Sony: Negative Xbox One response a "very useful source" for PS4

Sony E3 press conference was a gut shot directly at Microsoft. Xbox One paved the way for PS4 for the beginning of this race. I think in the end, people will come around though. Plenty of Xbox One's will still sell.

@Snakepond1

the future msoft proposed was blatantly anti-consumer/gamer.

msoft has every right to pursue their vision of a multi-media future and offer the appropriate services.

imo, all msoft has to do is re-implement many of those policies in a more consumer-friendly manner. in fact, with digital options looming i give msoft a distinct advantage going forward. they simply need to pull their heads out of their arses and lighten their payroll appropriately.

for me, i care about single player gaming only and, therefore, i won't be supporting msoft's vision, unless, they make it worth my while with price and service.

however, i will continue to monitor both them and sony and see how this all plays out.

Yep, and you guys buried them.

Now, launch an aggressive Sega style ad campaign, and make their policy changes moot.

@Imperiacommando 2-3 years? Might be a little optimistic, there. Still, consoles are optimized for gaming the way PCs tend not to be. Also, it costs less to get a console to game with for a couple of years than it does to get a gaming PC of any decent quality. Consoles are just simpler. I'd rather just throw down a few hundred dollars every few years and game without worrying about viruses, Steam, and hardware upgrades.

@Snakepond1 Microsoft tried to turn the Xbox One into the console equivalent of Steam. They gave nothing to the consumer, and sold our loss of ownership as the future and said "deal with it." Take of the green-tinted goggles. Personally, I don't care what games the Xbox One has, if I can't actually own them, and play them after support is cut for the console.

Oh wait... nevermind. Microsoft did a 180. Now they've decided to 'cave into whatever the gamers wanted' like Sony did. I guess Microsoft didn't even support their own ideology as much as you do.

@Snakepond1 My bets are on Sony. I'm normally not superstitious but I'm pretty sure Microsoft is going to suffer from the "third console curse", just as every other company has. Sega with its Saturn, Nintendo with its N64, and Sony with its Playstation 3. Those consoles caused financial hardship for their respective companies, it's only a matter of time that Microsoft has the same fate with the One. It's how they deal with the aftermath that will determine if their success in the follow generation.

Gamers made noise. Sony listened. Playstation 4 pre-ordered.

@Imperiacommando Why do people still compare console vs. PC, which is not possible, because the console is build to be a console, with everything on one board and the way it handles operations.

Here's my version of the interview: "Those complete idiots at Microsoft listened to our imbedded moles, and implemented Sony's strategy designed to make the xbox one the most anti-gamer device ever created."

Search "The xbox one is"

@jinflorida @kratos-lll @malokevi lol a failbox user would call someone "son" in that manner. What are you like 15 and think you have "swag" too? Sony > MS.

@Imperiacommando You said that an optimized console should be around $600-$700 but you also say the PS4 isn't optimized and is "medium" in PC standards. So why is the $399 for a "medium" powered PC bad?

@Imperiacommando

Sure when devs start finding loop holes to push the new system to its limit you will see some visually stunning stuff. I am glad they have opted for this price point. And I dissagree with the " standard PC"

The new name for the Xbox One

Good guy xbox one

nnnaaaaahhh ... i upgraded my pc with great intel/msi/Nvidia tech and i'll buy PS4 too and after a few months or a year i'll buy xbox one too, why should i miss games like killzone and the order and infamous second son? or why should i miss quantum break, halo and RYSE??? i want them all :D

If i was sony i would continue the onslaught. No headset with Xbox one well PS4 come with one. I would add a game for free at launch to bury the competition.
