Well, now that MS is releasing in less territory, more units should be available in those regions.
With MS closing the gap on the price difference, I think MS come back is on course. We even get articles and comments people are switching over. It has only been 2 months since the E3 reveal, going from massive PR hate to acceptance and soon embrace.
" doubt Sony have Microsoft funding and the closer we get, the more thats likely to become apparent." ...
When we naturally all move to digital games, and disc is finally considered stone age technology, the digital polices will not have changed.
That means, Steams pioneered policy of not being able to resell, trade, gift or even lend your games will be available.
MS is the only one attempting to pioneer this, and in order to do that, they *had* to be sure that when you no longer possess your game, you no longer have access to it.
That is the on...
That is what platform agnostic means. Basically it means the character profile is platform "independent".
One character profile and you can move it to any platform.
@abzdine:
I find it funny, Sony just finally announced their release date so "MS is being disrespectful for not announcing their date yet"!
Wonder if you would have said that 1 or 2 days ago!!!
Then again, it is you and we know your agenda!
I think now that the dust is settling, content and features are starting to win over.
That said, it is interresting because it seems Sony is not on track with their software. The launch lineup is mostly smaller indie games. Supposed AAA games like Driveclub was only 35% complete at E3. Somehow this is to be completed, tested, refined and go gold for production by November 15?
Oh, they are also aiming for 60fps!
The only FPS affects visuals are what you will gain or loose in graphcs, when upping or lowering the FPS.
So aiming for 60 fps, when the game is around 30 fps, means visuals will stay at best what it is (unlikely) or drop significant graphics.
@KiLLUMiNATi_89:
It certainly looks like it will be.
After all, at E3, the game was reported to be 35% complete! o_0
So in about 4 months, the studio is to go from less than half developed to testing, re-iterating, then alpha, then beta and finally release with polish and 60 fps.
In the meanwhile, the game has barely been shown, features barely discussed, and all the talk is about 60fps aim, which is the industry standard for...
I think Sony's comment is exactly what is the problem with Sony.
They consistently stick with their plan, and don't react to feedback. Instead, they are proud of it.
However, if you look at their product line. It took them over a year to react to the slow sales of the PS Vita or the overcharging of their memory card.
Remember the PS3? They rode the entire generation with little changes.
The only time Sony got a hit is...
@JokesOnYou:
PC and Xbox 360 versions are down scaled versions most likely. Similarity doesn't equal equality or superiority.
Most games can be scaled down to fit almost any system.
Most games released today can be scaled down and work on a PS2. It isn't necessarily the same experience though.
@DragonKnight:
Overhyped or underhyped?
Dedicated servers are the holy grail of online gamin...
Remember the comments from Ken Kutaragi, prior to the PS3 release?
PS3 had excellent momentum back then too. This seems to be deja vu!
Don't be upset when the tables are turned.
@falviousuk:
If you can manage to avoid or demote the crap yet keep it easy to publish would be ideal. However, having an open system often means getting a few diamonds in a sea of turds, but the diamonds tend to be humongous.
Right now MS is targeting larger or establish "indie" devs (I call them semi-pro). However, they will open it up like XNA and then the question is, how is MS going to manage the sea of turd from taking over.
@Godmars:
"Some would call that damage control. Something which never would have happened if MS had been better with their messaging."
And some would just call that better value?
Just like how Sony practically throw games at you when you buy PS+.
It is a matter of perspective, but we know your perspective! :D

"@nukeitall
What is the point of announcing AAA titles now and we have to wait until 2015 to play them. "
But the competition are showing tons of AAA games releasing in 2014. In 4 years, there are so many games to play that I almost don't care about new games anymore.
@xHeavYx:
All 4 1 and 1 4 all!
:D
MS will release official drivers, and it likely will work better than anything hacked together. The real support for this controller is on Xbox One with new and improved communication line (better sound on the microphone/headset) and impulse triggers.
If you are on PC, just use the original Xbox 360 controller.
Wasn't Gamescom when Sony was suppose to show the real games?
Yet all we got was indie games that reminds me of the iOS/Android type games.
Sorry, I can get those games on Ouya for far less or even on PC.
Keysentence is "50 multitalented external teams producing exclusive games for PlayStation platforms" which translates to:
50 teams of most likely indies developing games for PS3, PS4 and PS Vita combined!
@Lucreto:
Sony was supposed to show you why you wanted a PS4 with AAA games. Instead we got a bunch of indie games.
Frankly, there are some good indie games, but I rarely put down my money on them. They are the sort of games that kind of compete with Android/iOS type games.
Not my cup of tea.
@zod18:
"Maybe Sony is waiting for VGA to win over the US crowd, or the projects simply aren't ready to be...
So when is Sony going to sell the PS4 based on it's features, games, content and value?
Instead of measuring itself against the Xbox One constantly?
Seems to be a theme. Sony constantly takes a jab at MS and it started way back, when Ken Kutaragi talked smack about the Xbox 360, and followed with Kevin Butler and now this.
Stay classy Sony and sell your product based on the merit of it's value.
Europe traditionally spread out has always been Sony's stronghold. That is why despite MS domination in the UK, the overall summation of all countries in Europe adds up to be about even between MS and Sony.
However, with the FIFA bundle I can see that pendulum swinging a little in MS favor. Especially with the heavy hitting games MS is releasing. If Driveclub is delayed, or plays like sh!t, Sony got an even bigger problem on their hand.
Europe loves their...
