That's probably the best and simple way of putting it.
MSFT has lots of money and has always bought success. I think this may ultimately hurt gaming if they continue the way it's going.

The Xbox was easier than ps2, and more powerful. It wasn't a noticeable difference. Digital foundry will see it and no one else. People acting like there will generational difference between the two are wrong. Will they look better? Probably. Will anyone besides message board console warriors pointing to checked boxes care? Nope.

When you kill a company you do so to take its market share? Microsoft has been trying to rebrand itself as not a "mere gaming" console since 2010.

Not if the gap is at Bayonetta level which can totally happen multiple times. Bayonetta is the simultaneously released multiplatform mainstream game with the highest ratio of XBOX360 sales, 1 copy every 2 PS3 ones (100000 vs 200000).
Talkin' a lot of shit, MS. Better deliver the goods at E3!
Give me mah Crackdown 3, bitches!
No question about it.

It seems people are not getting mad, but dismissive. I don't blame them after the Xbone reveal.
No doubt.

Do they even have a PR department?
Overall it probably is, if the cpu and spe's are properly utilised. But obviously it's more laborious to do on the development side, which is why early on it was mainly only the first parties that made the best use of them.
See, that's because the PS3 port was flat-out shitty. I don't think Xbone ports will be ~20fps while Sony will flaunt 60fps.

Sony didn't back up its smack talk with games. What MS does has yet to be determined.
Well I don't think X1 is as complicated to develop for as PS3 was but you may be right with the better dev tools and power advantage for PS4. All I'm saying is that if the 2 versions are identical it's not because MS "made them do it". As for PS4 versions being better that's cool as I'll have one by default. It's MS that I'm suspicious of.

So 2013 MS = 2006 Sony confirmed?

Man, I hope they redeem themselves with Crackdown 3. So much potential. Crackdown 2 just was....disappointing.
So the only reason you think Sony money hatted these games is because they stopped getting releases for the Saturn? Even when in many cases the Saturn is the only platform they dropped? How does that make sense?
I just don't see why Sony would go out of their way to make games not get released for the Saturn, a platform that was already failing anyway while allowing other ports?

And the games they showed came out about 5 years later. (FFXIII, GT5)

Loved Crackdown 1. Bought Crackdown 2 but never opened it. I hope Crackdown 3 is in a whole new city and you can actually enter more buildings. And have boats and planes to fight with as well.

Yeah, it does. Even though it has already been past their reveal we still have to determine wether games is something Microsoft is interested in.

I wouldn't bother if i were you.They already believe that somehow GAF loves Sony and hates poor MS.

That would be a monopolistic amount of money hat. All ea games exclusive for 6 months ! That ex cod game sounds like it would be their top game moneyhatted, if its anything like cod i personally dont care, others will. I do wonder if gaf would hold their ground or give in and forget the whole drm, no used game, always kinect problems and overlook them. Interesting

This is one of the first honest posts of this kind that I've read in a while.
You don't see a difference between financing and partnering with a smaller studio compared to essentially paying to remove a game from another platform?
A good comparison for the Sony-Quantic Dream partnership would be Microsoft-Remedy, and I don't think anyone is complaining, both partnerships seem to be very good for all partners involved.
I'd LOVE for Microsoft to spend money on similar partnerships - and their internal studios.
But for them to pay to actually keep COD away from PS4? Do you really think that's a similar situation?

This is exactly how I feel regarding MS. So far everything has been going the way of the PS4 for me so if Microsoft shows something truly revolutionary and maybe fixes some of the screw ups it's done so far - it's going to be tough deciding.

Several reliable people have said as much - it's at least a timed deal.

People expecting a big difference in graphics between the two are going to be disappointed. Everything with a decent budget behind it is going to look fucking amazing.

I came here to post something similar - though I think Respawn's new game is actually being published by EA. But according to Respawn's own website they say multi-platform for their next game? http://www.respawn.com/games/

The decision of which console you'l buy can only be hard if you've already made up your mind.
Let wait to see what E3 offers. MS seems pretty confident of their lineup. Sony has a long history of lets be honest, piss-poor launch lineups.
But they could very well bring the heat this time. E3 should be magnificent.

Sony has the number of first party developers behind them and the console reveal reception to support this. They showed multiple exclusive launch window titles and have a lot more studios than MS. MS doesn't have a history of a lot of AAA first party IPs, nor did their console reveal instill confidence in their game library. They're the ones that have to prove something, and boasting like this doesn't do that.

TBH if MS has the next Rockstar game as an exclusive or even GTA5, then they got me by the balls. I'd gladly bend over despite online DRM if the Xbone is <$399
Why not?
Gotta love honesty. I'm sure there are plenty more like you sans the balls to say it lmao.

I think you are underestimating the hardware difference between the consoles. There is seriously no logical reason why the PS4 version won't look and run much better other than the developer deliberately gimps the version to not hurt Xbone's feelings.. Any game that can scrap 30fps on Xbone should be running 60 on PS4 flawlessly.
