In no way should they remove it from mandatory purchase. I don't believe they will. I've bought heavily into the PlayStation brand and I will continue to do so come autumn. Obviously this news doesn't concern me as much as it does for some others, but if they removed it from mandatory purchase then it will hurt gamers in general. If Microsoft doesn't see this through then how long will it take for another company to be serious in this field, if ever?
Microsoft has quit...

Come on man, just look up any definition of technology.
My first tech ed teacher taught me this before we learned binary and visual basic.
Sliced bread is technology just as the wheel and quad core processors are.
Yeah this new x86 technology from 1978 is amazing!
Edit: I have nothing against x86. Just pointing out a foolish comment.
Or just the need to index files so it's not slow. The file system and index are what takes that space away. Windows is most famous for it.
A 500 gig hard drive is still a (roughly) 500 gig hard drive. It's not exact because of binary.
Great points. Just to add:
If you run through the list of games on the psn store, you don't see a shortage of indie games or Sony IP/first party games. You see a shortage of big third party games. The only thing a lot of these big publishers want is a better install base. If Sony can get more devices in the hands of end users, then the games faucet will be opened right up.
This shouldn't be too hard as it hasn't had its massive price cut yet (my p...
Yup. I bought my Vita after my Galaxy S3. Now the only gaming my S3 does is be a Wi-Fi hotspot for my Vita.
I never viewed my Samsung as a gaming device. Whenever it starts rendering a game on par with vita, you better not be far from a power source.
Right now my Vita has Dragon's Crown and Killzone: Mercenary beta on it. Call it dead if you want, but my Vita is currently destroying my ps3 for play time.
I wish the beta had come out before Dragon's Crown because I can stop playing it long enough to get KZ beta time in. If I had known it would be like this, then I would have given my key to someone else.
Right now is easily the best time I've seen on my Vita since getting it.
I think the rest of the cake is up for debate, but Naughty Dog is definitely the icing.
I get scared that people who haven't experienced The Last Of Us will either get spoiled or turned off by its massive coverage. It's not hype.
Because I don't want it that bad. I have a Vita and currently it's awesome for my portability needs. Killzone: Mercenary beta and more importantly Dragon's Crown.
I can't justify the purchase of a 3DS for myself for what little I want to play on it.
I'll go with the troll response to the headline question:
1985-1995
Edit: it's just a joke. I keep trying to get my girlfriend to want a 3DS to replace her DSi so I can play it, too. Also, in a few years when WiiU is much cheaper I will probably buy one.

YouTube it if you don't know it. Best piece ever put in a Fallout game imo
Vehicles were great in previous Fallout games. Seriously, when you first find a car and then it's hinted that you can later fix it up to use... you get on that poop. Also, it ran on micro fusion cells a la laser guns. So yes, very expensive and heavy ammo was used for your vehicle.
I want the game to not be Skyrim with guns. I'm not trolling here. I've played the poop out of Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics: BoS, and that terrible ps2/Xbox game Fallout: BoS. <...
Completely agree. A few of these touches would have made Just Cause 2 a far better game. That said, I still loved it, and to this day it's my only platinum trophy.
Has the blog ever been the choice method of press release for Sony? The blog quite often features third party dev interviews and indie coverage. I doubt it'll be anything major.
History may not be on our side in regards to Naughty Dog and Gamescom, but it may very well happen. Any and all big guns will be pulled out before the consoles launch. The Uncharted 3 team is still hiding in the woodwork.

I don't think you got my point. I was not referring to specs. Nor was I referring to which specific games are available to which specific platforms. My points were:
A) longevity of an install base without fragmented hardware, and
B) PC elitists putting down console gamers
Also, 3 of those 5 games in some form or another were payable on consoles, but I do understand what you meant by it, and there are plenty more of them.
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this.
It's 2013. Obviously, a modern PC will smoke a console when playing something like Battlefield 3.
Go get a PC made when 360/ps3 were and see if it'll even boot the game up.
That was what I was saying. Lack of hardware fragmentation means the hardware will have much more usefulness and lifespan. Everyone knows that. It's why consoles are still relevant.
Edit: I love how you called me a console player instead of just "gamer." I clearly sta...
I didn't think that ever actually happened, and then it did.
Yeah. There should be one OR to rule them all.
I just keep thinking about how cool a game along the lines of resistance would be wearing one of these things and using the move gun. I suppose the same could be said of any shooter, or game even, but something about a massive alien invasion going on all around you would be awesome.
