Polygon have been Microsoft's fans since they were funded $750,000 for their documentary.
They've been out full force saying the difference isn't that bad, or 720p is actually better.
I was concerned as this was one one my initial reasons for not wanting an Xbox until very late into the generation, and if it was restricting used game sales, I would have stuck with my PC this generation.
However good job to Shu for responding to the issue so quickly. One of Microsoft's issues recently is that by the time they respond, the damage is done, and this is something that their PR team should be working on.
Expect you're pooling two companies IPs, none of which are yearly releases, and comparing it to one. CoD is owned by neither Microsoft or Sony.
From last generation, Sony and the PS3 have offered me 3D Dot Game Heroes, Beyond Two Souls, Demons Souls, Dust 514, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Infamous, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Journey, The Last of Us, LittleBigPlanet, MAG, Motorstorm, Resistance, Tokyo Jungle, Sound Shapes, Dragons Crown, Uncharted, The Unfinished Swan, ...
What's with this common misconception with Nintendo fans that not playing on a Nintendo console = FPS fan?
Maybe he wants Demons/Dark Souls 2?
Managed to preorder it from Amazon for £16 before they bumped the price up.
Pretty much a bargain for any R&C game.
Excellently put, as someone who used to be a major Nintendo fan, I find that they rely too much on the character and not the game.
There is common misconception among Nintendo fans that because they do not focus on graphics, story, or even multiplayer, they focus on gameplay and providing actual games for gamers… This is not the case.
Rayman Legends and even Origins have been significantly superior to any Mario platformer. And games like Sound Shapes, or Little Big Pl...

Shu himself said that no one would be banned if this happened on the PS4.
There is no fanboyism here, this shit has actually happened, and it's unacceptable.

He got it legally, Target were the ones who messed up and dispatched it before release date.
This wasn't stolen, nor was it illegally purchased, this was a legal preorder that accidentally arrived earlier.
Yeah, to be honest, European PS+ gets the best Instant Game Collection. I've seen the offers US get, and it's usually a few indie games with one decent title... EU will bash out a constant flow of great titles.
I'm not too bothered because of that.
GLI, I've got a 5-6 year old TV and even I can tell the difference between 720 and 1080p. And that difference is going to be even more noticeable when I buy myself a Panasonic TX-L32E6B for Christmas.
720p/30fps is really unacceptable in 2013, especially since my PC has been capable of 1080p/60fps years in the past.
Cross buy?
@bawse
No, the spec was designed to give the Kinect as much leverage as possible.
Then came the esram solution to significantly bump up the specs to be on par with the competition, at the cost of the system seeing being awkward to develop for.
As much hate as I'll get for saying this, the system was quite literally designed for Kinect first, gaming second.
Matt, you're being foolish. Nintendo's unwillingness to reduce prices of old games or reduce the price of digital (along with no unified account system across their devices) games is one of the reasons I no longer buy Nintendo products.
The issue here is that you cannot trade in digital titles. A stronger push for it allows you to greatly reduce the used game market, which would have otherwise caused a fair amount of potential revenue loss.

Incorrect. There has been a common misconception that the Xbox has a better launch lineup, before praising every game available. Articles like this review the launch without the stupidity.
I don't understand.
It was reported that the PS3 outsold the 360 back in January by 77m vs 76m.
It's enjoyed a tighter grip on the main markets, including Japan (where the 360 fails to sell even 0.5k monthly) and Europe... The only main issue was America, which was reported it overtook on that too.
Now, the PS3 has also included some knock out exclusives over the year, with still more to come... The 360 has had one. And it was Gears.
S...
Minecraft needs a lot of things to be considered acceptable, and the majority of these are only available with mods... Something that consoles don't have.
This is great news, but you're a little late to the party, Microsoft.
The competition did this months ago.

1) Better UI
Buzz. WRONG.
I find XMB better than Metro. Can I claim it's superior? No.
Can say Cinnamon is a better DE than Enlightenment? No.
Can I say I prefer these things, however that does not make it superior? Yes.
Right off the bat the author comes across as a raging idiot who believes his opinion = fact.
In terms of non gaming software, it's on equal ground... Though remember that most non gaming software is hidden behin...
Buy another one and make it look more popular
Games are beautiful in motion last gen, and the PS3 is having a lot more exclusives pumped into it.
If graphical capabilities aren't the end of the world, why not consider a last gen console?
