Wow, people act like 1% of MS is nothing. 1% of MS is 2 Billion dollars. If you spend a dollar every second, it would take you what? 60 something years to get 2 Billion.

More importantly, 1% Stake is enough to make them top 15 investors in MS. Bill gates is at 6% and Balmer is at 4%. They do have influence. You guys play sales, but don't understand the significance of this. Sad.

So sad that Xbox people have to resort to terms twisting to get "exclusives" on their game list.

MS already lost the rest of the world. Maybe it can retain a majority in America. As we all know in the global market and American elections. Holding a single biggest territory doesn't mean jack if you lost all the rest.

Confirmed as TRUTHFACT already that Xbone is having yield issues with a nearly 100% accuracy record from insider CBoaT. In order to achieve this supposed 3 to 1 against Sony, MS options are: A) To throw ridiculous amount of money to brute force the yield % and suffer heavy loss rates in manufacturing chips. B) Down clocking their APU to increase yield % resulting ...

Free to play model or any MMO for that matter just doesn't work well on XBL. MS insists that the player population be separated. IE, Xbox players cannot play with PC's or PS2/PS3/PS4 players. So, who is going to pay for that extra servers that the MMO developers have to set up for Xbox users only? The developers obviously. In addition to that, the player population is going to be low relative to the combined player base if it is Xbox players only on a server.

Have been known for a while now. And it is an advantage, not a negative.

According to Cerny, PS4 addresses the hiccups that can come from the communication between CPU, GPU, and RAM in a traditional PC. "A typical PC GPU has two buses," Cerny told Gamasutra in a very detailed technical write-up. "...

I have been having a blast on PS2 since Beta. Nothing beats Planetside in term of gigantic epic battles. Every fight nowadays is like a cutscene in other games. I can't go back to those small FPS anymore.

Sure, it got bugs and balancing nuances here and there. However, the bugs are always being ironed out and the balancing changes is always part of the fun. Enjoy OP stuff while you can cause they patch and balance them really quick. Haha.

The only thing I can think of for Kinect use in MMOs is for the emotion recognition. Let's say in FFXIV, you can laugh in real life and then kinect detects that and your character laughs in game. Or you fall asleep playing and kinect showing your player character dozing off. Other than that, Kinect as a control input is a burden to the game. A novelty at best.

I highly suspect that the reddit AMA from the OS dev is officially sanctioned in some way. If the dev truly want to be anonymous and elusive , he should be more like CBoaT who proven to have near 100% accuracy* while keeping his/her affiliation a mystery. Otherwise, this is just another MS obvious and cheap attempt at astroturfing on reddit. However, got to give them the kudos that this is the most effective PR they have done to date compared to the total train wreck of a PR lately.

You don't put someone unproven at the head of the department. That's like putting an inexperienced pilot at the cockpit of a billion dollar stealth fighter plane and see what the pilot can do for the lulz. No, that's stupid. You put somebody who flew numerous missions and have a proven track record. In the same analogy, they are putting an inexperienced person at the head of a billion dollar department within MS.

No wonder Xbone do nothing but crash and burn late...

Futile and ill conceived effort. The average Japanese don't have floor space for Kinect to work optimally. Every Japanese hardware maker have to account for compact designs that will fit in the average Japanese home. Sony PS4 is certainly designed with that in mind. Making Kinect mandatory makes absolutely no sense in Japan.

People are angry because the re-release is completely half - assed with crappy MIDI music and built in online DRM for a SP game. No, not steam online DRM, but Square Enix proprietary cloud save BS. You have to log into steam, then log into Square Enix's own system. Twice. That is why people are angry.

I believe X1 is called "batsu ichi" in Japan. x, for wrong "batsu". 1 is "ichi". Wrong 1 refers to people who divorce once and it is not meant as a complement. Even Japan thinks the name is stupid.

I am highly suspicious of Foxgod. He's on every article and doing damage control for MS. He's probably a part of MS astroturfing and reputation management team.

PS2 + PS2 = PS4

Recall the awesome era of PS2? Expect twice of that.

Greatness awaits!

Once again, MS shows that they are incapable of designing decent hardware.

PS4 is 50% more powerful GPU.

65% smaller in volume compared to Xbone.
-WITH an Internal Power Supply Unit for the PS4 to boot. Xbone is confirmed to have an external power brick. OMG.

More expensive 8 GB GDDR5 in PS4.

Ultimately, the PS4 is $100/£80 cheaper.

WTF is MS doing? Did they outsourced the design to China? Or di...

I am very excited for Titan Fall. It's been forever since I play a good Mech + Infantry combat game. However XBO and EA Origin are kind of a boner kill.
