Now looking at it like that, developers want control of their games, so who would they prefer to make games for? One where they have the power, or Sony?
You only have to look at exclusives to see who's side developers are on. Ultimate team is xbox exclusive, map packs for bf4 and cod are going to xbox first. The list goes on.
Region free is cool, but most games are released very similar dates and games in the USA don't work out much cheaper so this doesn't really benefit us.
The price difference of the console would take make that much of an impact as there isn't much difference. For example people,especially wouldn't just buy the ps4 because it's cheaper. It's how many a+ games are available and that are coming....
Only time will tell. Both consoles have loyal fans, and it's more down to what my friends get...
This isnt necessarely true, I read a recent interview with Rockstar games and they havent got a clue on what microsoft are doing with the preowned games nonsence, they find it abit unfair that mcrosoft will be charging again for there product.
I think alot of hidden gems will be swept under the carpet without pre owned games sales as there have been many games iv not been to sure on spending £40 on so iv bought them pre owned and enjoyed them to which lead me to buying the sequal at full price.
Pre owned games have been sold for forever, why stop it? Micosoft are trying to dictate everything and will soon be able to view our homes with kinect, infact going off all the feature they will know too much about us including what we are watching on tv.
The difference in games wont be huge as they both have there own fair share of exclusives and many similar features like blu ray player etc so out of the 2 id rather keep as much of my privacy safe as I can and just play a game lol.
When I was a kid my Nes never tried taking over my life, it just played games . . . Well afterblowing the cartridge a few times lol.
