That is very true, and one of the things I want to find out about. I have been given permission to get both consoles at launch, but I really don't know if I want to do that. I could use some of the money for the second console towards getting a bunch of launch games.
That was my favorite moment in the Joe/Major Nelson interview :
Joe "What about the 24h check in, it would be easy to turn that off"
Nelson "REALLY? ARE YOU ON THE DEV TEAM?"
HAHAHA anyone with a brain knows that it's just an artificial setting that could be turned off with ease. Same deal with the 'activation' for each game/etc.
As much as MS has been pissing me off, and XBone looks like a huge fail to me, I *DO* think they'll patch it out down the line. That's going to be the first day I actually consider the XB1. When I know I'm not on a timer to play my games, or tied to paying for XBL when I don't GAF about playing MP on console at all.
I can think of a bunch of reasons to get a console, and most of them have to do with the Sony exclusives that you never get on PC.
As a heavy PS3 gamer I can say without any hesitation that there are no games Sony has exclusive rights to that are worth paying hundreds, hell thousands when you include my wife and kids, of dollars to play. Quite frankly, I think I am just to the point where I am going to stick with PC for awhile until these stupid console companies pull their heads out of their collective asses and stop pretending like they're offering something a PC doesn't.
good luck finding uncharted, the last of us, ratchet and clank, resistance, motorstorm, hot shots golf, and killzone on pc.
Today, tomorrow, 20 years from now, it doesn't matter: thousands of dollars in games with no resell value have a potential to go poof without the owners permission.
Lol, it was a joke. She did ask me this weekend if I am wanting both and I told her I wanted the PS4 for sure, and I would keep an open mind on the xbox, but since my xbox friends aren't moving on right away I wasn't in a rush. She told me it would be ok if I got both at launch. But, I just don't know if I will. That's a lot of money that I can A)use to buy my kids even more shit for christmas B) buy a few launch titles for the PS4. I will probably go this route, but it's nice to know that I have the option.Why do we always need permission??
I'm sticking with current gen for at least a few months after launch of PS4/XB1. Any launch system I've had has been coupled with weak launch games. No point in rushing out to get the new system in my opinion (unless looking to resell).
Can you still play Halo and Halo 2 online on original Xbox?

As if I would miss any of them. Sony is already giving away Uncharted 3 because it was such a letdown, the online was pathetic, and Killzone hasn't been good since KZ2 got ruined by cheaters. I assume you are just trolling with the hot shots gold and ratchet and clank references, but the entirety of your list just proves what an absolute sham console "exclusives" really are.
The real truth is that I am telling the truth for anyone that wants to listen.
For the same amount you will spend on your PSbox, and annual online fees, you could build a computer capable of so much more that could still play the same games....probably at a higher resolution.
The only really surprise with anything I am saying is that nobody in the media has bothered pointing it out, which only once again proves the gaming (and overall) media is nothing more than a glorified advertising agency.

no ... it can't, and i just gave you a huge list of games it can't play.
just goes to show how clueless you are about the console world if you think people dont like uncharted, killzone, and ratchet and clank games.
the real truth is that you are just trolling.
Why throw out the baby with the bath water? I still play all my systems pretty equally, going back to the SNES. I'll stick with my 360 until I burn with desire for some new game.
The launch window (until March 2014) lineup on the PS4 looks very weak, so I think I'll put off getting that. I'll probably get the PS4 mid to late 2014, if there are some decent exclusives on there.
Now with the PS4 being x86, I am wondering if more games will be on PC as well. MGSV is supposedly coming to PC. I've heard rumors of FFXV and KH3 coming to PC as well. If so, maybe I won't need a PS4 at all?
I already have a Wii U, and it is getting a bunch of games this holiday season+spring 2014. If the Wii U has a price drop soon, which I would expect since $360 is too close to the $400 PS4, then it may be a good console to pick up.
Few games on either system interest me, however there are more on the Xbox that do, but no, not going there. Considering I can't keep up with the games I have as it is, there is no rush.
Real gamers DO go back and play their back catalog of games on systems they never go to. If you think otherwise your first system was last gen or you aren't a real gamer.
