We are in a technology arena, we can't stand still without pushing boundaries, what was almost possible a year ago is now possible, the only thing that evolves faster than mother nature is technology.
It's takes 2, SENDER to RECEIVERS, bandwidth input output, if your server output is too high then lag and vice versa, this is why MS said they are working with the partners to create technical that will help to balance bandwidth issues.
You mention game as a service, what's wrong with that, let's look at it this way, take Spider-Man game it better had sell 80mil, because God of war hasn't, because the hardcore gamers have it and the others are waiting for it to go down in price, now with games as a service you are spending less and you have a choice of owning the game, how many games can you completely in a month via games as a service vs how games you buy in a month and complete what's the total cost. On gam...
@thundercat77 and Theundertaker85, you both have a point, but isn't that what MS has been working towards a technology and software that is low on bandwidth, that would allow connection no matter your internet speed, i could swear blind that's one of the goals which Phil Spencer mentioned in a interview, ( Technology that allows flawless connection no matter the internet speed)
They did and do have it figured out, but where are all the games that where to run on it.
ALWAYS ONLINE, I wish they had kept it, i hate having to sit around waiting for on a update on a game i want to play, at least with the always online it would have been faster.
So all you PlayStation owners don't want to cross play in a game of COD or Battlefield, let's see which console has the best multiplayer shooter games, i can guarantee the trophy 🏆 would go to Xbox gamers, i believe this is the main problem facing Sony, there Server can't compete end of excuses and of all this side stepping crap, give the options allow developers to create the option and let the gamers decide , we are all competitive but we have those gamers who only play ...
Let me try to enlighten you, MS will release 3 consoles next gen day and date, one will be a streaming box a superior version of the one x that will cost less than $£200, the next one is not a console as such but a app that can be used on any device anywhere and will cost you nothing and the new hardware that will have a 2 version one is more powerful than the streaming box and might cost around $£450 the other one will be match a powerful pc gaming reg, cost might star at $£6-...
I mean in the larger since, of business, Sony only had 3 business focus Electrical hardware and movies, now on the hardware front, Sony has decades of xp in comparison to MS, Sony has been in the gaming drone with Nintendo until Nintendo said no to the PS 1 hard disc drive, and that was 20 years ish before MS came into the gaming console business via the DREAMCAST after that the Xbox was born as a side project, Sony by this time had already established itself as a power house in gaming as the...
MS is a massive company, software is there foundation and gaming is still new to them in some cases, but they always seem to push innovation and of evolve it, look at the Kinect its a big flop because media bios and lack of content, Cortana style voice commands are now everywhere, face it, like it or not MS innovation comes out and gets shot down and yet years later another company give it a trying and it becomes the best thing, and will I'm on this point, MS still wins why because of pat...
Well done
It's looks more like a upgrade in texture and everyone looks that much older clearner.
I believe that the real reason has to do with more than money, it has to do with connectivity, PSN is no match for XBLV when it comes connection, i want crossplay because although i enjoy playing against my XBOX friends i wanna kick so of my PlayStation friends ass in in Tekken or street fighter like back in the good old days. Sony is more concerned about the shares than the people and fans that keep them in business. They recently top the Japan business table and it all down to ps4, which is...
They had no choice, consumers keep a company in business and when you are not doing right by them, they vote with the wallet.
Sorry, but you are wrong, you are so against this because it's MS, so what you are saying you to all us gamers that game pass is crap, look GP, ££/$9.99 100+ games VS any game that you buy at full price £60, you play it for bout hate it now try returning it to the shop, this is where the shop say £20 for it or take another pre owned and £10, so you waste £40 in GP you would already now you don't like the game
Let's wait and see, as it has been made public there was a man that worked for MS that's restricted the finances from Xbox department, now he been removed or sack, i call him, Sony agent LOL, but now Phil and his team have the full backing of MS, let's seen how many more studios get added next E3, this is where the real console war begins, because were Sony was allowed to grow buy and build fantastic studios MS where closing and losing studios, now my MS has catching up to do, cre...
Look the only real reason i see Sony not allowing crossplay, is that the network differences, which is better PSN or LIVE, they might be weakness between the account, i look forward to seeking what Happens when the next gen begins, crossplay at this moment is at the beginning MS and Nintendo are making the connection now and getting ready for next gen, crossplay Tekken or street fighter all gamers always want to prove which is better and Sony is not allowing it, FOR THE PLAYERS, that's ...
Yes Sony is in better position stream sell single player games not multiplayer
This is not a Xbox PlayStation think, it a industry think, crossplay cross progression it easier for third parties, it's not like you are giving away your exclusive, we should have competition, we should be able the challenge each other to a game of COD which platform plays the best, it's hard for consoles to compete against a PC armed with a keyboard and mouse, now console to console yes , the industry wants to progress and technology is at a point where all these things are possible...
