PS4’s lower price will give it the upper hand against Xbox One despite Microsoft’s decision to backtrack on its DRM policies last night, analysts have told us.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
The price.
And...
* The massive graphical power advantage the PS4 has over the weak Xbox One
+ The huge power advantage the PS4's very fast system RAM has over the outdated Xbox One's RAM
+ The 50 percent more powerful graphics hardware
+ The 2 gigs more RAM the PS4 has for games to utilize
+ The lack of any sort of Kinect crap running constantly
* The massive exclusive advantage the PS4 has over the Xbox One
+ Sony's gigantic first party studio line up compared to the Microsoft's tiny and casual shovelware focused first party studios
+ The amazing Japanese developer support for the PS4
+ The smaller developers flocking to the PS4
* Gaikai online service integration
* The upgradeable harddrive
* The small and elegant hardware design along with internal power supply instead of the ugly and bulky Xbox One with yet another giant external powerbrick
* The PS4 works in everywhere. The Xbox One only works in some parts of the world.
Let me just say that IF they can bring a patch that will get rid of the whole DRM and so forth, I'm sure they can bring another patch that will either bring the features back at once or slowly and slowly towards the coming months without the customers knowing. I mean, MS want to do this just to bring the consumers back to their side then BAM! bring everything back!
But then another thought came to mind that, if they were to do such thing then they could be sued for billions over false advertisement. RROD all over LOL

If Microsoft can take it away with a patch they can bring it back and so can Sony.i said it months ago both companies will wait till they sell a set number of units some time after the holidays and then only then when millions of there units are sold they turn on the drm.im still getting ps4 first but if Microsoft starts showing some free to play games like Sony is doing maybe throw n a Xbox live gold year subscription I might pick one up first
The PS4 seems like a better value in my opinion especially with its superior hardware and much lower price tag.

"If Microsoft can take it away with a patch they can bring it back and so can Sony"
LOL it wont happen with the PS4.
BTW Sony never planned for it in the first place so its impossible for them to "bring it back" like you said.
Xbox all the way for me, the online gaming is better!
End case closed.
