$400 no problem. $450 with an extra controller and/ or launch title.

That is the exchange rate, but if we look at history, the Japanese price is not often the same. I wouldn't be surprised at $349/£299.

IF it does come out this year I am going to have to take some time off from work.

Since Obama has become President? Try since Eisenhower left office.

Think about this: Since gaming has gone mainstream, murder has decreased in the USA. Our murder rate is currently the same as the 1970s. (fbi.gov)

There actually might be some correlation between the rise in gaming and the lack of killing.

I hadn't read that it was a timed exclusive. Can you provide a link that shows that?

The real problem is that all these "journos" and "politicos" are more interested in "talking points" than actually addressing the true reasons why violence occurs.

The science doesn't back up any of their claims: that violent media creates violent individuals.

Before video games it was Dungeons and Dragons, before that it was books... whatever new media comes along is often pointed at as the culprit.

If violent video games created violent individuals then GTA would have created 10s of millions of violent felons. It did not.

If violent video games created violent individuals then Japan and Canada and Europe would have far more violent felons (seeing as they play the same violent games and watch the same violent media as the US)

I would have sworn, somewhere deep in my comments, that I mentioned that the Motion Control model was best done by Nintendo; SONY was developing it but not making it the "be all" and MS would make a mistake by focusing so much on Kinect.

I hope MS backs off on the Kinect only perspective. If they can't then there is Steambox.

I know I am going to get some fanboy hate here, but "What's Going on with the WiiU?" It is a current gen console. The Wii was last gen or last gen.5. This is current gen.

Nintendo needs to go back and realize a few things: the SNES and NES were amazing machines that had amazing games. They sure as hell didn't push the "family friendly" stuff they do now. Unfortunately that has hurt their rep with people who own consoles generation after gene...

Ok. To an American it sounds Scottish, but Welsh instead. Where is Wales exactly? ;P

Get it. That is all I have to say, you won't be disappointed. I think of it as the spiritual successor to Dragon Quest VIII. There are a lot of gameplay similarities.

@Enigma: I meant the plethora of d&g articles is getting stupid. The articles themselves were always stupid.

Wow. An actual top ten kills video that actually has amazing top 10 kills. Number one is hysterical.

I think it would have better to write: "Stop all the Doom and Gloom Articles"

Lately they are just getting stupid.

(I didn't hit your disagree button BTW) You make a good argument but it is a dated argument. Black Ops II (Love it or Hate it) is chocked full of games where almost everyone is on a mic. Plus, the clan system can easily align you with people that all have mics. 2nd, and you are a bit off here, cross game chat isn't feasible because of the way memory is allocated. I am hoping next gen will have more cross platform play.

If I had a billion dollars I would develop ...

I hope not. And Bethesda, if you are listening: New Console means the slate is wiped clean. Use the PS4 as your primary and then port. Why not have a ton of happy gamers instead of a divided following.
