Right now, PS4 games are dominating metacritic charts with incredible low-budget games like Flower (The only AAA next-gen game right now) and Resogun, both which have managed to outscore every Xbone AAA-budget exclusive titles.

I bet there were like 5 people working on Flower... LOL... And it's still a much better game than the 200+ manpower AAA-budget projects Microsoft paid for and is working on.

SONY is more efficient with their budget. Just imagine what a AAA-budget Naughty Dog title will be like? Man, can't wait

The new generation just started, only time will tell.

Hopefully Microsoft learns that spending more money does not mean better games. If the people working o the games have no soul, it'll always be an inferior AA-game at best.

Different standards. If Resogun and Flower were 60 dollar retail games they wouldn't have been as well received.

Right now Xbox One and Wii U have an AAAE title. PS4? Not yet.

I honestly can't tell if the OP is trolling, or is just ignorant.

Please read what you actually posted, apply just a small amount of critical thinking, and try again.

Happy Saturday.

They should just fire all the American staff and hire people from over sea China. Every Company should do this, really. Unless you work for IGN, in which case you are probably a white casuasain 20 year old blond.

Battlefieldfan 2,3, and 4 are banned already?

I mean, calling Flower a Next-gen game already shows your stupid.

The orginal xbox was a fail, but you can also look at it has future investment by getting their name out there and building due to Sony having already established a name for them self with ps1

orginal xbox may have lost a lot of money but has you can clearly see begin making profit from 2008 AND continues to make a profit!

Great, so maybe in 10 years if Sony doesn't dominate Microsoft, which it appears it may this generation, Microsoft may break even. I bet my last dollar that Microsoft's investors will pressure the company to sell of this money pit and be done with it. This will be the last Xbox.

ok old sport, You will lose your last dollar

last time i check sony was selling buildings. Has the old slogan goes "it cost money to make money"
