Beat, in console war is so subjective. Even if they make more and "better" exclusives, its subjective to the individual.

The only thing I didn't like in this news is the chance EA might exist in 10 years I wish it died out years ago.

PS4 sucks. Just admit that your a Sony Sucker and move on...


Sorry that your mommy and daddy couldn't afford the extra $100 to buy you an XBONE.


Everyone knows what SONY stands for: "Soon Only Not Yet"


EXACTLY!

Please no one go out and buy the Fire TV. Buy a Wii U instead. Same streaming capabilities, with the addition of off-TV play via the controller. Then you have the first-party games. Amazon could buy whatever studio they want, yet they will still fail in comparison to Ninty's exclusives. Vote with your $. PS4 vs Xbone is getting tired and old, let us just wait for e3 to crown the winner.

@jameshubert12 and anyone who bought a rechargeable battery pack for their XBone controller obviously likes PS4 things better and also likes to pay extra for them. To be fair, its not a PS4 thing, its a 2010's thing. I guess you could say its nostalgic to be plugging AA batteries into your wireless devices.

Of course Xbox One can still win, the console has only been out six months. The Xbox 360 started a year ahead of PS3 and was physically kicking its ass for the majority of last generation and PS3 still caught up. When did people start being so impatient that they think 6 months is a long time? Neither console has any decent games right now. Titanfall and InFamous are a step in the right direction but InFamous was 90% visuals and Titanfall was an all online FPS so has its issues as well.

I've said the same thing about VR since I knew Rift was as thing. No way are families and groups of people going to spend nearly $1000 for headsets so that everyone can play a game using VR at the same time and that is if the consoles and PCs of today can handle it. I mean PCs are powerful but rendering a game at 1080p for six people independently seems like a hard task to ask for right now even if people have top end graphics cards which not that many people do, not Titans anyway which would probably require two or three of for such a task. A console has no chance. The VR headsets will be for core gamers only and I think that is why it will fail to meet its sales targets and die within the first year.

I pledge allegiance to the PC of the United Steam Users of 'Merica and to the Republic for which it stands. One master race under Gabe Newell for which we stand, indivisible, with Steam sales and humble bundles for all... lol

While I don't think Amazon's bid to enter the set top box/gaming device market is any threat to the serious consoles, PS4 and Xbone would crush these things for good if they offered a solid web browser and full support for USB devices and external hard drives. As is they're computers that don't do some basic entertainment functions, and there's no good reason why not. I do have a Mac and I only bought it to do what the consoles can't/won't.

Well, Minecraft is already on Android so not really a fair comparison to the Oculus deal :).


She should probably just stick with making fun of Mac from now on. Probably a lot less Mac fans around here than Nintendo fans. Although, being a superstar video production/editing/etc. guru, she probably loves FCP and all that. I guess that's fine since she was talking about gaming on Macs specifically :).

@LordCrash88 Not a console... just a streamer. Remember OnLive? This is just a cheap device to allow to you use an OnLive-style service (cloud-based gaming).


Who wouldn't want the ability to play high-end games for about $100? ($140-ish if you need the controller)

@ECH71 I think the games are not streamed but rather local. I believe the streaming they are referring to is media, like Netflix or Amazon's service.

1.Both consoles will change and adapt, it is decent Sony are asking though. No point in features if nobody uses or wants them.

2.Amazon, good luck.

3.Neither console will 'win', they will both make a fortune and Sony will continue the tradition of outselling Xbox. Both will return next generation with another version.

For me I'd still just use my game console to watch all my movies and shows. Although Amazon is giving good value the product.
