That’s literally all they had.
Just got it in a store here, they wanted around 1000 dollars for it, slightly less, for that price it just isnt good enough and might lack functionality I get with a same price pc

I thought I was this guy, the ps3 taught me I am not this guy. I bought it for DS, which was great and all, but otherwise, enjoyed almost nothing else other than bluray playback. I AM using it now at the end of its life, because of ps+ freebies, but I regretted the purchase. I know I would regret a xbone purchase. I likely will buy one once used units are under $100 though, and those few must have exclusives will still be there.
That said, Sony is doing jack shit to get me to buy the ps4 I know I will eventually buy. No games.
I’ve said this a hundred times already but the Kinect Sports game that was launched was yawn inducing and had little selling power. They need to get a full Decathlon game out to push kinect sales. One that is reminiscent of the old Epyx “Summer Games” where you can select your country, compete in all the events stand on a podium at the end. One that has stat tracking as well over multiple sessions. They NEED a killer kinect-only game to differentiate themselves from something Sony could do and they’ve had the answer all along and neglected it.
It is frustrating to see what they need, what would have gotten me to put an entire console on a credit card just to have, what would have gotten everyone in my family to buy a $500 Xbox One - and MS being too braindead to do it in the first place.
Anyone interested in traditional sports is now going to go with the PS4 since MLB The Show is so amazing and if you want to play Madden or NHL on console - why play it on an inferior machine?

I’m no fan of motion control, but the hype they tried to build around the kinect coming with the system was an obvious pile of bullshit when they did not have serious AAA titles with super amazing kinect features that would have made the ONE version the best way to play them, or, as a total ace, several AAA or even indie exclusives that just could not exist without Kinect. They expected an investment based on potential, right after spouting sheer bullshit regarding the cloud etc… It was such obvious BS that enough people caught on to not bother buying.
Nah. I mean sure, amongst the cognoscenti on gaming forums, but that’s not why the PS4 is so far ahead. The PS4 is ahead because it was $100 cheaper. Price is a huge, huge deal.
71 games available for purchase on the PS4 as of today, with 240 announced games. Of the 71 available, 25 have scored 80 or above on Metacritic. If that’s your definition of no games, then more power to you.
When most of those games are also available on other platforms, yes, that’s still my definition of “no games.”
The Xbone has the same problem, which is why Titanfall was never going to be its savior, even if it didn’t have the “multiplayer-only” issue; you can’t bank on a game that’s also available on a last-gen console and PC as your mega-hit “exclusive.”
Oh, I don’t know about that. If Titanfall was the Halo of its generation, it would do nicely.

This is very true. Kinect 2 should be awesome, and yet even now months after launch can anyone point to a single great game or experience for Kinect 2? They dropped the ball on that so hard.
And I AM a fan of motion control.
Can anyone point to a single great game that used kinect 1?
No, the only great motion control game is Wii Sports.
Rockstar’s pingpong game could be pretty cool with the greater precision on the kinect2. Doesn’t exist, though.

They took a pretty heavy handed anti-consumer stance. You don’t get to just brush that off and pretend it didn’t happen. Microsoft isn’t owed anything by the consumers they left behind. They might, might get an opportunity to win them back.
Skyrim used it for quick saving and shouts.
Edit -sorry, quoted Nesrie by mistake. Yay tapatalk.
Yeah, but with voice commands, not motion, which I think is an important distinction as the same could be achieved with a $20 peripheral.
You seem to be using a very strange definition of both “exclusives” and “did well” if you are including relative flops like Crackdown 2, Fables 3 and Gears of War Judgement while excluding games like Heavy Rain, God of War Ascension, Beyond: Two Souls, Gran Turismo 6, Ni No Kuni, Sly Cooper 4, Final Fantasy XIV all of which sold around as much as those. And that’s excluding a much longer list of more niche JRPGs that are considered successes based on their sales inside and outside of Japan. And there’s another list of Sony first party, big budget, swinging for the fences games that failed to find a big audience like Puppeteer, StarHawk, PlayStation Battle Royale, MotoStorm: Apocalypse, SOCOM 4, White Knight Chronicles 2, LBP: Karting, MAG and others. And then you add a nebulous list of Sony funded PSN exclusives that certainly seem to have been successful enough which includes Unfinished Swan, Rain, Sound Shapes, Tokyo Jungle, Guacamelee, etc. And then there are all the HD remakes from PS2.
Long story short, when people say Sony puts out more games than MS it’s because it’s true. You list is a nearly exhaustive list of every retail, non-Kinect game MS published in the last 3.5 years on 360. Your PS3 list is about 1/4th of what Sony published in the same time, not counting PSP, Vita and PS4 titles.
Toy Soldiers, State of Decay and Witcher 2 are not exclusive.
PC begs to differ.

Yeah, but who cares about pc games, or indie games, for that matter. Okay, sure, they have their fans, and most likely a disproportionate amount of them are here championing them as if they mattered, but they don’t.
Huh?!
