Ever since the first news regarding Sony’s conference on February 20th broke out, everyone speculated that the company would announce their next generation console. They indeed announced it, but the conference also held many surprises: from new titles like inFAMOUS: Second Son or Killzone: Shadow Fall, to the new DualShock 4 controller, or to how accessible the new PlayStation is for developing, Sony had one of its best conferences in recent memory. So what about Microsoft?

I get the impression that few people will really appreciate how much a brilliant innovation the share button will be until they actually start using it. I felt, although it was put across well, Sony haven't trumpeted this feature as much as they should.
If MS doesn't have a similar system in place it will be a huge feather in PS4's cap.
@vlad94pintea More than likely but since there's been no rumour or whisper of anything of the sort (unlike in Sony's case) you have to wonder if they have even thought about something like this. There's a small chance it just passed them by completely.
1 THING TO MAKE THE REVEAL BETTER, JUST SHOW THE CONSOLE AND YOU WIN END OF STORY.
if anyone besides sony has the proper resources and man-power to successfully implement something akin to what sony showed off, it's Microsoft.
The purchase of Gaikai was a short cut for Sony with Sony knowing MSFT is a head. Using Gaikai insures Sony can at least give the appearance of being on par to average joe.
To my knowledge there is no share button on the 360 and MS have yet to implement this level of social interaction to XBL, what you mention is not comparable.
If enabling a share feature had to be a face button MSFT could easily swap holding the guide button to turn off hardware *with* sharing, without the cheap gimmic dedicated button on DS4
^^(Kinect-2 is always live for console operating system instructions possibly having control of games not even developed for Kinect-2 in a gameplay sense)
Obviously Sony knows MSFT is working on spectator and recording features hence the PS4 reveal without a live demo of any of "their system/console ideas" on vaporware PS4 hardware.
It was actually pretty impressive.
use to their advantage, when it come to making the 720 more social(like the PS4).
2.) Show hardcore exclusive games (none Kinect)
3.) Basic multiplayer needs to be free. With optional subscriptions.
EDIT: Kinect 2.0 is rumored to come bundled with every console. So if that's the case we won't have to worry about Kinect only games. Hardcore titles will still have the core functionality (controller) so all that means is all games will have some sort of Kinect feature. Think "better with Kinect" games Like ME and Deadspace.
Halo 3.... Uploading and sharing video since 2007.
I will reiterate that Sony has innovated the idea by running with it and implementing it into their entire system, revolutionising how we share gaming moments with our friends.
I'm also aware that it's not the button itself that is the innovation, it's their commitment to make it just work and the general ease of use that make it different from anything we've previously seen. That is not taking away from MS who may very well have exactly the same setup and I'm NOT going to be pulled into an immature 'who did it first' argument.
You just have to understand that you're on a site where there are two camps of morons that spend their collective two brain cells trying to make one company seem better than the other. Applauding one company for doing things and hating the other for the same thing. Doing things at the system level has been a thing Microsoft has pushed since the 360 was announced and Sony fans have hated it as forgetting the hardcore. So it comes off kinda fanboyish when someone call Sony innovative for doing things MS gets criticized for.
You're just collateral damage. Don't take offense.
I most definitely understand how the fans work here, there's no need to tell me, and I'm trying my hardest not to get drawn into this moronic debate. The fact remains that Sony have taken an idea and produced a real world, working feature and demonstrated it's possibilities whereas MS hasn't... yet. I'll let the fanboys argue over who came up with the idea first because frankly, I don't care and, if you truly are not the thing you seem to despise, neither should you.

3.DLC
4.Timed Exclusives
5.Xbox Live Fees
I am appalled at SONY for this not being done on their system completely unacceptable.
But yes, I would be not surprised at all to see another Gears and Halo. Those are quality titles, but I'd like to see MUCH more than that if I m going to buy a 720.
1) NEW IPS (at least 4), except Gears, Halo, Forza and Alan Wake.
2 No block of used games and limitation of the 'always connected' option.
3) Backwards Compatible.
4) RAM 8GB at least.
5) Beautiful Design.
Would like to see
New platform IP
New Adventure IP
Backwards compatibility
Strong third party support
Larger friends list and social aspects to compete with Mii Verse
Something big like Alan Wake 2 or Project Gotham 6
But Xbox fans love playing FPS only or ACTIOn games :)
the AMERICA FUCK YEAH STYLE
2., Awesome Forza 5.
3., Beautiful new Fable using UE4.
4., No block of used games.
5., New awesome IP using UE4.
Backwards compatible, Conker 2, new AAA JRPG.
You can talk about Sony having more first party games as you like but those games are not as popular as the X360 big hitters ans western blockbusters like CoD, elder scrolls, Mass Effect, and Bioshcok are more popular with the Xbox brand.
Another thing in Microsoft advantage is the fact that the Kinect is more popular and better perceive by the casual which in turns will guarantee more market penetration and more unit sold, at least in the western world.
THe Kinect is whack. Sorry I said it..the casual market has bought it, tried it , liked it for a little and they're tired of it. THat's not going to be a buying point for Xbox unless they REALLY step up what they can do. Sony's new camera is promising and the move ultimately works better that waving your hands about like an idiot.
That's a pretty stupid reply. What are you asking why to? Does your limited vocabulary restrict you from asking a clear question in order to get a clear answer?
2) New IPs
3) Focus on hardcore gamers
4) Free online
5) Used games aren't blocked
2. A new Conker
3. New IP's
4. Blu Ray
5. Built in hard drive
6. Reliable and don't make noise
7. Buy more studios and get them to make IP's other than shooters
