This is why the Tomb Raider reboot sold 3.4 million copies and Square Enix considers it a failure, while Dark Souls sold 2 million copies and From Software is laughing all the way to the bank. The industry could use a bit of housecleaning. Or a lot of it. With fire.

Rare being bought out was one of the greatest upsets in gaming history. Still sore over it. |

I wouldn't make any predictions yet that it has worse specs than the PS4 but it is very troubling that they're being very hush hush about it compared to Sony.

Gamers buy multiple games and sometimes multiple consoles. But you can't turn the majority of the population into gamers who spend their disposable income on games.

Who in the world cares about specs between these two besides pseudo-techheads without stable jobs? I'm far from the only person in the world who owns an Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii.
We all know most games won't be exclusives to either console, just like this current generation, and since both consoles-from what we've seen-are at least in the same ballpark spec-wise, and use the same chip architecture, most games will be easily ported between the two (and the PC; whether that actually means we'll see more console games also given a PC port remains to be seen), whereas the Wii-U will be the odd man out. It'll be very similar to this current gen between the PS3 and Xbox 360 and Wii. Probably worse for the Wii-U due to the different chip architecture really. For the person who asked why you can't just use a PC in your living room, it's the same reason why just about any remotely serious PC gamer I know also owns a console: console-only games. The sheer amount of pointless obtuseness in any thread that relates to any console of any flavor shouldn't surprise me after 20 years of watching the same tired exaggerated rants about the world ending, but I'm here for the one or two posts that might actually try to talk about something relevant to the given console. I'll try to refrain from getting involved in the future with the pointless fluff. You guys can ignore me as well as you swim in your self-gurgitation of self-flagellation and misery. Anyways, for the few others out there who'd like to do more than /wristing, who thinks there's going to be a Halo 5 reveal at E3? After hearing about the Spielberg Halo TV series in collaboration with CBS and 343 Industries, I had to watch Forward Unto Dawn again when I got home. And then I thought, what are the odds Spielberg signed on to just do a TV series if there's no game as well after he mentioned how he thinks video game technology has finally matured enough for him to get involved. Gah! I can't wait!

Personally, I'm a big fighting game fan. The PS3 controller always felt better to me when playing fighting games than the 360 one. Plus free online Frankly speaking, I'm content with my PS3. Don't really feel like I need to upgrade.

So then why is microsoft trying to make their new console behave like PCs and require lengthy installs on top of linking games to accounts? If you're taking away the advantages a console has over a PC by making the console more like the latter, then the console just becomes less and less compelling to buy.

This is what makes them different from Nintendo. Nintendo, like them or not, is always trying to create new ways to play games and enjoy gaming. They're a gaming company, that's their job. They don't sell operating systems, or compete with iPhones, or make televisions. They make video game hardware and software. Like every business, they do stupid things and make mistakes, but they aren't trying to be the center of your entire life. Unless that entire life happens to be playing games on their systems. Quote:

The PC will never have a SRW game so it means that I'm either gonna have to stick with a Vita or grab a PS4 for my SRW fix. |

MS gave up on Japan 3 or so years ago and never looked back. I doubt they will try again as hard as this gen. Their main target is the US market and they will do everything to secure it. |

In this case they seem to be testing the audience. "How much shit can we get away with guys?" We can tell them, will they listen?

Interesting. Call of Duty Ghosts is on the Playstation Store with an ad that says:
11.5.13 Is this a roundabout way of saying the Xbox One will be released then or shortly prior? COD: Ghosts was one of the very few games shown at the release today.
