@odd69 You have to look closely. Instead of it saying "Playstation Network" on the XMB it now says "PSN". They added privacy settings to the trophies. You have to specifically go to the trophy section to see the change. Maybe it's just me but I don't see the need to hide trophies.

@Gamer83 I never said you didn't like indie titles and if you look at PS4's indie titles they do compliment the system. The issue that I have with a lot of Xbox fans is that they only look at it form their perspective like I will only play this or I only do this, or this console has the games that I want to play so it is the better console. Yeah, one might be better for you but that doesn't mean it's the better console to someone else. From doing a little bit of research as of right now there are 32 PS4 titles compared to 17 for the Xbox One annouced for 2013-2014. This does not include multi-platform titles or titles with TBD release dates. So, from a numbers perspective I don't see how MS has an advantage. Now as far as AAA titles or indie titles the mass market is not going to know the difference and the people that really care are the hardcore gamers. Which games are better? Well, as I said before this is all about preference. So, the only way you can calculate this is after launch to see which games sell and which games rate better among the masses.The games that I look forward to are KZ, Infamous, Driveclub, Daylight, The Order, Deep Down, Warframe, Blacklight, and Planetside 2. As far as the consoles are concerned, you bring up one of the bigger advantages of the PS4 which is the $100 price difference and the $10 difference for the annual subscription (for those that choose to subscribe). A lot of people are going to get the cheaper console. Not to mention in just about every poll online list the PS4 as the preferred console as well as it being the better looking console (not that looks are everything). On the marketing side of things I have been seeing Playstation commercials all over TV as well as advertisements for the PS4 Taco Bell promotion. Also, the PS4 was a sponsor for one of the UFC fights. As far as the Xbox One, I have only seen a commercial for it the last few times I went to the movie theater and they did run a few commercials during the first week of football season. I don't know if they have been running them constantly because I don't follow football but people I do know that follow football hasn't seen any Xbox One commercials at least for the last few weeks.

@Gamer83 You do have a point that people don't buy consoles for the indie games but they do add to the overall experience of the console. Like it or not indies games are becoming more popular but that doesn't mean that AAA gaming is dying. My point wasn't who has the most AAA titles. I am just saying that the debate who has the games advantage is subjective. Yeah you can say one console has more AAA games but how many of those games do you really want to play. That's part of the reason why I pre-ordered a PS4 is because of the games. Xbox One only had a few that I would want to play but not enough for me to buy their console. Myself and many others feel this way just like there are people who don't care for PS4 games. So, it is all a matter of preference. Real gamers don't care if games are AAA titles or indie titles as long as they are good games. Also, you could argue that the PS4 has the game advantage because they have the most games announced. As of right now across the board the PS4 has the overall advantage but we will have to see how it all plays out. Not to mention the PS4 is already implementing a smarter marketing strategy.

@rjejr Apparently I can get if fixed for like $60-$80 but I will let you know how well that goes.

If you like platform games I think you will like Puppeteer. It's definitely a unique game and It does have a hint of Little Big Planet it to it. I am only a few Acts into the game and I plan on buying it when I get extra cash, maybe on a Gamefly sale.
