I'm not saying I don't understand why you guys want them to keep supporting it, I just don't see what's in it for Sony.

They're doubling down on that "10 year console".

Here's the thing: most of the 3rd party developers aren't going whole-hog into the new systems yet,
...
That is the exact reason they need to drop the PS3 to Technical Support level.  They still patch, promote, and update that system but, they stop dedicating projects to it.  It has plenty of 3rd party support it doesn't need Sony Resources to still profitably cruise.  The PS4 on the other hand needs to start building its base or we'll be back in a XP Win7 style scenario.

I haven't heard great things about it for non-MGS fans and the feeling is its short by my understanding for MGS Fans.

Not. It can be beaten in 10 minutes, not that anyone has on the first play through, but that's still ridiculous. If you hold out a little longer, you can probably get Ground Zeroes for less than $10 in a couple months. Since you're even debating this, I think you can hold out. If you have the extra cash and just want something to play, go for it.

I was watching my friend play and when Keifer Sitherland said, "Kept you waiting, huh?" he yelled out, "**** you, Keifer!" He wasn't even joking; he just found not-David Hayter distracting. I don't know if that will affect your purchase, but it's something to keep in mind.

It's not Solid Snake though, it's Big Boss. Probably not gonna buy it, I don't even like Metal Gear.

Who said it was Solid Snake? David Hayter voiced Big Boss in Snake Eater, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker.

And if you said you didn't even like Metal Gear in the first place that would have made not recommending this even easier.

So, I guess we just disagree overall with how Sony should handle this, cause I personally don't think it's the terrible decision you and Insanolord think it is, provided they start gradually lessening the new releases on their system.  I'll also say that as a consumer, every time I see a game is going to be available both on the old and new Playstation, it makes me wonder how much is being held back by not dedicating their entire resources on the new system.

I'm too lazy to get into a game like UFC, but Jesus H. Christ this is the most realistic looking game I've ever seen. I legitimately thought that the first actual fight sequence was just video from a PPV.

I be more excited if the DUalshock 3 worked for PS4 now or better yet the Blu-Ray Remote.

Sony adding Dual Shock 4 support to PS3 is nice, but it feels odd to reward them for how shitty the Dual Shock 3 was by buying a new controller from them.

Not to mention the Dualshock 4 support right now isn't 100% yet. We still don't have rumble or SIXAXIS support on the Dualshock 4 yet.

And, incidentally, where the **** is that promised support on the PS4 for the PS3's BluRay remote that Sony promised way back when they unveiled the PS4 in February 2013?

You also can't use the PS Button. You still need the PS3 controller for that.

Seriously, how difficult is it to make drivers that work with the controller?  I understand if some of the new features will never be used with the controller on the PS3, but seriously, you can't at least get all the functions of the PS3 controller working on the new controller?  That is pretty lame.

So I played around with the PS4 quite a bit this weekend. First was UFC, next was Outlast, and finally Fifa. Can I first say that I hate, HATE, the trackpad. In any intense moment, I'm liable to hit it because they made it a fucking button as well. Secondly, the light on the controller is just annoying when playing anything in the dark. For instance, with Outlast, it was like a damn flashlight.

Now the good things. UFC is awesome. It looks great and plays great. The only thing I hate is how difficult it is to submit people. It's not that hard if I already have excellent position. You're not going to get out of a chimora simply because this mini-game is complete ****. Against the CPU, sure, you can definitely submit them, but any real person playing and it's impossible. So every fight we had always ended in a knockout. Speaking of which, because there's no submissions, fights rarely lasted longer than the first round. There's no point in a takedown unless you get rocked, and even then you can dodge around the octagon until you feel better.

Fifa is Fifa. **** don't change, nor does it really need to.

Outlast was by far my favorite game. So scary. Probably the scariest game I've played since RE1&2. You enter this pychiatric ward with nothing but a camera. You can't fight. All you can do is run and hide. You need to document anything important and also use your night vision extensively, so exploring and finding batteries is crucial. But maaaannnnnn......I started out on a mode that was one hit kill. Needless to say, it was intense. Hiding under beds, in lockers, bathroom stalls, vents; where ever, trying to get away from lunatics with machetes and surgical equipment or huge dudes that rip your body from your head. You read right; your body from your head. Worst part about the game though is you don't know who's going to attack you. Some people will just ignore you, while other's will chase you down. Freaky.

I just bought a new 2 TB hard drive for my MacBook, so I threw the old 1.5 TB one in my PS4. Swapping the hardware was simple and straightforward, but there's no one step backup and restore option like on PS3 or Vita, so I had to backup saves one by one and redownload games the same way, which is clunkier than it should be.

I was just under 100 GB left before the swap, so while tripling the available space is nice, with my purchasing habits this is going to become a problem again, and it seems like there isn't a ton of potential left for the form factor of drive the system takes to grow much beyond the 2 TB that is the current ceiling. At some point Sony's going to need to let people plug in USB drive so I can get some 8 TB behemoth on there.

SONY announced 10 million PS4s sold worldwide. With the terrible sales in Japan, that's pretty damn impressive.

Well they just blew past Dreamcast lifetime sales next hurdle, Game Cube. Wanna place bets when they soar past those numbers? I am thinking at this rate maybe by early Spring, or even by years end (take your pick calendar or fiscal)

Sony is expecting a 2 billion loss this fiscal quarter. Its sad becuase they are actually pumping out some really awesome products from their Playstation and Mobile divisions right now, but can't get any traction in any market due to having crappy relations with the carriers and they can't spend their way to the relevance they need like Samsung and Nokia were able to do.

Well, if you didn't already think the Japanese gaming industry was worthless and beyond the point where it could be saved (at least in terms of console game development), the two Sony TGS press conferences we've had this month made that point loud and clear. -_-'  When the only reveal you have for a night is a masturbation simulator (Monster Monpiece 2), complete with trailer of girls stripping, it's time to close up shop on the Japanese gaming industry. *sigh*

Sad to hear about Sony's losses, especially since it's just about every division except the PlayStation division that's dragging them down.

While that is probably true.  I didn't even know they were an actual player in the phone space anymore.
