GamesAsylum: "With Microsoft’s announcement yesterday, we finally know when and where Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch this November. So let’s have a look at the world according to Microsoft and Sony"
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.
so the white is the wiiu?
I hope Sony can manage a successful launch in all 32 countries. One thing is to say it will launch, another entirely is there is going to be availability after the first shipment. However, I am impressed that the PS4 is even smaller in size that the PS3 Slim (2009), and I don't think they are making hard-to-get-components this time, like it was when the PS3 came out with the Cell chip and Blue Ray Drive. That makes me believe that they have locked down the production process and they are able to do them fast, and therefore have more in time. Also, if that is the case, they might have started production way earlier than anticipated and have them stored until they can ship them to retailers' warehouses, which should be about now.
It does matter, but some folks on N4G and generally in the gaming media tend to look at the US as the "end all, be all".
Having your product available in more countries ensures the potential for more sales. For a company, that is nothing but good news. GREAT news for Sony, giving them a strong head start in Worldwide sales.
PS4 will dominate the competition. Availability, price, superior hardware, more games and features. What's not to like? And you don't have to support MS future of screwing gaming and taking away your rights as a consumer.
Look at the history here:
PS1: Second best selling console of all time
PS2: The best selling console of all time
PS3: Passed the XBox 360 in sells without a worldwide launch. With a full year later launch date as well.
PS4: A $100 less, more powerful, strong internal first parties and strong 3rd party support from the start. With a massive worldwide launch and the most pre-orders for a console in company history.
All signs point to domination.
