Playstation 4 supports voice recognition

@arqe @Enundr @blue_shift_91 Thank you! Well put! I wish I could tell every obtuse fanboy out there the same thing and have them actually listen to it rather than blindly shutting the idea out. ...hard being one of the few that gets it and having to put up with all the close minded remarks trash talking the One. I'm gonna buy them all, I just can't stand seeing how many people trash talk the thing (XOne) while defending the others. They are all good consoles, the One just has more to offer with extra features...which costs a little more. And for the "only care about games" argument, there are far more exclusives at this point on the One anyhow so that's still a lame reason to trash talk. I actually both miss, and prefer, the "Idk, I just like it better" reasoning...that even makes more sense.

@Enundr @blue_shift_91 @garysingh34 They weren't giving information away to the NSA, they were legally bound to signing an agreement with them. Since then, joined by google, they actually tried to sue the government trying to get them to be more lenient about what information they can request and making sure they made both the company aware of it before doing so. They failed....its the government. But, they did in fact try, and did not WANT to give that information away. Why would they want to alienate their consumers buy doing so which would just end in financial loss for them all just so they could help the government spy on us. They are a company, money is what they are concerned about, not giving away information. And for all those shouting 'PC Gamer" out there, the government already has the rights to your information through the internet and has for quite some time now. And for everyone else who is concerned about US Spys, they have had the rights to your cell phones for a long time as well and have already used it on many counts.

@garysingh34 @blue_shift_91 I will say it once again, MS should have offered their vision of the future with incentives for going always online and digital. but at the same time offered a lower scale of not always having to be online and store bought copies of games. They took too big of a leap and scared the hell out of their consumers. And also they didn't think about the parts of the world and our own USA that don't have good or even any internet connection. They could have just offered more content to those who went with always on and those that don't want it just don't get those extra features but can still game. I personally just didn't like them forcing it down my throat, and being a gamer with both consoles but using my 360 predominately, was looking forward to the next gen MS was putting out. I went out after E3 and preordered a PS4 along with most of my friends. I will buy a Xbone in the future b/c my wife and I still like to have neighborhood parties with Dance Central and get a little sauced b/c it's a blast. But I work in Boston and when I am in lower income areas at a Dunkin Donuts, and hear the people talking about the policies and them not having internet so they can't buy the Xbone that's what MS should have thought about. It is a share of the market and seeing the poverty level in this country alone, especially since 2007 market crash, it just shows how not in touch and elite MS is.

@Enundr @blue_shift_91 I play games on PC and borrow consoles from my friends. I dont care which one sells more or which one is better.I just cant stand Sony defending fanboys idiocity.

Hard concept to understand ?

There is a "Hard Concept" for you to understand.

That 100$ you are so worried about , saying all "Extre 100$ for Kinect."

Xbox One got tons of different and more features that Ps4 cant offer.You use them all or not there are features that Ps4 cannot do.

So you are here still saying 100$ for Kinect blah blah blah.

How much money these "hard working" people paying for an Smart TV for their home ?

1500$ maybe ?

And how much is that same TV without smart option ? 250 - 300$ ?

Okey now lets rethink the idea of Xbox One.

I got normal TV for 1250$ , i buy Xbox One for 500$ now my TV is a Smart TV and i paid 250$ for Xbox One. Also i got Kinect and tons of extra features for 250$.

Lets go with Playstation now.

I got a tv 1250$ and got a Ps4 now. 1650$ and nothing more .... Lets add smart TV.

1500$ for smart TV , 400$ for Playstation 1900. and thats it ... Thats the Ps4 offering. NOTHING !

So now RETHINK about that hardworking people who thinks about 100$ .....

100$ for Kinect ... HARD THING TO UNDERSTAND ....

@blue_shift_91 @garysingh34 i understand their initial "visions" but with todays standards , and ISPs , things were not ready for this state of gaming. and with their lack of trust generated from giving user data away to NSA and kinect was always online all the time (or always plugged in , sorta glad they changed that cause i dont care for it ) it showed as a possible vulnerability in the system , ie it was a webcam in of itself and thats generally the easiest thing to hack in computers. Xbone wasnt going to be the exception , both xblive and psn have tendancy to get minor hacks , and its unrealistic to think theyre 100% invulnerable from hacks , but putting in a vulnerability like this wasnt going to be a good design for the console. theyve generally built that distrust from the NSA thing and the forced kinect was NOT going to help their case , but now noone wants it in the console at all and dont want to spend the money as it feels like were still having our options taken from us , our freedoms to choose if we want to get a peripheal or not , that is why ppl go to PS4. we feel like less of our rights are not getting taken away. if M$ wants to try to save face in this area theyre going to have to make a kinect free xbone , as much as they want to keep saying theyre not going to and hoping to make $ back from R&D (that isnt the bad thing mind you and they have that right to do so), but because of this peripheal theyre having less ppl buy the console as a whole , and have to ask themslevs which choice will help them regain $ and try to make profits from it , a kinect free xbone where its a choice to have one or not , or keep with what they have and gaurentee the ppl that dont want kinect also dont buy the console (loss of $ from console AND kinects). but then comes the situation of will ppl not get kinects at all. tough decisions but with that kinect still being forced to be purchased they gaurentee i dont buy an xbone , i dont want it now and i wont care for it then , and there has been little to nothing that felt remotely intriguing about the device. i already have pretty much all the media crap i need at home now , and dont need to spend $500 for another one , just want a gaming console XD

@garysingh34 @blue_shift_91

i actually agree with you. i felt like they should have stuck with it. but i can understand the 180. their PR was awful, and when you risk losing way too large of a market share, you gotta salvage what you can, however you can. in any case, i hope they try again later on in the future - preferably with a softer transition for a larger audience.

@robertcain @zathroe I really hope that you won't have to pay for both subscriptions.

It is generous but in the end it limits them to what they can put out due to publishers and developers not wanting their games being sold without profit. To be honest I kind of wish I had a PS3 so I could benefit from their awesome program, but alas I don't have to cash for that now.

@zathroe @robertcain With TESO I was thinking about how Bethesda was pressuring MS to drop the XBL charge as people won't be as encouraged to pay out both £40 a year for XBL plus an extra £15 a month for that MMO.

I see what you mean by keeping the older games forever; it is a generous move but in the end, I think more people will probably be drawn into getting newer games, even if they aren't fully yours forever.

@Paleamon i personally dont care for those "features" i tend to play games late into the night , sorta when other ppl in the house are sleeping. do you think i care to wake them up with shouting or jumping around? no i do not , as much i as care to have fun with games , i do not care to let a peripheal (which i do not care for or ever purchase) ruin others nights. i have respect for those around me , said peripheal that is not giving me a choice to get or not on xbone has no respect to begin with (in design / choice of being sold with or not) that again is why ppl dont complain about it being with the PS4 or not , because theres some lvl of respect for our freedoms of choice , whether the ppl that just come on here to hate ppl for their pasts (and cant get the hell over it apparently) see this or not. this is the issue with the whole thing , ppl do not care for the stuff outside of family oriented games , ask how Nintendo is doing , see how said motion controls are going for them.

@Enundr @Paleamon :( This makes me sad... Who was I calling a fanboy? I called no one a fanboy at all. and also, as I stated before, I was more interested in the double standard that is being put to the CONCEPTS that Microsoft and sony are doing the same things with their systems, but MS is getting flack over it, while Sony isn't. ok, I understand that many people don't want the Kinect bundled in with their Xbox One, but again, that wasn't my question. I was comparing the hate that MS got when the ORIGINAL KINECT CAME OUT, (that they still get for it based on the principle of motion control and voice commands) even though no one has forced anyone to buy that Kinect at all, and the fact that now that Sony has stated that the PS eye will do the same thing, that no one is up in arms making the same arguments and complaints, again about the concept, against it.

It is truly sad when someone gets on a website and asks a genuine question about human nature, they get called a troll because they seem to be questioning one side or the other. in this case that side just happens to be Sony, but it could have been MS. I personally don't use Kinect and I probably never will, but I know TONS of people who will. Same with PS eye. does that mean that I have to hate on the product just because I won't use it? no. seeing this just makes me wonder why people have double standards is all.

@JBStone1981 @Enundr @Paleamon microsoft take that right away from me, because i don't want the kinect but i want the xbox one ur being ignorant and if i was getting a ps4 i wouldn't buy the camera as well

@Paleamon the thing is PS4 is NOT forcing ppl to buy the eye , xbone is with it. the console would not be $500 if it didnt , that much is for certain. so it is being foced and i dont fee l like paying for a peripheal i will never use. and to the idiot that things i never planned to buy the xbone before E3 and the massive dissappointment , you sir are wrong and a blatant troll that calls anyone with a general issue about something since E3 a fanboy. the fact is the DRM and all those other policies didnt bother me as badly , but i did NOT want the kinect at all. get your facts straight before calling ppl fanboys ;-) unless you are a fanboy yourself that doesnt do actual research / reading posts? =P

@Enundr @Paleamon ok, I understand that about the CONSOLES and the companies, but that wasn't what I was asking. it seems to be the CONCEPT of voice controls and motion controls, not the platform that they are used on, that the hate is directed at. Like I said in my original post, setting aside the policies that MS DIDN'T PUT INTO EFFECT, thus making them EXACTLY THE SAME as Sony policies when consoles hit the shelves, there seems to be a flooding of hate comments when MS mentions voice commands and such, and merely a whimper when Sony mentions it. or paid online: why is it that people rage against MS for charging for access to online play, but when Sony says that they are going to start charging for it after 7 years of not doing so... you hear people say what a smart move it was, and that it will only be a better thing for the people... even though they stated for YEARS that the free online is what made PS 3 better than 360.

@Enundr @Paleamon You're not being "FORCED" to do anything. If you don't want to pay for the console, don't pay for the console. You're a fucking Sony fanboy who wasn't going to buy an XBox anyway, so why the vitriol?

@Paleamon @Enundr no cause its not being FORCED on us , were not being forced to pay for something we dont need/want , hence why theres no outburst in it. were given a choice of either getting it or not , xbone removes our choices and makes them for us in that case , since its debut at E3 all the original policies were very restrictive on gamers and aimed only at benefiting the developers while some / most seem to make crap games continiously (that part of them being crap or not is up to each persons perception on them) , while gamers were getting less flexibilty with ther consoles , more restrictions. thats where the outburst was , thats why you still see it today . it was a horrid move by M$ and they no longer have trust so long as ANY of those original policies remain as is.
