True that, but even this line up is much better than many give it credit for.
There's a difference when you're Sony or Microsoft (IE you're part of the competition), and when you're *press*
Even when you're officially endorsed and licensed press, integrity would dictate to keep the jabs at bay. It's what part of being press is.
Why would one trust their reviews of Xbox games if they mock Sony's games? It casts a shadow on their ability to remain neutral.
Mind you, I would have found *nothing...
I actually read most of the reviews, and most of the mixed ones seem to be fruit of excessive expectations mind you.
The games are better than a lot of journos give them credit for.
*pats*
Honestly, I can't imagine how people could consider credible someone that openly admits pixel counting from compressed videos. Saw that on NeoGaf and was like "ok, not touching this crap with a ten feet pole."
I did expect to see it appear on N4G a few minutes after, obviously, and in fact I was not disappointed.
Actually it seems that the dude that pixel counted from youtube videos dun goofed, not Infinity Ward.
Fake rumor. IW denied it. Not surprised.
Seriously, he was doing pixel counts from compressed videos.
I sure hope that all the teases Keighley is dropping aren't just overhype lol.
"An exclusive skin on PlayStation consoles! yay!"
I doubt it's like that, but it'd be kind of hilarious.
Companies don't think in those terms. They don't think in "we want to make this much money with the console, this much with the games, and this much money with the additional services."
They think in terms of platform, and Sony has been showing more and more to be doing just that. The console, the royalty with games, PlayStation plus, and every form of income that is part of the "Platform" is counted in.
As long as the platform as ...
Probably like the PS3 is now.
@jukins: the largest percentage of console gains aren't made by selling consoles. They're made by selling games and grabbing royalties on them. More consoles out, mean more games sold.
Also, the future of making money with consoles, especially for Sony that has started this just recently, is by selling additional services like PlayStation plus.
Guess what? A large percentage of the PS4 out there will turn into a nice monthly/threemontly/annual fee c...
The disagree army of denial is out in full force tonight.
Indeed :D
Cheaper for Sony ultimately means cheaper for the consumer as well.
It's not in Sony's interest to keep the difference between cost and price high. Lower price means more sales. Mole sales lead to higher installed base, that means more developers jumping on board, and with them, more royalties rolling in, and again more sales.
Sony has a history of dropping price as soon as they manage to drop cost.
@moegooner88: yeah but that was before the fact, so he may not have known that the kid was in Paris. Some overzaelous manager may have very well not told him at all due to the knee injury. They normally treat Soccer players as porcelain dolls here in Europe.
Not saying it MUST have gone like this, mind you, but it could.
PS: though they sure do tell him he has to pose on a throne dressed like a clown to advertise xbox one :D
wow. I'll take that with a grain of salt because the daily mail tends to sensationalize, but it was a real di*k move if it's true.
Also, it's not a given that it's his fault, to be honest. That kind of sportsman normally has several layers of managers and caretakers, and it's very possible that the fact never even reached him.
For the record. It wasn't registered today, just updated today. It was already registered in July.
Yeah they give 7 days even with cod ghosts, I guessed 7 days would have been the case here too.
But hey, it's free.
Lessee, between Shuhei Yoshida and lovable on N4G... who will I believe.
Boy that's a hard decision. I'll get back to you on that one :D
OXM is not Microsoft.
Microsoft and Sony are *part* of the competition, so it's ok for them to troll each other.
When you're press, it's quite different. Integrity would dictate to keep a level of neutrality, no matter if you're specialized on a brand.
