@Majiebeast - NO.
Who could you blame for all the bad PR MS got after the announcement of X1?
Mattrick did not have a clue, and every message was mixed.

Of course Ballmer has some blame, but Matrrick would have influenced any decision.

Can we all get some perspective here!
Friction burn will damage thumbs? lool
Is it not down to how much pressure the user puts on the stick?
or where the position of the thumb on the stick is?

Any way to spin negative news. Lets put it this way, Microsoft had 'COD pros' and COD commentators review the controller.
The machinima guys said "it was the best controller for COD ever"
This chubby guy in the video might have s...

Ballmer has not failed, the entire market has shifted to a different place.
E.g - all PC sales are down, due to the mobile/ tablet market.
Yes MS were a little slow in the tablet arena but the software works great on them now. But they are primarily a software company.

Its easy to call him a failure, but look at Tim cook and apple.
The share prices dropped, but who do you blame?
Actually Samsung/ Android became a big contender hence why apple ...

yea theres nothing wrong with 720p.
Anyone know what sort of FPS it will be running at?
I am hoping 60 but I know its too much to ask for on the ps360

The writer of this is a complete clown.
Im not sure if he is referring to games for windows or what, but he is clearly confused.

@tiffac008 - Its hard to say whether internet connection will be the only factor.
I can see graphics being decoded elsewhere and then being piped to a console, actual computing and calculations are another thing due to the size of the calculations and the speed at which they are made is less likely (At least for now).

cloud based performance is a real thing.
AMD have a graphics server which can encode/ decode locally then send the decoded images to the workstation.
It does work well (I use it as part of my consulting job).
Now - The real question is, will it work with the average internet speeds in the world?
NO.
THe bandwidth required is just not high enough, so yes theory is there.
Practically the speeds required to achieve this will just not support it for...

upload some pictures from it... (That we have not seen).
or a video to many different video hosting sites.

ok..
Three 180s..
Still the rest of my point is valid.

4677d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

i wouldnt say 180 after 180, there have only been 2.
What MS should have done, give users the options.
It would have been good to get users to think about the potential and try entice them to digital games etc..
Forcing it never worked with any company.

If MS said, if you go digital (excluding DRM)you get these bonuses etc..
If you have kinect you get these bonuses..

Obviously ensure the DRM/ privacy is been created with consum...

if there are younger kids, parents can use the privacy settings to make it harder to hear abuse..
i.e - only chat with friends from the friends list etc.

Those safeguards do a decent job i think.

Using real names etc - MS already hand data over to the NSA, it makes it easier to find out who is who from the data sent.

@Abortmission

It will come out for PC, most likely a few months later (as history would suggest).

The next gen consoles again will most likely get a release too probably around the same time as the PC (Its easier to port between PC and next gen consoles).

Take2 will always get rockstar to do that, because its about money too.
Not long after that, we will see the PS vita/ iphone android games too.

I like red dead a lot, but remember how many angry 'gamers' didnt like the ending?

LOOL

lol yeah..
Or just scan the hard drive?

4693d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

they are built on Rage engine I think so they would be similar.
As long as the game runs well I dont think anyone will care.

The only thing I care about is in multiplayer, I hope there is some form of block on modded controllers

MS took a lost of surface RT because they retained too much stock.
Its not even a really 1bn$ loss either because they still hold the stock, as soon as they ship all of them the profit will be made back.

The author Ian Miles Cheong wrote this for hits..
I mean the article says "but it's a good chunk of them" I mean thats only 8 weapons..

Dont forget about the jetpack, different types of grenade, the SMG's and different types of pistols that are likely to be in the game.. (From GTA IV, Max Payne).
Lets not forget the flame thrower, or molitov cocktails..

Many of the weapons I have mentioned are likely to be in the game, becaus...

@Dedicatedtogamers.. Without MS and XBL PSN would not have existed, gamers would not have been playing around the world via a connected service.

MS has done some great things, recently they have been terrible but Sony have been just as bad.

4704d ago 3 agree3 disagreeView comment

Yeah - Its very true Sony have learned from every mistake and event from the current gen.
MS got too cocky plain and simple.

I can only applaud Sony on what they have done, and as a consumer I have got more confidence in Sony than I do with MS.

I do hope MS fix up, but realistically its going to be the hardest fight to win back gamers - and the gen has not even started :/
Oh well, PS4 at launch for me I guess

4707d ago 15 agree1 disagreeView comment

yeah..although many of the devs will know how to make good use of edram.
Maybe not the best, but they might get there.

Sonys approach is pretty interesting, I wonder if they can re-direct the GPU memory into RAM or vice versa
