I believe companies only really care about cash but its how they conduct themselves in their pursuit of profits that matter.
All I really care about is sex but I would never consider raping someone to get it.
Since pes 6? Surely your 7 dour years includes pes 6.
2013 is still not quite there but it is by far the best pes game this gen.
The team that wins the league wins, not the team that was promoted last season and did surprisingly well this season, unless they finished first.
From a business stand point Nintendo are winning this generation at this point, they have sold the most consoles, made the most profit and gained the largest market share compared to the generation before.
Theres no way microsoft have done as well as they should have done this gen compared to the amount of money the...

"I can see Ps4 having more options with the way the controller works with the camera. Kinect is just the camera"
I can't see it. If the camera is optional then devs won't utilise it.
"7 dour years of mediocrity"?
More like:
1 year of reasonable (pro evo 6)
2 years of awful (2008-09)
3 years of mediocrity (2010-12)
1 year of almost eventually being back on form (2013)
Me too, I'm still playing it very regularly. No FIFA this gen managed to keep me playing for more than a couple of months.
However, PES 2013 is too easy. I'm playing master league on super star and still quite often manage to win games by 4 or 5 goals, I play in Serie A and beat Sienna 9-0 last night. I love the way you can control players runs into space but it makes it too easy to cut through the oppositions defence.
PS3 sold at a massive loss when it launched even at those high prices.
Well it took them 6 years to get it right this gen, they might take their time next gen and get it right from the start.
I have heard plenty about how no console manufacturer has dominated for 3 consecutive generations and this is fact.
However...
Microsoft have never come close to dominating a console generation so I don't see how this 'curse' can possibly apply to them.
"I find this whole topic silly bragging you won a race"
The silly thing is calling it a race.

4000 songs is only somewhere between 300 and 400 albums. I would say alot of people have alot more than that, I know I do.
And
Who on earth is going to waste their time listing 100 songs for you to then accuse them of copying and pasting a list of songs? And why do you think it would be a difficult task? 100 songs is less than 10 albums, are you saying you can't name every song on your 10 favourite albums?
Is this generation over already?
Nobody is hyping this camera as if it's the next big thing. It's the whole console and everything related to it that people are excited about, this camera is just one small part.
You're the one that sounds sick buddy, it appears that all these years of frantically defending the kinect has really messed your head up.

That would be whisky you're talking about, whiskey is irish. Sorry, just had to point that out.
I remember alot of articles/comments from back then coming from all angles, not just the angle you (the author of this blog) seem to remember.
What about the articles/comments that went on about the PS3 being doomed due to its high price point/ heavy investment in blu-ray?
What about the articles/comments that constantly reminded us that no console manufacturer had ever dominated for 3 consecutive generations?
The media and a large portion of the internet loons were re...
What does litle mean?
"Generations are determined by console cycles, NOT power."
Yes, but is it wrong to assume that as time goes by and new generations come along that the hardware will improve in power, speed and capabilities?
Didn't Pachter say something along those lines?
I remember when I was playing through Heavy Rain thinking that this would be a brilliant way to do a game based on 24.
Surely most people realise that the quoted price is for the cheapest/entry level version or the "from" price.
The PS4 is from $399. But nobody will only spend $399 when buying it unless they dont want any games or an additional controller or the camera etc.
The xbox one is from $499. But again nobody will only spend $499 when buying it unless they dont want any games or an additional controller etc.
But when it comes to advertising,...
