WTF man fanboy console war is one of THE reason why GAF exists.

Yeah you really should accept that yoga and other casual stuff on consoles is dead (thankfully).
Sony is not losing money btw.
yep... lots of fun, yay!
At the end of the day, it's all about gaming. For me, Sony has shown a stronger focus there, despite adding other features that they do not put behind a pay-wall in order to use. I appreciate the fact that they are making it clear that they are releasing a gaming console first and foremost. Good old Playstation.
Good keynote. lol at all the people trolling about Aliens in the comments.
Yes they are, 8 quarters in a row now: http://news.yahoo.com/sony-trims-quarterly-loss-115-million-063049363--finance.html
Also, how much money has PS3 brought to Sony overall?
Yeah this entire thing talks about smartphones and TVs, and also mentions how panasonic and sharp are doing even worse in the market. This isn't really gaming relevant.

It's literally a copy/paste form the first google hit when you search for "arrogant sony quotes". You guys have issues if you think I have these at hand. And no, I don't have one for MS/Nintendo because the thread is not about Nintendo/MS.
I just corrected AOC83 who claimed that "Sony isn't losing money btw". Because they are.

Since we are discussing consoles here i was obviously talking about SCE. And they are not losing money at the moment, so their direction actually can´t be that bad even without these allmighty yoga games.

Well, I officially love catty Sony if it means a few ads can upset some people up here so much.
I understand saying that for the Vita, but for the PS3 are you serious? Because that would be pretty funny, though not as funny as these ads.
Edit: Beaten, but obvious.
PS3 = Woeful first party support? Maybe in 2006 you would have a valid reason for saying that, but in 2013?
What?
He's wrong with Vita too. Unless ~13 first party games in 1 year is horrible now or something. If that's the case I'd have to ask him how he feels about the 360 recently.

Sony better deliver a show of epic proportions.
There is no way back...
This PlayStation meeting has hyped me more than the previous E3's combined.
Let the games do the talking, no bullshit target CGI renders please. Show us gameplay.

"War has changed...."
Don't expect too much of that with E3 only a few months later. I'm sure the bulk of the PS4-related reveal will still be then. If they can get the tech talk out of the way on the 20th and leave E3 for games they tease on the 20th, it would be the best. They gotta show SOME kind of games obviously, but not much until E3.
Also weird so many people seem to play consoles instead of games...
Let's party like it's 2006!

"War never changes...."
Eh, I suppose that with the start of a new generation and new consoles releasing you will get the crazy console warriors come out from hiding.

I expect good and bad from both Sony and MS this year. I expect I'll own both consoles eventually, but for the first time, I doubt I'm going to be an early adopter. Leaning more towards a PS4 first though just because I like Sony's exclusives more usually and because of PS+. There will be rivers of nectar sweet schadenfreude pouring from every thread on GAF this year though. I'm sure it shall be glorious like nothing I've seen in my short time here.
Don't share the gif hate, most have been hilarious regardless of who they are ripping on.

I love a little trash talk.
It's been my plan all along to get the next XBOX. I love the Forza franchise. I believe PGR, or a spiritual successor, is on its way. And I adore the Halo universe despite being terrible at FPS.
That said, I am increasingly excited about the PS4. I did not get a PS3, as I could never justify (nor afford) the cost given the only exclusive franchise I want to play is MLB The Show.
That said, The Show looks better than ever. Sony is talking a little smack. And fond memories of late-night gaming sessions with my PS are flooding back.
I'm about to be broke.

...Or you could just sell them if you don't want it.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I highly doubt that most people that have enough awareness to hit the shift and 4 key to create the $ for M$ to reference their products are actually financially invested in Microsoft's ecosystem to begin with.
Pretty harsh, hate to hear what you think about MS and ninty's first-party if that's your opinion of Sony.
Might as well make a documentary vid for youtube of the feeling that you get when you can walk into a Gamestop to trade in or even sell a game to a friend.

Seeing the butthurt over an ad is pretty funny.
Happened? It only just begun!
God damn, you have to be joking right?............right?
Casuals inflated sales of Wii and Kinect and also took focus away from core games. The statement about Yoga suggests that Sony aren't focusing on casual games at the start of this next generation, which should woo core gamers.
It's funny though how people try to take the statement and "guilt" Sony because they make fitness games too. I don't think Sony was trying to demonize Nintendo or Kinect- just cautioning people that success in the casual space does not translate to greater appeal in the core space.

Oh man:
PS4 vs. Durrango
Consoles vs. iOS
Wii U vs. the Grim Reaper
This console war is going to be the most epic in the history of gaming. Fantastic year ahead.

I'm sorry but when did Kinect become 80% of the Xbox's lineup? Move has pretty much the same amount of shovelware for it as Kinect does.

listen to the mad man
This isn't debate and there is no substance; this is smack-talking. Sony might as well be saying "Hey Microsoft, yo momma so ugly she made medusa turn 2 stone". There's no need to intellectualize this, there's no philosophy of game design being discussed here. And it's not cherry picking--Sony's entire tenure in the video game market they've been saying this kind of braggadaccio stuff. The substance is context-dependent, but all falls under "What we're about to do is awesome, our competitors suck, QED"
