E3 2017 will be the time when Microsoft showcases the games coming to Project Scorpio and surely an emphasis on native 4K will be there too.
The legendary composer celebrates forty years of game composing with a new collection.
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida claims PlayStation still believes Xbox is their only true competitor, not Nintendo.
True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.
Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.
MS were doing so well that they had to start selling their games on their main competitors system which in turn results in around 30% of each sale going to Sony as the platform holder.
I do think tjat MS' fortunes will improve now that they are actually selling games rather than giving them away for pennies on the dollar.
Something that occurs to me is that the more success MS published games have elsewhere, the more stark it will become that selling games is much more profitable than renting them. If that becomes highly noticable, I wonder what the shareholders (who ultimately run the show) will make of a service which has stagnated for years?
PlayStation doesn't compete with third party games, they compete on consoles. They profit from third party games. If you're not comparing consoles there's no point in comparing.
I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.
Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?
Great analysis. Just joking.
Pretending like companies give a f about where they “rank” against each other is just super retarded. This isn’t the World Cup.
Tell me, how does “PC” compete against a brand like PlayStation? It just doesn’t make sense at all. What you just said, is complete and utter nonsense
I don't think PS cares about being in this so-called "last place" you came up with when they're making profits hand over fist.
microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail
Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.
The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.
Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
Thats what will go down im sure. I hope Microsoft says Native 4K a lot after a game is shown off or revealed. They gotta make sure the public knows this is a system to take advantage of there 4K tvs and provide the best experience.
E3 will be Lord Phils moment to say all this.
Gonna be lit.
How will Sony adjust to PS4 Pro not being the most powerful console anymore? Simple they can just say the best selling console, and best generation of games. No matter what PS4 user base is bigger than Xbox. It is the games that matters, not just a new paint job. Xbox One mostly have games that are already on PC, plus most of their games are not story driven, but multiplayer focus with little story. Gears 4 and Halo 5 had horrible storylines and they didn't make a dent in sells for PS4 at all. 4k 60fps would be great for a console, but the PC version of play anywhere games will be 10 times better with 4K 144fps monitors coming this year. Gears 4 on PC already trumps Gears 4 on Xbox One in frames and graphics.
Few more months people!
native 4k at 30fps (hopefully locked) and alpha effects reduced, possibly inferior shadows too. there will be compromise!
