Forbes: For the past console generation, the so-called “rivalry” between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 has been something of an unnecessary feud.
There are risks to this however, on both sides.
Players are taking to Reddit to let Bethesda know they want ghoulification added to Fallout 76 in a future update.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga, though nothing new and has some story issues, is still a love letter to Contra fans just wanting to shoot stuff."
Hitting the console gaming scene via the QUByte Interactive and Ops Game Studio teams is Lunar Axe for Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch
"Sony ‘s PS4, but a narrative is starting to emerge. Sony is going to have a laserlike focus on games this time around, while Microsoft wants to create a device that everyone, gamers and non-gamers alike, will want to have in their living rooms."
I kind of feel that's how it's been this generation. Sony trying to innovate and Microsoft launching the same 2-3 exclusives and a bunch of Kinect shovelware. Reading this article makes me think Microsoft will focus even less on games and turn the next X-Box into a big smartphone
It's smart to market your games console as a GAMES console in the early years because the early adopters are nearly always the tech savvy core gamers.
PS4 will have just as much streaming, entertainment and media funtions as Xbox 3 just look at all the apps available on PS3 right now. Also isn't PS3 the number one device for Netflix use? Sony also owns (or has a big share of) content creating music and movie studios, if they wanted, they could have a LOT of exclusive content relatively cheap.
Basically, both consoles will be similar feature for feature in the eyes of the mainstream casuals but only one will have core gamers interests at heart.
The differences indeed are definitely showing....
One console has a name (PS4) and official specs along with games announced.
The other (next xbox whatever they call it) does not.
I do hope they are as different from another as possible.
