Through all the talk of the Cloud, DRM, Digital Distribution and streaming videos on PS4 and Xbox One, both systems still have a lot to prove., the current-round of systems are in their golden years and are managing to produce some of their finest content yet.
It may not be time to give up on them just yet…
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.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "PlayStation's recent bug is a critical reminder of just how uncertain digital games are, and why physical media and ownership are crucial."
And now that discs can hold an entire library of games there's no need for digital licenses.
I always go physical unless it's something that will never get released on disc like some small indie game that will never get a physical release.
Always go physical when you can. Let this be a lesson. Digital is more convenient but has serious cons.
I’m always physical on console and wish I could be on PC. Thankfully Steam handles licenses better than most digital stores. Even if the game gets pulled from the store for some reason it’s still available to me to download.
I always buy physical when available. Unless it’s the 1.99 snow mobile game I bought digitally last week. If I’m making an expensive purchase it’s always been a physical copy I can put in my library
Jawad from eXputer says, "Xbox's decision to share its exclusive titles with PlayStation marks a major change in the gaming industry, in a good way."
No it isnt in a good way. Lets not pretend XBOX chose this please. Years of mismanagement led to this.
I fail to see why ppl are mad about this like they are losing something because other gets to enjoy the same game.
Like honestly do you go hate on Google because they are releasing their apps on iPhones?
Did Google Android OS become irrelevant?
And likewise with the iPhone?
It reminds me of when Playstation fanboys were against crossplay with other consoles because they believed that losers (owners of other brands) should just be forced to buy a PlayStation.
Yet tks to Crossplay some small games like Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw, etc are still playable today.
Well they are not getting the sales they want on Xbox and PC. So they have decided to port titles to other consoles there's nothing else to it.
“Corny? I know.”
A bit, lol. Lots of kumbaya, but if you want Halo that bad in 2024, the old ways still apply. I don’t see Hellblade 2 dropping on PS this year either.
Microsoft making some, key word SOME of its games available on other platforms is being over blown. Then again, we live in an era we’re
journalists focuses on sensationalism and promoting drama, instead of analysis and professional reporting.
The biggest threat to PS2 was the PS1. The biggest threat to PS3 was the PS2. The biggest threat to PSVita was the PSP. The biggest threat to PS4 is the PS3 ...
When are these people going to understand the ten year lifecycle and why PS branded consoles do so well? Journalists choose to be this short sighted just so they can muster up an article or two.
We really must stop this versus mentality, especially when it relates to the SAME damn company making money on ALL their consoles/handhelds. Sony please us to make money, regardless of which platform they choose to please us with. Would a trainer put their horse out to pasture because they have a younger horse? Of course not.
Look at it as a PS brand and not as individual consoles vying for poll position and you'll fully understand the situation.
I would tend to agree here. The PS3 showed that it's got much more power to yet be extracted when we got "The Last of Us." I mean that game looks amazing and easily the best looking game this gen. Sony will support the PS3 until people stop buying it.
I think it would have been if the PS4 had failed to impress as a true Next-Gen system. But so far it looks nothing short of a spectaculare piece of hardware, and as much as I love my PS3 (I'm not even close to giving up on it yet), I can't wait to see my PS4 next to it, as soon as possible. And I'm sure many people do.
Sonys getting profit from every PS3 sold so it actually helps the PS4.
I'm not in any rush to get a PS4. I will probably get it when my PS3 starts failing. Even then I might get it repaired.
