Call of Duty: Ghosts & Battlefield 4 are 720p on Xbox One, and 1080p on the PS4. :o

I was buying 3rd party stuff on my 360 at the start of this generation due to inferior PS3 ports before I switched to PC and never looked back looks like this trend will continue in reverse for nextgen.

I was sold on the PS3 just from the way they have sold it. A lot of things I like and while I love and do most of my gaming on PC I still really need an RPG machine and that goes to the PS4. For RPG's and Johann Sebastian Joust.

Stuff like this just pisses off consumers... sigh.

I purchase very few console games now. I, too, tend to stick with the PC.

The 360 tried at first on the JRPG front! Star Ocean 4, and Lost Odyssey, and err Blue Dragon?!

and to be fair...Lost odyssey is one of my absolute favorite games of the generation. Especially on the RPG front. Star Ocean 4 was really fun but writing wise was one of the biggest piles of shit this side of a giant pile of shit because it was shit...

PS4 will demolish Xbox One.

Nintendo seems to be kind of sitting this generation out on the home console front. Since I launched with Nintendo Land and Mario a few weeks later Nintendo has completed development and released Luigi expansion, Pikmin, and a Windwaker remake. Wii year 1 saw Nintendo release 17 new games including Wii Sports, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Wii Fit, and Super Mario Galaxy.

3DS is booming right now though. My big hope is that Enix quits screwing around with Dragon Quest and releases a proper Dragon Quest game on 3DS. Dragon Quest X was more of a spinoff than a true DQ title.

Steambox will likely demolish all of them. If they get their shit together.

PS4 is trying to be the first one out the gate, which, unlike Sega's version of it, is actually a good plan. I don't know how long it will last, though.

This 4 way horserace will be very interesting.

You mean like just about every modern JRPG ever made? I used to like JRPGs, too, but these clowns can't write an original story any more. Instead, they want to keep fucking that fantasy chicken.
