    I don't really see the problem. As long as their efforts to add extra functionality to the systems doesn't take away from the gaming, why do you care? I probably won't use 90% of the extra options they tie into the PS4, but I'm not going to complain that it's there. Who does that? Who gets mad because they are getting more more their money? lol

    because the ? they are trying to do goes into the console cost (even if the console is sold at a loss) also it costs millions if not billions in pointless marketing. If the console and servers are so focused on trying to find out which games you want to download you don't think that going to effect the price i pay or the quality of the game?

    I honestly doubt a lot of this stuff goes into the hardware cost. Like you yourself pointed out, they are already selling the console for more than its worth, so it's doubtful that they are charging much for some ancillary stuff that likely doesn't take them much to produce anyway. The consoles are basically computers. The time social ? they are putting on them is like a drop in the bucket these days. It's relatively easy to do. I'm pretty sure they are willing to take a loss on whatever work they put in developing that in hopes that it will attract more people to the system. And I honestly don't think they are going to spend any more on marketing because of this. Yes, a portion of the commercials they air will be dedicated to that aspect of the system, there is nothing to suggests that they would spend any less on marketing if that didn't exist. They just focus the marketing strategy on some other aspect of the system.

    Right.

    I know everyone's tastes' are different but that thing don't have ? to play. If I got one I would play nothing but the psone FF games & some of the E-shop games. Not worth the 2fif.

    Assassin Creed Series
    Darksiders
    Dishonered
    And many more

    If those didn't appeal to you as a ? gamer then nothing will

    Been sick of the MGS series since the PS2 gen. Couldn't get into Uncharted or Infamous and I really tried. Screw Resistance because again I hate FPS. This post just made me realize that yeah I guess I should probably not even try to get back into gaming on my own accord. After 25 years I guess I've outgrown the habit because a lot of the new IP's don't interest me in any way.

    Games with better graphics, better gameplay, and much more detailed formulated story than it's predecessor doesn't appeal to you?

    Eh, yea you might have outgrown gaming.

    Never been a graphics ? and "better gameplay" is extremely subjective. Also a lot of the storylines in these games are still quite amateur and contrived and have them come across as wannabe motion pictures instead of actual video games. I'll keep an eye on what's coming but it'll probably be a bit more than handful that appeals to me going forwards (most of that probably being new entries in old IP's).
