[quote]Sony's share price has surged more than 8% since Microsoft's Xbox One reveal as investors reacted negatively to Microsoft's next console while welcoming further streamlining efforts in the PlayStation 4 maker.
At the time of press Sony's stock had jumped 8.8% on the NYSE to $22.82. The company saw an 11% jump in share price following the PlayStation 4's announcement event in February.
It's unclear why the jump occured though Microsoft's focus on entertainment and connectivity options over games - most of which will be announced at E3 - may have provoked the surge. It has also been reported that layoffs have hit Sony Japan though it's currently unclear if Sony Computer Entertainment has been affected.[/quote]
I wonder if this gen will be owned by sony. Seems like it so far.

Bingo. We want proper games and solid online play, not flimsy "entertainment/social connectivity" bullshit.
Cue popups in every FPS
"Hey you just made your first kill! Share on facebook/twitter :))))))))"
"Nice headshot! Upload scrrenshot to instagram? =D"
Though Sony isn't much better to be honest, putting an actual "Share" button on the controller.

By having the share button on the controller you can effectively choose when you do want it to be on, youre completely in control of the sharing features

Your still in control on the xbox. Regardless thats not the point, the point is choosing to work on these features rather than improving stuff we actually care about.
Lol RIP Microsoft's Xbox department, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last one they ever made.
but i want to play HALO
Is anyone surprised?
Me neither.
I think the mistake they made was that they saved ALL of the games we care about for E3. We have this conference and the games we get are, what, CoD? Sports? We don't care about these, but that's how they had it. Obviously we're gonna get more games by E3, but by then I doubt anyone's gonna care.

Also removes all the seperately implanted share features from different games and combines them into one easy-to-ignore button!
Why do they call it the Xbox One?
Because when you see it you do a one and walk away.
So, we all know who wins the next gen console wars. It sure ain't Microsoft with it's Crapbox.
But I really want Forza 5 ;.;
BUt I really don't want an Xbox One ;.;

It'll be a while before GT7 comes out though.
My prediction is:
Everything is shit.
Playstation will be shit. Xbox will be shit. WiiU, shit.
2013, the glorious year of shit.
Obligatory PC master race. These companies have been shitting all over what made consoles great compared to the PC. Why the fuck would I want a social network on my console when I have a fucking computer god damnit fucking shit fuck consoles all it is now is making the most money as possible, who the fuck would ever be okay with ads on a console, stop letting them fuck your asshole so hard.

Well they'd have to launch GT6 first :haw:
Which apparently will be launched for the PS3 first, and then later launched for the PS4

No due to the switch to x86

They'll do some streaming kind of stuff, though - you probably won't be able to play every PS3 game, though.
Heh, let's hope they won't pull an xbox one and fill the damn black box with motion sensors and voice command and stuff too.
I for one didn't like how they marketed the xb1 it as a definitive multimedia platform all-in-one tv thing, all people want from consolles is simplicity and the ability to play games carefree of hardware upgrades and stuff a pc requires every other year.

How is this a bad thing? Assuming it's not in your face during gaming and don't affect performance (which historically on the xbox have never been problems) then extra options are only a good thing. You guys act like having skype or facebook integration on the console will immediately make the gaming worse which is several hundred levels of retarded. They can easily just have the apps for that developed by a separate team and not have it affect the console at all.
[QUOTE=deggie;40730634]ps3 games will work for ps4 right[/QUOTE]
They were working on making this possible with a cloud gaming service.
Since the PS3 isn't x86 based it must be done either through cloud gaming (streaming) or emulation.

Because Xbox has come out and said that they are going to have twitter pop ups during your game...
You and Demoguy08 are completely speculating on something that is probably not even close to factual.
xbox one, more like
xbox lost.
I think marketing selected one because it sounds like won and if you replace the o with an i you get win.. windows. I heard that the people who were developing the console had no idea what the name will be even until it was released at 10am pacific.
What probably is hurting the stocks is partly due to programs selling stock instead of people, where "locked to user" probably was flagged as bad after rumors of sony having that same instance.
Watch this, this explains everything
