Looks like they let loose the dogs of war, I still say fuck em, the Kinect is still there like the bitch it is and the fact that they had the audacity to pull this shit in the first place still begs less trust from me. This just shows though you all have a voice that can make a difference money talks...

I'm still not getting an Xbox 180. The fact that they did that was for money and nothing else. If you think they did it JUST for the consumers you're a moron. M$ looked at their pre orders and went "OH SHIT WE FUCKED UP". Sony on the other hand from the get go made it for the consumers and developers. SONY > M$.

Why did you bring up Halo, Killzone, Kinect, or uStream? I didn't say any of those things were better than the other.

I did say however,

Most of the exclusives shown so far on both consoles have been pretty "meh" or hit or miss...If you're willing to buy and inferior console because of one or two games, you should probably re-think your plan, unless you got money like that, if you do, then you can obviously waste as you please.

If you like a few things that much to buy the Xbox one, knock yourself out, i'm not telling you not to.

Loyalty over quality for some people.

After seeing the gameplay for Kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV, I was sold on a next-gen. Even though I'm a Sony player, I tried to keep an open mind going into E3, but after looking at everything I thought (as well as most of my friends) that PS4 was clearly better. Apparently Microsoft agreed, since they are backing off a lot of their negatives.

Honestly, apart from KI, Halo, Gears of War, and Fable, I don't know of many xbox exclusives. I am interested in Gears of War. Yet, a list of the Sony exclusives have already been listed, and many of them like God of War and Uncharted are outstanding. The God of War series is one of the best all-time game series, and Uncharted is amazing. I think Uncharted 2 is one of the great all-time games.

A couple exclusives for Sony that I haven't seen mentioned are Team Ico and DUST. Team Ico only makes a game every few years, but when they do it is top-notch. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the greatest video games ever. They make Sony exclusives. DUST is the first console game to ever link up with a PC MMO, in this case EVE Online. That is historic. No one has ever done that before. My buddies and I can play our FPS DUST on the console while EVE players are coordinating air strikes for us from their PC. That is super cool. They tried to include xbox initially, but didn't get cooperation from Microsoft, so bailed on it for xbox.

To me the best argument for xbox 360 over a PS3 is just that so many people have 360s in America. If going forward XB1 loses any traction to PS4, it only decreases the best argument for XB1, and a $100 price difference might just do it.

No more porting to Playstation. Now Sony has the console that developers will be developing for first.

Yup, ps4 is now a pc too. Still might need some porting as it won't be running windows unlike the xbone, where you just build on the xna framework.

and designed for a console. Its not even comfortable playing on keyboard. O yeah its locked to 30 frames.

I never said it wasn't designed with a console in mind, just that its built on pc and therefore easier to get running on a pc. The issue is how to handle the controls when you only planned for game pads. But getting it running on pc is a non issue.

This sharing feature was a great idea and this sony fanboyism is ridiculous XBone now have Sony rules and the complaining holds on. Sure, Sony is the best company in the world, with magic updates and hacker incidents

If you fuck over people you don't get money. You have to please the consumer or the consumer goes elsewhere. Companies like M$, where the consumer has options, are at the mercy of the consumer. Sony clearly understands that, not M$. And clearly you don't either with your Fuck people post.

Lets be real though: Sony has had their fair share of gaffes too -- google 'Sony DRM history'. They were one of the first companies to start putting that kind of thing into the market in a major way.

I remember when Sony didn't want to support mp3 and wav because they had their own crazy audio format with built-in restrictions. My how things change :)

Oh yeah I remember. However they learned from their mistakes as well. The PS3 was a failure in my eyes. M$ is making (or at least was) the same mistake as Sony with the PS3. Charging too much for the system. Making an inferior system when compared to the 360. Yes the cell processors are powerful but they are a pain in the ass to develop for, which is why developers made games on the 360 first then ported over to the ps3. Sony had a big head about themselves before the PS3. "Oh people will buy the PS3. It's the next Playstation! We'll charge $600 for it. What will gamers do?" Gamers AKA the consumers went with the 360. Why? Because they had a choice. Sony fucked us in the beginning. Now all I see is this from M$. Windows 8 and the xbox one. My gripe with M$ changing it's tune is the people that are saying "Oh all are complaining and rants on the internet did it". No it didn't. Preorders did it. Money talks in the corporate world. Much louder that cries from the internet.
