Absolutely. I originally pre-ordered a PS4 because of the DRM and policies, but once they were lifted I switched my order to X1 since that was my first choice. I like the look and features of the console better. Even though I enjoy my PS3, I think a PS4 IMO is an updated PS3 because I am getting no new features except a share button. The 360 and X1 are clearly different consoles and I like XBL a lot better even though PS+ occasionally gives you free games as long as you remain a subscriber.
Take it back to the early days of gaming and launch XBOX ONE with a pack-in title. That will be the dagger
What's the inevitable? Ummm, no one has won the console war yet, because not ONE DAMN CONSOLE HAS BEEN SOLD. The term is PRE-ORDERED which can be switched at any given time for no amount of money. Secondly, It's 4 months until the first console is sold and any company can do whatever they want at this point. MS doesn't have to change it's price because you're cheap, but they can offer you a pack-in title to sweeten the pot. $100 doesn't break the wallet of a man willin...
So they changed policies before the release of the console and you call it weakness? Sony changed policies and structure before the announcement and you call it LISTENING TO THE GAMER, so I don't understand why we shouldn't label you a fanboy?
If MS listened to the community and removed DRM, forced the resignation of the douche bag that imposed it, offered free games on their online network monthly, and offered a power system with a great bundle of joy...you call tha...
BTW, They are selling Crysis 3 on XBL for $19.99, Prey and Pefrect Dark Zero for $2.99, and Bulletstorm and Mass Effect for $4.99. Left 4 Dead 2 and Witcher 2 are also $9.99. Talk about giving something special to the gamers. If this is an apology, i'm listening
I saw this coming 2 months ago. I smell a forced resignation.
I agree with you. I am sure any of use console owners would love to have a nice rig to play some these games on the highest settings, but that's not the case. Playing on a nice LCD or Plasma is much more appealing than a monitor. Even if your TV has monitor interface you still have a tower to deal with instead of a plug a play console.
Kayoss, it doesn't matter what the rate was it still happened. That's just as ignorant as associating black people with welfare when there's more white people on welfare because of the W/B ratio. The fact is PS3 also had a high failure rate and there's going to be one higher than the other.
Since I am a Sony/MS whore. I am getting both no matter what, so I could care less about who's more powerful than whom. Titan Fall, Killer Instinct, KillZone 4, and Second Son will all be in my library without console predjudice. I pledge allegiance to no one, but the American flag
Titan Fall, Killer Instinct, and Dead Rising 3. PC is not a console. Why do people keep dragging PC gaming in conversations? Do you know the percentage of PC gamers out there? It's so so small that they don't even count them half the time.
Funny how these fanboys like to mention the RRoD but always forget the YLoD. I for one never had a RRoD but suffered 2 YLoD and had to deal with Sony's horrific customer service trying to charge me $150 to fix it. At least MS fixed your RRoD for free, so stop with the nonsense. Every company has their good and bad. You look like children with your biased comments
Now you're over-thinking the comment. NOWHERE in his comment did it say what you said. He said "DK is the first appearance of Mario.." He didnt mention anything about DK being Nintendo's first major hit. Stop thinking for someone else and worry about why you're sounding like a fanboy trying to sugarcoat his ignorance. Also, you don't know what they would do concerning an IP. Miyamoto wasn't part of DKC and Rare made the game NOT Nintendo, so don't think Ninte...
What does Donkey Kong have to do with Mario? Just because Mario was in the original game has nothing to do with the character Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong can be sold without Mario you dummy. If Rare bought the Donkey Kong IP and MS bought it from them then DK would be owned by MS. Learn something. Did you see Mario in Donkey Kong Country? No, so why would one have anything to do with the other? How old are you? It wasn't MS that thought they owned DK, it was some idiot thinking they did beca...
Seriously? No one from the original Rare is there. They gave it to a new team that was ambitious and hungry. Rare had a shot and look what they did to Perfect Dark Zero. They just didnt have what it took to be what they were. Some developers regress and Rare was one of them. Killer Instinct took a long time because of legal issues, it wasn't because of MS. When MS was granted the IP the first thing they did was secure the domain name.
How many Kinect games did you see @ E3?
There's strength in numbers when you play multiplayer. That solo mission shit is not going to work. It's like playing GR:FS all over again. You wander off by yourself and the next thing you know you're getting stunned and hacked exposing the rest of the team. In this game you teammate tries to save you before you bleed out and you expose him to getting killed too. Pure selfishness
People eat bullets with that armor, but arrow shots take u down immediately. Grossly overpowered. Might as well save your points to buy special weapons.
When they are released we will see you dominates the market. Until then all fanboys need to STFU. PS fanboys were spouting the same crap back in 2006 and their ass got handed to them, so lets not get ahead of ourselves. If you compare the N4G community to the rest of the world, your opinions in these forums mean squat. Your sales don't matter just like your support for PS Exclusives. No matter how many of you go out and buy them, a large percentage of them always come up below average on ...
I said the same thing a month ago. Don Mattrick is killing the brand. Peter Moore had more vision and appeal. Don needs to go. I dont want to Xbox fail, but this guy is making them look really bad to the public. I am actually buying an X1 and PS4 at a later date, but I am disappointed with the decisions he has made for the company so far. Phil Harrison is not that much better. He was the douche bag that launched the PS3 and you saw the negative publicity that received as well. Same scenario.....
Guess what system that game is coming out on? 97% of the games will look the same and you will not really see a difference. The only difference will be found on exclusives
