I think MS should still look at expanding their digital services. Keep the shared library for digital content (even though currently it does not sound like they will). Show their customers how good they can actually make the service (and actually make it good) and by the next generation people may realize it was a actually a decent idea, just explained and presented poorly and at a time when customers weren't ready for it. And PS5 will copy them that generation too.

Rage is, Cash isnt

Now, now. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until Bit Coins can be used at dozens of online retailers.

Or could have been because Gamestop lost out big time with no used and said well you're not getting shelf space then Online Onry

ha.

I would love to see someone with like 1+k in games get an account ban for something outside their control, That would bring digital rights ownership to courts in a hurry I would think. Also Microsoft is retarded Not even Sony or Valve takes away the games you bought.I think origin does but people only use those for a few games.

I know for a fact if my Steam account was banned I would lawyer up in a minute since I have like 400 games on there.


Edit: Also about not getting yourself banned, Xbox had to blanket unban everyone not to long ago because they found an error in their auto ban software tghey couldnt tell who was banned for real and who was banned mistakenly so they just unbanned everyone

Here is the article my Uncle sent me this morning, over the last weekend I was talking to him about ps4 vs Xb1.

I find it all funny. Microsoft must have been so worried about sales to not stick to their guns and give the world a "different" counsel as they so much wanted to.

I wouldn't call them equal, all things considered. Sure, they have a comparable amount of RAM. But we know far more about the PS4's innards than we do the XBone's.

The price point is a huge advantage for the PS4, as is the initial hype they've already generated. PS4 has generated a ton of pre-orders already, which gives them a much stronger position moving into the next generation for courting exclusive contracts, among other things.

They also haven't announced any details about the self publishing system they have in play. And considering their previous stance on the issue, it's unlikely this has been in development for a while. We know it won't be a launch feature, and we have no clue when it'll be available. If the buyer cares about indie titles, the PS4 is going to be far more attractive at launch. If it's going to take a while for Microsoft to get this feature out there, that issue will be compounded.

It's also worth noting that the PS4 is aesthetically the sleeker device. The XBone is about the side of the massive PS3, with the PS4 being much closer to the size of the PS2.

The integration with the Vita, as it stands now, blows away what Microsoft has mentioned with Smartglass. And they've also announced about as much in way of using your phone/tablet with the system as Microsoft has.

There might be limited backwards compatibility through cloud streaming, which might give you access to any titles you purchased digitally already, as well as open up the PSN store to new users.

After that, it's mostly the TV features vs. the Social Media features. I don't personally care about either and I'm not willing to comment on what gamers would prefer. That said, Microsoft's apparent focus on the former has definitely soured their relationship with the gaming community.

Can the XBone catch up? Probably. But I'm fully expecting a similar slow start scenario like the PS3 had.

.

The same thing will be true that will always be true - the game will look best on the console it was designed and optimized for, and will look slightly worse on the console it was ported onto. There have been exceptions, but that rule has held pretty firmly.

You're not going to see the stuff beneath the hood getting made the most of in anything but exclusives. The vast majority of the games any of us will play next gen will be cross-platform, and they'll look fantastic. But with Sony's design architecture being easier to use this generation, combined with a solid head start at launch, they may end up with more finely tuned games than the XBone has. If you care that much about eeking out slightly better graphics/performance, but it's really not a big deal. The difference isn't going to match up against the content for exclusives.

Now if they'd just bring KH to the goddamn PC, I could forgo the console altogether...
