@redbliss@nixon34 "And they absolutely did all this in agreement with the Publishers, they just didnt prepare for the possibility that Sony wouldnt join them." I agree, it seems like a perfect console and i wonder what is the tradeoff with the publishers.

@wrighteous86 Assumptions. Big leap. You're right. It just seems unclear to me (English is not my mother tongue btw (easy way out)). I wanted to have your opinions and maybe other sources. I don't want MS to win. With this competition, the players will win, so great. I just don't get how we ended up with two completely different strategies. Did the publishers had any say in this ? This is really interesting.

@rvone I agree with you. I don't like Microsoft attitude. Sony acknowledged their past mistakes and now they give developers and core players what they want. Smart move.

@stoffinator I agree ! I'd rather give money to Sony.

@golguin Is Microsoft gonna fail ? I don't think so. They made the perfect product for another segment. You can play CoD, Madden and watch fucking reality TV shows. The voices on the internet don't represent the buyers (not all of them). I mean Kinect is a fucking disaster, 24 million units sold !

But man there is something wrong somewhere don't you think ? I have a hard believing Microsoft jumped on the DRM, online, no used game, big brother wagon without any pressure from the publishers.

@marcsman I'm not trying to defend Microsoft here, i wasn't making an argument. I don't think i'll buy a console, i'll stick to the PC. But Sony made me interested in console again that's for sure.

@darji@mariachimacabre@themasterds Did Microsoft made any of that clearer ? Because if it's one guest at a time for the whole library it's pretty shitty.

@jimmyfenix I followed your advice. That was a bad advice. I'm confused. Me stupid man. What do you understand when you read their policies ?

@jz Well it doesn't really apply. You "duplicate" the game on XBone, not giving it.

Sony seems to be getting a lot of praise : "Microsoft-killer", "gamers aware". "How can Microsoft survive ?????"

Price : point Sony (for now). Online requirement : point Sony. Indie developers : point Sony (i think).

But ! I don't agree on the rest of the controversy.

I don't really think the used game policy is a real issue. People were worried about used game on PC when digital versions appeared (i actually don't remember). But it is not a problem now, because there are sales every day and if you wait 3 months you can have a game for half the price. If Microsoft plays its cards right and allow Steam-like sales, it's no longer an issue. If...

You've seen this video right ? Pretty funny.

But now Shuhei Yoshida can't play his game. On Xbox One, you can potentially share your whole library with ten guys, still play your games and you have potentially ten totally different libraries to go through.

Few notes : i don't have a PS3 (nor a Xbox 360) so maybe sharing digital version of game is already not an issue on Sony's side but i'd love to hear their words on it. And Xbox One policies aren't that clear.

Any thoughts on that ? Do you have more information about sharing digital versions on PS ?
