Dealspwn writes: This week on Game Buzz we get stuck into the news that both Watch Dogs and Driveclub have been delayed, with two of next-gen's big hitters pushed back into 2014. We ask what this means for Sony in particular and how the playing field appears to be balancing out for the launches of the PS4 and the Xbox One in a few weeks.
Have the recent delays changed your mind? Are you getting a PS4? An Xbox One? Both? Neither? Give the Game Buzz a listen and hit us up with your views in the box below.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
The only actual sole PS4 delay is Driveclub, Watchdogs is delayed on all platforms so dubbing The PS4 "Delay station 4" is truly just flame baiting.
Given that the Watch Dogs delay will affect Sony more than MS -- Sony had after all prepared official bundles for the PS4 inc. WD -- and Driveclub is a Sony exclusive, I'd say it was a pretty fair title.
Also, it's really hard to make a pun out of 'delay' and 'Xbox One'.
Is it really flamebait? If people are getting their knickers in a twist over a pun as benign as this, I'd say that speaks more to the maturity levels of those fans than anything else.
@Fuzzy pixels
Watch dogs delay was not Sony's decision. How does it speak for maturity level of people who are telling the truth. The bottom line is only one ps4 exclusive has been delayed.
What it shows is how eager some people are to pounce on anything negative about sony or ps4. With so much positive feedback about the PlayStation its obvious some people just cant stand it.
