Because movies take about two years to make, you won't truly see the lessons Hollywood has learned (if any) from 2012 until 2014.

Good.

Ah, now eventually you do plan to have video gaming on your, on your video game console, right? Hello?

I didn't see the gamescom jab to be that bad. Sony just took the opportunity to remind people that they have a strong vision that doesn't require any changes in policy. In other words, they know what they're doing this time around.

Snitches get pitches.

Seriously? I didn't play the first that much (twice, really). I need to get back on it.

If these masks are in the game, I will buy it now.

I'm sure Microsoft's next announcement is the completion of their time machine which they will use to go back to the initial X1 announce and redo the last three months.

The truth is Microsoft does not have the courage of their convictions. Every console maker to this point has made a system and held to their ideas, good or bad. Some did well, some failed. Others started off well and then began to fail while a few appeared to fail but then turned it around. No matter the outcome, you…

The difference was (at the time) that the PS4 would still work if you didn't connect to the internet in a predetermined amount of time. I don't have a problem a system always being online; it's forced online that people had a problem with. The idea that a console will not be able to play games offline, either by…

The Eye is not essential to play, so there is a trade-off there.

Brutal.

Did you just have a stroke typing that?

You meant William Goldman (I'm a huge fan of his) and he is absolutely right. In fact, the older I get the more I find his saying applies to everything. Film, TV, games, parenting, politics, and everything in between.

The sticking point here is that Nintendo should have done this BEFORE the Wii U launched, not six months later when they saw their sales numbers were less than expected. This move is Marketing 101. How much does it cost them to send a message to current Wii owners? Nothing.

I never saw a single ad marketing the PS3 as a cheap bluray player. The PS3 didn't truly take off until 2009 when the console price had been cut in half and Sony had a consistent stream of games for it.

When Sony had their PS4 event, my brother was asking me about it and we started talking about the next generation. At one point, he asks when is Nintendo putting out their new system. I'm like, "Uh, three months ago...".

"To come to work and have no expectations of you, like it almost doesn't matter if you're there, or what you do when you're there, is a purgatory I never want to re-enter."

Boom.
