    The Atlantic Wire and Rebecca Greenfield. That pretty much discredits any claim they might make.

    Yeah, I didn't even notice it during the conference, but having read the dialogue, I really don't see the big deal. Of course that douche bag Jonathan Blow would say something. He's the biggest joke in the entire industry as far as I'm concerned. Sends me into a fit of rage every time I read something he said.

    But isn't that what a company is worried about? It's all about the bottom line.

    Yes and no. When you just for inflation/the time value of money only 1 movie in the last 13 years is even in the Top 20. A $1 in 1930 was worth A WHOLE LOT MORE than $1 in 2013.

    I'll be buying a battery pack for my One controller, but that's about as far as I go when it comes to accessories. I'm sure that phone clip will just be busting with quality.

    Yeah I presume Dual Shock 4 has the same plug into the front/back of the system to charge which is fine with me.

    I also don't anticipate using much smart glass but if I did it would be on a tablet and not a 3 inch screen.

    BOTH PS4 and XB1 are going to have apps that allow you to use any smart phone/tablet with games (or at least its possible if the developer develops for that feature).

    I understand what you are saying and yes Gone with the Wind has made more "money" than any movie ever. But I don't really see movies today complaining that they only made $400 million

    Sure they make money but the money making power of movies has been in decline for some time (See the link).

    JB's point was that decline is due (at least in part) to higher ticket prices so consumers stay home. I agree it definitely has had an affect on both the # of people going to the movies and the amount of profit they make off of them.

    Some have argued that video games need to go up in price to make up for the increased costs. Its really a supply demand thing. If you raise the price you by default will lower demand. The key is to find the "perfect" price where demand stays high maximizing profit. It's ok to lose "some" people for a price being too high IF the price to get those consumers to come would be so low that there wouldn't be any additional profit made.

    Exactly. I'm pretty sure XB1 and PS4 on the same of this. You download the app (either PS4 or XB1) for Android or IOS. You fire that up and register your account and then I guess it knows the games in your library or when your playing a game and so it would potentially give you the ability to play on the tablet instead of the console or view a map for instance instead of it being on the screen etc....

    Yeah, I haven't heard any production companies complaining about "only" $400 million. I've heard plenty of game companies crying about sellling "only" a couple million units. Of course for me, it's not just the prices of tickets and concessions (which are just fucking ridiculous these days), but also that most movies look like shit and I personally find stupid as fuck. There have only been a handful of movies in recent years that tempted me with willingly getting bent over by the local movie theater to see them. The rest, hell, I probably still wouldn't even watch them after they come out on Netflix or Redbox.
