I have never felt more for someone who put a very intelligent and detailed description of the current situation our world is in with ownership.

Microsoft's main console is the Series S, period. They will sell more of that console and make more money on that console. It is under powered, and as you said, it will begin to show mid-gen. If you disagree educate yourself on PC architecture and watch something like Digital Foundry's video on the S, there are a few shortcu...

This is exactly it. There will be 2 years of multiplatform games that will “look” better on XSX but 1st party Sony Studios will show what Cerny was describing about a different approach at development.
Star Citizen is a good example of how the engines will begin to work. SC runs poorly on HDD because it is built for SSD and their loading processes to go from space down to a blade of grass only works with instantaneous loading, I.e. what Cerny was talking about.

PS4 had more power (than XB1 OG) and good (Great?) games and came out way on top......I think they may do fine next gen.

Sony did it first, crossplay/cross-buy with Steam.

Xbox were the "leaders" last gen and had no intention of cross play. Now that they are marginally behind they are absolutely all for cross play. It's simple business.
They will continue not giving us real sales number...

Not only did Phil say that the X would have VR, Microsoft themselves did. Found this Holiday '17 promo for proof for any naysayers. It's a joke now, they have consistently fluffed up their brand with lies for years now.

Sounds about right. Verizon wants to run the internet and charge any competition (Microsoft, Sony, etc.) out the butt for the bandwidth usage of streaming. While they use their own "owned" data for next to nothing.

Well GameStop and Gameinformer are two peas in the same pod. I don't think this game was getting reviewed under a 9. With the popularity of Battle Royale and a COD with Battle Royale in it, this game is guaranteed to sell. Wouldn't let some review slow that down.

It is a fun Battle Royale, quick to jump in and out of. I just don't see how that, some rehashed Multiplayer and a few zombies levels dignifies a 9.5.

I'd say its a little of both, desperation and trying something new. When you see the Project Scorpio back on sale at GameStop it can be assumed they aren't selling consoles quickly. This new monthly sales model will for sure be here to stay. Makes it affordable for anyone (even if it sadly reinforces the I "can't afford it, I still want it" attitude).

And the same company that just put the hurt on Rom sites.

My only issue with PS UI vs Xbox UI is that the Xbox has too many ads littering "MY" home screen. If I wanted to buy something I will go to the store and look, I don't think I need 3-5 ads on my initial launch screen.

Sounds like a fine list! Wish we'd hear a date on Master Chief Collection though....

Now Microsoft can data collect from Alexa/Google Dot and sell off even more of our personal collected data. Gotta make up for those losses somewhere. This is a guarantee money maker, where new games would not be.

I own the ps1 version on PSN. I will stick to playing it on my Vita until they remove that darn trophy for jumping 1000 jump ropes! I want to replay and platinum this bad boy. Looks great though, I'm sure I'll cave once there's a sale.

I'm not trying to be a stickler, but I've been playing the most powerful console in the world since Nov 2013.

Lol that's why Sony pulled it from their ps3 after a short time (and to cut cost). If a game sells 900,000 copies it's probably a nice profit for most studios and publishers. When a person plays a backward compatibility game it makes no one money. It ends up just costing Microsoft resources and time where could be used elsewhere...*cough* new games *cough*

Not trying to be that guy but Kingdom Hearts Dream drop distance looks mighty fine on ps4 compared to 3ds. Proves 3ds to console can be done, and done well. Monster hunter on switch looks a little muddled.

First official bullshots, "bull"shots, or both? Hmmm
