[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] You see this is something I dont get, and something that is quite common. For instance, there are many times you see on a talk show some movie star talking about how they got addicted to cocaine or some such drug and then how they beat their addiction. Or some guy who got obese and then lost all that weight and what a hero he is. Its like people want to be applauded for acting right. How about the guy who stayed away from drugs his whole life? Why not interview him? Or the guy who exercised his whole life and stayed fit? I dont think we should be applauding people for messing up and then trying to rectify it when the crap hits the fan. Sure, we should acknowledge that they eventually made a change for the better, but in my books, I have more respect for the guy who never messed up in the first place. So no, MS does not deserve any "credit" for doing what they should have done in the first place. Although I will agree that the constant bashing even after the reversals is excessive and uncalled for.Zaibach

I don't even understand how that is even a question. Redemption is always far more intriguing to people than someone who has basically never taken a wrong turn in their life. have you ever been around addicted people? That's some horrifying shit right there.

Look at Robert Downy jr. That dude was as low as you can get, but he realized his mistakes and got his shit together. Look at him now. He's one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. That takes a lot of strength and is very impressive. There are many people that don't make it back from that.  

doing the wrong thing is easy, doing the right thing is hard. Basic facts of life, while redemption may make for a great movie of the week, it takes great strength to stay on the straight and narrow.  Fvcking up and redeeming yourself is not a cause of applause, this is what has been entrenched in our entitled instant gratification society. 

Then why is everyone applauding the PS4. Sony completely F$%^ UP with the PS3 and now they are redeeming themselves with the PS4. Cows are applauding them like a mother@#$%^&.!! I await your damage control for an answer.

Whats sony official word on the ram os allocation?  The cpu speed?   Are they running something similar to a hot chips conference to talk about all the inner workings of the ps4?  Is it 6 gigs for games or 4.5 or do we go with what neogaf thuway says?      Jist wondering because Sony hasnt said a thing.  Microsoft on the other hand has laid out pretty much everything in regards to the xbo.  Heck its been non stop news.   Sony just gets a free pass I guess and thats ok it seems

Because they've gone over all of that **** with developers. While Sony was giving lectures at GDC 2013, Microsoft wasn't even talking about the Xbox One. Sony went over the system's architecture, design philosophy and online features. There is literally no reason for Sony to tell the general public anything other than the bullet points regarding the system architecture. It serves no purpose.

Do people honestly believe Sony wouldn't have a funtioning retail console at this point? People should start to undestand that developers very very rarely use retail models at conventions. Sony isn't hiding the retail version. from anyone. 

yet everyone wasnt saying the same for Microsoft.    There is a double standard here, all im doing is pointing it out, i think its comical as well, but Sony seems to get a pass, whereas MSFT gets slaughtered and has to answer why lococycle bounced to a windows 7 desktop at e3?

Having a function PS4 and actually showing it running a PS4 game to hardcore gamers are two completely different things. If M$ did this, there would be an outcry from Cows and bias fanboys everywhere that XB1 will somehow be delayed now. lol!!

yall drag ms in the mud for positive thing upclock cpu&gpu but sony has been to three major gaming conferences and no ps4 a bunch off demos of games running on dev kits thats more powerful than the ps4 and the fanboys eat that up. People it's coming out in three months and no ps4 that would make me nervous.

The truth is Sony f'dup and wont meet production targets, half of you who have pre-ordered the console will not get it for launch day.

I hope you're wrong, but the fact that we haven't see a large quantity of PS4 hardware at ANY of the event is kind of scary. By now they should already have a few 100K made and ready to ship. They are launching before the XB1. ***************************************************************************************************

Why do they have to? Are people skeptical about the PS4 actually existing?

SexyJazzCat
No, they are skeptical about the games actually running on the hardware and looking like they do during the big shows. Whereas M$ showed Forza 5 and DR3 running on actual XBox One hardware, we really haven't see the same with KZ:SF or Drive Club.

why would anyone need to question it. We've seen how it looks, and we'll be getting it when it comes out.

KZ:SF multiplayer was available for the public on PAX.

I am curious about it myself. But it doesn't seme to be an issue since they already have FCC approval, which itself would require them to send a fully assembled unit for examination.

Not to mention they stated that they will be able to meet their world-wide pre-order counts for all territories and that they picked a Release date a couple weeks ago.

No mention of chip shortages or anything like that either.

So.. I guess they just want to keep it under wraps? Perhaps they are still considering some tweaks?

Who knows. I'm not concerned.

Your statement is dumb as hell. Would you like some A1 sauce to go with that pile of BS?
