less than 30 minutes for Nintendo Direct. hopefully it's good ><
I think he's right, it's actually normal for the console itself to lose money, which is made up on licensed game/peripheral sales.
I'm certain that Sony will be losing more than MS on the consoles, I think they took a very ballsy gamble to try to get their system into many more houses first and recoup everything on having the greatest share of holiday game sales.
I also unfortunately think this means that if we do see some sort if flexible pricing structures on digital games, it definitely won't be early on; there's real potential in that area for MS to claw their way back into things.
glad i got up early then didn't think anything was streaming until later
do we have a vote for post E3 day 1?I wonder, I feel like this board has always been a 50/50 split with the ps3/360
Unless MS completely flip-flops on the DRM, they won't be clawing at anything but WiiU's marketshare.
Although I'm no fan of Sony's history, the conference last night was pretty fun to watch. If I were to get a PS4, I've just never been sold on the feel of their controller but that's something I could get used to. The real question though for me is if it will be good enough -- not compared to the xbox -- but against PC gaming in general.
I think it might be too late to go back on the DRM since this system seems like something they would have develop infrastructure for. However, if they bit the bullet and worked out some Steam-style fire sales and flexible pricing, DRM would be much less of an issue either way. I don't know if it's too late for them to undo the 24-hour check-in, but it's pretty imperative they work it out.
Come on Nintendo, remember your goal is not #1, just to please your customers
Don't fail us
I could probably swallow $350-400 pending what other exclusives they get; I actually really liked several of the games they showed, DR3/Titanfall both looked awesome imo, but yeah I'd definitely give it at least a year or two.
Considering I don't care for FPS games it's a pretty easy choice for me...
Oh god 1min30
anyone have a link to Nintendo direct?
