"A couple of days ago Microsoft announced that it was dropping the Kinect from Xbox One in a future SKU due for release on June 9th, the day of E3. Why this was announced now and not at E3 is anyone's guess. We figure that the NPD numbers for April are not too impressive for Microsoft and they're making this announcement now in order to lessen the blow of the release of the NPD figures. If that's not it, we'll be surprised, but it's definitely a possibility." - David Wales, Stealthy Box
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
They don't have to. The fact is, it is still a less powerful system. Camera or no camera, it doesn't matter. If they were to change the price of the system to $299, then it would make a difference. People may consider it specifically because they wouldnt have to spend so much money. But knowing you're getting a less powerful system at the same price, why wouldn't you opt for the more powerful one? That would be my only recommendation to Sony. Push forward the fact that the PlayStation 4 is the most powerful console on the market and is running games faster and at higher resolutions than the competition, so that even the most casual gamer on the street knows the facts. That way when they go to the store to purchase a system, they know that one is more powerful than the other and is the same price as the less powerful one.
Microsoft, somehow, now thinks they are operating on even ground with Sony with this price drop. Aren't they supposed to be some of the smartest people in the world? Or did the price drop automatically upgrade the Xbox One system performance? If that's the case, then the cloud is operating faster than they ever thought it would. Even beyond their own control and the Terminators are incoming. :)
Off topic: Pretty much a good way to get people to buy a Xbone is to price drop it to $350-$380 globally for Xbox ONE to justified the lack in power to the PS4. Last gen the PS3 was charged because of the power, and blu ray and then price dropped after Blu ray discs and player were affordable while X360 was lower than PS3 because of less power, and No Blu ray. In conclusion if your were smart enough to understand you should see how I thinking of this is connected to power of the console, justified the price point , not the make or how much it's was to make. Please don't bring PC into this comment because I'm talking about Consoles and not PC. So please people justified the Xbone price point because no matter how the justification goes Xbone will be weaker in specs compared to the PS4, and if the Xbone was stronger or equal to the PS4 the price point would make sense. This is my opinion and mine alone.
P.S/ On topic: Canada and Austrailla decrease the PS4s price to $400 would make sense but at the same time justified the power difference.
$299 PS4 is coming at E3, BOOM !
Sony is quite an arrogant company. I think they will not try something big now that they have the lead.
That said I love PlayStation, I just wish they would listen to gamers more.
Sony will respond as always, with a great line up of exclusive gotys that you can play only in Playstation 4 and letting everyone see the superiority of the system over the Xbox One.
They will top it off with Playstation Now and Project Morpheus.
Xbox doesn't stand a chance against the Playstation brand. Playstation's quality is way ahead of the competition.
