Every company releases their new systems at a loss. My point is that Sony is taking a BIGGER loss now so as to dominate the market in hopes of bigger future profit.

Been watching this twice a day. God damn, what an amazing show. Srsly, edge of my seat and hands on my head, too much for me to handle lol.


Anyways, I knew Sony had to make some sort of move when MS announced their price and Sony had like 7ish hrs to figure out their move. I figured it was going to be like $450, but wow, $399! Sony is doing everything right! No stopping it now!

Omg, when they announced FFXV (formally FF VS XIII) I freaked! Been waiting since day one for that game.

Though, Titanfall on the Xbox looks so cool, too bad it's an exclusive.

I think you meant to link this one instead:

Yeah, too bad about Titanfall being an exclusive. Between it and that Xenoblade game, it looks like mechs are making a comeback. I hope someone makes a new Metal Warriors game. Man, I loved that game back in the day! It was way ahead of it's time. It had a wide variety of different mechs, each with unique weapons. You could get weapon upgrades, hop out of your mech and steal enemy mechs, and it even had destructible environments and stuff. When I was watching the preview of Titanfall, I thought this HAS to be a remake of Metal Warriors. But no, it's an "original" title.

I think I did lol. Damn son, sold me on a Wii U.

Right, forgot about that Xenoblade game. Looks cool. I probably will have to get a Wii U eventually becuz I'm a huge Bayonetta fan. The gameplay is so much fun, being Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox "original" is my favorite game.

I'm hearing it's also on the PC, actually.

Although I won't be getting either console at launch, when I do get one it'll be the PS4.

At least DRM isn't mandatory across the board. That's the important thing I think.

I don't really have a problem with this. At least it gives game publishers the choice of whether to implement DRM or not. And thus gives me the choice to not buy those games.

Yep, vote with your dollars. Every publisher heard the roaring reaction when Sony announced they aren't doing it to their first party games. Pubs know what is going to happen if they decide to do it. Question is how they are going to sneak it in without anyone noticing till it's too late. Like in the Sony press when they snuck in that you have to pay to go online like on the Xbox. No one noticed till afterwards.
