1 v 100 can fix this problem. Do it Microsoft! Lol
Don't play like that I just about reached for my wallet to buy an XBO.

you can't be fucking serious
First of all, the PS4's model pretty much identical to current embedded linux/unix systems - which is state of the art ATM
There is no good reason to add CPU overhead on system calls and sacrifice cache/context predictability for a locked down system where all games are from verified parties. I mean sure it's handy to have them available for indies/apps but forcing it on all games is a completely bone headed decision.
Secondly DX12 will have minimal effect on XB1 if any.
The XBO doesn't even use regular DX11 right now - it uses DX11.X where X is for Xbox. DX12 promises better low level access/control but DX11.X is already incredibly low level and has all the hardware compatibility abstractions ripped out so in theory it should already much faster than DX12 can ever be on identical hardware.
Sure they can do some more assembly level optimization in the Xbox's version of DX12 (12.X?) but there's nothing stopping them from doing that right now.

You got trolled mate.

Cause I want to help him get through this. <3Why do you have to call out Y2Kev like this?
That one blog that thinks npds are WW and that are saying Sony payed the npd groups to change the numbers?
I don't understand why Microsoft ignores my cries for a new Blast Corps. I don't need to reach for my wallet. I've got the credit card number committed to memory.
Why do you have to call out Y2Kev like this?
I can easily see at least 20 million people buying an Xbox One just to play a new Blast Corps.
I mean, I'd buy one. Would you buy one? I'm going to assume yes. 100% of people polled said they'd buy an Xbox One to play a new Blast Corps game.
I think a non-wearable QOL platform is pretty much guaranteed not to be aimed at hardcore gamers, no? Also wtf is non-wearable? A suppository is in fact non-wearable so I'm not writing that off just yet.
When I inevitably get a Wii U, Pikmin 3 holds my interest as does Bayonetta 2 and probably Mario Kart. Wonderful 101 I will likely try but no expectations on that one
Nintendo is fairly risk averse so I'm not expecting break out new IPs from them tbh
I'm curious to see the PS4 drops compared to XB1 drops relative to previous sales [i.e. who will have large MOM drops and by how much] PS4 should hold much better I think especially in may
280k in May? What game comes out in May?
I mean, it's so vague and abstract how they were describing the concept it seems it could be literally anything. I think it will focus on health and stuff obviously, but they keep saying somehow the products are supposed to tie into their gaming strength and also draw new customers to buy their consoles and the games for them. But how? What in the world could do that in a QOL/non-wearable product?
It's seriously like the riddle of the sphinx or something trying to interpret what this should could be lol
Yeah they are, but my wish is that they realize how dire things are and really swing wide and hope to land a homerun. Nintendo is still one of the most creative and talented developers on the planet, despite their completely predictable and sadly sanitized selection of current Wii U games, and so I know they could really make a bold new game that grabs people's attentions.
That's what they need to do, make games that tell people they can get an experience like that no where else, and that are big and loud and attractive enough to really make it hard for people not to desire the platform associated with them. But instead Nintendo has been intent with making the same old franchises, some even with heavily reminiscent gameplay that people have played a thousand times before, and because of that people are frankly getting tired of it. I love Nintendo, they remain my favorite developer... but even I am bored of playing games with Mario in it set in the mushroom kingdom.

MLB The Show, Watch Dogs, Transistor, Bound by Flame, Wolfenstein
Answered a bit in my previous post, but I'll expand on that. It's not about list wars, but rather generating that mind share of "well I can only play X, Y and Z games on PS4 " even though Joe Casual may not have explicit interest in buying games X Y or Z. Sony severely lacks that kind of mindshare anymore with only a handful of high profile first party titles from ND and GT that can actually pull it off.
If future multiplats go on to sell maybe a third or less on the Bone, Sony spending that $20-30 mil to snatch up exclusivity may not be a bad deal at all. Yeah they have no money and are bankrupt, etc etc but clearly they still have some speculative cash lying around as we see with SE shares and blowing $100m on Stig's project.
I believe the intention of Sony WWS is good, but really, they haven't shown to be a guaranteed hit factory outside of ND. MS has the right idea snagging up a few exclusives as they've already sold more that half of retail titles over PS4 LTD despite the user base disparity.
MLB The Show, Watch Dogs, Transistor, Bound by Flame, Wolfenstein
Phew. That's a solid month.
*stealth Drive Club release*
Yeah...didn't pay much attention to Titanfall when I looked it over...it's really annoying when you try to remember something you just glanced over and it's on the tip of your tongue.
As well as every game journalist, developer, digital foundry.... The site is my fix for laughs nowadays.
I feel a bit bad for the author of that blog. If it's not a parody, then there really has to be something up with him to be that delusional...
The Vita is best as a download-only system. It's no surprise retailers aren't pushing it. If the US market can't move away from retail, the Vita will always do terribly there.
I hope Nintendo releases updated European hardware sales along with their next quarterlies. I get the impression brick-and-mortar-free shopping is a much bigger thing in Europe, which should put the Vita on a more level playing field vs the 3DS at least.
What is this blog? Can someone PM me if it can't be said out loud?
3DS: 159K (-30.9%)
Vita: 10K (-69.7%)
Oh god...
Thanks.
It's like saying the name of this guy xD

Vita right now...
Sigh...
Seems that PS4 and Xbone are selling really great, will probably sell this good or even better for years to come! Wii U is not good but man, Vita is like a dead corpse right now :/ I don't think that V2k and BL2 will do anything much to spur hardware sales
You joke but:
Year-over-year [software] sales of every platform declined from March 2013, with the exception of the PS Vita .
(and PS4 and XBO, obviously).
Hilariously wrong. Sony WWS has no hits?
Please use google before posting garbage.
This is like posting "Halo 4 only sold a few copies."
Calm your jets, I never said they don't have hits.
Your post just made me think how sweet (and entirely unlikely) it would be if during Sony's E3 preso they said something like 'We know a lot of you have been wondering about Driveclub. Well, it's done, and it's available for free _right now_ on PS+. We hope you love it, here's a video.'
That would be _awesome_.
It's the 3% YOY gains that's the most troubling to Nintendo of America right now, considering the deep dissatisfaction with last year's results.
I bet the reason why they didn't do PR this month is because all of their hardware is dropping YOY (DS, Wii, 3DS), or pretty much identical to last year's abysmal results (Wii U).
There is just not much positivity right now in terms of the USA retail market for Nintendo. Can't wait for Mario Kart 8 to come and give Wii U a good shot in the arm.
- What will Sony do with all the Vita games now the console is dead?
I've said this before, IGN's PS crew is great at calling things as it is, as evident by
their extensive criticism of all things playstation and Sony. The Xbox crew at IGN
is a joke in comparison, thanks in large part to the incredibly biased duo,
McCaffrey and Dyer.
By your previous logic what hits do you think MS have right now?
Nope. Only two games retail coming out, Wolfenstein and Watch Dogs. Maybe Super Time Force for digital?That is a solid lineup for PS4 - any XBO (console) exclusives?
Based on the numbers Sony released earlier this year a significant amount of PS4 owners already owned a Vita. I guess it's possible by now those numbers have skewed downwards but I still wouldn't count on remote play changing things much.Don't count Vita out , its a lot to ask for someone to buy a $200 Vita while they are also planning to buy a new $400 PS4 and games for it.
I think it makes sense to see a lull in vita sales while there is an uptick from the pent up PS4 demand. I expect to see a rise in vita sales by the end of the year as many of those 7+ million decide to explore remote play. I think we are reading too much into it at this point.
