What does being multiplatform have to do with it? Both GTA V and TLOU had an equal chance at the award. The winner was not chosen by gamers, but by a panel of game critics who you would assume have played all these games. This was not a popularity contest or an online vote.
So happy for Rockstar. Very well deserved. There is simply no other game as ambitious as GTA V. Just the level of detail in the open world is mind-boggling. And the presentation values and level of polish are sky-high and consistent in every aspect of the game from the core gameplay mechanics to tiny side activities that many players won't even experience. From beginning to end, there is no game as consistently high quality. Rockstar outdid themselves yet again.
Forza 5 is not gimped for the sake of microtransactions. It's gimped because it's a launch game! It's being built for a brand new console. It's rushed! If it were releasing on the 360, it would be just as full a game as you could want it to be. And there would still be optional microtransactions.

The PS4 broke the record for fastest-selling console launch. The Xbox One stole that record one week later. These numbers are through November 23, so they show 1 day of XB1 sales and 8 days of PS4 sales.
There is no possible way the PS4 has sold two times as much as the XB1 if they're at 2.1 million, considering the Xbox One sold more than half of that in its first day and is reported to have considerably outsold the PS4 at major retailers during Black Friday.

That probably has something to do with the critical acclaim it receives every time it's shown.

I was starting to think it would no longer make it by the end of the year. Glad to hear!
When the 360 launched, the Xbox brand had a very small fanbase compared to PlayStation which was completely dominating the industry with nearly 75% market share. Microsoft needed that head start desperately. The PS2 had outsold the Xbox by a 6 to 1 ratio. The head start definitely paid off along with all the mistakes Sony made with the PS3.
Over the course of one gen, Xbox went from being the complete underdog to being tied with their biggest competitor who had over a decade ...
You can't be serious...The PS4 has been out 2 weeks. The XB1 has been out 1 week.
What's the point of comparing sales at this point? Sony and Microsoft are both going to sell whatever they produce through the end of the year. It just comes down to supply. Next year we will see what the actual demand is for each console.
You must have missed this year's E3 where they showed nothing but games, games, games, back-to-back, one after another.
And it's pretty clear how they got from the 360 to the Xbox One. For years, they had been adding more and more media features to the 360. The first Kinect was essentially an experiment. It was all building up to the Xbox One, where all these media and Kinect features are native to the console.
And it sure has been successful for them...
This kind of AI makes me more interested in playing the game!

It looks like the PS4 held the record for fastest-selling console for one week! Congrats to Microsoft! I'm still amazed that Sony and Microsoft were both able to produce so many consoles in time for launch. So much for the Xbox One being behind in production as well!
You can only sell as many units as you can produce. If the PS4 had launched in Europe simultaneously, they certainly would not have had 1 million units allotted just for North America.
LMAO! I have no problem with Major Nelson, he seems like a nice guy. But these gifs are hilarious!
I see it as a sign of two things:
1. This console generation has gone on far too long and people are dying for new gaming systems
2. Sony was able to manufacture a ton of consoles in time for launch
Sounds more like ignorance on the subject than a lie... Perhaps they should thoroughly research everything they are going to say beforehand, because fanboys are foaming at the mouth and ready to jump on any tiny mistake they make, even something as insignificant as remote control support.
People need to stop claiming every game site is "biased" when they report something they don't want to hear or give a game a certain score. Many sites have given the Xbox One a...
People are really scratching the bottom of the barrel now to find negative things about the Xbox One to blow out of proportion. Thankfully, the hardware and game reviews are now out and they are mostly positive. Only 2 days to go! :)
There are only a couple of winners, including Most Anticipated Game, that are chosen by the viewers. The rest is chosen by their panel of "expert" game critics.
