '.gif' which makes the first link redirect to the main page, but the second link will eventually throw up an error even though it may seem or say its 'redirecting'.

Lol 127m people vs. 37m but whatever!..

America is of course the centre of this flat world we all live on.. at least that's what the great American marketing machine would have us believe.

Errm.. BBC (UK) everyone pays for it via their TV license.. and wouldn't you know.. NO ADS!

Ads provide revenue to broadcasters who don’t earn money directly from their viewers / listener, in a similar manner to ‘free’ IOS and Android games. Why do MS think they can get away with serving up ads on a paid service, thereby getting two revenue streams?!?!

Difficult I'll agree, but do I think it'll live up to it,... God Yes!

Colour me hyped!

I half agree re rumors but im not sure Microsoft's investors would agree.

Windows is Microsoft's biggest earner and in light of PC's decline (like it or not it lits true-and that's coming from a PC gamer with 4 homebuilds under his belt), and the increase in demand and use of Android and IOS for people's day to day needs, they need to make PC and Windows mainstream and what better way to do than to bring in to the front room as an all in wonder box?

Or to summarise…. GAMES!

Agreed!
