I don't know why, but I just can't get into Killzone. I played, I think, 2 and possibly 3 on the Playstation 3 (or at least I think I did), and I didn't like the experience. The graphics were great, but how it played drew me away from the experience. If I remember right, you always feel "heavy", laboriously…

Oh you're right! Damn, what was I thinking...

Hate to break it to you, but while there will always be a "Crysis game" for the hardcore community, the future is clearly with Candy Crush, and I say that hating that game. Shorter production time, smaller production budget, and social integration (read, consumer data), welcome to the future of gaming. Cloud-based,…

My argument is the future, not the present. Obviously Microsoft and I can see it and you've chosen to ignore it for better textures. You're obviously settled into your corner with your community, now excuse me while I focus on the billion person gaming community that obviously Microsoft is aiming to grab. And guess…

Sorry, I stopped reading after the first sentence because that's where you missed the point.

That wasn't my point. My point is that they are the consumer base Sony and Microsoft are chasing, and features like the one in this article are their attempts to bring them in.

It's not rocket science. I don't know how sales numbers are subjective? The fact the Candy Crush has 260x more users than the top Steam game, DOTA 2, says all you need to know about where the gaming market is heading.

What part of "future" didn't you understand? Let's compare iPad sales to gaming PC sales, it's not pretty for your PC. The PC continues to grow into a niche group. Heck, I can't remember the last time my company issued anything other than a tablet or laptop to a new employee. The only reason sales are going up is…

Yeah, it outperforms console gaming in every area but sales and profits. Congrats, you have better graphics, mods, and framerates. Nothing says success like "framerates". That's why the top selling games are on the PC right? Grand Theft Auto's billion dollars in revenue say otherwise.

No, steam has improved PC gaming among existing PC gamers. Show me the numbers where a mass number of non-PC gamers are going to PC gaming because of steam. The existing culture has the same population just with better implementation.

Give it up, I own a nice gaming PC and even I see the writing on the wall. If Windows 8 didn't slap you in the face then you really are delusional. The future of gaming isn't on a PC, heck, the future of computing isn't on the PC. PC gaming, with it's high end graphics and high framerates, continues to shrink each…

I think some Kotaku commenters need to recognize that the hardcore console gamer is the minority and not the majority. We all hate that Madden is a yearly release, but the sales numbers back up this business decision. Notice I said "business decision", and that's key. The main players for Sony and Microsoft aren't…

I disagree with you on both points. One, and this isn't me trying to take a stab at you, but these systems are catered to the largest audience possible, so to say, "I can do this." doesn't really matter.

But you're missing the point, Microsoft's goal is to move beyond just being a "game" console. That's their strategy, and if you ask me, it's the necessary next step in the evolution of gaming systems.

You're not crazy, but remember, it's less about how much you want to use this feature and more to the point that it's an available feature.

He's actually doing three things, playing the game, using the sidebar, and narrating it to the camera. I'd imagine he'd be less distracted if he wasn't also making a Youtube video.

Yeah, that would be an awesome feature. My parents love to use Skype because they live far away. Most of our conversations are pretty trivial, and we usually aren't looking into the camera most of the time anyways. To be able to have both up on the screen at the same time would be great.

It's getting harder and harder for me to decide which system to get. I've decided to only get one this generation, and both systems look fantastic. I already have a $3000 custom work PC at home that I play games on, so I'm interested to see which system brings more in the "additional features" department to the…

Yeah, I'll admit, I bought Call of Duty Ghosts last Friday, but I also returned it Sunday for store credit that I used to get a laptop stand for the couch. Yeah, I'd rather have a laptop stand than Call of Duty. I got so sick of playing the multiplayer and getting killed from behind because someone spawned after I…

Congratulations on posting a three year old article, because you know, areas never change.
