And just some more food for thought:

So... self-admitted lazy devs?
Seriously HM, WTF. At least it's a "freebie."
Don't insult my intelligence, MS.
"Concerned" about potential public backlash is about the extent of it.
Saying "resolution doesn't matter" is a cop-out anyway. The resolution is just a symptom, a symptom of the base power of the console.
Let's just run with the argument for a moment... Fine, resolution doesn't matter. Let's say all games are 720p on both consoles. What that just means is that the PS4 can dedicate those resources elsewhere. So maybe they have resolution parity, but a PS4 version is displaying %50 more NPCs/enemies on the screen... does ...
Factor in the load times for a physical copy, and a digital buyer could be playing faster than a physical buyer that had the disc delivered to their door at midnight on launch.
"We're seeing signs of this Respawn's decision to go exclusive. I don't think Microsoft's check covered the potential sales they would have received on Sony's platforms."
To Respawn's credit, it wasn't their decision to go full exclusive, it was EA's.
There are screens out there of much wider streets.
O rly? Moreso than on Xbox?

What happened to the Xbone having the better launch lineup and exclusives?
BTW... X1 is a Comcast product.
Sorry, I meant "Mr. Guy-Who-Works-for-Industry-Fam ous-Former-Head-of -Developer-of-Most-Popular-FPS -Ever."
"We’ve had to fight tooth and nail to have a game that anyone would even know existed"
Really, Mr. Industry-Famous-Former-Head-of -Developer-of-Most-Popular-FPS -Ever?
Really?
Why would Respawn pay for hype?
That's what MS and EA are for.
Oh, I didn't say I don't love the KZ:SF multiplayer, I just question the claim that the online is "booming."
"Killzone sf online is booming!"
Not sure if serious...
"Selling faster, doesnt mean it will sell more in the long run"
Be sure to pass that note on to MS and Major Nelson:

(though I'm guessing by now they already got the memo)
@Kwiet: Heh... so true. I wasn't too impressed with either machine's launch lineup, but I got a midnight launch PS4 just for the novelty factor. I knew I'd be getting one eventually, and I've never bought a day 1 console, and I'm interested to see how the OS evolves (also interested to see how long my "launch day" console lasts). And I happily just played the freebies until early December when my brother insisted on buying me KZ:SF because he thought it was ridic...
Since MS announced 3mil sold at the end of 2013, you're suggesting they sold 1mil in a month and a half? Even though Jan NPD suggests they only moved about 150k in the US? Mm-kay.
"half the territories"
Yet all the major Xbox markets are represented.
"released 2 weeks later"
Actually, it was only one week later, and that was only in North America. Rest of the world got PS4 one week after the Xbox.

At least CivRev is a good game. First game GfG game I'm jealous of as a PS+ member. It was one of my first PS3 games and I played a fair amount of SP and MP against my roommate. I regret ever trading it in, and I'd love a free digital copy I could install on both my PS3s.
Dungeon Defenders is pretty fun too. I should fire it up again, since I stopped playing due to bugs, and I haven't gotten back to it yet since the patches.
