I know Sony has to be glad the PS3 era is finally coming to a close. Even though it's thriving now, they caught hell with the PS3 and in the early days ended up losing more money just to keep it afloat than they gained. I know that's one road they have no intention on traveling down again.

@get2sammyb That's the biggest thing that gets to me, is that they never even explained why they had those policies to begin with. All that does is build suspicion which leads to even more negative rumors and bad Press. Even if there sole intentions was greed, the fact they never addressed the issue and instead just reversed everything even though they told their fans the policies couldn't be reversed because it was embedded in the system, was basically telling a lie. I refuse to support a company that lies to their customers and the same goes for Sony if they were to pull a Microsoft.

It just seems to me that Microsoft has no direction in where they want to go with Xbox One. How can I as a consumer have any faith in their console when Microsoft themselves don't? At this point there console should be a finished product but now they're changing policies, doing 180's, and even rumored to be trying to boost specs all just to match up with PS4. That doesn't sound like a company that has confidence in there console. Even from a design standpoint the Xbox One looks unattractive and uninspired. It honestly could pass as a VCR or a projector if you didn't see a game controller next to it. Then they stick the Kinect to it which most gamers have no interest in using. I don't really think bundling the Kinect with it is such a bad thing, but to make it mandatory at the expense of raising your console price tag just doesn't make sense. Especially when your closest competitor has a more powerful console, favored by developers, and cost $100 less. It actually made some sense before they reversed their policies, but since the 180 it kind of defeats the purpose.

Tomb Raider and Dead Space 3

@Paranoimia Same here, but I actually think Dynamic menu sounds a lot more catchy than XMB.

I think Parappa the Rapper would make a great game for PS Eye and could easily move some units.

Good information I never knew that. It always felt like something about Playstation reminded me of Sega and now I know why.

Looks like Sony's almost ready to start unleashing them exclusives. Sorry Microsoft it was nice knowing you. I'll be sure to bring flowers.

It is time for something new. I really didn't like the new direction they went with DMC. But DMC1 and 3 are classics.

If i were Sony, after those comments I wouldn't even let Razor develop for PS4 even if they wanted too. That's some BS.

I'm just waiting for the smoke to clear a bit and the PS4 to be on shelves. I've learned that it's best to wait sometimes because the 1st iterations of almost any new product have bugs that needs to be worked out. I'm definitely getting one, but I'm gonna wait it out.

@charlesnarles Well obviously the games will always be the most important, but it's more about drawing people in and grabbing their attention.

If I were Sony I would use the retail presence to help market the Playstation Eye. What better way to show people how cool it is than to let them experience it for themselves? By it costing only $60 bucks, that makes it easy to pick one up.

Yeah I'm glad Sony's switching to the Blue. That old Spiderman 3 theme the PS3 launched under got old fast. It would also be cool if they made a Blue version of PS4 like the one they have for the PS3 super slim. It adds a really nice touch.

Meh, it's hard to get excited about Drive Club. I feel it should have been a PS3 game and in it's place should have been GT6 on PS4.

I'm hoping Sony eventually has a bundle that includes the PS Eye and a PlayStation Plus membership for about $500. That's the thing I love about Sony's bundles, they always hook you up with a good deal.

It's starting to feel like this generation is going to be a bit like the PS2 generation. It's a little ironic that Microsoft named their next gen console Xbox One and so far the way things are shaping out it may very well sell on par with the original Xbox 1. While the original Xbox did have it's share of success the PS2 outsold it by almost 10 times. I don't think the gap is going to be that wide this time and it's still too early for an assesment like that but that's the way things are starting to look. Sony is just one God of War or Uncharted away from completely dominating the market.

@Sanquine That's the beauty of when a developer has a good track record. You can always count on them to make great game experiences even if it's something new. As much as everyone would love another Uncharted, given their track record i don't think anyone would complain if they made something completely new.

I just noticed drive Club didn't even make the list of best racer.

I don't know, Naughty Dog has always been a company that releases a new franchise on every Gen. For PS1 it was crash, for PS2 it was Jak and Daxter, for PS3 it was Uncharted and finally The Last Of Us. Now with PS4 your saying they go back to Uncharted? I'm not saying it's not possible because it is, but it just goes against the formula they've been using.

That's what i'm afraid of. I feel like Sony would have a lot more success with their consoles if they weren't using up resources to make their handhelds successful. Not saying the Vita is bad or doesn't have potential, it's just not as important. Handheld gaming is a dying market. Sony themselves said the Vita has a great fan base but it's just not big enough and it's hard to see it growing much even with the announcement of some killer games and even a price drop. All I'm saying is if they hadn't wasted resources on the PSP and now the Vita, the PS3 would have had more attention and been even better overall. I hate to say this but the Vita is Sony's biggest weakness in the next gen.

@Snorky Sony gone announce some killer games to widen the gap.

"They CAN NOT say what they have on the cover." Well obviously they just did.

"Also, how do you know Xbox One doesn't stand a chance? Are you psychic? " Yes I am actually, what tipped you off?

Also the FiFa deal holds no weight because Europe is not too hot on the Kinect and sees it as more of a monitoring device.

@rastamadeus There's nothing to be impartial about. if anything they would be being impartial saying xbox one actually stood a chance. But I agree there are those who will still buy an Xbox even though Microsoft tried to pull a fast one on you.

If you think Sony's beating Microsoft now wait until Gamescom.

I don't know why people are mad at Edge, Sony is kicking Microsofts butt. Xbox One has received nothing but bad press even before it was announced. The only reason they changed their policies was because Sony had their foot up their @$$, so who do you think is winning? the only reason Microsoft stopped charging devs for patches is because of Sony also. I think Sony should take this generation hands down and i just don't see why anyone would want a xbox one, but it's your money, waste it as you please.

At this point i don't even think that question matters anymore. One thing we know for a fact is the PS4 retails at $399. Whatever decisions had to be made in that process is between Sony. They are a business and have to exercise every option. Perhaps at one point they did think about bundling the PS Eye with the console and maybe they still will have a bundle like that for those that are interested. But to see that as a negative now is meaningless.

I still don't know what to think about knack. It just looks like a weird game, and the character himself is very hard to connect with unlike Crash, Spyro, etc.

Wow just about all the games mentioned are classic and those are some great deals.

Jak 3 was the best!

Like others have mentioned I just like going down to gamestop, checking out all the new games, and buying it. There's something really special about the whole process almost like shopping for a new car. That's my biggest problem with digital games, they just don't feel the same. That may sound minor to some people but it is a very big deal.

@Madd_Hatter401 What I meant by underrated is that I feel this game doesn't get the respect it deserves in the media. Whenever they have a debate about the best games they always put BioShock somewhere on the top and FarCry 3 is never added to any list but in my opinion it's one of the best games out there and certainly better than Bioshock.

FarCry 3. Seriously this game is too underrated.

I think it would be cool if Sony had a $499 bundle with PS+ and PS Eye and maybe possibly through in Knack as a mascot role. A PS4 and Vita bundle would be cool also but because of the high price it would take I don't think it would sell too good.

@HeatBombastic It's not the hands free aspect of Kinect that bothers people. It's the always on nature of the device. Just so you know, it will still be collecting your data and studying your soul.

I don't think Microsoft can come on top anymore. The price is still the biggest factor and Microsoft already lost a good portion of their fanbase to Sony already. Playstation fans are a loyal bunch and for good reason as demonstrated at E3 so don't expect Sony's fanbase to change. When you factor in the large fanbase Sony has already, plus the fans Microsoft has lost, with the $100 price differential, on top of dominating pre orders with nothing but good press, Sony is still in a very comfortable and demanding position. Besides the price I think what will ultimately defeat Microsoft is Sony's games. Everyone knows by now that Sony is a beast on the game scene and you have to suspect they are holding some secret weapons. How big would it be were they to reveal a God of War, Uncharted, Last of Us level title that clearly shows the graphical power over Xbox One at possibly the Tokyo game Show? Every move Sony has made leading up to now has been all strategy and I'm almost positive they saw this coming. After all it was Sony who put Microsoft in this position to begin with.

@ShogunRok I feel like a lot of the time these companies try to force a lot of crap down our throats that we don't really want for their own gain. The cloud is a prime example of that because everything is digital it cost them less but as Microsoft is showing they will still charge the same as a hard copy. They try to sell water to a whale by making you believe the cloud is something you need and is more convenient and I'll admit in a lot of cases it is, but when it comes to games I feel like there's nothing better than having your own games to do as you see fit. But again they try to persuade us into thinking otherwise for their own benefit.

I've yet to hear a single developer praise Xbox one since it was announced. Is that a coincidence?

This guy is an idiot. I wouldn't even bother listening to him. He only added his 2 cents as a publicity stunt. The dude is a loser.

I think the remote play with the Vita is going to play a larger role than most people believe it will. PS4 actually gives you a reason to buy a Vita, and if you have a PS4, why not?

This game just keeps looking better each time I see it, and the Multiplayer looks insane. The level of detail is clearly a giant leap from the PS3, and one of the 1st games in my opinion to truly widen the gap between current gen and next gen.

What the vita needs is a price cut.

I think Microsoft nailed it with quantity but Sony and Nintendo had better overall quality. I almost fell asleep watching Xbox One games cause with the exception of Metal gear Solid 5 and Titan fall, none of their games looked all that interesting. Sony on the other hand showed Kill Zone, Infamous, Final Fantasy 15, Kingdom Hearts, Destiny, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed 4, Knack and a bunch of interesting looking titles. I agree they did talk a little too much but I thought Sony had the better showing overall. And at least the people they had on stage were likeable unlike microsoft's guys who looked like it was just another day in the office.

@get2sammyb That is crazy and maybe you'll think I'm crazy for saying this but I swear it seems like Microsoft really is trying to sabotage themselves on purpose because the decisions their making makes no sense at all. Based on that diagram they've basically cut off a full half of the world to their platform. Maybe I'm missing something but It just doesn't make sense.

@get2sammyb I think a lot of people that don't know any better are still gonna buy a Xbox One. The way I see it playing out is a lot of people will still buy an Xbox One thinking they are getting a true successor to the 360, Only to find out what they have is something totally different. On paper it looks good and sounds cool, but not everyone is into blogging so a lot of people still don't know all the changes that are taking place with the new Xbox. It's going to lead to another backlash because it's gonna piss a lot of people off when they find out that they need the internet in order to play even single player games, and the games that they paid for is not really theirs to own.

@get2sammyb, wouldn't be surprised if Sony did that. They appear to be taking the fight directly to Microsoft, and I honestly don't think MS was prepared for that. Microsoft has basically been on the defensive even months before the Xbox One was announced. Sony has been in attack mode since February and even the early reveal in Feb was a blow to Microsoft as they clearly wasn't prepared.

I really liked the demo. When i 1st saw it at E3 I thought it was going to be a game.

Honestly I don't really care if a game is exclusive or not as long as i get to play it. If Xbox fans or PC gamers get to enjoy it too oh well the more the merrier. As long as it's on PS4 that's all that should matter to a PS4 gamer. Some people may care about bird rights but ask yourself does it really even matter to you if you still get to play the game?

I think Sony still has alot of games left to show, but their probably holding out until Tokyo game show, the other big gaming conference. Overall i'm happy with what I saw from PS4 and even though I feel they could have done a little better it was still more than enough to crush Microsoft. While some people think they spent a little too juch time going over the other non gaming content, I'm actually glad they did. i was curious to know how they were going to respond to Microsoft and Nintendo's TV features and they did. The only problem I saw with that is the guy they had doing it tended to blabber on a bit too much.

I haven't thought about it that way. It would make a lot of sense to keep a few cards hidden until close to the holiday launch, then drop a Royal Flush killing all hope and any gained momentum of the competition. Now that you mention it, that's exactly what I'm expecting.
