I blame the PS3's rough start on the ludicrous price point and their insistence on forcing the Bluray platform at such an early stage in HD home integration. Nowadays it's a lot more common for someone to benefit from an HDMI connection, but at the time of its release that was still a luxury feature, making the PS3 a…

Sony and Nintendo are pretty close in my eyes. The PS4 looks great so far and I can't wait to see what games they reveal at E3. I think the Wii U will find its momentum this year as well, just like the 3DS. But this new XBox is going to be dead out the gate if it tries to pull this kind of crap.

I've owned a Wii U and 3DS from day one of each, and haven't had a complaint yet about either of them. The U is my new primary gaming machine. I definitely like how the PS4 is shaping up, too, but the XB1.... wow. I don't know what the hell Microsoft is thinking.

Just saying, the Wii U is completely backwards-compatible with all Wii content, both on disc and purchased through the VC...

Possibly-mandatory game installs tied to a single console. Additional fees charged in order to play used/borrowed/rented games. No backwards compatibility, whether on disc or digital, which is including XBox Live Arcade content.

I would like to personally thank Microsoft for making the decision of which next-gen system to invest in the easiest one I'll ever have to make.

Well, that was an easy decision to make. PS4 for me. I'll gladly leave the XBox alone this next generation if they try to pull this crap.

You gotta love this brand of litterary humor.

"Tsuda was purrsued for years in connection to the allegation. Agents said they were claws to catching him several times, but each time he led them astray. Officials began to worry it might be impawsible to bring Tsuda to justice. In Japan, tax evasion is a feline-y offense."

It's like if Darth Vader went into industrial design! Seriously, this screams of a Death Star/Empire design aesthetic.

Also: he could call the tweets "Toots."

A baby Luke Tamagotchi? Try a baby Chewie. Sitting there in the middle of class, or working away in the cubicle, and suddenly a high-pitched "R-R-R-R-R-R-OUU-U-U-UR-R-R-R-R-R" echoes from your bag.

It's more frustrating since the whole in-app purchase model can be done right. My wife and I play Puzzle and Dragons right now, a mix of Puzzle League and Pokemon that's on both iOS and Android, and it somehow found the perfect balance between the "timed stamina" recharges and enabling you to keep on playing without…

An unoriginal, standardized game design, wrapped in an eccentric and whimsical costume, and then contaminated with viral in-app purchases and mandatory waiting times.

What they're hinting at is the scale of the whole thing. That faded object next to it is actually Jack Tretton. The PS4 is about 30 feet tall.

Pot, meet kettle.

When the simple becomes the complex.... dang kids and their Call of Duties, can't handle the classics...

"Watch closely now, everyone! Despite the fact that at no point during this exchange have I mentioned my own gaming preferences, he has just automatically labeled them as the opposite of his own! Astonishing! Even better, he's completely oblivious to the fact that I've been mocking his actions in this thread, not his…

"Ooo, you're in for a treat, folks! Up ahead we have someone who treats their opinions as facts! Please remember, for the safety of everyone on the tour, no flash photography; they're easily intimidated."

"... if you look to your left, you'll see a bunch of PC and console gaming elitists, butting heads to validate their preference in gaming platform as superior to all others.
