Not taking a side here, but infamous, Killzone, and the order:1866 are about shooting and blowing stuff up. Maybe use different examples.

In all honesty, they weren't wading in. They did a big old cannonball Into that pool.

PS3 can do this if you're willing to share your PSN login info (email and password) anyou PSN account can only be logged in on one console at a time.

This. This 100%. But that's too simple. :)

Forza 5's and Dead Rising 3's single player modes rely heavily on the cloud, thus an Internet connection.

It may go away or be less prominent.

Steam has lenient DRM because you can't resell their games. For Xbox to do what (at least as far as we knew) what they wanted to do with digital lending and sharing, and full installs off discs, then they either needed to get rid of used games completely and have super lenient drm, or let people trade in stuff and…

They're gone.

They can't do the full installs of discs withouin the check in. Then people would just pass a disc around. The family sharing allowed some of that but it was tightly controlled.

LOL.

Well, I kind of understand their point with the DRM.

Most, not all, and the trend on Steam is that new releases are starting to see the $60 price tag that consoles have seen all through the last generation.

It's also about ensuring that the developers take full advantage of their "cloud."

Yusuf Mehdi says some very similar things in an Arstechnica interview, though he uses the Apple AppStore as a reference instead of Steam.

They won't do that because they're pushing that Kinect hardcore and want more developers to use it.

Companies patent stuff all the time that they may or may not use. just last year Sony patented a RFID chip DRM system for bluray discs, but they're not using it in ps4.

Which games? I never saw a AAA game from a big publisher priced below the standard $49.99 for PC titles.

Steam prices are set by the publisher, and almost every new AAA game is full price when they launch.

No. Microsft said there is a fee if you install a game to your profile while its still in use by the original purchaser's profile.

"any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that."
