In over a decade of watching E3 events, I’ve honestly never seen one company completely and utterly destroy a competitor like what happened last night between Sony and Microsoft.

All of this isn’t to say that Sony is guaranteed to “win” the next console generation outright. It will certainly have an advantage at launch, but after this fiasco Microsoft may do everything in their power to change the narrative, perhaps even walking back some of these controversial policies at some point, or shooting for an early price cut. And in the long run, I still believe deep down the Kinect has an incredible amount of untapped potential.
Or really, no one could win. Video game consoles face increased entertainment competition now more than ever before with mobile devices and the ever present shadow of increasingly affordable and popular PC gaming. That said, I don’t subscribe to the idea that consoles are dead or dying. I just think there might be less of them in the future. Microsoft needs to hope the Xbox isn’t one of the first casualties.
There are many lessons to be learned here, the first and foremost being “listen to your customers.” Sony did, Microsoft didn’t, and the result was nothing short of a gut-wrenching fatality, and a flawless victory for the wiser party.

It would have been enough to let Microsoft dig its own grave, but Sony knocked them out with a shovel and started piling dirt on top of them for good measure.

Also, there's what DICE did to CoD, albeit indirectly.

I'm more pumped about taking down Xbox than I am about reserving the PS4. I blame bama for that mentality.

Off-topic, people playing BF4 at E3 said you can take down the skyscraper with C4 / tank shells anytime during the game. It's still a capture point after, too. So, it wasn't scripted.

i love your hate for COD

I love that you love it.

I have never played BF but man did it make COD look like childs play.

After seeing more on both, I would prefer the PS4. My gaming has gone down drastically from what it was. I'm just not that into it anymore. If I do get one though, it will be PS4 with BF4. Cancel the Xbox Live and get PS+

So why would you get the one that can do a lot less?

That's stupid thinking. Less competition is never good for you as a consumer. Xbox dying would leave one console (not counting the Wii U here) and then you're at their mercy since they have no one left to keep them honest.

XBO was flying off Amazon's listings anyway.

Yea it will still sell plenty of consoles, but it's still stupid thinking to wish for the death of any competition whether that's consoles, devs, publishers, etc.
