I hope console FREAKING DIE. The news that the new generation is DOA makes me happy.
CONSOLE GAMING SUCKS - now die allready

I've yet to see a smart TV that can give Netflix data as smoothly as the 360 or the PS3. The picture has always been vastly better on the machines with more CPU power.

Too late Microsoft. I'm sticking with PS4 and PS3s for Netflix. Even DVD players have Netflix built in for free...

love the negative press MS is getting today, like for example this one:
Microsoft Just Won't Stop Making the Xbox One Worse
Anytime Microsoft's nose is bloodied, it's a beautiful day!

Can't imagine they are making a lot of profit with the PS4, material cost / retail price-ratio isn't that great either.Creston wrote on May 13, 2014, 15:53:Which is why this is a little surprising:

I don't understand this comment. If one is getting it's ass kicked, then it's by definition not healthy. So how can you have "1 console getting its ass kicked is fine when there are two healthy ones?"
He means Sony, MS, Nintendo. MS getting its ass kicked is fine, if Sony and Nintendo are doing well. But since the Wii-U is completely dead, MS struggling to sell units means Sony is the only one doing well, which is not great for the consumer.
Personally I don't think it's that immediate, though. It's good if they all switch places from time to time between generations. The PS3 was the redheaded stepchild last gen, and now they're on top of the pile, while both MS and Nintendo are tumbling. I think the market can bear that.

MS just announced a Kinect-free Xbox One...available June 9.
Too funny.

Here's the original Steel Battalion controller. They should have stuck with it instead of trying to make it work with Kinect. I was a huge MechWarrior player back in the day and would have died for a controller like this.

I'm much less happy than you are. 1 console getting its ass kicked is fine when there are two healthy ones. We don't have two healthy ones. We have one DOA, one floundering, and one thriving.
Last generation was pretty ideal, to me. One kind of wasn't playing the same game, and the other two were essentially neck-and-neck worldwide.
