LOL unless it's Nintendo some people are never satisfied. I really couldn't give a damn about the name but for people that do I don't understand how they could consider this worse than Wii U. PS4 is the best name and even that isn't awesome but we're not playing a console's name.

The people trashing this are just haters. I get that the majority of the community at this trio of websites comes from NLife but please for once take the friggin' fanboy goggles off. Nothing Nintendo does is wrong, nothing MS (and to a lesser degree Sony) does is right. PS4 is the system I'm leaning towards but this is the best controller.

I never buy pre-owned games so that doesn't effect me. Sucks for people who do, but when it comes to disc based games I'd rather get new. Too many times I've seen used games in terrible condition.

This to me is the best news MS could've had at the show, aside from showing us Halo 5. I love Remedy's games.

All these announcements today have been pretty obvious though it's better than 'Surprise! Xbox One isn't getting this game.'

First thing I do when I put a new game in is install it to the harddrive anyway. Saves wear and tear on the system, I fail to see how this is a bad thing.

That means at least for the next couple years I'll have to have 4 systems hooked up to my tv. Unless MS moves on from 360 quickly after the Xbox One comes out.

That's why this whole trend with being less and less excited about Wii U no matter what Nintendo seems to do, bothers me. I'm a fan of Nintendo, being an 80's kid, most of my early gaming memories revolve around playing games on Nintendo's systems, unfortunately the Wii U just seems boring to me. Granted I look forward to seeing what the 3D Super Mario platformer, Mario Kart and Smash will bring, but other than that, I really don't care. MS may not have a ton of exclusives, but I have to give them that the big 3, Halo, Gears and Forza are phenomenal, and eventhough you have to pay for Xbox Live, it is worth the price. I feel like with PS4 having the exclusives and I'm sure some cool non-gaming features, and with MS covering the bases for entertainment and multiplat gaming, I'll be set with just those two consoles.

I thought the console and controller both looked alright. Besides these companies have to make the first design kind of 'meh' looking. How else would they sell the slim redesigns later on?

@Bluezealand

To be fair this was better than any showing Nintendo ever had for Wii U. I fully expect PS4 to be my primary console but with all the cool features and Halo, there's at least reason to be excited about Xbox One. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to make me want to buy a Wii U.

Of course, even if I go with PS4 first, the day a new Gears or Halo hits is the day I buy the Xboxone. MS doesn't have a lot of exclusives worth a damn but I need my Halo fix.

From a features stand point this was cool. As a gamer I'm still all about PS4.

Crap of Duty, awesome.

I think they'll take North America for sure if Nintendo first party kepps dragging its feet.

Halo tv series is cool. I love anything Halo.

This guy is lying, Xbox hasn't had 15 exclusives the last 3 1/2 years.

LOL, I love both Alan Wake games but MS is so dumb sometimes I almost forgot Remedy existed.

Remedy, now I'm getting hyped.

Well at least MS is smart enough to put its premier racer on its new console. There's a +1 vs. Sony.

Phil Spencer... now the show will get better.

/sarcasm

So far I'm seeing nothing that is making me more excited for this machine than I am for PS4. Get EA off the stage and talk about some actual good games.

I guess EA figures a new gen means we'll all forget how much Live sucked last gen. Once 2K14 is announced nobody will remember or care about Live 14.

I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment. Show the games!

I like that the controller looks basically like the 360's, my favorite controller ever. Now show the damn games, I don't give a crap about this boring nonsense being talked about so far.

This is the first bit of good news surrounding this game. Still not sold on it, but at least they aren't being stupid with the voice actor like Konami is with MGS by giving Hayter the boot.

I guess it's not that surprising, Gamecube and Wii both got some exclusive Sonic games. The only reason I'm disappointed is because right now I have no intention of purchasing a Wii U anytime in the next 3 or so years. Hopefully after the PS4 and next Xbox have been on the market and get some decent sales, Sega will decide to bring a Sonic game to those consoles. Generations 2 would be cool.

It's gotta be getting close to reaching the Wii's sales to date numbers over here, which is something I don't think many would've predicted even as late as 2010. Granted the 360 has been on the market longer but still impressive, especially considering original Xbox sales weren't exactly the greatest ever.

I hope it's a PS4/next Xbox game, but whatever he's working on, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Loved it on the 3DS and I'll be picking it up again on PS3 so I can have most of the main games (except for Zero) on one system. It's an excellent game, I highly recommend it to any RE-loving PS3, 360 and Wii U owners especially those who haven't played it on 3DS. I'm thinking the Wii U version should be the definitive one since the gamepad will allow it to play basically the same as the 3DS version with prettier graphics.

Infinity doesn't sound bad but where do you go after that? I prefer Fusion although to be completely honest I wasn't at all against a brand re-launch and just calling it Xbox.

At this point I really don't think anything can change my mind about getting a PS4 first but PGR 5 would certainly speed up how quickly I try to save for the Xbox. All they really need to do is a show a logo for Halo 5 and people will be excited eventhough we all know it's on the way. 4 was fantastic, my GOTY for last year and if not my favorite game this gen, in the top 3. The only kind of negative is we probably won't get it until 2015 at the earliest. I doubt it's a launch title and next year I think we'll be getting a 'Halo 2 Anniversary.' Good because it gives more time for the team to make 5 as awesome as possible, bad because I'm impatient and want it right now.

I don't even know why they would bother with Live. It was ok years and years ago but ever since the 2K brand has been around it's destroyed Live every year. I'd rather EA focus on making Madden good again.

Infamous 2 is fantastic, definitely a game Xbox only people miss out on. But Xbox has its own games to envy like Halo (best franchise in gaming imo) and Forza. I honestly wouldn't want any of those PS3 games on Xbox just like I wouldn't want any of the Xbox exclusives on PlayStation. Competition is a good thing and its the first party games that give these brands their identities.

The vast majority, at least from what I've seen, calls the 360 'Xbox' anyway so it would make sense to just call it that and nobody does advertising like MS, if there's one thing I think it does far better than its competitors it's advertise the crap out of its products, that will ensure there's no confusion. It won't be like Nintendo who's marketing of the Wii U has been questionable to say the least.

Anyway, glad the hype train is now finally starting. It will take a lot to get me more excited for the next Xbox than I am for the PS4 but I am a big fan of both brands and I'm looking forward to seeing what MS is going to bring to the table. I'm a Halo fanboy so any Halo 5 footage would get me super hyped though I assume that would probably be something they hold until E3 eventhough we all know it's coming.

There's definitely a place for Kinect in 'core' games. I don't ever want to control the main action in Halo or Gears with the device but voice commands for squadmates in Gears or reading your arm motion to throw a grenade in Halo. That kind of stuff is useful.

This joins DuckTales and Flashback as must buys.

The one I'd like to see is the NES Batman game based off the 1989 movie.

Impressive performance from both Gears and God of War considering they're exclusive to one console and were total cash-ins, still great games though and glad to see perform well. Tomb Raider and Bioshock: Infinite definitely deserve those top two spots. NPD numbers should be coming soon, will be interesting to see how the U.S. game market did. It's been a rough go for the market over here for the last year.

I also like the idea, especially if it keeps the price of the new system down. I want to keep both my 360 and PS3 anyway since I won't get a fraction back of what I've sunk into each console so b/c in new machines isn't a huge deal for me.

DuckTales, Castle of Illusion and now Flasback, brings back great memories from when I was a kid. Really looking forward to all of these.

Yup, as always people are entitled to their opinions however when you're in the position this guy is you have to be more careful in how you express your opinion and respond to others opinions. This guy was an immature, self-important clown.

This all could've been easily avoided.

Of those games it should go to Halo 4 or Far Cry 3, if nominations didn't end before Tomb Raider and Bioshock came out I'd be surprised they were left off because both games are better than any on the list.

I didn't play Arkham City on the Wii U so I don't know how well the port turned out, but aside from a few gameplay gimmicks that WB wanted added, most of the work was already done for these guys, they just had to make sure they didn't screw up Rocksteady's game in the transition to the new console. This really does feel like a late-gen cash-in, the fact that there's a handheld Arkham Origins game as well just cements that. I don't have high hopes for that either since I have yet to play a multiplat 3DS/Vita game that is any good, if 3DS is the lead platform, I'll be even more infuriated because the Vita has the superior hardware. Develop for the stronger system first then down port if you have to, otherwise don't even bother.

It's not a deal breaker, it'd be a nice feature to have in there but at the same time if leaving it out means the hardware of the new machine can be better, fine by me. Like Tasuki posted, it's best to also avoid a situation like the PS3 had this when Sony included the feature then got some hell from consumers (rightly so) when it had to be removed.

I'm a big fan of the Arkham games, in fact City is one of my top 2 from this gen but no Rocksteady definitely has me on the fence about this.

Nintendo may well win the gen but it shouldn't be backwards compatibility that does it. I'm still much more interested in what Sony and MS have to say in the coming months than I am in what Nintendo is doing with the Wii U. The new 3D Mario will be cool, outside of that I still see no reason to own the system, and I'm a Nintendo fan, I've owned every one of its systems so I want to be hyped over Wii U. Maybe they can change my mind at E3. This is going to be an important one for all 3 companies, especially if Valve has a 'surprise' it wants to announce.
