I really don't care for the UI sounds... sounds weak to me... I would rather have a click or something. 
I wonder if you can arrange the tiles how you want to, or if you are stuck with just the single horizontal line... not a big deal, since the 360's game section is like that as well... just gets more cumbersome with the more games you have.

I absolutely do love that you can watch a friends game from the UI to see what is going on prior to joining.

I think the more pressing question is whether third party games will support the kind of super-convenient drop in and drop out that is shown in the video above.

PS: I hate that our avatars are so similar in colour (on my monitor, anyway) and both have a large flying object in them.

Hold on a sec...
Sony, a Japanese company, isn't even releasing their console in Japan in November??
Didn't Microsoft get shit on by pretty much everyone for flat-out saying that Japan wasn't in their initial launch window?
What the shit?
Sure, Sony has 32 countries (to MS's 13 or whatever), but... no Japan? Really?

In the days of the NES, Nintendo required exclusivity. In order to get the game certified by Nintendo, it had to be made only for the NES. This is why the Sega Master System failed...well that and it just wasn't very good.
Publishers fought back when the Genesis came out, and Nintendo had to back down in its stance for the SNES.

Nintendo restricted their licensees to releasing only five games per year, and required their games to be NES-exclusive for two years.

You truly are insane if you think this is true. Killzone can maybe outsell Ryse or at least come close. The other two will destroy it. Outsell all 3 combined? That's impossible. Killzone is a B-C grade shooter like Resistance. PS4 owners will choose CoD and BF4 every single time.

One might say he's... irrational.



Seriously, though. Japan!

The UI is still cumbersome and the messaging/chat areas are still multiple clicks away, buried in numerous submenus. They really need to ripoff the Xbox 1-2 button presses to message friends and join games/parties.

In contrast, MS is on defense in the NA and British markets and isn't even competing in Japan or a large chunk of Europe.

And 32 vs 13 won't matter to whoever wins in the USA this holiday season.
You truly are insane if you think this is true. Killzone can maybe outsell Ryse or at least come close. The other two will destroy it. Outsell all 3 combined? That's impossible. Killzone is a B-C grade shooter like Resistance. PS4 owners will choose CoD and BF4 every single time.
The Xbox 360 version of the new CoD game will outsell all four (KZ and the 3 from the XO) I say.


I'm not sure if I'm the only one that thinks discostu was trolling the PS4 fans there.

The last Forza sold about 1.5M in a huge install base. DR2 sold 1.3M on 360, again on a huge install base. Ryse is an unknown commodity that frankly doesn't look that great. Killzone 2 and 3 averaged 2.7M, and PS4 will have a much larger install base than X1, at least early in this generation.
At a minimum, it will outsell any two of the three, and given the install bases over the short term, probably all 3.
I will give you the fact that there are a lot of shooter options this fall...too many, and I'm not buying any of them unless BF4 blows people away.
