Well I'd imagine that Microsoft believes they have a stronger eco-system on their console. They have ESPN, NFL, HBO, Twitch, Machinima, and the Fox Family, where as the PS4 has NBA and NHL. I'm sure there are many who would argue that a box that plays NFL and HBO is worth the same amount. Doesn't really matter if you…

The prominent reasons (to my mind) would be exclusives, the X1's superior multimedia capabilities and which of them just happens to be the dominant console in your social circles (for whatever reason). Multiplayer is a big deal so if your friends favor one over the other (for whatever reason) that is a powerful…

"I'm finding that consoles are technically inferior at release in almost every aspect than their PC counterparts anyway... Honestly whether the PS4 is more powerful than the XB1 doesn't matter... both are weak for what you are spending."

I have no idea if they will, just that they should. I have a launch console, and while I would have rather had no kinect and saved $100, at least this would allow it to make up ground on the PS4 and not fail like the dreamcast and I end up with an expensive useless piece of hardware. I had something like 2000 hours…

Based on recent computer specs... it is what people will pay.

True. I think Microsoft, like before, is wagering on consumer ignorance. The Average Joe will just see two difference systems and pick the one with the Halo game. Most people don't go to Digital Foundry, and I bet most don't even know or care that many Xbox One games can't run at 1080p or 60 FPS.

Ask the Playstation 2. Despite being the weakest system, demand for it was so high it kept its price up while Xbox and Gamecube slashed theirs to stay competitive.

Go ahead. Blame the victim. Just forget about those heartless heathens that are targeting poor gurfinki because of his penchant for leaving his consoles next to the open window looking out towards the seedy street corner. Shame on you, sir.

totally understand and thank you for adding. feel free to ask me any questions in the meantime!

The difference is that you got the CHOICE to play as a straight male character... This game doesn't offer you the choice to represent yourself if you are gay.

I think it's more of an "adding insult to injury" thing. Gay couples don't have the same rights and protections in a lot of places, and having that having that translate into the world of a video game that you're trying to enjoy is just kind of depressing.

Also, I don't know that a gay guy can enjoy playing out a…

Yet when Microsoft do the same, it is seen in a negative "they are only covering their backs" kind of way...

Since well before that, even. Nobody's mentioning one of the most important innovations: the effin' d-pad on the Donkey Kong Game & Watch.

Of course, denying gay people the right to get married in a game about relationships and marriage is itself "social commentary."

Torn on this subject. While I fully support marriage equality, I found myself rolling my eyes at this article. PC avengers are always looking for an outlet.

Way to round up on Life of Pi, the film is 127 minutes lol

My God! i didn't saw it until you told us, that's making me cry tears of joy :*)

I know. I saw that too, and felt like someone just reduced the trifecta down to Death and Taxes.

Between this and Lego City Undercover, I might just have to get a Wii U as well.
