Its coming free, you can use the Sony brand bluetooth sets out now, or anything else with a standard connection because its has a standardised jack...

I didnt even think of this reason. Touche.

That is the exact part that stuck out for me too. I was all "cool, free headset", the the standardised Jack made me all "cool, current headset". Big factor having it standardised.

The didnt "kill" the PS2 until the turn of this year. Ceased worldwide production January 2013. Sony dont treat their previous generations like that. Hell, the PSP is still being supported. Though yeah, the PS3 price drop, and the slim version, played huge factors in their recovery.

Worldwide, with their Xbox brand, I…

The only problem is, Sony arent going to make the same mistake twice. They are taking their current "consumer" based attitude of the last 3/4 years forward into the PS4. Sony had 250+ million console sales and consumer faith from the PS1 + 2, that gave them a bit of slack when they messed up.

Microsoft dont have that…

Thank you so very much for putting into words what I have been rambling about since their reveal. It is beyond satisfying to be able to read it and understand all the points.

I expect Sony to come out with all the positive that Microsoft have just reeled in. I can see them coming out with a statement along the lines of

These were policies that shouldn't have existed in the first place, they are future policies no doubt. A lot of what they were trying is with a major eye to the future and true digital gaming. However it being forced onto their customers was stupid, arrogant, and as has been said, lacking leadership. These changes…

Im from Ireland... my PSN is perfectly fine, all the FF's are available, there are over 250 games. What country are you in, because it isnt like that all over Europe.

You can be pretty sure Sony will have a big presence there too. They are doing everything in their power to have nothing but good press and good will amongst the customers. Though I would expect them to be showing more 3rd party and maybe a few 1st and 2nd party.

I think Sony has the advantage simply due to their…

Most people know Sony dont show off alot of their main IP's until the Tokyo Games Show. It makes sense since they are a Japanese company. All Microsoft proved is they were willing to show off more exclusives first. That also makes sense, because of 2 reasons. 1) They needed to do something to drum up positive press…

it has a touch screen and a touch pad at the back. They will find a workaround.

Look at the functionality of the WiiU tablet, essentially the same, as well as being able to stream your games to the Vita if for some reason the TV is occupied with something else. I imagine this will extend to most features on the PS4 like the WiiU.

The advantages over Smartglass is obvious, genuine tactile controls…

The PSN is ridiculously good for older games. Dont forget, they need publishers permission too. They cant just upload any game they want. There are literally hundred of PS1+2 games on PSN. Im more than happy with those numbers.

Erm... I thought it was pretty obvious that this was one of their major strategies going forward... They have been pushing it pretty strongly since the bought Gaikai. I fully expect the PSV to be exactly like the PSP. Mainly used to play older generation games through emulators and streaming, with the odd current game…

First off, don't ever be afraid to post your opinion, especially as a journalist.
Secondly, you were awesome on Spikes E3 show.

Third. I really dont mean any offence by this, however this isn't something that is particular to gaming, nor is it particular to women. Men are on the receiving end of this kind of behaviour a…

FF X isnt exactly being remade. Its a HD remaster. Essentially the exact same game but remastered with more up-to-date graphics and a few tweaks. FFVII is too old to go through the same process. To remake FFVII they would have to essentially start from scratch. Given that FFVII was an incomplete game, contains a huge…

Very good point, and I agree with it. Id have preferred to see a different location we havent seen in update graphics. But I get the impressive this video contains graphics that would be real time game graphics, whereas Advent Children is Rendered movie graphics.

The are, the new system with downloads works in blocks. So for example, you can start downloading the game, and once the first "level" or "block" is downloaded, you can start playing and it will continue downloading the rest of the game in the background. They are going for an "instant" gaming experience.

They make…

I knew I had seen it on here. I thought I was after confusing myself with everything I watched and read last week with E3.
