Nelson" Sony and Xbox gamers should be friends."

I get what he's saying, but he can start by leading by example. Both companies take shots at eachother all the time. Pretty sure he even took a shot at Sony for the PS4 reveal without actually showing the console...

He's been taking shots all last gen as well lol.

They just adapted this humble approach because them Quads are selling.

truth is i really feel sorry for Lems. most of them bought like 2-3 Xbox360's because of the RROD. but i didn't i got a PS3 straight away.. and it's still running smooth and great

lol PC gaming.

yeah im crying.....with laughter at the thought of your little 15" monitor, uncomfortable chair giving you back spasms and the RSI from your K+M.

surround sound, 65" plasma and comfy couch for the win.

You know this...I know you do, search your feelings.

Something rubs me the wrong way about the guy, I understand getting rid of the hate and irrational comments people make, but this Major Nelson will dismiss ANY legit criticism and talk his way way around a legit issue without answering the question. Looking the other way does not make a real problem go away. He excels at that.

He's a PR man, thats what they do.

LOL Major Nelson!!! Where were you last gen, when they were winning and doing well and pretty much on cloud 9, while Xbots bashed Sony fans for buying the PS3, he didn't make a peep, now this gen because the Xbox got bad press and is 100$ more expensive, and not keeping up with Sony, "we should all be friends, stop bashing each other". What a wanker.

In all honesty, this stuff has been going down since Sega/Nintendo,and continues today down to Apple/Android, it means nothing it's just a little fun debate and teasing, no one takes it seriously outside system wars, people have preference, and these things will keep going on no matter what.

Settle down, there, prison mike.

Don't really listen to anything PR says from either company unless they are stating facts. They are only saying what they have been told to say, for what reason I don't really understand.

I don't expect Lems to admit it here in SW... but even you guys must be getting sick of this guys PR BS.

LOL

@clone01: I would quote this bit mobile does not allow it! But I did lol :p

I love agreeing with myself.

Too bad that the system war lemmings are mostly scumbags.

Hahahaha.....somebody's upset.

Wouldn't it be funny if all this sweet talk ends up being Major Nelson getting a job at Sony? Probably wouldn't happen but would be funny none the less.

Anyways, outside these consoles, Microsoft and Sony are business partners. In someways, they are with the consoles too. Sony has two apps on the Xbox Platform and the orignal Xbox Live music features were exclusive to Sony artists. Sony Vaio is also a Windows PC and Sony has made Windows Phones in the past in the middle of a console war.

So much TRUTH above. Screw Microsoft, Major Nelson, and all of their shills up the A with broken glass.

Just to add, Microsoft thinks they can control the narrative with their shills or buy away their problems. Theyre wrong on all accounts. It'll never work. We the gamers>>>Microsoft. We'll continue to call Microsoft out on everything, on all of their BS, while we will always support and love Sony for treating us gamers right. PS4 is an amazing gaming console. Playstation exclusives are always amazing .

Im glad the PS4 is out selling the xbone by such large margins. That sets the right precedent. Im also glad the xbone gets the hate it deserves and continues to get it....but in truth, the xbone really does deserve zero sales-or more so, Microsoft doesnt deserve any sales for the irrehensible DRM/always online schemes they tried to get away with. They still ended up releasing an under powered, over priced cable box (known as the xbone) so still **** 'em.

The fact xbone has even more then one sale is a disgrace to gaming. You got to wonder who are these dummies buying an under-powered, over-priced, anti-consumer xbone - when there is a cheaper, more powerful option in the PS4 that does everything better for less while having better exclusive playstation developers and better support from Sony. PS4>>>>xbone in every damn way possible..

Than again, Microsoft has been caught lying about sales numbers before. I doubt the xbone even has half the sales Microsoft claims it has. According to most retailer reports and data reports xbones are still sitting on shelfes. By comparison there is actual high level demand for the PS4. PS4s sell out within seconds of being on shelfes..

Either way, the PS4 is a legit culture phenomenon. The PS4 is having all time legendary success. The PS4 has legs and will continue to sell like hot cakes for a sustained long time.The xbone is a fad. Its already experiencing drops in sales (all good news)

As long as this gen continues I will continue to give the xbone the hate it deserves too so **** off Major Nelson you hypocrite Microsoft PR scum. You also cant tell me who to be friends with or what to do.

Also, we all know that if it were people hating on Sony instead, Microsoft wouldnt be saying the same thing. If it were the xbone selling out, Mirosoft wouldnt be saying the same thing.

I cant stand Microsoft

Microsoft eepitomizes the word shady in every way you can think of. Microsoft has done too much harm already. Microsoft has proven time and time again how ANTI-CONSUMER and ANTI-GAMER they are. Microsoft really needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth. I would have no problems with Microsoft going under. In fact thats what gaming needs. **** YOU MICROSOFT. YOU WILL NEVER WIN

That's like asking a Hen and Rooster to mate, either way, their still 2 chicken

Sidenote: Shouldn't the title have been Sony and Microsoft or Playstation and Xbox?

....

Same here. I mean, this is probably the worst of all places to espouse that viewpoint, but I totally don't get all the hate sometimes.

What the hell is Nelson talking about???

I am my friend.

Microsoft will not allow this and that is why Final Fantasy XIV is not on Xbox.

Yeah this would be nice if Microsoft and its fanboys had that attitude last generation when they were winning. I wasn't paying attention around the time PS3 was first released, but I can only imagine how bad it was based on what I've read the last two years. **** Microsoft and Xbox. Hope this is their last generation and Elop runs it into the ground.

That Nelson should visit SW and see how friends we're

I've never been into one as winning. point is if you have a console and enjoy it, you are winning. If you have the attitude you have, you are a loser...regardless of what you own

I sincerely hope Xbox fails. They suck and gaming would be better off without them.

If Playstation gamers should be friends with Xbox gamers, how come XBox Live gamers can only play games with people on XBox Live?

congrats, you are a loser in life. Guess what you win? a life of sadness and disappointment. and no this doesn't go for cows only. works the same for lems, hermits, and whatever you call Nintendo fans around here.

LOL, Dead Rising 3 was bad. The game was dry and got boring. Dead Rising 1 and 2 are the best by far. Killer Instinct haha that game was rubbish, I will wait until Street Fighter is released for Next Gen. More like Quantum Rape, don't see this game being a hit.

Halo is the only game that will keep Xbox One alive. However that is due for release nearly end of this year but who knows might be 2015. At this rate one should buy a PS4 and by the time Halo is released the price of the Xbox One console will drop huge.

Xbox One is just restricted with the lame port of Windows Phone 8 OS. HDD is crippled. Design is a failure. Kinect with TV integration in the UK/Rest of the World (apart from United States) it's useless.

Agreed.
Sony and Microsoft are doing well with the X1 and PS4 with developers continuing making next gen games for them.
Lots to talk about and play.
Whereas the Wii U.. lol.

@Jakandsigz: i agree with him. The guy is probably tired of spam and hate

Of course he'd want this, because it's hurting business.

Word of mouth is a strong thing, multiply that by the internet and you get some seriously negative publicity for your new system.

I hate zombie threads.

@imiahi: please don't tell me you're stupid enough to believe your opinion of those games applies objectively to others. You need to go back to grade one, if you do.

Da **** was this bumped for? Not even anything written in the post that bumped it.

Oh dear....

You...you know we're talking about video-games here? The things where you press buttons and some magical stuff happens on the screen and there's lights and sounds and it's entirely inconsequential in every conceivable way?

That's what we're talking about here. Have a cuppa and relax.

Everytime MS says anythin at all it just gives the impression of desperation and they'll try absolutely anythign at all to get people to buy the bone.

I hate zombie threads.
