PS4 vs Xbox One vs WiiU

The next generation of systems is upon us and its going to be a war. I am hardcore so.... I will own every system, but not without an annoyed (and somewhat disturbed) opinion. I have lived through most of the valid console wars and I have some words about the new systems. 

If you ask why they are grouped together, that's because the were made in the same factory.
Sony revealed the Playstation 4 two months prior. Well, they revealed the CONTROLLER not the system. The system had to wait until 2013's E3 event. Of course speculation and bullshit would circulate for 2 months. Two long months and that brought the record number of mach ups or prototype pics of the system ever. Numerous websites would throw their creative cards in for a big circus of random supercrap. It,  to say the least,  got the fuck out of hand! Once E3 hit, the system was...MEH! Nothing like what the fans would dream of. Sony even mosaiced the system to leave us guessing about a black square.

Ta Da: the fucking PS4 and eye toy x. AKA 3D picture taker and 1080p movie recorder and Wii move mote toblerone radon detector. OH yes.
 It was rumored that Xbox's new console was going fully "digital rights media" restricted. Everything from how you play to the constant check ups were going to be integrated. Going a route that all of us seriously questioned on the spot. You can not call it a console if you cannot play used games, borrow, trade or play offline. It was an insult to the senses. They better say something at E3 or Microsoft is going be hurting.
$150 more than ps4? Is it because of the new media Blu-ray microsoft had to jump to?


The Xbox One is FINALLY shown and its priced at $499. With the help of cloud and a handful of exclusive titles MS is sure to be a contender. The PS4 system is finally shown at $399. Whoa. The crowd roared when PS4 really got dirty and had a behind the scenes vid about How PS4 can play USED GAMES. This is how you share,  they said. Fantastic. No DRM.

Well PS4 has won without saying. There are far too many pluses to ignore. 100 bucks less, plays used games,  doesn't spy on us WOW. Microsoft has seriously fucked up and gets what it deserves. ............OH wait. Then Xbox One suddenly does what we have all been waiting for.  THEY TURN AROUND AND SAY NO DRM AND CAN NOW PLAY USED GAMES!!. YOUR SYSTEM IS NOW CALLED THE "180"! Holy shit,  the stupidity is getting worse by the day. The ones who make the consoles we love have all gone and are now replaced by the very casual crowd catering bullshit morons that have saturated the system wars into something of a throwback joke rather than an entertainment conglomerate of success.

Maybe you can hang on till people give a shit.
 Oh yes and nintendo showed a few first party titles that are on a horrible hd/single player system with only one control per $399 purchase, and maybe two must have exclusives.  The new consoles are more important andwill get the full attention . Sadly WiiU will go the way of Virtual Boy.
