I still feel alot of people will be surprised on how many units microsoft will sell. Alot still remember the drm etc,but the casual gamer(the bigger market) wont even know that exsisted. Their going to see the "new xbox" and thats that.
Cod ghosts one game thats not as good on xbox as it is on ps4. Yet there is no footage to compare the two. Look at the difference between bf4 on both platforms....theres hardly any. Not enough for normal non fanboys people to care about. I think both look amazing.
Microsoft have never said its the ultimate gaming console. They even said its ot built just for games. Its a entertainment system. They claim they have the best games...which in my eyes they do. THey never said "we have the most powerful machine"
If they really push the kinect,but in the way people would benifit and not just gimicks then sony could have a bit of a problem in the future. Just look at the simple things like passing the controller to a brother or friend and the settings auto changing. When playing games and it scanning your face and putting your face on the character.This would be awesome.... How could sony compete when they decided to scrap the ps eye just to reduce the price of the console which in doing that meant the light on the controller is now.....just a light that uses up the power quicker.
I hate jumping around in front of the telly. didnt like the wii, so obviously didnt like the kinect. BUT i see the possiblity now especially as its with EVERY console, therefore developers know that they could bring good new experiences that everyone would use. Leaning (which i tend to do without being aware of it lol) while playing first person shooters could make your man lean, talking can make things happen in game, it reading your heartrate could do things to make you react... so many possibilites.
Dont get me wrong, sony have shown some good stuff that could be coming down the pipe line, but its all rumours. Microsoft are showing different stuff off every day. All sony have said this who time is...."we are cheaper,no drm, our console is more powerful, you now have to pay.....oh, and here is our new controller with a light on it and a touch pad....which er does nothing new or good.
The ps 4 is just a more powerful ps3 with a new dashboard. I want to see inovation. I want to see next gen. new ideas.
At least microsoft are trying.
Ive see pics of vr headsets.....Why dont they show that off. Would be amazing.
It wouldnt suprise me if microsoft went chasing oculus rift and snapped them up. When meantioned to them in an interview about vr and oculus, they smiled and said we have made the xbox expandable with 3.0 usb ports.......They have the money.
