I can't see PS4 hardware sales changing much if at all seeing how they're supply constrained.
Sony stated that PS4 production has increased to coincide with the launch of Infamous. It's hard to tell since every retailer keeps selling out immediately, but the numbers in a couple of weeks should be interesting
The price of the new metal gear game has completely plummeted its at 20$ right know on the Xbox store.
That's expected for a prologue game. It's really only 2 hours of gameplay and should be more a demo than anything else. They were really overcharging for it to begin with.
Bought PvZ GW and I didn't research it as it was $40 minus my gamer pointz loot; no single player game from another EA title. It has pretty good multi player but I can't help but feel that this is becoming a bit of a trend. I'm ok with that as long as we continue to see equal development on single player stuff too.

EA games need to be boycotted. They've taken so so many fantastic franchises and run them into the ground one way or another. Command and Conquer is one case, Wing Commander, PvZ from a nice low cost game with tons of value to a $40 steaming pile of shiet, the whole dungeon keeper F2P debacle, DLC hell... ($300+) for the Sims and omg... don't even get me started about how royally they screwed Simcity V. AAA prices for a limited gameplay experience is just another long list of crappy things they've done.
They've been pushing the anti consumer envelope for a long long time now and it has to stop. Just when you think they've learned their lesson they find some new and creative way to rape the consumer and yet people still buy into their hype machine every time they announce something "big". Only way to do this is by hitting them where it hurts, their wallets. Hopefully they die and smaller, better companies take it's place.
It'll be interesting to see the PS4 numbers over the next couple of weeks with the launch of Infamous Second Son. It's the first truly next gen game IMO, the graphics are incredible
I wouldn't call it truly next gen. I think it's fun but it's not a must play game and while the cut scenes character animation is amongst the best I've seen on a console the actual gameplay in the city doesn't blow me away. It's the same repetitious gameplay from the first titles and nothing earth shattering outside of great visuals. Don't get me wrong it's a good game and a must play given the dearth of good games on next gen systems but it's not a system seller or anything.

Don't forget all the Bioware franchises that EA ruined when they took over. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, KOTOR, all went to total crap when Bioware sold out

Agreed its to early to call it a next gen game.Its way to early in the cycle it could have easily of been a ps3 game
If there's anything more pathetic than nerds arguing about videogames, it's nerds calling for boycotts of videogame companies.
EA has single-handedly ruined many a great gaming franchise by using their revenue approach, and even in design, and deserve the scrutiny they have received.
EA in turn can blame that on the purchasing habits of their customers, and their obligation to churn revenues to pay their bills. And to pay their investors.
Lets also give some allowance for the fact that its hard to follow up a franchise with even better games and you need to generate revenue to pay your programmers etc.
They are sitting on a goldmine and are producing awful games which ruin the value of their acquired IP. I think for me Dungeon Keeper was the breaking point. EA has to do better, or they're going to die.
Just wrapped infamous and it was a blast. The different powers all helped you navigate the City in interesting ways and how you approached battles differed depending on which power you had active. I liked the Neon the best but never really got to try out the concrete as much as I would have liked because you got it at the end. Story was interesting and Seattle looked really great graphically and was detailed intricately. Helped immerse you in the experience even more.
Plus there were lots of interesting side missions to keep the experience fresh. Lots of blast shards to collect but less than 2 which is a good thing. Plus there is an ongoing paper trail mission that is supposed to last for another 6 weeks. Played part 1 and 2 and it was tough but rewarding. You do parts in game and search for clues out of the game on your computer. An example is in one part you find a wallet in the game then search it on your computer for clues to find a phone number to track back in the game.
Cheapassgamers had a thread running about the Xbone price dripping down to 399 to match the PS4 on Amazon.com for a while. Price is back up now though.
