Yes, the Wii sold more units, but it did not sell more units to Gamers (which is the only metric that matters to me) because of those reasons specifically. It hit a gold mine in a casual crowed that even Nintendo didn't realize existed but Gamers, except those that just had to have Nintendo first party titles, for…

When a the companies around choose to add a cap, there is no negotiation. We found a slightly cheaper option but its stil a 150 cap, with no larger cap packages so its overage fees galore.

Thats all Starcraft II is. The disc contains a 2 MB installer file that downloads the other 14 GB and installs it. Took a few hours before I could play a game that I bought and had the physical disc for! Go PC!

Well you still have 30+ minute installs, its just doing it in the background now, so its less noticeable. If you wanted, for example, to use a feature that is not available until the install has completed, you will still be waiting quite awhile.

I would not advertise this...girlfriends around the world will be more likely to choose Xbox One!

From the article, he said that the Xbox One requires longer (sometimes complete installs) before things that are available quite early on on the PS4 version are available on the Xbox One version. So the logic of the Xbox One installs baffle me, since the HDD, BDROM, and internet connection, and game, are all (more or…

You dont have to worry about capping "yet". I had cable for _years_ and they just decided, a few months ago (my normal, non heavy-download use is ~300 GB) to make the cap 150 GB. Thankfully they have (expensive) packages for more, but some, like ATT that just recently added a 150 GB cap have no packages above 150…

Tell me about it. Most of my PC gaming is with MMO's, and those take _ages_ to install, and then _ages_ to patch. Its even worse when the majority of the internet providers across the USA are caping at 150 GB!

Digital vs Disc makes no difference, its a different CPU architecture. Same reason that you cant run x86 apps on a Windows RT tablet, for example.

Anyone who thinks that us wanting to not require the companies to include a GPU and CPU from last generation on the board of the system for this generation makes us idiots is an idiot themselves.

Thats what you get for buying digital. If either console goes full digital in their next iterations, I would just stop playing entirely. I will buy small DLC, and maybe sub $5 games digitally, but I will not amass a collection of digital products that will, almost guaranteed, be lost when the next generation hits,…

The only thing that requires PS+ is to play games online. Exceptions to this are free to play games (they don't require PS+), or anything that you already pay a subscription to (like an MMO, or Netflix). Only games that you buy once, and then play online infinitely, are subject to the PS+ paywall.

You obviously do not understand that the CPU architecture is different (x86 instead of PPC) on the new systems, unlike the WiiU which is using the same CPU type. Its not possible for them to do this unless they include a full PS3 (or 360) "on-the-board", and thats costly.

Sums up my feelings quite nicely. If they stay with x86 (and I dont see why they wouldnt at this point) we should have 'free' backwards compatibility from here on.

I hope they support this official headset soon, otherwise I wont be able to play at night!

Maybe it can still play a selective few, unless you install a very old windows version on it, but I have a STACK of PC games on my desk (near 100) and of the 20-30 that I tried to install and play last month, NONE OF THEM worked correctly. I had to find weird hacks or unofficial patches to get any of them to play, so…

Doesn't sell because of marketing? Doesn't sell because it has dated hardware, a gimmick controller, and only a few 1st party games that are good. Thats why it doesn't sell, because its not a good system. Blame poor marketing all you want, I am sure fans of the Virtual Boy blamed marketing too.

No, they are not willing to pay extra for it. They want everything, and they want it free of charge.

I am a huge Sony fanboy, but there is no way at this point in time, when both systems are selling out of all the stock they can make, that you can possibly guess at a 5:1 ratio. While I wish that were true, it does not make it so.

Actually this is why Sony removed PS2 support from the later models of PS3's, because "nobody plays PS2 games on the PS3 so its a waste of money" (paraphrased) and while that is very true for most of us, there is a loud enough minority that does utilize this feature (just look at the DLNA debacle). While I personally…
