@Ayebang @inspectre @bunchanumbers Sure every business is competitive. You have to be. I'm not trying to change your mind. You asked why people were hating on M$ and I answered.
@racerxgundam ":::CRICKETS:: from gamespot. no articles. no like interviewing M$ peeps. no goddam anything. these guys are just lazy bungholes."
Amen brother.
However, I can telly you exactly why the journalists don't question M$...you simply get blackballed. You say bad stuff about M$ and you don't get invited to anything ever again. No more exclusive Mass Effect interviews, no flying out to Redmond for hand's on of a new game, no game preview copies in your mailbox.
There ARE people in the industry who describe how it works, but no one talks about it because they don't want to go on "The list."
@Ayebang @DeanoFantasy I've got a feeling a subscription will be pretty much required this time around for Xbox. Let's hope we find out in a few days at E3.
@Ayebang @bunchanumbers Some of older guys have a perspective on M$ that goes back to it's founding. One thing you need to keep in the back of your mind is that M$ is always focused on dominance.
They're a pretty dark and ruthless bunch behind the sleazy smiling used car salesman schtick. They tell you what you want to hear then leave you hanging when you have a problem or you realize you didn't actually get what you paid for.
If you don't see that it's cool, but that's where some folks are coming from mentally.
@Playerpat0 I think Sony will give the fans what they want, but there will be a lot of new stuff like The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls. Naughty Dog and Quantic Dream could have just turned out sequels, but they're doing new stuff too.
We'll certainly get more MGS, FF, GT's and stuff, so you're definitely right there.
