This actually sums up the competing ideologies behind each company very well. Sony is more open to mature themes and experimental gameplay when publishing games for their console, where the suits at Microsoft don't really like to leave their gaming-by-the-numbers comfort zone. If they can't advertise it on a bag of Doritos, it's a bit too risky.
"The buyout indicates that Microsoft is planning to broaden its influence in the smartphone and tablet market, using Nokia as its flagship resource."
Yeah. So much broadening. http://i.imgur.com/ptpYO5u....
At least Microsoft bought out the company they ruined with exclusivity deals, rather than letting them twist in the wind until bankruptcy.
"...says Major Nelson" is about as reliable as "...says Michael Pachter" these days. Major Switchflip either purposely lies, or he's kept woefully out of the loop with all things Xbox. Considering it's his job to expel PR for the brand, I'm going with the former.
I think MLK would tell you to grow up, get some perspective and stop trivializing real-world racism with nonsense like this. More likely than that, he'd just ignore you and continue fighting actual racism.
Anybody who thinks Microsoft will be delivering the better lineup between the two for years to come must have missed this entire generation. Sony has proven that they have the most robust AAA library year after year while Microsoft coasts by on Halo, Gears, and Forza ad nauseum.
I wish more of the novel characters had made it into ME3, but unfortunately they got a new writer for the 4th book and ruined everything. Things like that are what make me look back on ME3 so negatively. BioWare really shit the bed with the IP in several areas.
The Mass Effect comics are janky, as is Mac Walters' writing in general. The first 3 novels were actually pretty good. Get those if you're looking for good supplemental material.
I can't help but scratch my head at the bonefans who now have ultimate faith in Microsoft's ability to deliver games. Have you been asleep since 2008? They have the worst track record for delivering games. 2007 was the last year that Microsoft had an indisputably superior game lineup. Sony has crushed them every year since, with the exception of 2010, although it has become far less debatable since Mass Effect 2 went to PS3.
The past is prologue, and you've all le...
One of my favorite things about Steam is the robust indie library. I hope console-only gamers can finally have the same experience with the PS4.
SURPRISE! Play TitanFall on PC at our booth!
Yeesh. That looks so bad. Crytek's games have always been little more than glorified tech demos, sporting painfully generic and uninteresting gameplay, but this looks to be without a doubt the worst thing they've ever made.
Yeah, the Microsoft guys just flat-out lie a lot of the time.
You guys sound like Fox News. The MAINSTREAM SONY MEDIA FORCES CONTROL EVERYTHING!
Probably not a landslide. Microsoft will spend billions in misleading advertisement to confuse consumers into buying the XB1.
Pretty much the only thing that will prevent me from getting it. The only game I've bought on Origin is Mass Effect 3, back when that was still like my favorite franchise ever. I have Dead Space 3 and Battlefield 3 on there now cause of that Humble Bundle, but I have no intention of spending anymore money on Origin. I'll just live without it if it's not on Steam.

Consoles have to suffer with Uplay, too? You poor bastards.
"The battle between Call of Duty and Battlefield for supremacy in the shooter market..."
In which world is this battle being waged? CoD smashes BF into the dirt in sales. It's not even close.
You guys should be thanking us for only charging $500. If anything, we're over-delivering in value. These 5 million transistors don't come cheap.
