Is this guy supposed to be the "Kevin Butler" for MS? Just trying to figure out what his role is. He certainly lacks the charisma and humor of Butler. And the name "Major Nelson"? is that a throw back from the Civil War or something? By the way, what ever happened to Butler anyway? Did he get canned? Is Sony goin to find someone new?

If this is true, it would be a very smart move by MS (this coming from a Sony guy). Somehow, they need to make digital a good value for consumers. This resell option is brilliant. Do this, or at least drop the price of digital downloads by $15 or so. If MS does this, I hope Sony will follow suit. Why not ride the wave of these two competitors in making things better for consumers all the way around?

I don't even play COD, and I'm ready to see it toppled too. What's up with that? Guess I hate seeing all that money going to a company that IMO puts out sub-par games.

Nice article Mark. I heartily agree. Sony is doing a marvelous job.

I like it. That was pretty informative and fun to watch. Evoked emotion of the "Old ways". I'm ready again to enter the Dark Souls world. Bring It ON!

Go SONY!!!

Well.... You still didn't explain why you do all these MS exclusives. Here was your chance to explain yourself. You even said it was a "messaging errror" on EA's part, and then you still didn't correct the messaging error. So why??? Why does EA "appear" to favor Xbox? I can't believe that you totally flubbed the chance to clear it up. Jeeeez! How do you guys make multi-million $ salaries and bonuses and you can't even clear up a common misconception? Says to me your intelligence is not correlated well with your wallet size. Well, maybe there is an inverse correlation.

Can't wait for Thatgamecompany's new game. Journey was totally awesome, played it through like 15 times! Media Molecule, which I think is indie, put out a great game in LittleBigPlanet as well. I love indie games, as well as some of the AAA games too. Definitely over the FPS military type games though, they have adopted the wash-rinse and repeat model that has become soooo boring.

@kevin_42 @skeet1964 Ha ha, No, I didn't, but you can think that. ;)

MS continuing changes is laughable.

Sony didn't need to comment, it is totally obvious, and no need for Sony to rub it in. They looked silly and immature in making the comment.

Overall, competition is good and has made things better for consumers.

Bottom line now - buy the system that plays the games you like, or buy them both. For me, I'll stick with Sony. More diverse games IMO.
