What is really, really a serious problem for the Xone: (Globally) In the week ending Feb 1st it sold only 1800 more units than the PS3.

That isn't a typo. It only outsold the PS3 by 1800 units. The PS4 outsold the X1 by 100,000 globally that week.

Listen, I have SONY products, and I have never owned an Xbox, BUT,

A) I don't think this is good for gaming. I think a healthy competition by two consoles is imperative for there to be great gaming.

B) How can they get Forza to go 1080p 60fps? Honestly, that is the best looking game on the system, so they must be doing something. They need to share it with the devs because this is just getting sad.

Also, it is nice to see no more gimp...

@new

Are you sure about that? Do you really want people with no interest in our passion coming here and telling you that you are going to hell because you play video games?

Do you really want some jerk off of facebook sounding off about how game cause violence? Or call out our hobby and make fun of what we do here?

That is what happens on those other sites. Like I said, Space.com turned off comments.. go look for yourself. Then look at the...

I snowboard. No, it can't be done.

And I don't mean it in that "I can't do it so no one can." I mean it in that, no one would jump into a tree, rip the crap out of their board (and the wax) and then jump to another branch.

Plus, branches aren't solid, they bend, so what would be the point.

I used to belong to Space.com as a member (like here.) And I frequented the site daily (like I do here.) It was amazing. Tons of science articles coupled with a comments section filled with knowledgeable people whose passion was astronomy and the cosmos.

You could ask questions and get wonderful answers. And then, lo, Space.com added Facebook integration. And now, when a scientific study is posted, the comments are filled with the biggest morons claiming all sorts of b...

Whatever you guys do with the comments section PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT implement Facebook (etc) login.

That ruins so many sites because just random people can add whenever they feel like it without any consequences! I love the comment section here. You are responsible for exactly what you say. You get sanctioned if you don't follow the rules.

You are responsible for your own identity and maintaining that. Trolls lose their bubbles quickly. ...

I'm reporting this. ;-P

But honestly, (and I have been here since 29 Aug 2007), the fanboyism can be detrimental. I know that many of the people who frequent the comments section here are positive towards SONY. And while the site itself is not pro SONY, the clientele makes it seem that way.

I am certainly a fan of SONY's gaming. This does not mean I don't own a Windows 7 (64bit) PC. Nor does it mean I want to see the demise of a (division of a...

Yes. This is a day one game for me. Very excited by the new screens.

Well, I did learn something from this. All those "free trials" can be used to add to your own PS+ account?

4499d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

To add to your arguments. I have PS+ AND I am an adult. Ergo, a free game on PS+ that is for Adults is, well, EXACTLY why I have PS+ and a PS4 (and a 3.)

To the idiot writing the article about "why it shouldn't be PS+" Ummm... then don't download it. Problem = solved.

Holy crap! That means the Xbone moved only 22,000 outside the US.

Global sales:
PS4 146,409 (-8%)
XOne 76,995 (-12%)
PS3 67,526 (-9%)

And yes, the PS3 sold only 9000 units short of global X1 sales. This does not bode well for Xbox.

What is even more interesting, is that the PS3 nearly sold as much as the X1... let that sink in for a moment.

The PS4 outsold the X1 worldwide 2:1. The PS3 was outsold by the X1 by 9000 units world wide. World Wide. That doesn't look good for X1.

I knew the movie was going to be good. I just was worried about the Game. I love Marvel Lego, I just wasn't sure this game would live up to that awesomeness. And the awesomeness of the movie... which is awesome. (you'll get it if you have seen the movie.)

Yeah. I just took the kids today. What a blast! Fun for adults as well as the kiddies. Everything is Awesome! Buy an overpriced cup of coffee. $34 please......AWESOME!

Anyway, I was wondering if the game was any good and it looks like that is so. Guess this is my next gaming purchase.

It is fully funded. Any more money just means more game for the gamers. Kickstarter is a risk, but only for people who don't know what they are doing.

Chris Roberts, if you didn't know, is the man behind the wildly popular Wing Commander Series. I know his previous work, so I can trust his current project.

I did the same with Shadowrun Returns, why wouldn't I? They were the originals behind the Genesis and SNES versions.

I did...

Thank you! This is what gaming journalism should aspire to! Investigative reporting, well written prose, thought provoking articles, and no inflammatory headlines or claims.

"Breaucracy" you mean bureaucracy?

And, of course, games never used to be rated. Why should they?
