If Kinect is used sensibly, then integration should be seamless with 'core' gaming (see ME3 and GRAW2 for examples), which means it can only improve has we interact with games. Developers have been less than keen to use it so far probably due to the relatively low take up rate of Kinect, however since every XB1 will come with this tech then why not include it? After all, it may just make your title stand out from the others if you get it right.

I struggle to see much of a benefit of the PS Eye to core games, but we shall see. Since the original PS Eye was such a complete failure, it remains to be seen if Sony can convince developers to do anything with it.


If you asked me to make a prediction at these very early days, I'd say that the PS4 will become the gamers choice as the PS3/360 are now, but that the XB1 will go on to sell by the bucketload in the same way the Wii did. It may not be as cool, but the home integration thing could (should?) really ensure that every home has one.

WiiU? Dead as a dead thing, even more than the Vita. Over here and the US, at least.

Nice. :thumleft: sony are trying to undercut Microsoft with the prices like the 360 did with the ps3. Will only help matters to the consumer as Microsoft will offer deals to make as many sales as possible obviously.

Games on both consoles are gona be £50+ though :(

Good value for a game you can finish in a few hours and then it's worthless.. Oh well, so long as M$ have their pockets lined, that's all that counts.

Agreed. Microsoft will have to answer this one for sure! They've already said that they are not restricting games but giving the choice to the game publishers as they want to make money on every purchase, new and used, of their games.

The whole used games/trade in details have not been 100% confirmed and no one knows how exactly it will work if it will even go a head at all. I've been reasearching it as much as possible on the net and readig exactly whats been officially released from Microsoft and the game publishers. It's definitely a pita and not what any gamer wants at all but there are some real perks to the set up on the xbox one also. According to Microsoft you can 10 friends on your friends list that can use and play ANY game on your xbox one from any other xbox one thats online. Thats pretty damn cool. You can also trade and sell used games online, no exact details how yet. You can also lend games to other friends online but again no exact details.

The whole DRM on used games is a complete nightmare and not what us gamers want at all but I can see why the publishers want it (not that I give a sh*t at all about them making millions!) and why Microsoft have done it (not justifying it in the slightest).

Publishers have already officially said that they CAN also block used games on the ps4. Sony definitely without doubt are not telling us the whole story about the exact details of how the ps4 will work online and what will happen with the used games. There is absolutely no way that a publisher will block their used games being played on the One and allow them to be used/traded/borrowed on the ps4. Absolutely no way. The whole 'doesn't need to be online' statement was obviously another direct dig at Microsoft and isn't totally true either. There is a lot of information on the net about it all at the mo. Sony were just clever telling everyone what they wanted to hear and not telling them what will happen with the console.

I think Microsoft should drop the whole DRM thing straight away and listen to what nearly every gamer and potential consumer of their console is saying right now. The price isn't really a problem, its next gen so its obviously going to cost more than current gen. The Internet connection isnt a problem to anyone who has the net and these consoles are next gen online machines so it would be ridiculous to think you wouldnt need the Internet with them.

The games are looking amazing and will only get better and better over the next few years. Just have to wait and see what they both announce over the next few months.
