that's more or less standard practice for japanese companies, you'd have to be a pretty monumental screwup to end up being forced to leave the company entirely but they're more than happy to reassign you a less prominent role. this is not a practice unique to konami and they're no more or less deserving of scorn for it than sony, yomiuri, kawasaki or any other large corporation in japan.

criticizing them for the horrible mismanagement of their properties is f...

it's still pretty easy to shit on the xbone brand, but if you think phil spencer hasn't been busting his ass in an attempt to reverse the awful public image that mattrick and company cultivated it's because you haven't been paying attention.

those screenshots have been edited and touched up like crazy. not to say i don't expect the game to look good but lets be real here, those are basically concept art

they're right, don't preorder games. buy them, sure, but don't go in blind, that's the kind of bad decision that let companies like ubisoft put out multiple busted pieces of junk in the same year and go largely unpunished, because they were bought ahead of time on the strength of the hype their marketing campaigns generated. you can't vote with your dollars and expect to make change for the better if the only thing you know about what you're voting for is what it's...

It more than doubled the month in which it was outsold by the Wii U, there's a good reason they're phrasing their sales increase that way instead of quoting hard figures.

It looks great and all, but I cant help but wondering how changing or adding to the case material would affect the heat situation.

"And they didn't quality test it enough."

I have to take issue with this. I'm a QA guy myself, thankfully not at EA, and I can tell you for damn sure that the majority of the major issues and exploits present in Battlefield 4 were almost definitely documented in their bug tracker before the game released. The problem though is that they were all deemed "known shippable" by people in positions of authority way the hell over the pay grade of any QA s...

He just needs to look on the bright side! At least a photo of an XBox One is always readable, won't spy on you or police your language, probably won't start smoking for mysterious reasons, and he won't have to buy into microtransactions to get the full experience. Sounds like he got the good end of the deal to me.

Oh man, wow, bold predictions? Like predicting that thew PS4 will outsell the XBox One? He's really going to ruffle some feathers with that one. Next thing you know he'll start trying to tell us that the sun rises in the east.

Just try not to unplug your console from the wall outlet during a firmware update and you'll probably be fine. You know, just see what you can do to avoid committing the most eye-poppingly silly error you possibly can. Work on that.

I too will post an article reviewing an event that hasn't actually taken place yet. The Eta Carinae supernova? Yeah, it was pretty ace overall, I'd say!

Reminder that Foxconn also manufactures the Kindle, the Wii U, all Apple handhelds, and various products for Google, Motorola, Microsoft and Toshiba, just to name a few. And it's not as though Foxconn is the only shady factory in China. I'm not defending Sony here, I'm saying people need to stop thinking things like this are isolated incidents that only apply to a handful of products or corporations.

Basically dude, there is already Foxconn in your PC. Do you have...

Sony is a corporation, and like literally every corporation, it exists first and foremost to turn a profit. Money is like electricity, in that there are no circumstances under which it will take anything other than the path of least resistance. Apple, Sony, Microsoft, NVidia, AMD, and every other company that manufactured anything you own that incorporates so much as a single transistor in its design is more than likely guilty of the same. As long as this continues to be the most efficient wa...
