Re: Analyst: PS4 Has Slight Sales Advantage Over Xbox One in North America

@RyoHazuki After all the people I saw trying to defend Microsoft's DRM policies, I'd say pigheadedness and blind loyalty is in full swing.

That said, after everything the PS3 offered, people know what to expect from Sony's first party studios. I'm thinking that's why the PS4 is doing so phenomenally despite it having less launch exclusives than the 'bone.

Quite frankly, the only complaint I have is about the Vita. We know Sony is good when it comes to exclusives, their marketing his been fairly exceptional and 3rd parties are back in their corner.

That brings me to the Vita. While Sony is good for exclusives, they don't seem to be putting their weight behind the Vita. Instead, they seem content with letting Japan Studio do all the heavy lifting.

Re: Pachter: PS4 Will Surpass Wii U Sales Globally by Spring

It doesn't take a genius to predict that the PS4 will surpass the Wii U soon. Man, even when he's not talking out of his a** he's annoying.

The Wii U doesn't really have much in the pipeline that can move units other than Smash Bros and possibly Bayonetta 2 & Mario Kart, though I've never seen Mario Kart as a system seller (but that's just me).

Re: Promised PS4 Stock Availability Pushes System into Amazon UK's Top Ten

@Itachi I used to like the Xbox once, but then the 360 changed all that. All these years and Microsoft still hasn't released an exclusive that even partially interests me, yet I still managed to obtain a 360 - I didn't pay for it, of course.

I'm with you on their policies, I wasn't interested in the Xbox brand after the 360, but all that DRM nonsense pissed me off. Especially when people actually defended Microsoft for it. This is supposed to be the land of the free, yet so many people were ready and willing to throw their consumer rights away.

While I don't mind cameras, what I do mind is products being forced on people like Microsoft is doing with the Kinect. They keep going on about how "it's an integral part of the console" or what, yet they haven't shown anything that makes its inclusion seem worth it.

@Itachi They decided to remove the camera from the sku and drop the price prior to E3, which is what I'm constantly trying to hammer into the heads of Xbots whenever they say Sony made the decision after Microsoft revealed the 'bones price.

And I agree, I have no doubt that the PS4 would still be doing well even if Sony hadn't removed the camera. If they kept the camera in, they'd be seeing a $40 profit for each system, plus another $60-$120 for PlayStation Camera and/or DualShock 4 sales - which would put them in a very good position.

@HandandInternet I agree, Microsoft seems to have prioritized multimedia and put gaming second, while it looks like Sony thought about both equally.

Everytime I go to Walmart, I always head over to the electronics section (to drool over the Vitas and reassure one of them that they will be mine) I always see a ton of Xbones, but never any PS4's. Of course, if you ask a certain fanboy, it's because "Microsoft cares enough to keep them in stock".
