| Xbone...doesn't have HDCP over HDMI for games, so you can still use capture cards. |
I'm curious, does the PS4 have HDCP? For streaming the PS3 I had to buy this device and an HDMI splitter.
I am wondering if all these people streaming from their consoles are going to make online play worse since their upstream is going to be eaten up by their broadcasting. Also the yakking to their audience during play would make things awful.
However, looking at twitch the past few days doesn't look like many are using the service; at least in comparison to LoL and Hearthstone (the usual breadwinners).

I think it's because the consumers who would complain the loudest don't have any real games to play (launch lineup stinks, IMO) right now. We're also broke. I'm not the only one who has learned the hard-lesson of not being the first-in-line for new technology. Redrings and Yellow lights everywhere.
If I do buy a new console it would likely be by the 3rd iteration of the hardware when the bugs are smoothed out, there are games to play, and it'd likely be too late to complain.
It took a few years before I jumped in to the previous gen of systems, I expect this to be no different.

| From playing with it at Target. The d-pad is better. However, the triggers feel awful. I don't know about how it'd work with a PC since the logitech f310 and TE stick I currently use will likely last for a while. |

oh yeah, definitely, and as someone who has played PC games for most of my life, i can fluctuate on how much i enjoy it. i mostly just bring it up to point out how much the PC gamers tend to underestimate the average person's distaste for it. |
truly, my dayjob is messing around with computers all day. the last thing i want to do when i get home and want to unwind is futz with settings menus. it becomes less "customizing my experience" and just "getting them damn thing to cooperate". until i just give up and play super monkey ball instead. it's easy to think these people are large in number, but they're just a really loud, always connected minority (see neogaf).
and i put together a nice computer telling myself i would learn to enjoy this aspect of PC gaming (lol nope, still hate it).

i liked the rest of your post, but man this sentence here hurts. only because my main living room station still contains a Dreamcast, N64, a Wii (for emulation and GameCube), and a PS2 all hooked up to a tube. there is a supergun with SuperTurbo and Tekken Tag 1 laying around my floor for when the itch strikes. just because something is old, doesn't mean it's not good.
i have a mid-range i5 computer with a decent video card and all them bells and whistles and all I do on it is play indie games. i built the machine to play fancy PC games and i think the hardest thing i threw at it was dark souls. i've not found very many games that appeal to me in these modern days from the big devs (not an FPS / shootyman / bioware kind of guy).
i only state it because the Wii U is a system I finally want now, and I'm a cranky man who has disliked every Mario game in one form or another after SMB3.
i'm honestly kind of surprised these new sony /ms systems are doing so well out of the gate. i figured the way the gaming media and forums were talking for the past year or two, it was the end of consoles and the new beginning of the PC / Steambox era. guess there is a world of users outside neogaf / reddit, afterall?

The Internet assumed handheld gaming was going to die as well with Smart Phones and Tablets, etc. But that hasn't happened yet either. |
i always thought this statement was bunk because that sounds like a statement mentioned by those who do not play games. i personally hate touch screen controls so much, because you can't get much of a "gamey-game" from such a lousy interface. the only games that do well on mobile devices are ones that practically play themselves and require minimal user input.
i still feel that the PSP is the ultimate portable gaming device only because it has buttons and a dpad and emulators for near anything can be shoved into it. i'm close to buying a 3ds, but i would have thought about it much much sooner if it had no region locks.
