Who hasn't taken a back seat on the WiiU? Even Nintendo themselves have. Also these are hardware configurations in which the software requirements can be changed as needed. Remember when you didn't have to swim through a barrage of advertss on the 360 and you could just play your games?

We will see ultimately what…

There is no true Free Market.

Ultimately you do have a choice, you do not have to buy any of the game consoles. You do not have to have a gaming machine. This isn't like water, gas or electricity which is controlled in some areas by single large corporations and are regulated to make sure they don't gouge their…

Remember guys this is a hardware platform. They can easily change how software acts and behaves, such as taking a decent blade ui to a bizarre yet functional one to an even more bizarre, ad-ridden, hard to navigate to your games one over the span over the years.

I figured Sony and MS were going to try and push console…

Very true.

I feel the video game industry has grown more in the right direction (trust me, it has a long way to go) on this issue, especially when compared to the Comics industry.

That though, is an entirely different headache.

My big worries is while watching X-Box branded shows through my xone how often will Kinect hear the show and mess up my experience...

Master Chief: "we need to get to that halo"
Kinect: "Launching Halo 5"

I think the real solution to the big issue is if developers put in a no-trade window in for their games, such as one-three months after release. After that point, they remove the no trade on the game and allow business as usual. This will allow them to make maximum profits within those three months without alienating…

As a huge pc player, it's not a big deal for me, but for:

Military
Students living on Campus
Families (rural, lower income) that don't have household internet and rely on wireless to stay in touch

Is he truly an asshole out of ideals or to harden his skin? When he's in the tub and opens up... you're amazed at how even more deep and complex of a character he is.

I love how Martin makes characters who seem deep actually be shallow, single minded people and vice versa. Then of course all his characters are original…

The game is enjoyable. Let me say the music, the art and the story are superb. The game as for gameplay and being linear is alright. It's above average but I can see aesthetically challenged people being turned off by those two issues.

Overall it feels like I am playing in a French Comic version of Blade Runner, which…

The only reason I am tempted to even get this is for the amazing Controller Support. When playing it at launch on PC I felt the entire time that it was designed for a Game Pad....

Damn it, Why now, I don't want to buy a Wii U right yet >.<

Time for you Console only guys to build a great budget pc, even hook it to your tv and treat it like a full media set top box... wait...

X1 and PC Exclusive? Yay PC! <waits patiently for X1 Controller for PC>

I felt two things:

1. The game play wasn't for me.

It was different technologies. At 2x HD-DVD had a max transfer of 36MBps while Blu-Ray at 2x was 54MBps.

HD-DVD being the same laser used in DVD players, which was red. Blu-Ray used the new blue laser which even at a similar frequency had the ability to transfer more data per second and compact more data on the same…

Social and Media conditioning aren't a problem at all. The fact they use psychological experts on everything from advertisement on child toys to the design of your fabric softner labeling isn't about high standard of design it's about manipulation.

If you were born past 1980 you have been targeted by such conditioning…

You fortold my future. Are you a witch or some otherworldy being?

The serious issue with Cloud computing as in shared processing is it requires substantial overhead and relies heavily on many nodes in which information passes. If you just look at seti at home, it takes a lot of time to download, process, and upload jobs.

What can they do reliably outside of something similar like…
