"It is the sound of thunder before the storm for gamers. It is the sight of the titans leagues away before they come and reign with their wrath. The torches are being lit as we speak and before December 2013 hits. The gaming world is up for a big change. Playstation 4 and XBOX 1(one) are soon to collide. Some have already chosen sides and save their money to be the first in line to grasp their gaming weapons. Others have yet to choose (Like my self) with all the devastation that sony and microsoft have created trying to make the next innovation of consoles gaming."
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I hate almost everything I saw at the Microsoft reveal. Nothing got me hyped, rather, concerned. Sony's reveal showed me power, games, games and games. PS4's sharing/streaming capabilities will be awesome.
I was really digging the social features of PS4.When rumors of a share button started spreading i thought it was just going to be incredibly stupid but they proved me wrong.
Uploaded that live gameplay of KZ:Shadow fall to facebook with a push of a button.Took 3 seconds.That is pretty cool.
The Live streaming is pretty amazing too.Me and my buddies wil get a kick out of that, trash talking in lobby chat while i watch him get destroyed in BF4 (he sucks)
Can't wait until they go more in depth at E3.
Microsoft just sucked overall, in every aspect.Everything they showed minus the voice chat, i could do right now by plugging my laptop into my tv.
There is a lot to hate about the Xbox One already and it as only shown to the world 4 days ago.
As much I hate to admit, I'm sure I'll find something about the PS4 that will annoy me, but I can't see there being much. It just looks so damn good right now :)
Straight up:
This casual, living room entertainment crowd?
They aren't going to buy one of these near launch when it's going to be $400+
Early adoption is for fans and for the core, and they are migrating to Sony (if they weren't already there) in DROVES.
Its not too early to make a decision.. Xbone screwed up to me & i know E3 wont change very much about.. Cant wait to find out more info on PS4
