I never thought there was anything wrong in the past with regards to how Sony, Nintedo, and MS competed. You don't have to praise or detract from your competitors efforts. Phil goes about the task of focusing on his program with the Xbox One, but not having blinders on with regards to Sony's PS4.
If we have all really been paying attention. MS turn around happened right after the Xbox One reveal in May 2013. They stated that E3 2013 would be all about games, and they ...
Looking forward to more.
I agree...
Damn, Turn 10 delivered two Forza games at 1080 and 60fps improving themselves in the process. Forza is just an impressive racing franchise. I love Gran Turisimo so having both, alongside Project Cars makes me a happy racing game genre fan. I can't wait to see what the next Gran Turismo is like on the PS4.
Sony's position with the PS4 can't be matched or beat in a single season. I don't think that's Microsoft's goal with the Xbox One. Xbox One is now positioned well past it's perception woes from launch now to offer gamers a full console that is showing that it is progressive in every aspect going into holiday 2015.
The most Microsoft can hope to do is convert those on the sideline away from the narrative that the Xbox One is not a platform to purchase. ...
@genuineuser, yes you listed features. You didn't list the platforms growth and evolution of those features that compare to how transformative the Xbox One has been doing; which is the topic of discussion. Both consoles launched with features that the other did not have early on. Xbox One has continued that month to month. Showcasing drastic transitions that you don't see on the PS4 platform.
The Xbox One Elite controller expands on the features that the current Xbox ...
Dope
Genuine, most of what you listed was announced day one of the Playstation 4. Some of what you listed are not features, but part of the systems OS such as power usage, and faster game installations. A currently faster UI and things like streaming a selection of old games on PSN is not the same as evolving them. Xbox 360 backwards compatibity is an evolution compared to your streaming point. All accounts show gamers favoring that more than paying for titles they own to be streamed.
This indie title impressed. Totally encouraged by the games scale, and production for an indie title. Definitely one to watch.
Oddly enough I think the pressure is now on Sony to deliver features that really make the PS4 evolve for this generation.
The Xbox One is getting more feature rich by the day.
New UI
Cloud Tech shown with real gameplay in Crackdown 3
A clear robust and formidable exclusive games line-up
Backwards Compatibility
Over Air DVR
Windows 10
Xbox One to PC Streaming
Xbox One Elite Controller

I don't want to disparage the author, because I know how hard, but fun it is to write or make a video about gaming. It takes a level effort that you have to be passionate about. At the same time you have to understand that there is equal passion from the audience you are speaking to.
He acknowledged he was a fan, and that there would be people who get upset. Where he misstep ( I won't use fail, because you got people talking, and ultimately that's where you win) i...
That's the thing the reason why there is a section of the gaming community wanting a New SEGA system isn't predicated on a console itself. It's predicated on what SEGA has been to gaming.
I agree the Genesis is the most successful console Sega created. It's because they took Nintendo seriously, and had their entire company on board. Sega's internal problems hurt the console side because they were so successful as an arcade gaming company. Their best studio...
The problem with the author's entire premise is that he's only talking about Sega from a console perspective.
Sega was the best, and to this day prolific game publisher in terms of original IP. That is both on console and in the arcades. Sega was also the pioneer of many of today's biggest genre's of gaming. Add to that the most innovative in terms of use of technology, game design, and experiental marketing. The last one in terms of customize gaming experienc...
The $10 million may or may not be accurate. What is relevant is how the gaming community tends to aim to make Microsoft the bad for a practice of paying for exclusivity for generations. The fact that Street Fighter 5 has not garnered the same level of indignation against Capcom and Sony for a franchise that has been around longer than Tomb Raider. Gives me less ambition to even care about whether or not gamers are being locked out.
You either care about all gamers across the...
This article is the perfect example of how we as fans are the reason in gaming for our own headaches, and self deprecating wants. You see for as long as I can remember in gaming originality was the fuel that pushed this industry forward. In that it never mattered if a game was first party, or third party. Out of this organic push came some of the worlds best generations of gaming.
When Crystal Dynamics created the first Tomb Raider it was meant to be an exclusive title on a S...
Yes...Yes they have made a profit. Google is your friend.
The Ole RROD argument...You don't have to pick a side to see that this clearly was a non issue. I never understood how people could discount a company spending a BILLION dollars on something so you can return and get your item back for free!
We never get/got a defense of YLOD, and Sony NOT HAVING A WARRANTY at all in place. How did Sony the company manage to account for those loses or gains with this issue in place for the PS3? That's no body respects the RROD argume...
Halo 4 was godly. Hate is a hellava drug...

Sony didn't make a mistake missing Gamescom. Microsoft took advantage of the conference to further push their goal of delivering on their promises that were made to gamers.
The investment of over a Billion dollars in games has been shown with the quality really being something that gamers want. Japan is a waste of time and resources for Xbox branding. TGS is definitely more in favor for Sony's PS4 as they can focus on the Japanese titles they have. It caters to where...
