So, this presentation wasn't meant for the average gaming consumer? Excellent marketing, then, as they showed only the parts that sucked about their gaming strategy. Hopefully E3 will be better, but I'm betting it won't be. If it is, I'll gladly eat my words.

It was for the 'average gaming consumer'.

What are the biggest gaming franchises that the majority of gamers care about?

Fifa, Madden, Call of Duty, and Halo, all of which were represented at this conference.

The people on this forum aren't 'average gaming consumers'.

Considering Sony has yet to be able to show us how the fuck the PS4 will even look, and has managed a "lol-facebook" button.. I dont see what all the hate for the X1 is. Sure, some more relevant GAMING info would be nice, but its not like the PS4 "information" was any better then this shitty presentation.

Both side have yet to give any real information for me to decide what to buy first (we all know us geeks will get both in the end for just that one exclusive we cant live without).

Was not impressed at all by that Ghosts trailer, looked like a run of the mill CoD even on a new system. During the individual comparison views of the arms/landscape, that was impressive, I'll give them that. However, during that fast paced trailer and if no one told me, I would have assumed it was a Xbox 360 trailer. Anyways, cool that Xbox One has CoD on it's side, but MW2 and earlier CoD games are the only ones I could stomach.

Yeah, I'll pass if there's a 'used game pass'.

Good luck, Microsoft.

Did you even read the article?

But PlayStation 4, for all we know, might function just like the Xbox One does when it comes to your game discs. Nobody wants to say yet because they believe that the response will focus too hard on what game buyers are losing - the unfettered ability to rent, lend, and resell discs. What Microsoft and Sony need to sell is the idea that restrictions on used games are a byproduct of efforts to improve the gaming experience, either with online connections or disc-free installs.

And there's one area in which Sony and Microsoft are in perfect harmony: Neither of their new machines are backward compatible with their current ones.

The game makers hate used game sales and rentals, Sony is going to have to follow suit if they want cross platform titles. Seems foolish to think Microsoft would do something Sony wouldn't in that regard.

I can't tell if you guys are serious or not if you think both systems won't have awesome games. Xbox already displayed it will take games from multiplatform to exclusive with FIFA and making some game come out first on its system rather than both at ones I.e. cod. I'm not sure how cheap you fuckers are but not like getting both is hard unless you work at McDonald's or Pizza Hut.

Both systems look awesome, neither system showed people playing the games, so until e3 you should stop the leaky vags.

FIFA is not an exclusive.Someof the "Ultimate Team"feature'scontent is exclusive. EA's not stupid enough to make a Soccer franchise exclusive to the Xbox.

Fifa will NOT be a Microsoft exclusive. Fifa "Ultimate Team" (whatever the fuck that is) will be however. It's got too much global appeal to put all of their eggs in one American basket.

**EDIT** Beaten to it.

You're right, most 'average gaming consumers' were busy not watching this presentation and probably won't even hear about it. All they're going to see is an expensive new box that looks terrible and has an awful name. OH AND HEY GAMES THAT ARE ON PC AND PS4 AS WELL.

And I'll pass on the PS4 if that's the case. I don't have any allegiance towards Microsoft or Sony.

I'm with you, but the Sony homers in this thread are doubling down. I have no loyalty either way so we'll just see how the dust settles.

They'll hear about it tomorrow in the news/on television, they'll see the adverts that will be online everywhere, and they'll hear about it from all of their friends. And do you know what they'll be saying? "Did you see Call of Duty on the new Xbox?!?!?".

COD is already associated with the Xbox, as shown by the 360 version consistently outselling the PS3 version. By showing off COD at their conference, Microsoft has ensured that this association will carry over into next gen.

Ok, understood, but what about the other part? It may not seem big to you but cod first on Xbox Is a lot of sales Xbox will get over Sony. How is it possible that Sony could not stop that from happening considering the following that game has. What game can Sony offer to compete for the holiday rush? Please don't say killzone or infamous.

I'm not hating on Sony since i will get both but the disputes in thread ATM are pretty dumb. Xbox will be Xbox and Sony will be Sony just like it is in current gen, however if ms pulls this cod stunt with other big titles it will fuck Sony over.
