The 360 DID do well over there though when those games were first released. There was a period of several months where it outsold the PS3 every single week which nobody thought would happen.

Unfortunately, there was no sustained effort and the console ended up being largely forgotten, but those few months showed that people in Japan will buy your product if you release the right content.

The X1 so far doesn't have anything that appeals to the market that... #5.1

The n4g system is a bit flawed because people see the newest submitted articles first and it should be the other way around. #5.1.2

Ryse isn't first party #1.1.11

I used to work for GAME. They always had a great working relationship with Microsoft. Their reps always gave out a lot of promotional freebies to staff and MS pay to have the 360 at the front of every store and were the first to embrace digital downloads in store etc.

This news doesn't really surprise me. #1.3

People are just guessing and speculating when the reality is, most of us have no clue about cloud computing and we just don't know what will happen in the future.

I really hope for MS sake that the cloud can be used in the ways they say it would, but you have to ask the question: Why didn't they show any games at E3 that show that off? Wouldn't they want to demonstrate those abilities off from the start? It would also have gone some way to show why an always conne... #7.2.15

They want us to see a benefit to restrictions? They could have made a positive statement by making the games cheaper but clearly that was asking too much #2.2

To share games on the ps3 you have to install your profile on another console and you can only do that once. The X1 allows up to ten shares which you enabke from your friends list (you don't have to put your account on their console) so I will defend that one issue as its genuinely an exciting feature potentially.

Its increasingly harder to defend the other things though. Sony are really offering a more viable alternative at a cheaper price. Its difficult to argue with th... #1.1.18

Apparently Sony rejected an interview with this same girl. She claims that Sony wanted to screen the questions but when they saw the potential questions to be asked they cancelled. Find the thread on gaf for more info. #1.4

Only three maps though? Think I'll stick with cod goats

Nah looks good, looking forward to playing with my mates on ps4. #5

Plus is indeed excellent but the first few months of ps4 will be interesting. We know the ps4 won't play anything other than ps4 games so what can they add to the service at launch when theres only a handful of games out?

Currently the IGC has 12 titles at any one time. Its a great deal. With PS4 we get effectively a demo of driveclub. Down the road it'll ve amazing again but I do worry those first few months will be a bit crap #1.1.22

Quite a big thing to overlook in testing. #6

People are getting really confused with this. I don't blame them, either.

What MS is talking about here is that you can designate 10 people on your friends list who can then access every single game on your profile and play them whenever they want. Only one person can play the same game as you at any one time, so you can't all play a 4 player co-op game (however, only two of you would need to buy a game like Borderlands instead of all four).

This is... #1.1.15

I don't know if sony are back to their former glory as op suggests. I dont think their e3 was strong at all but ms is just gifting this to them with so many bad decisions and pr that sony doesn't need to be top of their game. #1.2.14

I was going to post this poll as well. I don't care if it's on Facebook, the numbers are pretty staggering. You can always adjust polls slightly either way, but this is such a clear margin (gamespots twitter poll is showing similar figures) that it's difficult to ignore. The people have spoken and it's not looking great for MS at this moment. #1.2

I think hes trying to suggest that if theres a benefit to aoways online like the games being really cheap then people are more likely to accept it but MS hasnt announced game prices nor any other benefits so their message is unclear. The fact is, I dont think there are any substantial benefits for the end user in their current model except the cloud stuff (still skeptical) #1.1.5

But killzone is amazing right? #7.2

It's strange how they implement all that tech into the dualshock4 for the camera to detect them, but then only a small percentage of people will probably bother with the camera. Oh well, as long as the price of extra controllers isn't increased because of that, then it's a non-issue.

Otherwise, Yoshida talks sense for the most part, as he always does. A very sensible and humble guy. #1.3

It's only in pre-production so it might not come out until 2015. It looks intriguing but I would say their reasoning for not including it is because it's simply too early to factor it in.

I'm Looking forward to both but I felt E3 was a bit disappointing in terms of the number of reveals for exclusives (on both platforms). From what was revealed at E3 I'd say MS were better but if you take everything that was revealed pre-E3 and add it to the mix, I'd give... #6.2

It's in game engine, just like Quantum Break. Nobody seems to have a problem when Sony did this with The Order 1866 so why is it a problem here? #1.1.2
