They'll sneak it in little by little. j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 20/06/2013 04:21:26 PM

They'll get a fair bit of what they just changed by sneaking it into their updates to the system throughout it's life. That's my opinion at least.


View original postSony could "turn it on" as easily as Microsoft could, and I don't see any reason to trust them more. Don't kid yourself; they'd love to eliminate trading and used-game sales. They're not looking out for your best interest, they just didn't think they could get away with it. For all we know they had a similar system in the works (competing companies generally try to match features) and just hadn't revealed it yet. Besides, Microsoft will have to be on their best behavior now. They're trying to play the "you spoke, we listened" card and even a hint of re-implementing their hated features will call down a gigantic tantrum.

You do realise the PS3 has outsold the 360? *NM* Wibble - 20/06/2013 11:52:59 PM 580 Views
Since when? I highly doubt this since... MonCul - 21/06/2013 06:31:33 PM 1240 Views
The IDC report that accompanies those figures provides more recent (if not official) numbers. Aemon - 21/06/2013 08:55:40 PM 1636 Views
That's a good point, which makes me wonder how the next generation will pan out. MonCul - 21/06/2013 09:26:23 PM 1075 Views
Ok, makes more sense with the body of the message. Dannymac - 20/06/2013 07:00:36 PM 1193 Views
