Please read this entire comment before making any rash judgments. I speak from a logical standpoint unrelated to brand bias.
"If i bought a legit copy and wanted to post gameplay... this isnt a free country after? hell i would be in an outrage."
Just because you buy a game doesn't mean it's legitimate. If the company who sold it violates the advertised release date your copy isn't legal until AFTER that date. Also, there are rules and la...
Nice one 1+3=4
I think their biggest advantage started with doing the complete opposite of Microsoft's DRM. That single short sided agenda from Mirosoft swayed public opinion and broke a lot of brand loyalties.
When the announcement was made about Sony's DRM policy people stood up and cheered. So, IMHO that was a huge advantage that set the ball rolling at Sony. Microsoft XB1 policy designers even freaked out.
Yea, instead of bringing the competition down or show superiority from the pre-order numbers. He says stuff like:
We're going to try to do our best not to fail.
That shows a very professional and very humbling outlook. The guy doesn't seem to be spinning the PS4 product and seems honest because of that. It exemplifies a good faith agenda that's committed to doing whats best to expand/succeed.
If there wasn't enough evidence about the known consumer market trends I just might have considered this bias.
As far as I can tell judging by the current public opinion and the gaming communities reactions your opinion represents a majority.
Let's make this simple. If you think PS4 will win AGREE, if you think XB1 will win hit DISAGREE. Having constructive poling is a fun game. It can at least represent the general opinions N4G members who participa...
Don't forget PUBLIC OPINION!
If the community has a love/hate relationship with a company or product it can greatly affect the outcome. As a general rule of thumb one persons opinion may have little relevance in the outcome.
When you have a large group of people saying the same things people will began to think closely alike. I think this term is called the hive thinking not sure though if this directly relates with the gaming community.

My personal view: As long as my rights as a gamer/customer aren't exploited and I can find good games I'm fine.
IMHO: The winner/loser only matters if the one at the top is doing/saying things that hurt the gaming community as a whole.
Having these capabilities can be both good or bad it all depends on how "YOU" want to use "YOUR" system. How much are we willing to sacrifice in performance to get these added toys.
Think of it like a paycheck. You get paid and it's your money to manage. Think of that money as CPU. How you spend it is dependent on needs and luxuries. With a console having a bunch of background features do take resources.
If this amounts to a lot of o...
Have you seen MS agreements and restrictions. Those benefits most likely still come with hidden cost. In most cases the developers lose a lot of rights/control once it hit the market place.
"The new problem is the way the marketplace is handled and their games won't have their own section."
Exactly.
If you've read some of the comments from developers who worked with Microsoft you'd know that they are very strict. Why do ...
"Doesn't the PS4 have some sort of multitasking too?"
Yes. You can hook it up to a TV that has multiple HDML connections including a laptop or TV box. Just switch between the TV inputs and it doesn't cost the PS4 a single CPU cycle. I assume it can do multiple things like background downloading while playing a game. This is great! I wouldn't want it running a bunch background services that use up a lot of system resources. I'd rather the developers h...
Do you think he would've had the same reaction if gamers nicknamed it Xbwon?
XB is Xbox and the ONE is 1 or ONE. XB-ONE if they named the thing XB720 or XB3 like they should have done people would've abbreviated it the same way. The only difference is the number wouldn't have combined with the B to make the word "BONE." Look at these XBThree, XBIII, XB3, or XB720
It all depends on the reaction of the reader. If the writer is recognized...

Most Seniors like games that they grew up with. The new style graphics aren't as attractive to them. If they played Solitaire for entertainment as a kid when technology was limited it might still be entertainment now.
THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS!

"Nelson" has proven that he only says what MS wants him too."
I agree, it's no coincidence that he may have recently joined NeoGaf. He could even be a member on N4G hiding under an assumed name.
His job is to promote the Microsoft products. IMHO Microsoft must be placing him on a few popular forums and news sites to interact/sway people who don't follow/comment on his Twitter feeds.
I honestly think that's a mistak...

I guess that depends, I can't honestly think he would openly say that after the people he doesn't know worked on other Microsoft EXCLUSIVE games.
Could you expect anything less? Fans will be fans and shills will be shills. Every employee with a vested interest in their job isn't going to openly agree with negative facts. They risk their job if they admit fault or talk badly about their company.
Microsoft are doing it all wrong. To get the best of both worlds think harder.
To install a game that runs without disc a special key unique code is needed to activate disc less install. This is printed directly on the physical disc. Only the activated games that are installed to run without the disc have the online DRM requirement.
It's a digital copy ONLY for this account. This could work with their family share system. This insures that each disc is on...
It's games like these that may allow players to recognize or develop skill in the real world. Having the VR part makes it that much more realistic.
I'd love to play a space sim like Privater with something like this because head tracking doesn't limit your visual perspective to your tv screen. IT also allows for a natural sitting cockpit position unlike some motion sensing games.
ROFLAO, So, people wonder why some journalist can't be trusted with unbiased news. For starters this is a fine example of one that didn't even know they was reporting an unrelated company brand with the wrong console.

"Bottom line. Microsoft changed their vision to match the competition. That's not innovation. That's adjustment."
I disagree, they changed their bottom line because their aggressive money making policies caused enough customer backlash to force a restructure/redesign.

More or less it falls under the contract laws that the third party distributor agrees to. If a retailer sells a product before it's launch date that copy isn't considered legitimate until after it's official release date.

IMHO: the company/persons who gave access or sold the product should be at fault first. If a console is banned then the owner of said console should retain some rights. These should include the right to defend themselves of wrongdoing.
