So basically your telling me because my friends enjoy playing on xbl its ok to charge ppl to play online while other systems pc/ps3/wii u provide free services to do the exact same thing. Makes sense? Lol

Theres a big difference though with psn because it provides free games, discounts, & gives u early access to betas & more which xbl doesnt offer none of besides playing online & a few apps. Ps plus is worth it and has value ...
Never seen anything like it before so yes it has potential to be revolutionary. Innovative written all over that 1 button. Going to be an awesome feat for the ps4. Cant wait to see more at e3.
I dout it. There are 46 million+ ppl paying for a p2p xbl service now, why would that change now? I think microsoft is leading the way with xbl & proving to all other companies that they can also charge for online & gamers will love it. It seems like thats where we are headed with online gaming thanx to xbl.
Edit: So im wrong? Prove me wrong then. =]
Edit: I thought so. Have a good day.
XBL is microsofts history of why they been successful. Other then that they have a few great exclusives but as for microsoft studios gaming portfolio is average at best.
Edit: Also in the other article about adam orth I couldnt respond with 2 bubbles. My bad xbox ppl.

Its because microsoft keeps shifting its focus to what brings in more cash. Due to lackluster sales of Alan Wake, Lost Odyssy, Blue Dragon & Others I didnt mention, this is...
I think I found the firing of Adam Orthe as evidence of his post on twitter may have had some truth. Look for him to come out with more evidence. I can see sony calling him up for some more details.
Edit: Maybe sony hires him? Who knows but u know sony will contact him somehow for more details. Things are heating up.
"Microsoft will essentially be offering gamers backwards-compatibility at the price of an additional console."
So u still need to pay extra so its BC with a price. Same will prolly go for the ps4. Mightest will keep your ps3 or 360 if u want BC.
The Last of Us will keep me busy. Cant wait to see the multiplayer, should be tons of fun aswell.
I think its the exact opposite. May I remind u that sony is always is open to new ideas & Drive Club looks to add to what we already seen with Gt & Forza and take the experience to the next level. I truelly believe this racer is the next big thing to GT if not better. Motorstorm was such an awesome series Evolution Studios is so underrated & hopefully they achieve their dream with Drive Club which I believe they will with sony.
Microsoft next system is more focused on multimedia & apps then a gaming machine. I can see why they want it to be a cable box, obviously for the money but I also believe their actions speak volumes of what to expect of the 720. It will be the same as what they offered with the 360 but with a cable box. Dont look for alot of new exclusives because microsoft already proved that is not the way to make more money. They will rely on mostly 3rd party support & exclusive dlc & the cable...
I been using my ps3 ever since I came back to n4g & facebook so to me 1gb is more then enough for the ps4 os & I been using the ps3 through wifi. Good news to me if true.
I know one thing for sure is the uncharted series was the 1st game to bring a movie to life but experience it while playing it. Its what set the bar where it is today with cinematic gameplay. Its why so many love it. Ppl who enjoyed the new tomb raider who never played an uncharted game now know why so many love the uncharted series.

Totally agree with u bro.

That would be valid if microsoft used that for gaming but they clearly aint doing that. If they are, where are the new innovative ip's u speak of for opening new doors or where is the risk for taking on a new creative games that u speak of? It's easy to talk the talk but it doesn't mean "Nothing" if the company cant walk the talk that u preach with risks. It's all about making money for microsoft and not spending much to do it. If they re...

It has nothing to do with microsoft's success right now. What really matters is the future of the gaming industry as a whole and what lies ahead of of us.
I have no problem with stiff competition aslong as it stays the way it has this gen with the 360/ps3/wii. No matter what order the outcome was all 3 was successful & its win win for all gamers.
The true problem is if these 720 rumours are true or false. I dont care if mi...
As I stated before if the rumours are true. I do not want microsoft to succeed only because if all this works out for microsoft, everyone else will want a piece of that and they will follow in that stradegy to make more money. Microsoft clearly is trying to change the gaming industry with their stupid stradegy and it will only lead to the gaming industry dying out. Notice the lack of creativity & innovation coming from microsoft. They cleary arent looking to better the gaming industry but...
Yet they still find ways to keep their fanbase happy with new ip's. Pretty sad if u ask me to see richer companies make billions for fees to play online yet repay their own fanbase with AAA 3rd party games u can also find on other systems. Really smart of them in a business aspect if u ask me. Too bad their fanbase dont see it that way. Screw games aslong as they making that money so we can pay their bills, im happy. Lol
The gaming industry would lose alot if nintendo or sony were to drop out. Microsoft on the other hand would not be a huge loss besides just being competition because of all the money they have but they can be definitely replaced. I base this from what they have brought to the gaming industry as a whole. If they deserve any credability it would be making online gaming on consoles where it is today. Other then that they aint much to brag about with their portfolio of games coming from their own...
The real problem is that almost every major gaming site are bringing up this issue. It would be easy to discredit the rumour if it were just sum unknown source that was looking for hits but the fact that one of microsofts own employees was defending it just seems to heat these rumours up even more. Since he decided to defend always online, why not just tweet saying, "U can still play your games offline"? I dont see how saying that would be hurting anything about the 720 if the rumou...
They also lost over nine thousand fans according to a great source. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
The Last of Us will my goty but next gta, bioshock infinite, the last of us, watch dogs, & two souls will win a few goty awards as for goty its a toss up.
Kinect is a good example of what this article is about. Its not my cup of tea but for a crappy device 500 million dollars worth of advertising money can do wonders.
