In my eyes, this is how a monolith like Microsoft *does* die though. Not entirely, I mean of course they still exist and sell products/develop technology & software but let's face it - once you're recognized as a near trump card in several different fields for so long as an easily recognizable elite logo and top tier brand/product technology, it's a slow ride down to the depths of completely falling out. But this is not looking good for maintaining such a behemoth of long timed success. Microsoft isn't now and hasn't been for a long time what it used to be and doesn't mean the same things for the industry that it used to.
There's nothing wrong with Microsoft that getting rid of Ballmer wouldn't fix. Windows Phone 8 sucked so much Apple just ripped off the UI (but with more colors) for IOS 7. My current laptop is Windows 8 and it's a lot cleaner than 7 or XP, the only fucking problem is the fact you have to double click to get into/out of the desktop, which will get fixed in 8.1. As for Xbone v. PS4. Somewhere around 1/3 of the people dissing the Xbox on this thread right now will end up getting one in the next two years if I know anything about gamers. I mean wtf are you going to do when you've got a lot of extra money and there's an exclusive on the xbone you want to play? Not play it because of some personal jihad against MS?

And it's all for the good, because if there is no Xboxtwo to compete against the PS5 eight years down the line, Sony will completely screw every console owner over as MS tried to do this time around.

I'll get a PS4 whenever there's enough titles out there - I never understood the must buy new console immediately fever.

Kotaku has it sold separately for $59. So you still save money on the PS4 even if you get the eye.

PC gaming is just getting better and better, but if I was going to buy a console today, the PS4 wins hands down.

Was I the only one underwhelmed by PS4 exclusive titles?

It feels like PS3 launch all over again where if I recall correctly the hardware was better but the games were sparse.

Even developers are jumping in on declaring it over for XBOne already.
