especially electronic companies like Sony and Apple. I've grown up with these brands, and for the most part, I like them and their products and want to see them do well.
I'm lukewarm about Microsoft. They are much like Mike Tyson to me. I like to see him do his thing, but I'm thinking this guy is thug! Plus I know their QA can stink just from their software alone.
That's my opinion. I'm not a fanboy. I'm even more critical of Sony if you are talking television...
you live without an HD television and broadband access, which many still do. Value is very subjective. It is different for everybody.
Now you might be able to say vis a vis hardware that Playstation has more features...? But that ain't a qualitative comparison, so why try.
not capability - Microsoft can do it if anyone can, but it is probably a matter of control. They had the same issues with the now defunct Marvel MMO, which would have been a system seller for me.
With DCUO and Agency, Sony seems to be farther in the MMO console game, but they should be. Although Microsoft is king of software and network services, Sony gave us the MMO.
only have a good track record with the Wii, and that has shown little or no impact on the hardcore audience. All we have is promises and Peter Molyneux, which is again...only flowery promises.
...but it won't end with Microsoft doing better than Sony in any way, I assure you. Nor the opposite. I predict the playing field will be a lot more even between the companies. Naturally this is positive for Sony and negative for Microsoft, but don't get your fanboy panties in a bunch.
Microsoft and Sony both have a clusterf*ck of games coming out next year. Owners of both systems are going to have some great titles - BioShock 2, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Last Guardian, Brink...
Global warming will come true before physical media is extinct.
look tailored and well groomed as well.
If Ken was the creative technical genius, Kaz brings the business acumen. I think this article speaks well on his views of gaming as business and a lifestyle. He's really been saying all the right things lately.
I think he really understands gamers better than his competition. Moreso, he understands his competition better than gamers.
It was like you expressed the words in me but were only deep inner feelings that I couldn't express myself. I felt like I should have wrote it.
What is sad is that he's only a 19 year's old and he talks about sophomores in high school like he's 27. Regardless of age, a troll is a troll.
and with the glut of XBox games in early 2010, the 360 will 'be lauded as being on top again'. Somebody will make the spin regardless of the facts. This BS war ain't over.
I think the best is yet to come with the PS3.
How could a 10 year 'stonner' afford a PS3? With the price cut, they can go after that market now, huh.
shortened.
Shorted is what happens to circuits, not to be confused with sharted, as when you let off wet stinky ones.
GAP membeship has its privleges.
to give me a number, not Gamestop's magazine. Although if there were any bias I would think it would be for the XBox's favor. It's like buying a house where you know something is wrong, but the seller refuses to tell you what it is.
Market research is my living, and I'd love to do market research for the game industry.
both you and Parapraxis.
This sample is likely not representative of consumers as whole, but likely only those who have Gameinformer subscriptions - hardcore gamers, maybe predominantly XBox owner.
Still the magnitude of these percentages relative to one another is still very telling.
10.3 million - 8 million = 2.3 million.
...the value of the 'gaming press' at times.
I thought Bungie was gold with Marathon.
companies have other means of measuring their performance. "Last place" connotates there a direct means of comparing Sony and Microsoft, but it isn't always the case. These companies have different goals and ways of pursuing them.
Golf analogy: These companies are playing the course more than each other. This type of talk is PR for the benefit of sites like N4G.
they didn't comment on rumors and speculation.
Maybe for the chance to smack talk the competition, they'll make an exception?
that was something I didn't expect from Sony, allowing you to upgrade to hard drive of your choosing.
It is an very obvious place too. They definitely weren't trying to hide it like the 360. I wonder if it is still accessible on the Slim.
