I thought it was more to do with Sony funding SFV that's kept it off competing consoles?

I mean of course, it's a minefield trying to wade through corporate PR...

 

It is a minefield, but something like cross-play would require the close gameplay/development purpose they speak of. It's not required for the game to be made. Capcom can make SF games in their sleep.

Well, this could be a ruse :p

I don't see the logic in it. Sony are hardly flush.

 

Well yes, I probably have more money than them in my wallet right now... And I'm sure it's only coppers :p Maybe a little silver.

was hoping for a PS3 price cut LOL.

Now that you mention it I was expecting that as well. Or more specifically I was expecting them to announce the 1TB PS4 at $400 and cut the current 500GB version to $350 until inventory was gone.

I may have just missed it but I haven't seen anything official about a 1TB PS4 yet.

I was impressed by MS conference, but not blown away like they were hyping.

For me the single biggest announcement has been the Xbox One backwards compatibility but I wouldn't say the whole MS keynote was great.

For some reason the hype before the conference lead me to believe there would be A LOT more Win10/DX12 PC stuff than what we got and the lack of that was equally disappointing to me as the lack of Project Morpheus info at the Sony keynote.

I do think HoloLens is super freaking cool though but that doesn't have anything to do with consoles so I don't really see that as part of the Xbox vs. PlayStation fan war.

Sony likes to keep their price cut news for GamesCom historically. They'll probably do it at Paris Game Week instead seeing as they're skipping GC.

Don't think it'll ever happen. For once the PS3 goes for less than a third of what it used to, and also it still sells like it was 2006 (probably better at that lol). I mean it's still pretty huge in Europe, pretty sure that where I live (Greece) it outsells the PS4 and xbone (definitely the xbone). Hell, if my PS3 broke after the warranty expired I'd almost certainly get another one cause there's so many games to play and you can buy them for peanuts. definitely too early to get a PS4 IMO

Thanks to the CELL I don't think it'll ever get really cheap.

Pro COD is played on xbox and MS put millions in the prize pool for MLG\COD Champs.

 

Activision care about money, the PS4 is almost 2:1 of the Xbox, Activision made a choice. This isn't MS' fault, well, unless you want to say well done MS the Xbox One sales aren't good enough. Rabid COD fanboys should direct anger at Activision.

 

The sane Xbox COD fans will realize just like sane PS4 fans for years, they're still getting to play their beloved game. Pro tournaments will just have to shift, and I bet all these crybabies happily switch when money and internet cred is up for grabs. Or you know, pro tournaments can just wait a few weeks and stay Xbox.

 

Timed DLC is ridiculously stupid, but this is Activision, if you want to sleep in their bed with the COD franchise you gotta realize one camp is getting screwed each time, and your turn will always come around at some point.

 

This isn't a 1st party Xbox title, it's 3rd party.

 It's the pro scene that is crying and tournament organizers. Which this move might hurt their pocket book. Also for console fps pro players prefer xbox controllers over ps controllers.  Microsoft has been putting tons of money into Esports and Sony has not.

 

Waiting a month extra isn't a big deal.

So you agree with me then, bitch at Activision. I don't think for a second anyone is going to think Sony can like for like outbid MS, they can't. So Activision either chose install base or MS didn't care enough to even foot the bare minimum amount Sony could afford. I guess if it's MS that didn't care about these precious tournaments and e-sports they've to put in your words, put tons of money into, then yeah, bitch at them I guess. I think that's a bit unlikely, if MS are understood to be as pro-COD as people make out. Activision simply makes their own decisions and have no allegiance other than backing the biggest install base.

 

Anyway, here's an interview from Adam Boyes

MS does care about Esports, they have been putting millions in MCC tournament scene and halo5 will be their new focus. Teaming up with ESL and putting money into MKX and KI3.

 

MLG and other TO are scared that MS is going to pull thier support.

 

"Bttch at Activision"  that's what the scene is doing.....The scene simply doesn't want to be force to play on ps4.

Yeah... bitch at Activision for timed exclusive DLC practices, but absolutely no one, them included, are forcing anyone to play on PS4. No one was forced to play on 360, unless your argument you're making now applies to what happened last generation as well. As I said above, this is not a 1st party title, MS do not own it. MS can do what they want at esports events with their 1st party stuff, but it doesn't matter how much money they put into the events, that doesn't give them reigns over 3rd party titles.

I guess you don't get it. It's not about DLC.....Pro players are being force to play on a console they don't want to play on. Cod champs will be moving to ps4.

No, I don't think you do. No one is forcing anyone to play on any platform. There are pro PS4 players you know? Tournaments do not have a monopoly on Xbox only, and professional players do not all play on Xbox. Everyone survived in the PS3 and 360 days, everyone will now. So the only valid thing to bitch about is timed exclusivity on DLC.

WOW Really.....You keep on bringing up DLC. When it's about the Tournaments(COD Champs) being only held on ps4.

 

Majority of console FPS pro scene are xbox players. I'm sure pro players will make the move to ps4 if they have to.But i can also see why people are bitching and why tournament organizer like MLG are bitching about it.
