Well it's either b/c: (1) MS through them a TON of $ (a potentially smart business decision); (2) They wanted to "stick it" to Sony for the no DRM (an absolutely moronic business decision); (3) they thought XB1 would dominate PS4 (a dumb business decision).Quote:

I suppose they could start selling XB1s for $199 or something but barring something truly HUGE MS is going to be in a hole at the close of the 1st year and those type of holes are very hard to dig out of (see PS3).
No, it's none of those. Respawn approached Sony about developing on the PS4. Sony wasn't willing to work with them on it, and instead offered to help develop a Vita version. Respawn didn't want that, so they went to Microsoft. Microsoft actually agree to help fund the game for timed exclusivity. It wasn't until later that EA shopped around full exclusivity for the title. If Microsoft doesn't help fund the game, it never gets made. It was NOT a moneyhat exclusive as everyone makes it out to be.
This all came out in "The Final Hours of Titanfall," which released yesterday. Great read whether you're interested in the game or not, by the way.
It's hardly their ace in the hole, either. Come on. I don't know if it even sold a million copies in the US yet. Halo is Microsoft's ace in the hole, as is Gears of War. The fact the Xbox One is selling as well as it is without any mention of a iteration of those games is shocking.
$199? :D They sell it at $399 and it probably starts winning North America. When you're talking JUST America, the PS4 really isn't outselling the Xbox One by all that much. It's the rest of the world where Sony is gaining the massive discrepancy.
Why are you giving an example of the PS3 when you say it's hard to be behind after the first year when Sony ended up outselling Microsoft last generation world wide?
Interesting point. MS press release using sold to retailers #s for their 5M and if I'm not mistaken Sony used sold to consumers for their 7M #. Could the lead really be that big already world wide?
Well the last time Microsoft updated numbers, they mentioned 4 million shipped to retailers and it was discovered about 3.2 million of those were actually sold to customers. So if they've shipped 5 million worldwide, I think it's reasonable to believe that they've sold somewhere around 4.2 million consoles, making the lead for Sony around 7 million to 4.2 million, which is a pretty significant gap for 6 months into a console generation.
Microsoft is holding their ground in America, but getting destroyed everywhere else. Price cut of $100 or worldwide equivalent and compelling exclusive titles is the only thing that's going to save them, IMO. You can't keep selling a weaker console at a $100 premium, especially when your competitor has been selling like crazy. Price needs to come down ASAP.
EDIT: Absolutely should NOT be taken as evidence, but VG Chartz has the Xbox One listed at 4.2 million and the PS4 at 6.9 million as of April 5th.

All the trouble they seem to be having recently and you might be waiting a good while for that to come out. Something definitely happened at Naughty Dog. I hope the quality doesn't drop - one of my favorite developers.Quote:

It depends. The PS4 version is almost guaranteed to look and run better. The only thing that could get me to go Xbox One is if that version had dedicated servers because of Microsoft and the PS4 version didn't. I highly doubt that's the case, so right now, PS4 for sure.Quote:

A. That's not what they meant. Her original statement was misinterpreted.
B. Why are you posting Xbox One related news in the PS4 thread? :D
Really? Are you really asking why the biggest troll on TGT is now posting this stuff in the PS4 thread, after being told not to do so in the Xbox One thread?Quote:

There is funny and there is this. This is not funny, CLW is not the Colbert Report and all he is doing is thumbing his nose at those of us tired of his schtick.
(1) The news is PS4 related as it relates to their #1 competitor and one of the articles directly mentions how far behind the XB1 is to the PS4.Quote:

I should note that it was specifically mentioned in the PM to me that I am allowed to post headlines/links (which is exactly what those are). However, knowing that even articles/links makes many of you cry and curl up into the fetal position, I posted the news/articles in the PS4 thread thinking that maybe the babies wouldn't read it (since at least some of them claimed to not read the thread and requested that I stay in the PS4 only thread). Clearly even that isn't the case.
I have seen that kind of logic before.Quote:

1. It's really not. The only potential way they could be is if this was some sales analyst site that compared the two. I can assure you that you're literally the only person here who cares about that stuff, so it's not related in any way.Quote:

It simply belongs in the Xbox thread. People go to the Xbox thread for Xbox news, and the PS threads for PS news. Post the Xbox news in the Xbox thread, keep your fan boy comments to yourself, and I don't see what problem would arise. I really don't understand why that is so hard for you. I guess you can't help but try to stir up people. :dunno:
Doesn't matter. I was just curious why you were posting Xbox stuff in the PS thread. CLW gonna CLW, so have at it.
I saw someone tweet that the PS4 controllers wear out fast. Is this true? They are pricey. My PS3 controllers last forever.
The PlayStation 4 Could Be Sony’s Last Video Game Console

In a nut shell... yes. The controller that came with the system has already had the left joy stick cover rip off. The 2nd one is getting close. Thee is nothing I hear shaking around inside so that's good but it is pretty annoying to see a ripped off joystick cover 5 months after purchasing (it ripped at the 3 month mark).Quote:

I was just about to say the same thing. I still have my launch controller in perfect condition and I play the system daily.Quote:

There was something wrong with some of the launch controllers. I have 2 and one of them has the issue where the rubber is wearing off the analog sticks. Combined, I've maybe put 20 hours on them. I contacted Sony about it and they try to pull their usual BS of having you ship it in, waiting a few weeks, and then they ship you another one. If you bitch and complain enough they'll just ship out new controllers and you can ship the problem ones back in the same box.
Don't let it go, though. The rubber eventually breaks away completely.
Anyone ever try anything like this?

Not ideal, but maybe a solution after warranty (or instead of the hassle of warranty).

I've seen a few people mention they bought covers and seemed to like them.Quote:
