Veta Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I wasn't completely mistaken, Sony is simply delegating the decision to the publishers, smart. That's what microsoft is doing too , but that is how things have always been ,even in current gen .
Rayblue Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Started this thread because Microsoft has just dug its grave for the XB-No-Boner, and that on E3 Sony turns around and offers more generous options for players, such as support for used games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA&feature=youtu.be
Veta Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Even if there was no internet requirement , no used game policy , PS4 still is better, it has better hardware and price also through Gaikai you will be able to play previous games so it's not much of competition .

Not to mention it's 100 dolars cheaper.
MrMan11 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Yep, I reckon Sony are about to retake the crown for consoles. PS4 seems much better value for money and more coustomer friendly. Anybody else notice a downward spiral in Microsoft since Bill Gates gave up the lead?
Rayblue Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 The use of DRM and constant internet connection are like being chained to a block while trying to beat off swarms of mosquitoes, so the XBox brand is facing the same fate as the Atari Jaguar. Also, it's a fucking pain in the ass to find that after some months you get the red ring of death. It makes sense for Sony to come up with unusual schemes to bring back players to the brand, as in recent years they hit rock-low, having lost the lead in consumer electronics as Samsung (their TVs are bought more, along with their popular tablets and mobiles) and Apple (iPod and iPhone killed the Walkman) dominate that area.
MrMan11 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 What are the prices for the two consoles going to be? I also reckon we can assume that this will be a two-horse race, doubt there are going to be any other competitors. I am actually very glad to see that Sony are making the PS4 so accessible, this is a step backwards, in a good way. Apparently the PS3 sold 3 million more units than Xbox, can that be true?
ChancellorKremlin Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Rayblue, I've merged the two topics together because we already have two topics in this forum in the off topic and gaming section about the Xbox One (when there should really only be one) and there is a huge overlap with the PS4 anyway, so I merged both so we don't have three threads with the same arguments being made.
dmen77 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 What are the prices for the two consoles going to be? In the US, the Xbox1 is $499 and the PS4 is $399.

Sad see Micorsoft still treating consumers like crap.
Kind9 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 It seems to me that microsoft and valve want to make gaming into a social networking service. I've never been a fan of steam, and this new xbox is just revolting.
Kpnut Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I'll probably get a PS4 (about 2 or 3 years after the initial launch to give Sony time to work out any bugs there might be, like I did with my 360) since the Xboxone has just managed to disinterest me in every way possible and because I don't tend to go for console exclusives (I have 2 tops not counting the ones that are also for the PC) so it wouldn''t matter in the long run. But yeah the Xboxone being mostly a media center, the DRM and the fact you need to pay to play second hand games is a pretty large hole for Microsoft to dig its way out of. Also found a good article on the subject: http://www.gamesradar.com/microsoft-dug-its-own-e3-grave-how-it-might-climb-out/
windpl Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Let's all suck some Sony cock shall we? Yeshhhhhhhhhhhhhh, at least it is clean.
Angrybird Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Let's all suck some Sony cock shall we? Yeshhhhhhhhhhhhhh, at least it is clean. It's still a cock.
Monsto Brukes Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 I've been playing via steam for 10 years now. I spend WAAAY more on video games than I would if I played xbrix or ps games cuz lets face it . . . when the "red faction collection" is on sale for $15, if you have even a passing interest in it, why would you NOT buy it? You'd be hard pressed to find a used console game that's worth playing for $15. And while steam drm may not be very nice to gamers, it's a hell of a lot better than any of the shit that you find from sony/ms. Steambox? absolutely.
leddis3 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Let's all suck some Sony cock shall we? Yeshhhhhhhhhhhhhh, at least it is clean. It's still a cock. How does the saying go.. "in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." Sony may not be great, but compared to Microsoft wearing their pants on their heads and shouting "wibble!" and Nintendo rocking in a corner back and forth, clutching a Mario plushie and gnawing it's ears off, they're positively inspirational.
Veta Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Open the good champagne ps4 is outselling xbox once on preorders (so much that they changed the forecast of expected income ) and take into consideration this is only in the us so both asian as well as european markets which are predominately ps4 buyers aren't big on pre-orders . http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/06/14/e3-2013-ps4-outpacing-xbox-one-pre-orders
FallenWarrior Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Right now the price speculations are quite a speculation here in Sweden. With prices ranging from 3888 - 4500 SEK (PS4) and 4600 - 5000 SEK (Xbox One)
SylvanWall Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Forgive the short post, but to be quite fair, I expected a lot more... Sensibility, to be certain, from Microsoft. Ah, well. Where the XbOne failed, the Wii U and PS4 prevailed, I suppose.
quin666 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 http://i.minus.com/iGpVCeVzdBTUf.gif Every time somebody do PS vs Xbox, can never escape stupidity..
