I don't know how old anyone is on IGN or any website unless it is public knowledge. I can only tell you based on what I've seen. It's prominent on Twitter as well, and most of those people appear to be adults.

There is a lot of "no shit" and "no duh" in this thread with a sprinkle of "Thank you, Capt. Obvious"

Adult maybe, but only on the outside.

That's the "updated hourly" list, which can be misleading because it's driven so much by availability. The one you want is the "Bestsellers of 2013" list. On that one:

PS4: #3 (launch ed), #51 (standard ed), controller at #81 and bundles at #84 and #99

XB1: Day one edition is #6, and I don't see any other SKUs or the controller

Thought I would toss this in here as well as in the Xbox Deals forum....eBay has cheap 12 month xbox live via newegg...just snagged one.

EDIT: Looks like they all sold out in a few minutes :(

You could always post how they are giving away 1 Xbox One a day at the Comic Con? in San Diego and we ain't there! :mad:

I'm here, but I am not there. I'm having a hard enough time trying to get my friends working there/going all 4 days to get me the two exclusive LEGO sets. Shit sells out every morning in like 10 minutes, I couldn't imagine trying to get the 1 XBOX a day.

OT but what Lego sets?

They have mini Hobbit and mini Star Wars sets this year, limited to 1000 each I believe.

Both friends struck out again today, one of them is showing up at 4am tomorrow so hopefully he will have better luck.

Looks like reports from Comic Con on the XBOX vs the PS4 are about what I was expecting in regards to the launch lineups for both systems. PS4 really doesn't have anything interesting announced or launching with their system, whereas XBOX has quite a bit. Killer Instinct and Ryse are impressing gamers, while Knack and Drive Club are not as much, mainly due to Knack looking like a kiddie PS3 title. I'm sure Octodad is the highlight of the PS4 games, and that game was awesome!

I've thought all along that Dead Rising, Killer Instinct, Forza, Kinect Sports and Ryse would shit all over Drive Club, Killzone and Knack, and it looks like a good chunk of Comic Con agrees so far.

IGN wrote a post about it. I'm on my iPhone, so I don't have the link, but if you Google "Xbox One Comic Con," the IGN write up should be one of the top results.

When you read the IGN piece and other write ups by Googling that phrase, you'll see nothing but praise coming from their event.

Who would've thought that firing Don Mattrick would've allowed the console to do a 180?

Comic Con, not E3...and yeah I think one of the articles was from IGN. There's quite a few actually. My main point was the exclusive lineups for both systems, and the fact that MS's seems much stronger.

MS has announced that they have "15 exclusives and 8 new IP in the first year". These are the 16 announced and published by Microsoft Studios:
  1. LocoCycle
  2. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition
  3. Project Spark
  4. Zoo Tycoon
  5. Below
  6. Crimson Dragon
  7. Dead Rising 3
  8. D4
  9. Forza Motorsport 5
  10. Halo something
  11. Killer Instinct
  12. Kinect Sports Rivals
  13. Powerstar Golf
  14. Quantum Break
  15. Ryse: Son of Rome
  16. Sunset Overdrive

Meanwhile, Sony has announced that they have "20 exclusives and 12 new IP in the first year". Of those, they have actually announced five published by Sony Computer Entertainment:
  1. Killzone
  2. Knack
  3. Driveclub
  4. The Order
  5. Infamous: Second Son

It doesn't look like MS has many surprises left, but Sony is on their own PR plan, and I would bet that they will announce much more at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, as Europe and Japan are really Sony's home turf.

It's a list of shit... on both sides. The games announced for release on both consoles are the ones I'm truly excited about. As of now? Dead Rising 3, Halo 5, Quantum Break, and Sunset Overdrive are the only exclusives that peak any of my interest...

...but then I remember I got burned by Dead Rising 2 and Halo 4. And I just go back to waiting for games like Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Kingdom Hearts 3, etc.

I was not speaking about which games either side have announced thus far for the future, but launch titles only. MS clearly has the stronger launch title exclusives. That is all I was getting at.

Strangely enough, discostu, I couldn't find the article in IGN about how the XO titles shat all over the PS4 ones. I did find a video clip where two IGN editors moan for four minutes about how Ryse is still just a bunch of quick-time events and while it's beautiful, it's not fun to play. You must have missed that (though if it were a PS4 title they were complaining about, something tells me you might have caught it).

I found one article from a site called techradar that is the worst and might be what these guys are talking about. It's one of those "here's what this one dude says, and he clearly represents everybody" articles.

http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming...hrough-1167234

So yeah. Xbox shits on Playstation. :lol:

Here's another video discussing everything that was playable in a fairly evenhanded way, and even they openly wonder why Sony didn't choose Killzone or Infamous to show.

But to the question at hand "Will Xbox exclusives shit on Playstation exclusives"? Not even close since 2007, and they simply don't have the studios to make it happen.

Frankly, games at Comic-Con are about as important as Sci-Fi shows and movies at E3. I've read articles on the coverage from Gamespot, Games Radar, Gameinformer, IGN, and Kataku and most are about current & upcoming sci-fi movies/shows, the most popular character costumes, comics and with gaming at the bottom.

The real treat for gamers of both systems will be Gamescon (Europe) and Toyko Game Show. I'm sure we'll see more surprises from Sony and MS. In fact the head of Sony Europe has stated that Sony didn't show off everything at E3 and more surprises are going to be unvealed at Gamescon. No doubt MS will to.

In terms of which has the better games...honestly, everyone probably has their sights on Watchdogs, BF4, COD:Ghosts and might even add AC:Black Flag in the mix. I think lot of gamers were hoping though that The Divison would be released earlier than Qtr4....me included.

Gamescon will be where shit hits the fan as that's when all the final details will come to light. There's various other gaming conventions prior to the consoles' launch like the GameStop Expo that will have both the One and PS4 on display for consumers to test out. The Tokyo Game Show will be lackluster as MS has pretty much pulled out of the Japanese market at this point. I don't blame them as the 360 failed to take off there.

Q4 is already crowded as it is and I'd rather have games I want to purchase on day one like The Division and Titanfall to come out over 2014 where I can actually devote some time to play them.

Both have good games. Duh!

It's just that some people like some games better than others. Double duh!

Too hard not to be a fanboy, right?

I have an Xbox One preordered, since the first day, yes, I'm a believer, and Ryse sounds like the most boring thing since... ever. Not planning to get that game, unless it receives a perfect 10 or something like that ;)

For release I will probably get FIFA 14 and a shooter. Yeah.
