I’ll make this brief. Just finished watching Sony’s press conference. I couldn’t believe it.
No DRM, no restrictions on used games, a cavalcade of interesting
exclusives (including Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3) and it’s
$100 cheaper than the XBox One! I think Sony just launched a major
offensive against Microsoft, and consumer reaction has, thus far, been
remarkably swift. However, the only bad thing about the PS4 is that
PlayStation Plus will be required for online play, which is similar to
the XBox 360′s Live subscription service, but for offline single player
games, it’s not needed.
The console design itself, the one thing I was personally looking forward to seeing, looks uniquely strange, but serviceable.
Sony played their cards right and handily sucker-punched the XBox
One like Rocky through Clubber Lang’s face, but don’t declare the PS4
the automatic victor just yet. Microsoft has yet to respond to the
press conference. And from the looks of things, they’ve got a lot of
holes to plug in that sinking ship of theirs!
But, in all fairness, I wish both consoles the best success. For
now, it seems, Sony’s gained the advantage in this latest war between
video game consoles.
