Anybody watching the broadcast of E3? (video games)

It's better than XBOX and it's $100 (retail at $399.00)CHEAPER!

HOLY YEAH! PS4 just won, period.

LeBron's face in 2K14 looked incredibly realistic, but his body was just weird.

The Order and Destiny look [dang] good.

I've got an Xbox, but man, PS4 looks like it's going to be a hell of a console.

The only probably reason I;m getting an XBOX is because of Ryse. Outside of that, I think PS4 pretty much beats it in any sense of fashion.

I liked Ryse as well.  The Last of Us seems interesting, too.

I have been an xbox guy since the first one came out. But Ps4 is really stepping up. I mean all the bells and whistles the Xbox one has is nice, but am i going to really use all of that? Plus i wouldn't have to pay for online anymore. IDK its gonna be a tough choice. Also 399 is a great price.

$100 cheaper. No DRM. It's OVAA! 4>1

Yep. Getting it Friday, not even going to see the new Superman movie because of it. It has Game of the Year written all over it. It's basically Uncharted and Silent Hill combined.

Sony completely took a dump on Microsoft's face in their Conference.

Loved it when the crowd went wild after it was said that it will support used games. From there it felt like, "that's it, game over XBOX".

Gonna watch everything tonight and during the next few weeks (so much to watch/read and not so much time!)

Can't wait to hear all about everything, and can't wait to first watch Microsoft try to right the ship after their massively disappointing unveiling, then Sony just KO them a few minutes later.

Soooooo looking forward to a good old Sega/Nintendo-style console wars

EPICNESS!!!

(ps.: GO SONY! )

I bet Microsoft backs off their used game and online only parameters. They kinda have to at this point, they've enjoyed a lead over Sony despite worse hardware and a pay to play online system. Sony is going to erase that unless Microsoft counters.

Kinda surprised that Sony backed off the blatant price fixing and blinked first.

[The4Time2Doctor0]

Sony smashed Microsoft. day one purchase. it really looks like Sony has returned to its former glory.

They XBOX was already down after Kingdom Hearts III was show. They got beat up more when that bombshell of an announcement where there are no restrictions on used games was announced. Then the $399 price tag was the Fatality.

Can't wait for Mirror's Edge 2.  The first one was so good because the gameplay was so different and refreshing.

I'm definitely going back to Sony for this generation.  But man, whatever happened to just throwing a cartridge into a slot, pushing the power button on and calling it a day?

[JOMVP]

That was definitely interesting. I was almost positive that Sony was going to announce the PS4 was going to have the same disc policies. Microsoft had to have had some push from developers for them to implement the system that they did. Microsoft isn't making any money off of it, so it wouldn't make sense for them with all this community push back.

So a few thoughts from that. Microsoft got exclusive content for CoD and Battlefield 4. Those two games are the huge money makers in the game today, perhaps it was those two developers that pushed Microsoft towards this and in return they get that exclusive content.

Also, if other developers see that the Xbox would make them more money to develop for them because of these disc policies, you possibly could see a shift in a bunch of exclusive developer rights headed to the Xbox which could hurt the PS4 in the long run. Just a thought.

My real reaction to all of this is I think Microsoft back tracks on this DRM and their disc policies a bit. The kind of backlash they are receiving right now in the gaming community is the kind of stuff you see companies go under for. Specially in a business that is so driven by consumer loyalty. I think they get rid of the DRM, let people do whatever they want with the game they purchased but have some sort of activation fee in place for used games so the developers can get a piece of the pie. They could easily work with Gamestop to assign different priced authorization keys depending on how old the game is. Older games would be cheaper to activate. Everyone wins.

COD and Battlefield 4 aren't for Xbox exclusively right? The PS4 page on Sony's website shows both as upcoming games.
