No one outside of video game forums cares whether a game is exclusive or not. Hope this clears up your confusion around why the Wii U sells like poo poo while the PS4 is very popular.

I'm amazed people still regurgitate that XBL is/was a better service than PSN as if it's an objective fact despite that literally the only difference under the hood was that you paid $50 a year for XBL. It was always just a P2P setup that Microsoft arbitrarily put behind a paywall. Now Sony has theirs behind the same paywall and decided it should have actual value by giving subscribers a fuckton of free poo poo and people still say XBL is a better service despite nothing else changing. People that buy new bleeding age cellphones every year don't even go through those kind of veblen good mental gymnastics. Zoph fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Oct 20, 2014 |

Focusing on games is redundant, what about been able to watch TV while Microsoft tracks your viewing to sell to advertisers?

Once you look at the more details it's a lot less impressive, they're all games you could have played on ps3, plus Akibas trip:undead and undressed. Here's some more numbers for you. Giant bomb review - 4 out of 10. 1 in, 1 out. Promised PS plus versions released : zero

Stux posted:meanwhile, in relevant numbers land That's a shame if accurate. Forza Horizon 2 is a fun game. Meanwhile Driveclub is a marquee title that was delayed for a year and still does not function properly and is not available in its promised free form 13 days after launch. That should be a literal million of disappointed, pissed off customers who would probably do better to not throw away $60 on any future Evolution Studios game should Sony not dissolve it themselves. Like, I was excited to play Driveclub a year ago. That game's release is ridiculous.

hanyolo posted:How has Microsoft shat into our mouth since release? We've had a constant flow of excellent games and OS improvements. The OS improvements are mostly just adding back stuff that the 360 had since launch in 2005, yet were absent from The One despite 8 friggin' years of dev time. I mean god drat some of the "new" party chat stuff was on the Xbox One in 2004 wasn't it?  . I keep seeing people list Microsoft's continued updates as a strike against the PS4 and it's just baffling.It's especially  when news article comment sections have the Ned Flanders-types saying "Great job Microsoft, keep up the updates and good work!". Ah yes, the good work of adding back some of the functions from a 10 year old console, to a new console which cannot even do incremental game patches in tyool 2014.Does anyone who owns a The One even own a 360, let alone an Xbox One?

gently caress me, I just realized Sunset Overdrive is out next week, Call of Spacey is out in 2, and Halo Collection: 65% of data crammed onto one disc is out in 3. This is the time for Xbox, and its success or failure pretty much entirely hinges on how it does between now and I guess Black Friday.

Did the xbox 360s success depend entirely on its first year, or are you exaggerating for dramatic effect?

It sucks that MS has had to add so much stuff in; it's obvious they had to rush release to meet the PS4, but the PS4 isn't some great illustration of a complete console at launch either. 2.0 is apparently coming out soon at which point the PS4 will finally get advanced features such as a YouTube app, customizable theme colors and MP3 playback. How long did the PS3 have those? I'm no console warrior, I have and play both, but boy howdy is it lovely on both sides for lots of stuff. Still fun games on each at least

It was always just a P2P setup that Microsoft arbitrarily put behind a paywall. Now that's not true, the only difference was not literally just a sub fee. XBL was way superior to PSN back in the early days, especially when the 360 launched with the overlay Guide menu. The invite to game, matchmaking, party system, universal chat and friends list was all very robust and intuitive. Even the "recent players" list made it so easy to rejoin a match if you dropped out by finding the last random person you were playing with then just clicking on them to join back in. AFAIK PSN hardly had any of that until recently. Isn't it still lagging behind?

A strong first year of success in the wake of "599.99 US DOLLARS, GET A SECOND JOB IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT" did allow the 360 to coast for the rest of the last generation. If the bone can't start showing some strength with one of these games taking off like when Bungie worked on Halo, when will it?

Was the '4 Halo games on just one disc' even a major selling point for them? Surely with how it installs all games to the hard drive anyway you'd never even need the 2nd disc past installation, and could just use either one of them to verify ownership. Is the only reason they did this cheaping out on a 2nd disc? Serving a massive patch to every surely has to cost them something, surely it can't save them that much money at the cost of annoying a lot of people. This whole thing is just odd. E: unless they don't have any way to stop both discs 'counting' as the owned product making it effectively 2 copies of the game in 1 after you install?

Whether or not they spent a lot of time bragging about it (I don't remember exactly if it was a huge selling point from them), it was very impressive to me that they were fitting four uprezzed games and every multiplayer portion with all ~100 maps on a single disc. I remember them making that point, but I don't remember how hard they crowed about it. Yeah, it's real dumb.

Holding off on a console was the best move as clearly both Sony and Microsoft thought they'd just push them out the door to get the money rolling in whilst spending the next couple of years patching in all the stuff that was present last gen.

gschmidl posted:Suspicions confirmed. Halo 4 used two discs as a solution for the exact same reason. When you booted disc 2 it ran an installer which installed the multiplayer content pack and was something like 2 gigs, and the disc was useless beyond that (and I think you could even choose to download the data instead but I'm not 100% on that). Playing the game itself could only be done from Disc 1, including the multiplayer, it's just the multiplayer needed to have access to that data installed from disc 2 (or downloaded) to function. But this is OK and all will be forgiven since the game is
