Blow didn't have the greatest experience working with Microsoft. This is a key area they have to start dealing with. Nintendo used to be difficult to deal with and are trying to turn things around.
I'm glad The Witness will come to various platforms but it has been widely known Sony is more open to ideas and working with smaller developers than Microsoft.
His comments also highlight another issue, that is the direction Microsoft is taking in recent ye...
I hope so too. I don't want to be swamped with applications, cable services and advertisents. I want to see something revolutionary. Why does Microsoft have to take Sony's approach? Do we really need both systems trying to go after the same gamer again? I guess it makes sense to since most games come from third party sources.
Many have their doubts about the next Xbox and I don't blame them. They were very aggressive getting Kinect out there but that device has n...
Sony could also. They already support online codes in their own games.
You're right, the PS3 had a lot of down time before you got to actually playing. It looks like they heard the feedback and are really moving forward.
Even with all of his answers in this interview there will be doubt about having to sign in, how freely will we be with used games, will online still be free and so on. Often the interviews get taken out of context, language barriers and his demeanor didn't really help matters since he sounds like he's quite funny and...
I guess they are content with current sales and don't feel the need to give it a much needed boost.
They won't be but it's evident that you can no longer release a system that only caters to the hardcore crowd and expect huge financial returns. The console business used to be a very lucrative deal but now it seems they have to support all kinds of applications and other social revenue sources. Why do you think bluray was such a big deal on the PS3? It was to make sure bluray was the new format which could have trickle down effects for Sony. They also have their hand in the movies, t...
Tell that to Quantic Dream.

mcstorm,
The reason things were so heated between the Xbox and Playstation community is because of how close they are to gamers. People act like Killzone 3 is so much better than Halo 4 on a technical level, same with Forza and Gran Turismo. They aren't. This isn't like a high end PC compred to the PS3 or is it like the Wii to the Xbox 360. It's much more minor. In fact the gap in technical capabilities between the original Xbox and the PS2 were higher. But the pr...
Good to hear. Will try later.
I guess we'll find out later. I know they support having codes to access online for their 1st party games so it's not unreasonable to think they make take things a step further.
As it is right now anything you buy from the store cannot be resold. It's like that on competing platforms as well, and they all want your content to eventually be locked to your account. It's why DLC, Trophies and other incentives are put in place. To keep you logged on.
Hope so.
"Sony will SHOW you what they DOING with cloud gaming and have ACTUAL demos"
Will they be showing it on actual hardware this time?
You see, anyone can make a sarcastic comment and give little jabs here and there but you know who should be doing that? Sony and Microsoft, not gamers.
At E3 prior to the release of the PS3 Sony showed a bunch of CGI trailers and Sorcery was delayed and fell flat after it came out, and now you want to mo...
Septic,
If only everyone shared your maturity this place would be so much better.
Reibooi,
You're preaching to the choir. Microsoft needs a lot of convincing to do to get me to be onboard. I know too well what they have been doing. The point is his (or hers) whole post was one big rant that reeked of immaturity and ignorance.
Root,
You mean like what happened to the Xbox and how games were dumbed down t...
Me too
TheGamerDood, are you sure?
1. Significantly weaker would be hardware on par with the Wii U. That's unlikely. It may end up being inferior but not likely significantly.
2. We don't know what games Microsoft will have.
3. We also don't know if 50-75% of them will be Kinect garbage.
4. It's also silly to assume the next Xbox will be another RRoD fiasco. They have actually had more time from the Xbox 360 to the n...
It's kind of funny watching them go head to head with one another. The Xbox 360 had the better operating system and made online easy and unified. Sony had the better hardware and the more diverse exclusives. Now it looks like Sony is closing the gap and moving ahead of Microsoft in three key areas, online experiences, smoother and quicker start-up times, and having a system that is tailored for game development with no headaches.
So now Microsoft has to go toe to toe with...
Why are people agreeing with you? You make us Sony fans look bad. You know nothing about the next Xbox, just like me. Only rumors.
As we can see the next gen of console wars is already kicking into high gear.
Why show your whole hand early? I think this event showed more than what many expected. I expect all the details at E3, including pricing.
"If you don't want to be social then stop posting your articles on a social site like N4G."
That's like saying if you don't like Microsoft then stop talking about them and posting in articles about them.
I like how everyone assumes they lost their core audience. Why, because Sony has about 4 extra hardcore titles per year all of the sudden the PS3 is a hardcore platform? Lets get serious, the same Call of Duty fans on the PS3 dominating that platform are also doing the same on the Xbox 360. Software sales each month shows first hand what hardcore gamers are buying and when you go down the list they are awfully familiar each month. It's because most games on each system are multiplatform. ...
