Through all the residual animosity towards Microsoft, I think a lot of this is being missed. After all the talk of being for the gamers, it's Sony that has taken the more closed "anti-consumer" stance.

They got that price down to only $400 but its obvious they plan to make that money back through forcing people to spend money on their other media services. It's also obvious that from a functionality standpoint the PS4 in some ways is lagging behind the PS3 let alone the X1

It's funny to watch Sony stans defend this shyt(which I'm sure y'all will do in this thread) after months of standing on principled arguments about big bad Microsoft trying to take advantage of the industry.

Now the stans are attacking anyone that calls Sony out for their bullshyt(which I'm sure y'all will do in this thread)

:heh: Sony stans

and the bolded is an underrated feature. It means i can buy physical games install them and then not need the disc anymore. So I won't have to download a bunch of 50GB files after all :blessed:

people worried about mp3 support...we have the cloud.....no joke if you have windows 8 your music syncs to the cloud and you can download them to your Xbox when you see fit

I think that's underrated

This is a good insightful post but I disagree with Sony being anti-consumer. This stuff is [rightfully] an issue only now that Sony has forced MS to back down from certain stances of their own. Sony has set the precedent and tone for this generation and I think it's a good one. MS has certainly made a comeback that is being neglected but that doesn't take away what Sony started. I'm still more excited for PS4 as these aren't issues for me personally but it's definitely a good discussion to have.

I personally don't think it's "anti-consumer" nor did I think Microsofts practices were. In reality they are all in it to make money and they will come up with creative ways to do so. As a consumer we have the choice on whether to support a product or not.

I'm just trying to bring that reality to light. People get so caught up in the "console wars" that they miss this point and start assuming these companies care about them. They don't. M$ and Sony are not at each others throats as much as gamers want them to be. In fact there's plenty of evidence that they are working together this time more than ever.

My problem with the situation is when people start attacking industry people cause they aren't repeating what you want them to. When toys r us can't even post a video without the comments section being overrun with fanboys, then we have a problem that needs to be addressed. And these aren't kids doing it, they are grown ass men who otherwise would seem like rational people.

In my opinion the fans are what's holding gaming back from getting the respect it deserves compared to other forms of entertainment. The accusations of devs/journalists being paid off or being lazy, or trying to hurt consumers just makes us all come off as immature a$$holes. People don't realize that they are hurting and disrespecting the people that make gaming a reality.

And I could be wrong but most of this seems to come from the Sony side of things. I don't know what it is that makes their fans so combative, but it seems its usually them doing all the mudslinging, while ignoring some of the same practices coming out of Sony. Shjts dispicable at this point, and hopefully it will die down once the consoles come out
