Read any comments section for any article on any website. Instead of being 100% anti-MS, people are getting sick of some of the stuff Sony is doing and/or not doing. MS on the other hand is keeping things fresh and releasing lots of good videos and info almost daily.

Considering they a) didn't have to backpedal on 3/4 of their plans and b) haven't done much besides announced a release date and showed a few games...I'm not sure what people are getting "sick" of.

Knowing when they can buy their consoles? Not having to figure out if there is room in their closets for a mandatory $100 camera?

Believe what you want, but MS will almost certainly take first place again the generation, and thankfully for Nintendo shooting themselves, Sony will hold on to second. Once the consoles launch and are out for a while, people will see that the Xbox has a lot more to offer in the long run, despite early "mistakes". I still believe that playing BluRay was the main reason the PS3 sold probably half of their units, and now that is no longer in their favor.

I'm officially done arguing about which system is better etc etc etc and will only post relevant information. You and chess (still sure you guys are the same) can continue to get super excited about F2P PC ports and budget indie titles ;)

I wasn't there for it, but MS and Sony did two presentations at the GameStop Expo. From what I heard:

Major Nelson came out for the MS presentation, handed out two mics, and asked the group what did they want to know about the One. No bullshit, straight up Q&A.

Sony's was a glorified highlight reel where it was non-stop videos.

One could argue there are more questions about the One. I think Sony has done a great job of saying "here's our console, here's the price, here's when it comes out, here are some games."

Point being, people hear what they want to hear. We chose to hear two different messages this summer and there's nothing wrong with that. :shrug: You enjoy your box and I'll enjoy mine. But to come in with doom and gloom "the tide is turning" and "people are disappointed about PS4" without a shred of evidence is just silly. The only reason why it seems the tide is turning is because X1 was dead in the water six weeks ago. Now it's slightly less so.

Off screen Ryse: Son of Rome footage from PAX this weekend.

Needless to say, Matt loved it, and I'm probably not the best person to assess X1 games, but I'd love to hear somebody else's assessment, because it looks like an absolute train wreck to me.

The hit detection is just...and I think they want you to push A.

It really comes down to Sony being too cocky and thinking they already won mixed with the fact that they still have nothing of real interest announced. Heck, they still don't have things running on retail kits (unless PAX changed that) whereas MS does despite their made up reports of console manufacturing problems and them not being ready to ship.

Agreed for the most part, the idea that people are disappointed in the PS4 is ridiculous hyperbole. The tide is far from turning as far as the One leading the way anytime soon this launch, but I do get the impression that more then a few people are starting to warm to some of the One's features. I do think they're doing better then just "less slightly" above being dead in the water though.

Yeah, it looks like they still have some work to do on it and they need to get rid of the stupid A button that is on the screen the entire time for objectives.

I was surprised that he was more enamored with the Xbox One, but mainly because of the TV/Cable intergration with the system. A feature I'm not really psyched for, as I don't see myself turning the Xbox One on every time I just want to watch TV. He did say that the switching between playing a game, exiting to watch TV, then going back to the game was really seamless, and fast. The other standouts for him were Watch Dogs, and Dead Rising 3 which he says looked amazing.

I still currently have a pre-order on both systems, but can only grab one at launch. I wish I knew the release date of the Xbox One, although I don't know that a week or two earlier/later would make a difference.

Ryse looks like a good game at about $10 a year after launch to play, or a rental at best.
