All you people are writing x1 before it even arrives, all because of the specs. The only way to test this will be the games at the launch and vs the games 6 months after, eg, Forza v GTand the time it takes to make it, don't forget how long it tsked Sony's first to release a quality title the LAST OF US took just unders 4yrs to make, people should remember gaming is big business and many companies would go bust, also many companies would have two tittles release within that time f...
Hey, this is not a direct reply to your comment, I really want to knw where are the full specs for x1, MS has never fully spoken of the specs, did they have more that one spec, because I find it strange the only think people talk about is the ram, esram
Cloud computing let me put it this was, bandwidth is key importance in data tranfer, remember people that software is king, software controls hardware the less hardware works the better the bandwidth.
Ok, u made a good point about PS4 gaika streaming, whatever system we bye in the end it will come down to the $ervices avaiilable. Hardcore gamers are a minority in this world, I can say that I was a hardcore gamer, but I like other things too, with this generation of gaming I found that I played less games but watch more entertainments of my choosing. I have family that live abroad and I use the Kinect to chat with them, which was better than Skype because I used one system. Do people not n...
Please, dont be ass, do you understand the pricing details that Sony, MS and the other publishers have in mind.
1. Say you buy a used game for £/$20 you get home no online code because it a used game, for this was not a problem, i understand that developers and publisher need to be paid but e.g. when you buy a car and then sell it the manufactors do not get a part of that re-sale do they.
2. So you buy a used game go to play it online, but you can&#...
Firstly it's not all about gaming and next gen will see the continuation of this current gen, MS has not for gotten about it's core gamers, Kinect2 is all about the casual gaming which it more profit in MS pocket, see as it made the largest profit out all 3 consoles with it limited IP's. It would be crazy for them not to have a much larger IP porfolio next gen, the money they spent on 343 system is one way of saying they are willing to spend big, Kinect IP's were very limited ...
Yep until one things its not making the money.
@Divineassault
NO ON Sony is not paying him one cent, but he/she is just upset because GOW is all they can return too, a single player game, a very good game, but still after completion it who what left to do. onlike Gears HALO COD. Oh maybe i should'nt mention COD. Then what about GTA out selling the PS3 and this was a PS exclusive. Look no one is aware of what the next Gen has to fully offer, so let just sit back and see. Remember that GT was meant to be a launch title for PS3 ...
You better hold on to your socks and nickers, YES XBOX LIVE was down and back up with 15 -20mins, I was on Netflix when it happen, but can you tell me how long it takes PS network to get back online when it goes down can you, please answer because i can lol, really i can and just to inform you it's never back up in under 12hrs and because your network is free no one was available to help stop the network from been HACKED exposing other gamers credit card deals fir over 6 days. I believe S...
The WII, how do you find the finish line, is it determine but the number of consoles sold the amount of profit gained, the highest sold game on the WII is WIISport. If you agree with this statment then don't bother relying, as WIISport was never a standalone title, it was sold as a package. This title sold the WII to the public. The WII was cheaper and no was as powerful as XBOX or PS3 but it was release within this generation with last generation tech, so do we count it as part of this g...
For every console Sony sold it was selling at a lost every single one. Only last year did the company start making money, When RROD issue appear on the XBOX M$ wrote off $1bn £2.5bn. Do known that within 6 months the XBOX360 had already recovered that cost, Not from software sales but hardware, M$ sent out a message, if it breaks we if it and to tell you truth they stick to there word on all front, system goes down and up within the hour, ie this is why i pay for LIVE. Are you aware that...
Halo 5,Anniversay 2 and Forza next are already confirm as launch titles, Gears will not be a launch but a summer one, it all depends on when the console is released.
Not so this time round, MS partners this time round may well be SAMSUNG or TOSHIBA as SAMSUNG i believe are responsible for building the XBOX 360 (S)SLIM (SAMSUNG relied strong on MS when is came to launching there HDTV.) As MS begins to venture into the hardware production market like Apple. If MS builds the consoles itself we may see some the of the problems return, but i would'nt bother holding my breath on seeing the return of RROD. The bottom line is that M$ and Sony have learnt a gr...
@ Withdreday
What are you on about MS and Google, question how much stock do MS/ Bill Gates owns of Apple, every time a product is sold by APPLE,(MS/BILL GATES) get there cut. Bill Gates did not step aside because he wanted too, he had too, you can't own a large amount of stock from your rival and still maintain total control of your company. ? did Bill Gates ever sell all of his none controlible stock back to Apple when he helped Steve Jobs get them back into business ...
@ All of the above
Bulk in business it is perfectly understood that if you buy in BULK a discount is always part of the deal, so look at it like this.
If Sony buys 100 hdd and get either 2 for 1 that 50 hdd or buy 100 and get 10 or 20 free. This is called buying loyalty. Anyway good luck with your purchase. i just cant wait for 6th November HALO4 MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Take care gamers and may the game be with you keep on gaming.
@ Dant112
Halo 2 server support were closed 2 years ago, a game from the last generation, games from this generation should not be effected by because they can't afford to keep it RUNNING.
@newmonday,
You are looking at it in the wrong way $492 million,(half Billion) is nothing when MS wrote off 1Billion on RROD issue. This is great news. Happy gaming and have a great day
@big-bertha
Are you nuts bruv, firstly and you must understand this. All consoles in the first 2 years are more powerful than a PC/Mac. On the spec side the PC wins hands down no console can match a PC/Mac, WHY because the PC environment changed every 6-8 months why do you think E3 is for, it not just consoles. If you asked a console to produce the work that a PC/Mac can do your console would need replacing it 2-3 times a year. The consoles have the advantage because the hardware sp...
No they won't because the next title that arrives might be Sony exclusive which no one will say anything about until we see the sales figures, then the comments will start.
I look at the xbox as a first person shooter console first then a driving second and adventure and RPG last, Most people like the console because it was the choice format for FPS's most PC gamers joined the xbox platform because of this. what is highest sold game year in and out, FPS. But the point is in the end we need varity, Gamers from the console market have always had this, MS needs to have a game in the limelight that says we are more than just a FPS platform.
Phil Spencer announcement to come tomorrow, I agry MS needs to have more first party dev studios that are the size of 343, and thats between 300 -700 strong studio, one question is are going to create a new IP's. Im looking forward to gamecom
