This is kinda messed up. For just $10 more you can buy retail and not have to worry about it so there's no way in hell I'd pay $50 for something that requires a subscription to keep using it. $10 upgrade? Yeah. $20? Maybe but that'd be pushing it. Its the same reason I didn't buy ff14 because I'm not going to pay $10 a month to play one game. I have ps+ and don't plan on cutting my subscription but I still know a rip off when I see one. I planned on trying out the + ve...
The 40 Gb model came out the following year, launch ps3s came in 20 and 60 Gb, mine was the 60 and I still have it for the backwards compatibility.
The reason there hasn't been any sony smart phones on verizon is because of verizon not sony. The last sony phone on verizon was the xperia play in 2011 which was a great phone at the time but didn't meet verizons sells expectations so they stopped carrying sony phones. Rumor has it that sony is working on another cdma phone for verizon code named sirius thanks to the success of the xperia z on other networks.
Dude in that demo that pc was hardlined right to the server, things are a bit different when you have to travel through hundreds and even thousands of miles of phone line bouncing from this stop to that along the way. You're talking about increasing a systems power over the internet and thinking it won't take high speeds to accomplish? Hate to break it to you buddy but if these servers was capable of pushing that much data through the internet in real time and it was that easy then th...
So what the x1 doesn't use any of its 12 for compute? Last time I checked compute was pretty much a requirement. Its like saying an 18 cubic foot fridge has less fridge space then a 12 cubic foot one because the 18 has a freezer while failing to relize the 12 has a feeezer too.
More stupidity I see. How much money a company has has little to do.with what they invest in, companies invest in things that make them more money. Sony makes money with their games division so they invest in their games division. Ms on they other hand makes little to no profit on their xbox division which is why this time around the xbox has been gimped as a gaming device in favor of being more of a media device which was a dumb move imo because the market is already saturated with multimedi...
Don't know what this guy is smoking but I buy a gaming console primarily for gaming. Key word "gaming". The logic is right but highly misplaced you see if people want an entertainment device they buy one, these are called pcs and tablets. Which is why pcs and tablets sell more in one quarter then consoles sell in years. People buy gaming consoles for gaming because that's what they're supposed to be for. Not to mention that all these entertainment features he's going...
If you read the article you'd know that they wasn't actually using the controller during the test, it was just sitting idle. In the real world that will only be about a 20 minute gain while gaming. Honestly people its just led lighting which uses very little power. If you don't believe me then go to radio shack and buy an led bulb and a watch battery and tape the wires on each side of the battery. Guarantee it burns way longer then you'll have the patience to remember it, year...
They put billions of dollars into cloud servers for the same reason google did, because they're a software company, duh. Had very little to nothing to do with xbox and would have still be done without it.
The thing people don't seem to understand about that is that while 59 more countries sounds like a big number they make up very little of the total sales. I'm not saying consoles don't sell in these places, they do but if you just look at the actual numbers people and use some logic you'll find that its not enough to be worth mentioning. 7 million ps4s sold I'm 70 countries you say? Has anybody stopped to realize that half that total was sold in only 2 countries, the U.S. ...
While you may think you've made a point with all that I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you because you are failing to realize the concept of factors in what you're saying. First of all the numbers in my comment are static because of the convince it offered in making the point, in no way do I think that's how it works in the real world. As a response this is how I believe the real world works. Yes there was a few weeks where x1 out sold ps4 in a couple territories but th...
Compared to the x1 its got a ton, I've downloaded 5 and theres still more with more coming.
You do realize that vgchartz has TOTAL software sales listed at 12.5 million x1 and 16.3 million for ps4 right? And also you do relize that sony officially announced 20 million in software sales and 7 million harware 2 weeks ago? If you do the math with sonys OFFICIAL numbers you get an attached rate of 2.85 games per system sold. Since ms hasn't given any official numbers I'll just use vzchartz and say 4 million x1 sold with 12.5 million games gives an attached rate of 3.12. Now here...
Before anybody jumps on the "more territories" train save yourself from looking stupid and consider this. If McDonald's has 100 stores and sells 1000 burgers a day at each store and burger king has 80 stores and sells 800 burgers at each store per day then opening 20 more stores still doesn't change the fact that they are being out sold by 200 per store every day. The only thing they did was make the daily gap from all stores smaller by 16000 but are still losing by 20000. N...
They're banking they might sell a few of those 900,000 collecting dust on store shelves lol.
All September will bring is 26 more countries for x1 to lose in, its already losing in all 13 its currently in. Why is it so hard for people like you and georgenoob to understand that the x1 doesn't have a lead in ANY country, none, not one? Adding more will only add more to the places they are losing.
Rent to own is for people who cant afford stuff out right and have bad credit. Its sad, I done it once out of high-school and said never again. Its just exploitation of people and should be illegal. Another thing the author didn't mention is that these places also sell stuff out right without renting but their cash price is still double what regular retail is. They hook stupid people with adds like 3-6 months same as cash with the people not realizing that they're still paying double ...
@georgenoob. A camera does not make a "gaming" system next gen. Its the games and stepping them up a notch that makes it next gen. I have yet to see any camera based games that are worth bragging about on any system and frankly in my opinion they all suck. Voice commands can be done on practically anything these days from phones to pc and yes belive it or not but the ps4 as well. So what you have is a camera that still adds practically nothing to actual "gaming" and that&#...
Are you being sarcastic or just smoking crack? Because if you seriously believe what you just posted then you're either someone who has no.real understanding of how technology works or you're delusional or both and in that case I would feel sorry for you and even more so over the next few years when none of your dreams come true.
Could you imagine if they announced a ps4/vita bundle for $400-$450? Peoples heads would explode lol.
