This comment is going to look pretty stupid come E3.
Why? Sony has more exclusives than Microsoft this gen(IMO).
Is it going to be different next gen?
This comment is going to look pretty stupid come E3.
Nope. Or at least nope going forward. I agree with the last half of the gen.
No, it won't. And even if it's true, Microsoft has shown for the last two generations that they start out strong with exclusives and then trail off. Take the past two years, for example.

Heard a new rumor about the PS4 gamepad from someone who works for a big developer who claims to have examined it:
1. PS Move tech built in
2. Has a trackpad in the middle
3. Controller ID shown in color (did not understand what this meant, waiting for clarification, either means multicolor LED's or a led display)
4. PS4 Coming December 13
After thinking about it Sony going to have very hard battle .
If games look as good on both consoles it going to come down to services and features.
Which MS seem to be allowing you to do more while playing games which is a big plus .
Don't think Sony first party going to be enough
games look the same on the current consoles though
it all comes down to exclusives imo
MS pretty much gave up on exclusives
So services or exclusive games?
Seems like an easy decision to me, but I buy a console to play games.
Trackpad? Please only use it for the browser, Sony.
Because there's this insane belief that some (SOME, not all, not even a majority) Sony fans believe that they are the company who cannot fail at providing bleeding edge tech and whatnot since they're the most "hardcore friendly" between MS and Sony.
Don't worry. This isn't true in any way possible. This is a recipe for disaster; not only the features of controller itself but also the release date.

yeah when 3rd party exclusives still existed, they're extinct.Actually MS started out really big with exclusives last gen.
For some reason I have this feeling that when Durango launches, Xbox Live will be totally different from what it is now, an that includes paying for online multiplayer.There are two things that will make this potentially difficult for Sony:
- Price
- Pay for Online
If they launch within reason of Durango, and keep the free online, they're sitting comfortably for the next generation. I really don't see them not leading unless Microsoft pulls off a Wii, which is unlikely if anything. If the current generation showed anything, it's that the Playstation brand is very, very strong. It's not an exaggeration to call how they handled the PS3 a disaster. Just mistake after mistake after mistake. They still managed to recover though.
They just need to continue providing good value through PS Plus, a steady stream of first party exclusives, and be a great general media device. If they manage to mess up again, then they really deserve to fail.
The competition between Orbis and Durango is going to be North America. That's where MS is strongest and where Sony lost a lot of market share.

The market was definitely more....flexible then it is now, pertaining to buying games/consoles. I think next gen will be rocky for both companies.I wish the market was more like it was ten years ago, because even then consoles were selling fine and there was more interest in developing for dedicated handhelds. You didn't have the choice of what to play mobile games on, so it was more of a win-win situation.
Growing up with NES/SNES, at the time I felt the PS1 and eventually PS2 provided titles that were out of boundaries to what we were used to. Japanese RPGs were unique and provided deep storylines which Nintendo games never provided. There were no equivalent of Einhander (Squaresoft), FF7, MGS, Driver and GT on any other systems. Having 1000+ games to choose from didn't hurt either.
I don't think they game up on them , i expect to see a big push by MS come next gen .
Where both Sony and MS going to have a good amount of exclusive so it comes down to services and features where MS seem to have the edge .
While MS might hot have as much as Sony if any body thinks MS not coming out the gate with a few Gear like exclusives kidding there self .

4. PS4 Coming December 2013 and games can use up to 100GB of data. Don't know if this means a different kind of blu-ray or just games that come on 2 blu-rays.

MS will start off strong, either in moneyhatting the hell out of Big IP's or showing off big ass IP's. Most likely the latter since they need them the most. They know how to play the game.
I honestly believe that a vast majority of people do not give a damn about features and they're betting on the wrong horse. Microsoft seems to want to create an all-in-one device, but that already exists. It's called a smart phone. I felt like they lost their way the second half of this generation by focusing on a bunch of features no one was clamoring for.

What exclusives does Microsoft have? Halo and Gears? They jumped ship 2 years ago and focused on being the best box for COD.

A mix for sure. The one thing that will be nice is the return to 3rd party exclusives. The best part is there is a VERY good financial reason for some companies to go to something like that versus double dipping a development schedule. Especially if there is "lets just say" a parity contract being enforced. This swings both ways by the way. Of course. For both Sony and MS and WiiU
I would say that it paid off big time. They were able to keep prices of the system way up with services and kinect. With out those they would be in rough shape IMO. I would not be shocked to see lot of big time exclusive games come E3 for MS. I think they sent their teams to next generation sooner because they could. Sony still has big teams working on current generation because they have to. While it would suck to wait a few months but damn I wish the last of us was a launch PS4 title.
Halo, Gears, Forza & Kinect shite.
Will be slightly disappointed if Durango is more powerful than Orbis, only because I want Sony's first party to have the absolute best they can to show of that tech, that and I generally prefer buying multi platform titles on PS3 due to free online. Be annoying if Microsoft has the edge on multi titles again due to a slight performance advantage.
Interesting seem MS went all out with customization while Sony did not .
Ok, fine. But on paper the PS3 seemed like it could dwarf the 360 in 2005.
their exclusives are only as good as the competition. if nintendo and sony are releasing 6+ exclusives a year while MS is releasing 1 something is wrong.
sony have invested strongly in exclusives this gen
I should point out that having more services and features plus games looking the same is huge marketing point for MS.
If it's anything MS knows how to do is market stuff .
For eg lets you can record stuff MS saying play the next COD while recording a TV show would be huge if Sony can't do with amount marketing dollars they would put behind it .
Third parties.
The reports of their death may be greatly exaggerated. Did it ever occur that the death of the 3rd part exclusive had a lot to do with the fact that nobody was willing to pay for them?
What if COD is Durango exclusive? How will that affect the NA market?
Previous exclusive don't matter as much during the launch of a console. It is time for the companies to launch new IPs and hope some stick for the long term.
I think for E3 2013, they'll show
2 Rare titles
1 Lionhead title
1 Epic title
Alan Wake 2
The Black Tusk Shooter
Ryse
7 exclusives for E3 isn't bad, unless Sony shows off 10 or more.
Who in the hell doesn't have DVR nowadays?

A smart company wouldn't go for a massive 3rd party dev that requires a huge payout. But instead go for a couple of the smaller companies that would LOVE to have that extra help both financially and coming to grips with new systems. It spreads your dev portfolio and gets you quantity for less and lets you see if anything catches in the new gen.
I don't know a single person who owns a DVR.
