Sony's trolling Microsoft again.. haha, this console wars is getting interesting

Maddens Raiders4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

I hope Sony doesn't troll the nextbox "too hard" though. We remember what they did to Toshiba.

#dealwithit

aCasualGamer4008d ago

Still, this will never touch the battles between Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Those days were hilarious and epic at the same time.

For those saying "stop with the console wars!!!", think about this... If there never was a competition between Sony and Microsoft you wouldn't get some of the great exclusives that we got this gen. Without competitive counterparts in this industry, there would be no incentive to create exclusive titles.

I say bring on the console war, and end the real wars.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

WELCOME TO THE CONSOLE WARZ!!!!!

seriously though... good to see it's all in good fun.

Army_of_Darkness4008d ago

Hahaha! Luv this, Sony is not messing around next Gen. They are going full throttle on this Biatch!
Gets me very exited to see what the PS4 will offer :-D

Godmars2904008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

@aCasualGamer:

There was no "war" between HD-DVD and Blu-ray, just a delaying action. More so because even though BR always had more space while MS supported HD-DVD, the 360 only indirectly supported the format where the PS3 was BR's flagship.

Really hope things don't get that convoluted this time around. Exist on their own merits rather than empty hype.

@Army_of_Darkness:

Just so long as there are no crying baby doll commercials, thank you very much.

kabala4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

I love this!!! Reminds me of the
days when Intellivision was trolling Atari. For those that don't know youtube Intellivision major league baseball commercial. Ah the good old days!

blackbeld4007d ago

PS4 is hitting the next xbox hard.

PS4 crushes xbox like a step on an ant.

PigPen4007d ago

Something that they can't do to Microsoft.

sjaakiejj4007d ago

Haha Maddens, thanks for making me laugh uncontrollably! Bubbles for that one.

indysurfn4007d ago

ummmm I kept saying if Microsoft requires online to play or start a game I'm out! Or if they blocked used games I'm out! Well looks like they will not require a online connection to play a game. BUT Acording to articles I've read they will block used games. Meaning I'm stock with what ever price they decide and there will be way less incentive for publishers to drop prices! Plus once I have bought a game I'm just renting it! Who will buy a game that requires a fee to activate? So my point is, is there room in the PS4 camp for me? And is there room for me in the wiiu camp for me to have a second console? (PS at the least with all they money m$ you should have made it better I hope you crash and burn!) Nintendo's stock should also go up!

Aghashie4007d ago

That was mean... but you make laught my @ss all over! Bubble for you.

Clearly this a response to MS claiming that no one in the UK would even know about the Playstation event or the PS4.

NeverEnding19894008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

Lmao I'm loving the butthurt from SONY. This is the BIGGEST day of the year for gaming. Can't wait for N4G post reveal :D

Edit: One company is bantering, the other is whining. "Dunno much about flowers, but I'll have some blooming good news for you at about 6pm." hahaha

raWfodog4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

Obviously, both companies are just having friendly competive banter with each other but you got to turn it into some kind of lowest common denominator fanboy battle. So sad...

"Edit: It's only one company that's bantering haha :D"

Graeme Boyd works for Xbox so i think that qualifies as 'two' companies within that banter. It's all friendly though, for some.

cyberninja4008d ago

You are the only who's butthurt all the time.

Root4008d ago

I'm pretty sure Microsoft have done worser things

Someone posted something in another article about Microsofts Xbox "Love Boat" when the PS3 had it's launch party in France.

RyuCloudStrife4008d ago

I believe your the one butthurt LoL

raWfodog4008d ago

I'll say its ONE of the biggest days of the year for gaming. There are plenty of them to go around. I hope they do bring good news though as I plan on getting both consoles anyway.

windblowsagain4008d ago

Biggest day of the year for gaming?

ROFL.

I will watch the show, it's all fun.

You might get to see an avatars toe.

BAM

PSVita4008d ago

Can some call falcor to pick up neverending1989 and bring him to the real world. Greenpowerz might need a ride too.

TotalHitman4008d ago

You must be feeling pretty stupid right about now, after watching that live stream. That live stream was boring.

GrizzliS19874007d ago

i wonder how your tears taste right about now, oh mannnn

LakerGamerEnthusiast4007d ago

I guess you're right if you think the reveal is going to have a bigger impact than the Launch day itself.....

LOL nothing to look forward to then I see?

FlunkinMonkey4007d ago

ha wow.. and i just bet you thought the MS conference was amazing? haha, atrocious..

GenericNameHere4007d ago

THE BIGGEST day of the year for gaming? The BIGGEST?? So this is one of the effects of being an Xbot, huh? I think the release of the console would be bigger than the reveal of it...

NumOnePS3FanBoy4007d ago

It's quite sad the level of delusion that xbox gamers have to create in order to ease their pain

ShinMaster4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

Oh how foolish you sound in retrospective. Then again, you always seem delusional.

* Pay to play used/rented/borrowed games otherwise blocked.
* Still pay to play online and access features free elsewhere.
* No bundled headset.
* No backwards compatibility with 360 games.
* Online DRM checks every 24hrs.
* Mandatory installs.
* Always-on Kinect.
* Less focus on core gaming and more focus on TV, sports and entertainment apps.
* Only 5Gbs of RAM allotted for games, whereas PS4 has 8GBs all unified towards games.

And so it begins! *evil-grin*
Less than an hour to go. We "hopefully" will know more than.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

Nothing wrong with a little banter. Don't look too deep in to this.

TheTwelve4008d ago

Every industry that matters has good competition like this. =)

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

This is what I like in the ps1 era!!!

No need to be nice!!

TBONEJF4008d ago

I'm still curious bout the PRICE POINT on the PS4

GraveLord4008d ago

Just relevant advertising. You see it all the time with the Samsung Galaxy S4 coming up when you search for iPhone...

mcnablejr4007d ago

so far

we have seen no controller, no console, NOTHING new, apart from some cruddy controller pad thing and xbox has already announced 15 exclusives year one.

gf.

showtimefolks4007d ago

lmao it's like the school play ground

-Gespenst-4008d ago

This is less a war and just good natured ribbing. People should stop interpreting this stuff as "war".

greenpowerz4008d ago

Really? Sony is acting like a caged animal IMO Starting with that premature & strange PS4 reveal.

DoesUs4008d ago

You STILL keeping this vendetta up against Sony after all these years? Your emotional state must be hanging by a thread! So much hatred.

On topic:

Good friendly banter between two corporations.

Snookies124008d ago (Edited 4008d ago )

Dude, let your Sony hate go lol. Be at peace as a gamer and just enjoy games, not companies.

Also, Microsoft had that boat outside for Sony's reveal. So they're just taking small shots at each other. Both are doing it, it's not like it's "only" Sony or "only" Microsoft.

MasterCornholio4008d ago

Or Microsoft went into panic mode and delayed their reveal to today.

Seriously its all just rumors and we will never know the answer to most of them.

Pillsbury14007d ago

Go enjoy your cable box one and watch some nfl on smart glass, we will be playing games.

ziggurcat4007d ago

keep spinning that web, greenpowerz... you're sure doing a lot of damage control, now that the new xbox has proven itself to be a piece of garbage.

Jeez how many more studios need to close to do this.

Zeref2h ago

Maybe these studios didn't close because of GamePass? Have you thought about that?

Cacabunga1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

COD is one of the worst series in gaming.. EA had a chance in gold to overtake COD but chose to kill Battlefield and Medal of Honor

wesnytsfs1h ago

@Cacabunga, That is your opinion which is highly in the minority since COD is always one of the best sellers yearly. We all have games we like, and do not like.

Tankbusta4032m ago

@Zeref

All your downvoters are crying about the Redfall studio but didn't purchase the game

lodossrage13m ago

@Tankbusta40

But why would they purchase anything?

Microsoft for the past 9 years has conditioned their customers to want everything for pennies on the dollar instead of buying.

How many copies can any game sell when the company that supposedly wants sales is telling people
A- we don't care about sales, just engagement
and
B- constantly telling the customers to get it day 1 for pennies on the dollar via gamepass

They literally cannibalized their own potential sales and then take it out of studios for not selling. That doesn't make sense.

Yay cod.

I cannot fathom why people give a fk about cod(Xbox, ps, and PC players). Sure acti has others games but they haven't been the same in so many years.

When asked about Xbox games going to other platforms. She absolutely sidestepped and avoided answering the actual question.

Jeez just tell the base already

ocelot072h ago

About that last part the silence is deafening.

She could of simply said. Other than COD we have no plans to bring anymore games to other platforms other than windows and Xbox.

fsfsxii2h ago

Its simply the most content rich and fun shooter on the market, how is that hard to understand? All the criticism cod receives is honestly jealousy that its so consistent.

anast2h ago

Gross. CoD is a sewer of a game.

PonyRider57m ago(Edited 46m ago)

That still manages to top sales charts and move units year after year.

Edit: Kids downvoting facts are delulu.

anast35m ago

The reason why it moves units is because adults are dumber than ever which makes kids even dumber, which lowers the bar on the quality of entertainment.

PonyRider31m ago

The sooner you learn that taste is ✨️subjective✨️ and people can have a different opinion to yours, you'll be a lot less angry.

lodossrage8m ago

two things can be true here.

Yes Ponyrider, taste and opinion ARE subjective.

However, that doesn't take away from the lack of quality and care put into COD (or any other heavily milked franchise) that anast is pointing toward

notachance2h ago

lol the whole point of annual CoD is to make its fans buy the game anew again every year, if it comes to gamepass it’d be more cost efficient to never make a new CoD again and just make it a long term game like fortnite or counter strike.

yeah I can just see CoD take that route and close 2 studios out of 3. We’ll see.

Profchaos1h ago

Notice this years game is absent from the image

jwillj2k42h ago

Yessss put COD on gamepass and destroy its worth. Keep being dumb Microsoft we love it!!

anast34m ago

Profchaos already answered this issue.
