The Console War May Not Be Over, But At Least It's Finally Interesting

Monday was a big day in the world of video games, one that may go down in history depending on how the next few months play out. It was the start of E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) and the eyes of the video game world were all looking to see what the two superpowers of the Console Wars would do.

This is the year that Microsoft and Sony release their new video game consoles. While each company announced its new device weeks before, Monday was the official coming out party for the Xbox One and PS4. It was the day we'd see what new games were on the horizon, and how each company planned on winning the next front of the war.

Understand, however, that there's nothing particularly interesting about this. Every year both companies hold big events at E3 to fire up the fans and give video game journalists something to blog about, but rarely does anything interesting actually happen. Until Monday.

On Monday Sony launched the single most devastating attack in the history of the...

its interesting because both platforms are similar but the businesses have taken very different routes.
MS is getting closed like Apple,
Sony has gone for open like Android.

Competition breeds improvement. I wonder how or if MS is going to improve.

Lol they have alot of hard work ahead of them

Nobody at Microsoft ever worked hard. News from first hand.
They are sitting on amazing technologies and talents, they might not give a damn, and still surface and be extremely successful.

The fan boy wars have definitely become a part of the fun of a new generation and what a great start.

Square makes some very weird decisions.

This is really stupid and just baffling, the explanation for it is also a big non answer, very disappointing.

they are so going to try to sell the extra content later down the line.

Square Enix has really gone down the drain. Even FF7: Rebirth, while being an incredible acheivment seemed very sloppy in some areas... namely performance. These folks wonder why their games don't sell but aren't putting in a decent effort.

It's been like that for a while, they've just gotten progressively worse over time, this game is a bit of a monkey's paw situation. You get the remaster, but you don't get the War Of The Lions content in exchange.

Switching the screens and buttons? Nah. Some person wanted to look good to someone higher up. Demonstrating how many people buy the content will demonstrate it. Even if they have to reverse it later. Totally scummy.

It’s like a car dealership selling extended warranty in a scummy way. Even if they have to refund them later, it will technically show somewhere that they sold it and make them look good for something.

I can't believe this game came out 2 years ago already. I uninstalled it 1 year & 10 months ago.

I really enjoyed Diablo 4, but the cost of skins and various content are absurd and kind of insulting. I think like outfits were $20, I heard the Berserk stuff is ways more expensive. It’s just nuts that this is the direction they want to go in. I feel like you’d do better n sales making these like $1-$5, but what do I know?

It's Immortal: Dark. They ruined this awesome franchise.
