Awesome deal, still like my pysical copies though If they want me to switch to digital tie my games to my account instead of console, then we'll talk.

Just another reason to love those adorable Pikmin

I think PS4 will shock many people in a goodway, I think it could help Sony find the topspot since PS2, it's definatly the first time I've been genuinly exited about a Sony games console in a long time, PS2 was my fave console ever and it's ontop still, I'm a betting man and I think Sony will win this Gen.

Looks like a really nice set, shame Ubisoft seem to be leaving us out with this one. I agree with @Pjsprojects I don't think the Wii U version will be anything to shout about, kinda why I'm gonna get the PS4 version I think.

I knew there was nothing to worry about with this game evn though Rocksteady arn't doing it, it looks amazing, Prequels are usually rubbish too, lucks like this could be the best prequel in a while, really like Batman's voice too, suits him.

 

Microsoft

 

Good-

• I see the Xbox 360 being the cheap console of choice for casuals, and consumers who don't have the money to invest into next gen consoles.
• Xbox 360 will have a slight incline in sales for the next few years.
• The One, will see a redesign, making it look much sleeker and cheaper.
• The Kinect 2.0 will unveil tremendous innovation if developers see good sales on Xbox One, resulting in a strong desire to pay extra for the console.   
• Microsoft ensures even with poor sales that they still get the exclusive DLC and deals seen last gen.

 

Bad-

• The Xbox One is seen as a casual box, mainly used for a high quality multimedia box.
• This will help drive the sales but Microsoft will leave the gaming console market, as it see it as dying.
• The Xbox One will be seen as a failure in the gaming communities eyes and the Xbox One will start to lose support due to bad sales.
• The Xbox One will have a massive price drop in the coming years due to terrible sales
• Microsoft will either discontinue it, like Sega did with the Saturn, or they will just let it flop and never return to the console market.
• None of the good will matter if the Xbox One doesn't pick up the pace.

 

Sony

 

Good-

• The Playstation 4 is the developer console of choice for third parties.
• The architecture will make it easy for PS4 to become a home console and gaming PC hybrid, as it will get a lot of PC ports.
• This may possibly hurt PC sales more resulting in higher market share for Sony as they capture the Xbox one and casual PC gaming audience.
• the PS4 will be a very solid and all around good investment for almost everyone around the world, but if not marketed correctly could hurt Sony because of having so many products on the market.(PSP, PS3, Vita)

 

Bad-

• The Vita bombs costing Sony quite a bit of money wasted.
• On top of them taking a loss on the PS4, this hurts them harder then most would think.
• I see Sony gaining profit early on, but struggling to keep success after Vita bombs.
• The PS4 will see little to no innovation and will be seen as the slightly better and more expensive version of the PS3.
• Due to Sony having the most third party support , a lot of shovelware will arrive on the console.

 

Nintendo

Good-

• Once Sony starts to gain momentum , Nintendo will be a step ahead with a much larger library of quality games, a cheaper price point, a more appealing and simplistic online service for free, and  a much diverse collection of developers and genres.
• Nintendo will be the Indie developer kings of this generation, because of the very easy process of porting games over from the PC versions on to the E-shop.
• Third Party support will pick up and be close to what the PS4 receives as the architecture of both consoles resembles PC gaming rigs.
• Unique, and fresh new IPs will arrive along with revamps on very old , legendary Nintendo franchises.
• Sales will ramp up quickly in 2014 with all the massive first party games being released at a steady pace for Wii U all throughout the rest of 2013, 2014, and in 2015 nintendo will see a rapid increase in Wii U profit and software sales.
• By 2016 Nintendo will be head to head with Sony battling it out as it was last gen with Xbox 360 and PS3.
• They are no longer behind, they are at the forefront of gaming as they were in the 80's.
• The publicity they get will be astonishing, because of the business efforts they make to keep the gaming industry creative.
• The 3DS will be the best selling console of all time by 2016, or 2017 if the software pacing is correct.

Bad-

 

• Wii U will see sloppy support until the end of 2014 by third parties.
• critics will be hard until the Wii U gets good third party support.
• The tech will start to see age by 2017, but games will still run great on the console.

 

Damn you for stealing the words out my mouth, that is everything I was going to say lol

Finally! About time too, I've been waiting for this since the Wii U, Miiverse and NNID's were originally anounced, I honestly thought Nintendo might have dropped the idea and used it with thier next gen handheld in a few years time.

Wow, well this is awesome, really enjoyed the Pikmin stuff, looks like Bingo Battle will be really addictive, that new SpotPass feature really comes in handy where I live, I take my 3DS to Birmingham (UK's second biggest city) and Solihull (the town next to Birmingham) all the time since Feb and I still havn't had a hit

Looking forward to this game, looks amazing, I don't care what the haters who compare this game to CoD say, Assassin's Creed changes and improves with every release CoD doesn't. I know the releases are getting quite frequent, but if it's a good quality game what is the problem, at least it's not the same s**t every year with a different name slapped on it.

2000 people wasted thier money, such a shame, mind you if you are stupid enough to buy an Ouya you probably deserve to lose your money

A Circle Pad Pro XL would be handy if you plan on playing games like Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Wow that looks amazingly awesome, shame it's not on Wii U

Finally, I can't wait to get this update, Unified NNID's, Unified eShops and hopefully purchased games will be tied to your eShop account instead of the damn console, we have been asking for this for a long time why Nintendo has done nothing is beyond me, honestly I'm scared to crap of my 3DS and Wii U breaking as I will lose all my downloaded DLC and Games.

Hello and welcome to our forums, I hope you enjoy your stay

     Code Geass IMO one of the greatest animes of all time I have been watching it for the past 2 days 48 hours total I have watched all 50 episodes meaning a total of 20 hours watching the show and and I have slept for a total of 20 hours during this period of time so thats a total of 40 hours with the other 8 doing stuff like walking my dog and whatever else.

     Well I've finished the anime and I don't know what to do with my life all I can think about is this anime and the same happened after the end of Black Butler and Full Metal Alchemist I have no idea what to do with my life now everything I think about is revolving around the characters of the show I try to distract myself but I can't I just end up thinking about Code Geass again and again with Full Metal Alchemist which I belive was my introduction into the anime world it took about a month for me to not care about it anymore and I fear this will take longer

     This is my obsesion and I don't know what to do

 

Edit: while rereading this I have really realized how sad this is that my life revolves around an anime and I have other obssesions as well and it really makes me feel stupid for basically basing my life around such things and I feel meh now that really my life is nothing but anime and gaming

Your not crazy at all, a lot of people get this feeling when they finish something, even I do! Which is why Anime is so good, not many TV Shows can get you thinking for days. I remember sitting around for at least a week thinking about what happened to Goku after DragonBall, DragonBall Z and DragonBall GT finished, just shows how much good storys pull you in, I feel sorry for the people who don't get this feeling actually, they are missing out on such a powerful emotion, maybe it's just because I put myself in the characters shoes alot, I dunno.

The first film was bada$$ in my opinion, I don't know what everyone has against it, it was better than the original trilogy i think, everyone was saying "Oh, oh, oh, oh wait til the next film the first one was just the origin story I'm sure the next one will be better", now people a discounting it after the very first teaser what is wrong with you people?

I didn't know this either...

Niether did I lol, how unbelivable, wow, a whole city, ouch!

Urrrrrggggggg never liked Family Guy and I went off The Simpsons a long time ago, the show has got terrible lately.

Why? Battlefront by DICE? 

Because it's EA, like one of the worst gaming companies ever, have you been living under a rock, starting next gen they could also be making games that cost $80!!!

I do prefer Capacitive myself, but what can you do eh?

Wow just wow, I can't belive Nintendo UK did it, the rest of the website is still crap though, try having an account, hardly anything works as it's "under construction" which it has been for the last year or so now, the layout is horrible and the rewards catalogue is rubbish!

I suppose I agree with this article but in a way with Nintendo's game prices I just feel they are bieng greedy, I mean Pokemon Daimond is still £25-£30 new and look how long it's been out PS4 Slim?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Soooooooooooo PancakeStation 4 then??? I already thought the PS4 was small enough.

Well they haven't been doing anything since 2011. So they had 2 years to make this game, maybe it's the new IP Miyamoto was talking about.

Seems like a very logical observation.

Whatever they're up to though, it will be good.

I agree with both of you, lets hope we hear something soon, maybe at GDC 2013?

No. Just drop the price and get rid of the Basic bundle.

Yep, oh and bring out a White Premium model to replace the Basic.

I'm a Pokemon fan but I'm sick of the cheap spinoffs, Pokemon MMO or GTFO!
