Out of the Blue

With the ball sitting there on a tee for them, Sony succeeded in pleasing most observers after announcing concrete details about the PS4, and how it will be more consumer-friendly in ways that the Xbox One will not be. So with the battle for the next generation officially a win for Sony, I think it's time to turn our attention to the next-next-generation. Will the PS5 continue it's lead over the next Xbox? Will the next Xbox actually be the Xbox Two? I'm already impatient for answers!

No, Sony is still being evasive

Nah as mentioned in the other thread they were very clear. It's basically the same as it is today and multiplayer is gated. I'm pretty ok with that considering the value proposition in PS+ and the fact that they didn't paywall the video features so if I stop gaming for a few months and just want to watch Netflix, I don't need to sub.

seriously, whoever MS's market strategist is needs to be fired. they may have had a slim lead in the current gen, but their market position was never strong enough to force anything down anyone's throats. if they were ever going to get away with idiotic DRM, it HAD to be a tradeoff for something else. cheaper price comes to mind. but nooooo, they also feel like they can shove the green eyed hal9000 and an extra $100 down our gullets as well. really, just no benefit whatsoever. the only way they come back from this is if they have some massively awesome exclusives, or (more likely) backpedal fast enough to win the tour de france in reverse.

Even I consider buying a PS 10!

Edit: And I'd even buy an XBox One or PS4 if keyboard/mouse controls were perfectly implemented.

I watched it live. It was pretty damn epic. But the xbox has kinect! lol...

Fuck consoles though. Play on PC. Most games will come out for it and there's even some that are exclusive to a console, but also come out for PC.

Microsoft will get spanked so hard, they'll quit consoles by the Xbox Two. Then they'll claim to care about PC gaming again, but they'll decide to put all their resources against their new gaming watch. And it will fail.
