And it's still not selling. It's also not $399 - it's $499.01 and the promo code is emailed within 2 days of ship - so you basically are getting a free Forza game. Where are you getting $399?

It was $450 with a $50 promo code active this morning, the forza code is emailed later like you said

It doesn't give you balls, it removes the necessity of having them. No risk saying all the stupid shit you do on here.

Am I supposed to think that you touch little boys or something by that graphic, Column?

If someone walked up to me today and asked "Should I buy a PS4 or an XBox One?" My answer would be "neither" go buy a PS3 instead. Based solely on the games, currently, out for the two systems, neither one is really worth it right now. And realistically, neither will have all that great of a lineup until next year (though November usually brings some solid surprises to cash in on holiday sales). However, looking ahead, I'd say that the PS4 is the way to go. Spin away all you want but the XBone has software limitations that the PS4 and it's more difficult to code for. Beyond that, the PS4's exclusives are likely to be much better (Naughty Dog games and JRPGs for example).

I'm not sorry I got my PS4 at launch but I haven't touched it since finishing AC4 back in December. My PS3, on the other, hand is getting plenty of use. Between free Bioshock, Lightning Returns, Dark Souls 2 and Final Fantasy X HD Remaster, it's the only system I'm actually playing. Sony lost the early part of the generation war last time around but they learned a lot from their mistakes and ended the generation in an extremely strong position. Will Microsoft be able to replicate that? Possibly, but until they get some traction going, an XBone is not in my foreseeable future.

So you are thinking about touching little boys? You'll fit in fine on this board

Carry on

Much better for you. For a Xbro which is a console FPS person that Xbone library going forward is stronger.

Titanfall, COD, Halo 2 remake, New Halo, Gears of war.

FPS > on PC though - this is well established...

And out of all those games listed you can get 1 with Titanfall, and COD isn't even supported on the PC so no one even plays it.

Also you might want to to tell that to the Halo community which was as strong as any FPS on a PC.

FPS games have been in such a shitty place for a long time.. I'd argue the genre is just shit all-around no matter the platform.

Halo is the only real argument there and MAYBE CoD because of mass adoption versus best platform.

Rest are thriving on PC - while performing better on PC with more precise control.

So you confirmed my whole list them because Gears is an exclusive,

So when you say the rest you mean Titanfall...

I'm not sure on COD technically - but perhaps - but it's still a really small niche even if there was three dozen FPS. (Not to mention same MP focused titles in the same genre cannibalize the base from each other... COD loses people to Titanfall that will lose people to the next)

It's like saying early days PS3 was in a great place because it got all the RPGs. Another small niche.

COD has no support on the PC which means no competitive scene. Xbox is over a month ahead on there patches as well.

Doesn't matter if you like the game ,or not, COD is a Xbone game.
FPS? a small niche lulz. If the FPS's are small niche what are the big ones exactly.

Remember when COD games were actually decent?

I remember when allot of genres were decent.

Remember when MMO's were awesome?

Doesn't matter what we think, those genres are still popular.
