[QUOTE="TheKingIAm"]The X1 is a disaster atmshawn30

C'mon, you at least have to admit SONY & Cerny did a better job at designing and engineering the internals of their console.

MS backing down is a joke, If anything is called better decision making now, and with months before launch wise moves will pay off in the long-term. I feel bad for the countries not getting Xbox One on launch, but I dont blame MS or any company in looking at and prioritizing the markets that will perform the best for them. That's just smart business. The core attributes of the Xbox One are still there, and what was taken out will return as an option rather than being shoved down peoples throats. f course this is system wars, so Cows gonna see every single MS news item as negative. But all in all they are now answering concerns of people who atually want to buy the system, and making the finished product better months before launch. Who wins ths sales war isnt padding my bank account no matter who it, lol. But the Xbox One for me is just the much better system than the PS4. I'm fine with the changes.

Hard for me to think that a console with no multiplayer is the better console. :|

Like I said Xbone is dead on arrival and after it fails M$ will leave the gaming industry (atleast the console part of it).

They won't leave the gaming industry just yet. They'll probably try 2 or 3 more times before giving up. If SONY doesn't make another PS3-like disaster, Microsoft may never have a chance at regaining 360-like sales for their future consoles.

They'll probably support it for 3 years before canning it and making a console with 12 GB of GDDR6 RAM and a 3.0 TF GPU.

Architecturally, the xbox ONE is a disaster. Not only is it noticeably weaker than the PS4, it's also more expensive to manufacture and has yield issues. There is no way SONY isn't going to cruch Microsoft.

There you have it. When Alan Kertz said "gen 4", he meant next-gen.

The DS4 is superior to the xbox ONE controller. :lol:

cows are pathetic, they care more about the xbox one than they do the POS4.   maybe its because they have no games, or the 4.5 of ram, i dont know, they just cant stop talking about the xbox one.

Excellent observation, but that has nothing to do with my topic.

No, they were at the drawing board for months, if not years prior. They didn't just blurt it out on stage on a whim. :?

And they needed too, PSN was a financial black hole for them, they sank a shitton of money into and gained very little back. Pretty much a necessary step, and one they can get away with because the competition is charging too.

Well, you have to spend money to build an infrastructure. Of course it wouldn't be profitable this gen. 

The xbox division makes several hundreds of millions in profit every year, but it still hasn't made back the money Microsoft spent on it when it was starting.

You may be thinking to yourselves, "What? The xbox ONE is failing. lolololololol... SONY will winrar next-gen", but let's have a look here.

Lots of cows think the free multiplayer service on the PSN was a gigantic advantage compared to the paid service on XBL. In fact, many cows here assumed that online play would remain free for the next-generation and declared a multiplayer paywall as the final straw that would push them towards a PC or the xbox. 

With the huge backlash Microsoft received after the xbox ONE unveiling and after their E3 conference, I can't help but wonder if SONY just added their multiplayer paywall as a last minute money-grabbing decision, hoping that the negative PR from the xbox ONE would make everyone ignore it.

Normally, people have the tendency to remember the first and the last things on a list and every company knows this. The fact that SONY added the paywall as the last feature of PS+ membership feature list just makes the whole thing highly suspicious and makes me feel it was added right after Microsoft's E3 conference.

What do you think? Would cows still have free multiplayer had the xbox ONE not had its draconian DRM policies?

I do. He's a good poster and has great things to say if you stopped being a blind lemrat.

Where do I flipflop?

I plan on getting BOTH consoles and I give credit to both SONY and Microsoft where credit is due.

This system wars mentality that you have to support 1 company and 1 company only is beyond stupid.
