GTR63 wrote: » No offence but the blurb is a horrible show to watch bar the bit with the guy playing retro games in the attic which can be funny. I watched 3 or 4 episodes and they never once trashed a game.

MS must be handing out checks to tv networks to spin only positive pr, with no mention what so ever of any of the downsides.

As a person who did most of his gaming (~80%) on the 360 this generation - based on the fact that I owned one first, and far more friends owned it - my choice for next generation is remarkably simple, and can be summed up with 1 question: which platform will Naughty Dog be making games for? I'll buy a PS4 without any doubt. Not sure when, or at what price point, but I'll certainly buy one. I don't have the same certainty about the Xbox One. At all...

Though I can really see publisher have part to play in the whole " second hand game market is damaging industry". I heard about stupidly low cuts from new games retailers get. Thats on top of trying to be competitive. Publishers pushed retailers to try and survive some sort of way. Used games was an option that saved their asses. now publishers got all their knickers in a twist "oh oh oh, we dont see a cut from it". Now the gamer suffers, because two big boys cant share that big cheese. Honestly, keeping the shop up, paying bills, paying staff, maintenance, losses on stock going down in value etc. All on 2 bucks from a 60$ game. I was talking to Gamestop manager myself about console sales and he said the same thing to me - "we get feck all profit on selling you a very expensive machine". and that was years ago.

While I certainly didn't agree with everything TB said on the matter, my main issue with Sterling was that he alternated between twisting the facts to make the publishers out to be the bad guys (god knows they're perfectly capable of doing this all on their own) and basically getting his facts flat out wrong with regard to the retailer and publisher relationship. Either way, it doesn't lead to a particularly useful debate imo.

If you invest a lot of time into you games, it's pretty nice to see some sort of reward for it. GT's and score have a lot of meaning to people so I wouldn't be so dismissive of it.

Penn wrote: » I agree in a way and perhaps it is down to interpretation of what he said, but considering how little time was spent on the gaming side of things in the XB1 reveal, it's hard not to think that given what he said, gamers aren't who they're aiming the machine towards because they think most gamers will buy it anyway. And he's probably right considering how gamertag and gamerscores etc will transfer over to the new machine. Anyone who played the 360 a lot wouldn't want to lose those so likely will get the XB1.

Mitch Connor wrote: » But he specifically says even people who focus on games will still pick xbox (in his opinion). Saying they will pick it implies it would be picked over something else (WiiU/PS4) so he isn't actually saying what you reckon, imo. He is saying the super core will buy all devices - talking about a small percentage of the audience. You still have casual gamers, families and gamers (like myself) who he still reckons the XBOX will more than satisfy. Can't help but feel this is another case of people jumping on anything to bash MS/XBOX with - when there is so much legit stuff anyway!
He said Sony would add other entertainment apps, “But that’s after we establish the platform as a video game platform. We want to make sure that we are there for the gamers with our PS4 as well. They will go beyond this, but they’ll definitely start with gamer first. He concluded, “For us, it’s all about the gamers.”
