[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 48348, member: 1196"] First bold: Dude, I hear you. I'm so sick of that crap. All the best games, excuse me, all the games that[I] I [/I]enjoy, are either PS3 exclusive, Xbox exclusive, or Console exclusive (means no PC version). I won't get into a list as it's too long, but let me just put it this way. There's 4 games I'm interested in this year before the next gen starts. Metal Gear Rising, Anarchy Reigns, DoDonPachi Sai Ou Jou, and Gears of War Judgement. None of these are on PC. Second bold: That's not true. 360 came out in 2005, a full year before PS3, and had tons of support. Many of the 360 launch games and 2006 games got eventual PS3 ports (Fight Night Rnd 2, Ridge Racer 6, Full Auto etc.) while the system had plenty of 1st and 3rd party exclusives that first year (Chromehounds, Dead or Alive 4, Dead Rising, Kameo, Call of Duty 2, Gears etc.). And keep in mind that was a completely different playing field. Microsoft was a distant 2nd coming into this current gen, with nowhere near the momentum they have now. They are now in a first place position (Wii is irrelevant now). If Sony gives up another year head start this time, they are in big trouble. That's why they won't (expect a Q2 2014 PS4 release). Third bold: If Sony waited till 2015... actually, that might not be a bad idea. While I just said giving up a year headstart is death for them, waiting 2 years and launching much better hardware could be a game changer, or it could mean death. That's a gamble, but I like how you're thinking. Fourth Bold: without question, MS is looking towards the future. They recognize that they have the iPhone of the television screen. That's what Xbox has become, for better or worse. Tons of apps, games, messaging, hell with a Kinect it's even a touch-like interface. [/QUOTE]
