Didn't know the WiiU was region locked.
Of course not, check thier terms of service, rest assured they will take another crack at DRM when they have a decent sized installbase.
First of all, generations dont sell consoles, companies do. Secondly in past generations companies took loses on consoles yes but the loses were manageable (except for the PS3s case). You are suggesting that they take at least a hundred dollar lost for each console sold just to match Sonys console and that's assuming they aren't taking a lose on the console already. People would have to buy 2 games at launch to cover the cost.
Why can't they allow publishers the ability to self publish? Why are they making indie devs jump through hoops to put games on their console? I would like to hear your apologetic excuse for this.
MS execs and share holders are already suggesting that MS sell off it's Xbox division, what makes you think that they are going to allow gaming division to blow through all of that money? http://www.geekwire.com/201...
Just because Microsoft as a whole has a lot of money does not mean they are going to allow the Xbox division by itself to blow throu...
@Software_Lover Actually yea, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Sony doesn't pay for exclusive content it would be a waste of money for a company that is in finacial trouble. Do you have any evidence that says otherwise?
This is a slap in the face for the naysayers who think Sony pays for exclusive content or timed exclusivity. Sony negotiation skills with devs are good enough, no dollar signs needed.
"They could actually remove the kinect and completely justify keeping it at $499.. it does operate like a apple TV. " lol yea, you're not a shill at all. You are actually calling people dumb because they don't want to spend money on pointless attachments. Since you seem to be the insider on all this extra value that Kinect is offering why don't you list them for us idiots.
"And this is why the voices on the internet dont matter." *sigh...Why are you so.... You know what, let's just drop it.
The Kinect will go the way of the Wiimote and the WiiU tablet, useless gimmicky garbage that will be an after thought in the long run, the sooner you except this reality the sooner you will be able to sleep at night.
Yup, their policies may have changed (for now) but their philosophies haven't. They are still that atrocious, rancorous company who is trying to rule the world with their dictator esque persona. They have backed down for now because of the heat of the moment but if you think this is their last attempt to enslave the consumer you're a fool.
@rela82me I'm actually bored so Ill take a crack at that list.

2)Because games that were actually running on the Xbone looks anything as good as this https://www.youtube.com/wat...
@Superlupe so you want Sony to not "shove" PSPlus down your throat but it's okay if micrsoft is doing because your not paying for it? Why don't you just stay off-line in general since you have no issue doing that on the Xbox one?
PS4 all the way!!!!!
Wow, Sony is going to rebound as soon as this thing launches.
Uh "the PS3 DID outsell the 360 and the PS4 will repeat history for the third time in a row"
*fixed
Edit: Nevermind, title has been fixed.
It's funny because PC gamers tend to be the snobbiest gamers but look how they get on their knees begging for games that are not coming to thier "superior" platform. But I do think this game will eventually come to PC.
I think it is vaguely related to heating issues, don't quote me on that though.
Sony this guy is practically begging to work for you guys again, make it happen.
I remember when Nintendo fanboys were shouting from the hills how the tablet controller was going to revolutionize gaming. Guess the Didn't learn their lesson from the Wii
What is your definition of hoops? They obviously have to do so if they have to find a publisher and/or let microsoft publish.
"Which by the way is the only platform you can self publish on console without jumping through hoops!"
Lol what? lmao obviously not by the crys of the devs.
"The publishing is a curation process that is to find the gems from the vast majority of crap."
Excuses, they are trying to get a huge cut out of the indies profi...
