Everyones smarta$$ comments aside, I agree with him...to a degree. The Xbox 360 was amazing from the start and is still an amazing system, its downfalls are the dvd player. Now with PS3, its downfall was the first couple years of its life (controller with no rumble, stupid six axis, no trophy support) honestly, the ps3 didnt feel really next gen, aside from the games and the blu-ray player. I think people are upgrading from PS3 to PS4 because they love the new changes that Sony has made, while with Xbox 360 and One, they seem very similar other then the multimedia functions and the graphics.
Honestly, its hard to say why for sure....maybe Sony just did everything right at the beginning, and Xbox fans knew Microsoft screwed up so much there waiting for them to fix their mistakes (making a Kinect-less bundle at $399 is a big help).
People who want a Xbox One will just be more interested in buying one now more then ever, because now it doesnt come with the stupid camera and $100 more price tag, but if all you care about is which console is slightly more powerful, that pretty sad. You know Xbox fans are gonna get Xbox for when Halo and that come out, plus they probably have a loyalty to Xbox and want to keep up their achievements lol
Me personally, Im undecided as of yet, Im just leaning towards PS4 more cause I know it will get more Japanese RPGs, but I cant lie and say Xbox One hasnt interested me too, considering it gets exclusives like Titanfall, amongst other PC games that usually come to Xbox consoles (Left 4 Dead 1 and 2).
I bought the Borderlands 2 Vita Slim Bundle and have been playing it ALOT! Its an absolutely amazing port of the game, Im actually really shocked how well it is on the vita, because it looks so close to the ps3 version.
Yay, Im actually surprised this version has multiplayer at all lol And no my opinion hasnt changed, I pre-ordered the Borderlands 2 Vita Slim bundle and Im still picking it up on May 6th (yay, we get it way earlier). I didnt expect the exact PS3 game, but from what Ive seen of videos of it, Im amazed at how well it looks on a portable!
Huge fan of Tales of series, and it will be the first Vita release, so I went with Tales of Heart R, but to be honest, that was a tough list and it was hard to choose only one, cause most of those games look awesome!
Pretty good sale, especially when Ill be picking up a vita slim soon Picking up Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Metal Gear Solid for Vita, Muramasa, and Persona 4 Golden.
If I had a ps4 (which I wish I did...), this wouldnt be a problem for me, cause my tv is on the wall Good that their listening to everyone else, though.
I think they shouldnt bother with this unless they are willing to put it on PS4, and X1, putting it on last gen consoles seems very stupid, especially since people are going to the next gen consoles awefully fast. Personally, Im pretty sick of Borderlands now, but if I did see a great next gen game, I would consider buying it, as for this though, no thanks.
I'ld skip the first generation of virtual reality and wait till it got cheaper I expect it will cost probably $200 or even more for something like that, why I'm saying that. Don't get me wrong, I love innovation in video gaming, but I've spent lots of money on "gimmicks" that have let me down.
at this point it's hard to say which console is winning considering they just launched, but both consoles are really great, and I kinda can't wait to own both of them. Can't we Xbox and PlayStation people get along? We're so similar... lol
i'm forever playing diablo 3 on my ps3, so when I get a PS4, I'll get this! Can't wait to play Reaper of Souls expansion, I want to play as the crusader ^-^
Why would you want a Xbox One?The system is $100 more and the PS4 versions of games are better. On PS4, all their games run on 1080p, on Xbox One some of the games (that are 1080p on PS4) are only in 720p on Xbox One...why??!!??
Sorry M$, but Sony is where I'm staying...
EDIT I love how no one expects anything back from their Wii's or even the Wii U lol
@Shellybird27 completely agree, can't we all just enjoy the games and stop predicting doom on everything now-a-days. "OMG, the system wasn't a run away success, it's soooo doomed!" crap has got to stop, for both Vita and Wii U
No offence, but I don't listen to a guy who obviously knows nothing about gaming and gamers in general I feel the PS Vita had a slow start, yes, but it's starting to get the games and a lot of people are starting to buy the system.
Honestly, we can't compare Vita to 3DS, Nintendo has been doing portable way longer and that's basicly their main market, but it would be smart to compare Sony's secondary system (Vita) to Nintendo's secondary console (Wii U) and then I would say, Vita is doing pretty d@mn good! ^-^
Stop listening to Pachter. Games and gamers make a system a success, not some moron who gets paid alot to make predictions on gaming, that isn't even a gamer himself
No big lose, I played the first and 2nd one and though some of gameplay was fun, the experience was short and the games seemed almost pointless Microsoft can have the series, they need something other than just Halo.
There where two PS4's in stock at my local Ebgames, which is a shock considering the store was slightly behind on giving the people who pre-ordered the system theirs It was even listed on the ebgames.ca website, then the playstation 4 listing as been removed, maybe because the store where getting bugged by people too much lol
oohhh please actually be the the vita tv!! I want one of them, it's a especially good micro system to have if you have a vita, probably just throw the save on the vita and could be on the go too
ohh please god don't have another buzz or singstar game lol
Btw, I'm not an english major, but shouldn't it be DOES Sony's Family Franchises Have a Future on PS4, instead of DO Sony's Family Franchises Have a Future on PS4? Just nit-picking a little
my tv is mounted on the wall, so when I get my PS4 (whenever that is) I won't be having that issue at all Would probably be smart to make an option later though to turn it off if it bugs people that much though.
@LDXD should wait and play Tales of Symphonia when it comes out in a bit then, it's probably my favourite and a great introduction to the Tales of series Or if you still have a PS2, you should try Tales of the Abyss, which was re-released on the 3DS, or Tales of Legendia. Whatever one you end up playing, doesn't matter, I think there all great lol
I'm looking forward to all of those games, but none more so than South Park, but that could be because i don't believe it's coming in March, and I'm waiting for another delay/ it to be cancelled
@get2sammyb I think they only announced Xillia 2 to the west, pretty sure it doesn't have a release date yet.
@WickedKnightAl I know how sad!!! I tried to sign up but once it asked for zip code and couldn't put in a letter, I kinda got the hint it was only for US citizens.
PushSquare can change it to USA in the title instead of North America this time, thank for thinking of us Canadians, though
my local Gamestop and Ebgames (yes, for some reason my city has both oO) they're still trying to get PS4's in for people who pre-ordered them! I want a PS4 and can wait, but this seems to always be an issue with Sony when releasing a new system, they never have enough stock for the demand
The modern day thing is very much holding back the Assassin's Creed series. When I played Assassin's Creed 3,I enjoyed everything about it, then the modern day scene would pop-up and suck me out of the fun of the game
PS4 is doing impressively well, but it doesn't shock me that it will surpass Wii U that fast What will shock me is if Nintendo bothers to make another home console after the Wii U,and if they do, make a system worth competing against Sony and Microsoft.
Sony's doing fine, but we need to see more support on Vita. Other than that, just make PS4 widely available,and before Xbox One is,and I think they'll do fine
