GT5 and Forza are both exclusives for the respective systems at hand. I think Forza guys are egging on the GT5 folks to further delay the release of GT5.

To wit, they are emphasizing some features that Forza has which GT5 does not and continually bashing GT5 over the head with the said feature sets. I believe they are doing this to goad GT5 folks into putting these features into their own game. To claim the "Best" title.

The single reason for doing t...

3D spatial mapping with head tracking will be a good bonus to have. Very doable now without the silly looking wiimote-on-helmet contraption.

I have periphery knowledge about CV (computer vision) matter so my comments should be taken as such (i.e. more weight than someone w/o any and less than an expert in the field).

MS is the acknowledged leader in CV algorithms. They've been working on this problem (and it is a very large and very complex one) for the last 7 years at least. They have such a huge lead in the field that IBM has given up on the field altogether and turned out their code to open source.

Pretty good demo really.

Seems like this style is a hold over from the olden days when you didn't have enough graphic prowess and CPU to do live combat.

Sure D&D is fun but take out the human-human interaction and all you have left over is button mashing on time delay without the visceral feedback.

Then why not just download the whole binary to the local machine superfast like and just have it play locally? In other words, superfast digital downloads.

Seems like a really really inefficient way to do gaming.

Maybe we can all drive MS to extinction like we did with GM/Chrysler/Ford.

Then we can all relish our servitude under our foreign overlords

We love you Sony!!!! I wil sell my firstborn for you Sony!!!

Americans for America. Yes, this is nakedly nationalistic. Why not? Japanese aren't ashamed of being nationalistic. In Japan, consumers who purchase non-Japanese products are often treated with curiosity and disdane.

I'm not saying this is bad behavior, only that it is self serving. In this highly competitive global economy, why not be a little bit more self-serving and save your neighbor's \ countryman's job. They might just return the favor and save yours in the futur...

Perhaps you don't understand the business of console business all that well. Most of the big $$$ comes to the console companies in the form of software sales. This money goes to MS and dev houses and variety of retail stores.

$$ to MS means $$ to employees and shareholders of MS.

$$ to Sony or NIN means $$ to employees and shareholder of Sony.

I have no problems with shareholders in either country. However, I want AMERICAN employees of AMERICAN...

I'm glad you told me I bought an XBox MAINLY because it is an American product, because you know, I thought it was one of many reasons.

You just made my point again with the XBox bashing.

Japanese don't seem to mind supporting their own country's products over those originating from other countries. How about we Americans do the same for American products?

Since when did this become not even an issue? Nowadays it seems like supporting our own country's products for its own sake has become radioactive.

I'd understand the consumers if there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between the quality or price but for XBox vs. PS3 vs. Wii, there's barely any di...

It is obvious that you've not tried XBox-Netflix integration. The moment you try it, you will stop the nitpicking.

It. Just. Works. Try. It.

1) torrents from Pirate Bay
2) hello Hulu
3) Netflix integration with XBox
4) Youtube
5) Youtube on IPhone

You're telling me that this doesn't mean anything? You've got blinders on, or no internet connection (I guess that means the same thing now a days).

Just don't bring up sexuality at all so that as a parent, I don't feel like I have to filter for content. It's one thing to just mute an idiot spouting nonsense on a Live mike, it's definitely another to be told continually that a lesbian just killed you, over and over again.

Believe me as a parent, if I have to filter for stuff like this, Live gets cancelled the next day.

This is just pure speculation on their part. I guess they want to start a rumour or something. Like the Wendy's commercial: Where's the beef?

but who cares, right. They're evil 'cause I read it on the internets.
