Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

[Stefan Vujovic]

Minecraft top seller for PS4, and it's about the same for every system it debuts on, that guy made some serious serious cash considering invesment...

On the topic, it's disgusting what they are labeling as new gen systems, low entry 2010 pc, but i gotta admit some of the ps4 exclusives seem quite decent, shame they are going to be limited by fps drops and unforgivable 30fps lock in 2014...

Minecraft is also quite cheap. Well nothing prevented anyone to make it before him and release it as noncommercial freeware.

I mention it more in the manners of being interesting phenomenon, and tnx to Notch we got shitty ass AoW3, but i guess it wasn't his fault that end up as generic as one could get...

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a gorgeous looking game and CD Projekt are trying to deliver the same experience across the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Despite their similarities, the PS4 and Xbox One do have some decidedly unique hardware features. How will CD Projek be taking advantage of the PS4′s unified GDDR5 memory architecture and whether they will be developing specific graphical features which they might have found to be possible only on the PS4?

“We always want to provide the best possible experience to all our gamers regardless of the platform and so we are not aiming to develop special graphical features for any of them,” Balazs Torok, Lead Engine Programmer said to GamingBolt.

And regarding the kind of anti-aliasing technology they will use for PS4 and Xbox One versions, Balazs stated that they won’t be using hardware based MSAA. “We are still exploring some options regarding anti-aliasing but we are sure that it will be some kind of screen space anti-aliasing solution and not hardware MSAA,” he said.

So devs have just started downgrading PS4 games to Xbone level, how predictible.

I tried to search to see if anyone had posted this, but all discussion about Watch Dogs reads scandalous in this thread and I couldn't find it.

MS caught using PS4 footage on their channel.

Bad trend as well. If M$ suspects they can get away with it, they'll start making that a condition for smaller developers (as in, any studio that isn't part of a large conglomerate) if they want a decent cut. Unlike their hardware benchmarks, they could do this completely on the sly, as it would be covered by contractual secrecy.

Combined sales of the PS4 and Xbox One after nine months on sale are now almost 80 per cent higher than those for the PS3 and Xbox 360 over the same time period, NPD also noted.

The PS4 is carrying all of this. If it wasn't doing better than the dog that was the PS3 for the first few years, they'd have a problem.

Only good thing about the consoles is that PC system requirements are kept in check. No need to buy a new graphics card every year a'la late 90s/early 2000s. But of course I'd welcome if developers would finally leave that 360/PS3 garbage behind and upgrade the baseline requirements.

As for PC exclusives, they have always targeted the (low-end to middle-class PC) masses first and foremost.

Banned console? Does it mean that MS can keep users from offline playing?

I want a Wii U. I think I'm going to buy one soon. Bayonetta 2 and 1 are on it, and Mario Kart, and eventually there will be another Metroid game.
