It seems like we are agreeing, and yet still debating.

It destroys both in raw specs. It doesn't destroy both in actual experience-performance necessarily. Teams of 50-200 people will be making console games to use every % of power in the PS4/XB1.

this makes me uncomfortable

No brand allegiance— AMD just had the better bang for the buck when I purchased in my price range 100-150$

Did Sega not publish Sonic Dash? You only get one life per run, but you can buy "continues" (AKA extra lives) with in-game or real currency.

I still think XBOX 361 would have been a preferable name, but I like that people call it the XBone— it makes if obvious that they are M$ detractors.

Does anyone? The U.S. never got a "hard" Mario game until they released Mario 2 (Lost Levels). Mario isn't about difficulty— it's about exuberant, creative and polished fun.

Nice! Thanks. I know Pokemon aims to sell many times as many as AC:NL, but it makes me feel more confident that I'll be able to download Pokemon on launch day.

Between a new phone and a next gen console, I am le poor.

Ellen Page is ceaselessly adorable.

Question for anyone that has used Nintendo Store for downloading a big game on release day: does it work? I really prefer to have all my games on my system with cloud saves, so I've opted not to pre-order. I'm just worried that a game this big (popularity big) will crash their servers and leave me a sad panda. They…

Condescending douche credentials? verified.

So...you are calling me and lots of others delusional and mentally retarded.

I work in IT, have a wired connection and 15mbit internet. I'm pretty sure it's not just my idiocy. It's also a systematic issue. Just see any satire of PSN downloads on youtube

Wait, I thought that the XB1 would only sell one console. Have Kotaku posters misinformed me?

Sony has always been awful at that. I still love my PS3 for LBP and Ni No Kuni, but their servers are capped at about 56k. If you have a 1.8gb patch, you should just go play, eat dinner and go to sleep.

Not sure if serious.

When is the last time you've had any issues downloading from Microsoft?

This guy?

It's my favorite game of the last few years, although it's a game I havent come back to to play again. I don't know if I'm just older, but I beat Oblivion four times consecutively with different characters.
