I think they want to move a different direction because Battle Royal is so similar.
What made SSB stand out was that it was unique - not saying that 2 melee brawlers can be on the market but Nintendo like to be unique, hence the reason the moved away from the Wii motes because of Move.
Sure ignore the millions of customers who live in 3rd world countries where internet is a luxury.
Lol - Just dont dive into a vault full of gold.
@cstyle - you are correct by saying that MS can build their own cloud gaming service but OnLive holds a large portfolio of cloud gaming patents which includes U.S. patent #7,849,491 which key factor to the patent is low-latency video compression. This technology compresses video content and reduces lag seen onscreen, allowing users to play motion-based games running on servers thousands of miles away without seeing lag.
Some times its cheaper and easier to just buy a company ...
Master Chief sits on the throne of most iconic video game character ever - followed by Mario,Link and Cloud.
When Master Chief dies in the Halo universe, I hope Obama declares it a national holiday in the USA and constructs a 50 ft statue of the chief in Washington.
@shutup - Are any of Sony's exclusives on PC?
Sony will makes this exclusives to The Vita, PS3, Sony TV's.
"Sony aint even relevant to the article." tell that to the trolls above.
2019 release date would have been nice but then Gabe would not have anything to troll us with.
Google is the new Microsoft. Microsoft is the new Apple. Apple.....well, Apple died when Jobs did.
Xbox is no longer an individual device name. Xbox is now the name of their entertainment platform. Their devices will be Xbox "whatever" to differentiate it as a specific Xbox device, but the Xbox isn't the device, it's the platform that surrounds it.
So your saying that this game will release in 2013? Becuse I think the XBox 720 and PS4 should be released around 2014.
@Gatormatt - powerful cutting edge Technology is not cheap and Sony has proven that they do not hold back on any ot there hardware look at the Vita or Bravia tv's those things are beast.
BItby -Yes Sony is profiting but they also lost a large amount of potential customers from the Wii U and 360.
So Sony wants to prove to Nintendo that they can release a beast of a console that would make the Wii U look inferior and price it at $599.99
I dont think that worked out well with the PS3 vs the Wii and I think Ninty would love for Sony to repeat history.
299...what the hell kind of specs do think you can get with that price?
LMAO....UBI trying to get some media attention by trying to make an argument that does not even excise.
We can see the Splinter Cell never was or never will be anything like COD...the only similarities they have is that have soldiers in them...I mean SC is a TPS for crying out loud.
Is this what gaming has come to? Where everyone in the gaming industry is trying to catch up to COD and try to steal some of it thunder.
Implying that your good i...
For someone who has a Mass Effect avatar, you should not be so quick to criticize.
So many rumors and so called leaks......what next NFL on XBox LIVE....PLZZZZZZZZZ MAKE THIS HAPPEN MS!!!!!!!!!
Why not? Would you rather have it as a stand alone item and pay extra for it.
We do not know what Kinect V2 specs will be like or if MS decides to add a navigational controller of some sort to it. Plus having a camera on your 360 can be very helpful with SKYPE so if you dont want to buy and play Kinect games you can always u can always use it to chat.
B4 E3 rumors were flying around about Sony buying Onlive or Gaikai and never did I see a comment like yours, in fact it was the opposite.
Plus notice how the 720 will have Blu Rey....that means that MS wont go 100% cloud gaming.
I am not a huge MGS fan but I did love MGS4 but just wish that there was more gameplay than cut scenes - I remember getting into the mission only to have a cut scene every 10 min.
I understand that true MGS fans are use to this and dont care but the point of video games is to actually play them and not watch.
