Wait, Sly 4 came out? I'm being serious here I thought it was coming later this month, heard nothing about it the last few days. Now that's sad when a series I enjoy, Sly, comes out with a new game in years and I hear nothing about it, despite the fact I go onto gaming websites constantly everyday (sadly).
Like the people said above, I don't get Sony, their first party studios make these great games, Sony doesn't advertise said games, game sells like shit and...
Here's something interesting, comments from Chipwork's Jim Morrison, the website that donated the Die photo, a professional who analyses photos like this for a living.
"Been reading some of the comments on your thread and have a few of my own to use as you wish.
1. This GPU is custom.
2. If it was based on ATI/AMD or a Radeon-like design, the chip would carry die marks to reflect that. Everybody has to recognize the licensing. It has none...
True, another quote from NeoGaf
"DF article really sounds sensationalist. Why do they come with their own private lose definition of "next-gen" ? Is there a clear barrier between what is next-gen and what isn't ? They avoided to talk about the components in the bottom right of the chip that we don't still know about, and don't think it can influence (greatly) the overall output of the console ?
That's really amateurish."
Was the Gamecube a sixth generation console? Yes.
Was the Wii a seventh generation console? Yes.
Math can be hard sometimes, lord Gaben knows I always struggled with it but if memory serves me right, eight comes after six and seven. So yeah, Wii U is an eighth generation console, well that was simple.
Oh boy, here we go. People are jumping the gun thinking "OH WII U LAST GENERATION CONFIRMED" without realizing we still don't know that much, the GPU is heavily customized so we still don't know anything. Even the people over at NeoGaf think Digital Foundry rushed this article.
For the love of Gabe Newel's perfectly sculpted boy, it's the beginning for February, it's WAY too early for E3 rumors or predictions. I'm still worn out from last years pre E3 hype. Can we wait at least until April at the very earliest.
Need I remind you of 599 US dollars, giant enemy crab hitting the weak point for massive damage and RIIIIIDGE RACERRRR!?
I am one with the wind, the cosmos speak to me, the infinite space ocean has opened up to the world of CDProjektRed, in the middle of this nucleus field is one solid entity, whose solid conciseness has created the ultimate galactic space time warp, everything is one, one is everything, there is no death, there is no sorrow, only one, one body eternally ready.
...Shut up i'm excited for The Witcher 3...
Well that's a bit harsh, your one game didn't sell quite as we hoped so now we'll just leave on the side of the road to die? Maybe give them a second chance on a smaller project? I don't know, even though I wasn't a fan of the game it's sad to see developers close and people lost their jobs, but Sony's been doing this a lot lately. Trim the fat I guess.
I forgot opinions weren't allowed on N4G.
Gamecube and Saturn are still my favorite controllers, but the Wii U is up there.
Love the 360 controller...minus the God awful d-pad.
I'm use to contracts sadly, but still I just want to pay for my system go home and play it without some contract hanging over my head, too much to ask?
As for PC, been gaming on it for a while, and yes there aren't used games on there, there is however Steam sales, glorious Steam sales.

To be fair, I've never heard anyone say Japanese games need to be more like Western games, in fact quite the opposite. The main complaint I heard this gen is that Japanese developers were trying too hard to be like Western developers. Which is fine at times, COD was the big hit this gen and companies wanted on the gravy train and while Japanese devs taking inspiration from Western devs has led to some great games like Dark Souls or Xenoblade, but it&...
Well there's way more people in NA than in Japan so it's no surprise a lot of Japanese games sell better over here, and yeah Muramasa is one of my favorite Wii games.
What hurt Japanese companies bringing games over was the money conversion. With the strong Yen and weak US dollar for example, it costs these companies quite a lot more to bring a game over, but recently the value of the Yen has gone down so expect more localizing.
I said it before and i'll say it again, if the 720 or PS4 block used games or in this case make you pay a monthly fee, i'm out. PC, Wii U, Vita & 3DS will be it for next gen. I mean what if I can't pay for a month, what if I had to use the money elsewhere like food or bills, I can't play my games? What kind of bullshit is that? I wouldn't touch the 720 or PS4 if they did that, anit-consumer shit like that ticks me off. Unless of course the PS4 launches with Jak 4, Lege...
And it's people like you that makes gamers look bad when you defend a piece of plastic like it's your lord and savior.
C'Mon, you really expect people to read the article and not just the out of context headline before posting a paragraph about how Nintendo is behind the times?
Very true, I get the feeling people read the headline, because we both know no one here reads the articles, and jumped on the hate train without realizing how impractical a cloud only game console is in 2013.
Pfft, what's next, a Chun-Li cospayer without abnormally large thighs? What has the world come to....
Oh and this is news worthy Kotaku? Seriously?
