At least they finally admit something they did wrong and listened for once.

Still going PS4 anyways, my mind has been made up.

Not to mention, Playstation simply has better looking exclusive titles. **** Halo and GoW. I'm so mad I can't play The Last of Us, wish I woulda bought a PS3 but I'm not gonna go do that now.

Are they dropping the price too? None of that even matters if its still $100 more.

Which console do you think parents are going to buy their kids for Christmas if one is $100 cheaper?

the problem is that they tied kinect to the console. If they hadn't done that, they could have sold it cheaper with kinect being an addon. They are banking on people loving something they didn't like in the last gen.

Well, don't mistake what I was saying as any kind of support for Microsoft. It's more about being surprised that people in a general sense don't recognize where Sony is ultimately headed. Although I guess I shouldn't be. People as a group tend towards blindly following, especially when they have a chance to pick a perceived side and get that pack mentality going.

We all know this is eventually what they are heading to but it needs to be gradual. Set it up so the consumer can slowly see some value in it over the long haul. Don't just make a drastic change the public isn't even close to ready for.

for instance, the family sharing library is a cool idea so roll that out for only for certain digital download games. Let people see how it will work and get accustomed to it. For that to work though they need to allow 2 users at a time though. The owner of the game should be able to play it when ever they want. Your 10"family" members can duke it out for the ONE other login available for it,.

They really had to do this. Microsoft was just getting eaten alive in the PR battle.

I'm pretty sure that camera doesn't cost them anywhere near $100 a console to put in. Even with it in there, I bet M$ cost per console is below $400.

Its a stupid gimmick anyways.

Probably the one that the kid cries and stomps his feet for

and didn't they tell that Angry Joe guy and some others that this was built from the ground up and was not possible to change?

But maybe they should change their title to the Xbox 180 now.

Also, with a game like The Last of Us (looks amazing, haven't played it) as a Sony exclusive. Everybody like me is sitting here sad because we can't play it, wishing that we would have bought a PS3. That's awfully good timing for an epic exclusive game to come out, in the midst of the console wars. That tells people that they should buy Sony for the exclusives, if nothing else.

I mean, what are Xbox's exclusives right now? Halo, GoW, Forza and Dance Dance Revolution? Who gives a shit about any of those? haha

well played Sony.

Not true. My kids wanted the xbox. I preordered the PS4. If they want to pool their money for a xbox that is on them.

Yep, Major Nelson kind of chastised Joe for stating it would be easy for MS to drop the 24 hour restriction. Love the egg on his face.

kcxiv 06-19-2013 05:45 PM

i told ya they have a plan b and c and d! There will be more changes. Microsoft see's preorders from major retailers. They wanted to see whta they could get away with from gamers and well, not this. lol


We all seen this coming. It was just when would they go public with the news

Uh they have TitanFall which looks absolutely incredible, Quantum Break, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, and games that haven't even been announced yet like Black Tusk's secret game.

Sony will have awesome exclusives no doubt but so will MS...and right now it's not even close.
