Pure numbers do lie.
This Xbox vs Playstation thing is the console equivalent of iPhone vs "Top" Android device that has been going on forever. Just looking at specs, anybody and their mother would pick Top Tier Androids hands down. Most of them have double the RAM, double the cores, some have double the res even! But that is definitely not what the actual experience with these devices convey. Software under the right circumstances can and will trump hard numbers.
There is a reason why MS hasnt shown any XONE games that are Kinect only- Kinect isnt a killer app for Games and their current stance supports it.
But it's a killer app for TV.
That's why its bundlled in with the system, cause the system is a media center too. And I think there wont be anything to match that experience from anyone else around. If you've tried a similar setup you know what I'm talking about. No need to find remotes, point at ...
You know how important BC is? You've invested close to 3/4 of a decade on your respective Live/PSN account in d/l games and content, and then you're asked to throw them all away while you continue using your SAME account on the next box. Then if you're developer you have to choose making 2 versions of your game, for the "same" network, if you want to make money, with different architecture each time. So, in effect, the company that figures out how to allow me too keep my...
"You say the Move has some plus and some minus of the Wii-mote. Do you care to explain that?"
-Plus's and minus's - It looks like the Wii. As a product- when people hold it, use it, whatever. Plus's - it's a proven control scheme. If you like the Wii you'll probably like the Move. Minus's - everybody's gut reaction is it looks like a Wii clone, that's more expensive. That's all, not saying that the minus's are any big deal or for that matter the plus's.
It would be weak tech if they hadn't figured out the lighting problem. But they did and infrared solved that issue pretty quickly.
I'm sorry, but if you're not part of the flame wars, trying to speculate how the Move and Natal are going to be always end up in the same places: the Move looks like Sony's version of the wii (lots of plus's and minus's) and Natal looks like a videogame system from a sci-fi film. And just based on those deferent marketing approaches, Microsfts prod...
Metacritic has it currently at 92. You can disagree with IGN, or Gamespot, or more so EDGE, but at the end of the day they gave it a 93(IGN), which is excelent, and obviously everyone praises it's epic graphics. But metacritic shows that everyone didnt think it deserved more than that- not just IGN.
What realy is going on though in these forums is that the PS3 has some titles that give it the edge graphically over the 360, so fans equate graphics with final score- so game with...
Hilarious! They actually rated it higher then what it's averaging on Metacritic... obviously paid off by- well... somebody paid them to write that review.
Seriously, you replied with that comment?
Yeah, but if you're not a German in Germany, it's kind of a bullshit article, as in it's sensationalizing something that I, and every other country including Germany don't really find that shocking- another violent FPS being censored in Deutschland, when there was talk of it potentially not being. The bullshit part of the article being the argument, that Activision are liars. Wow, liars?
I mean, it's written like a freakn tragedy, like it's a cover up or something. Like the trust...
The problem with the article is the title. "Dominating" is such a bullshit word to use in this instance and all it does is cast the article in an amateuristic light. LIVE is a better experience than PSN but "dominating" is just flame-bait.
On the subject, -experience- and -features- shouldn't be confused. PSN has come a long way matching features of LIVE, but when it comes to the experience, LIVE is the more cohesive, uniform and integrated experience out of ...
Oh c'mon, are you serious? What kind of argument is that? You can mute whoever you don't want to hear. Been there since the beginning. Click on the bastards profile and mute him. Can't believe you're trying to find fault in bundling a freaking headset with a system- one of the things you'd need for a kick ass online experience.
Don't guide anyone with that logic. How is it any different saying the XBOX is in short supply cause its been splitting its supply all around the world for the last 2 weeks, thus US sales could be better?
The playstation had a week of sales with no competitors and only in one region.
The XBOX had brand new competition buzz it had to fight as well a release in 13 countries.
The only place the PS4 has a clear, mile head advantage is in thes...
