Yeah it's true TAZZ4. While at GameStop this afternoon, I overheard the employees saying that they have inside scoup that sometime in 2017 MS XBOX one console will play PS4 games and Sony PS4 console will play Xbox One games. Bookmark it.
 
HAH. You know the funny part of all this is that Sony could never buy MS but Bill Gates alone could buy Sony from his personal account and not even care. These Sony fanboys need to watch out and not annoy MS too much before they decide to buy your Sony just for the lolz.
Sony buying MS looolool oh lord tears of laughter.

I read an article the other day about this on flipboard. I sounds like BS from the tone of the writer. If fact, he sounded like a fanboy

Why would Sony want the Xbox brand? Franchises maybe. But the brand? No.

I know, right? Because Sony is in the financial position to be buying up Microsoft properties, lol. Talk about silly fanboy fodder.
 
Sony isn't in position to do jack. What people don't realize is the success of the ps4 is only making up lost ground for sony.

Yeah because Nintendo is just selling off their IP's left and right....:meh:

Nintendo's Ip's are HUGE still... Wii U's games are the exception as is the Wii U's console success.
Much more popular then Xbox's IP's and Consoles.
Its very foolish when people right off a brand that's been a proven winner in gaming(winning console generations) and praise a brand that has always come up short.

Yes, the 360 was a failure. Halo is NOT a lucrative property, nor Gears. Xbox One is NOT selling well and didn't start out stronger than 360 in its first year, with sales improving after. The only thing coming up short is Sony's financial statements every single quarter...and your sense of reality.

And the original Xbox outsold the GameCube. Keep in mind they released within a week of each other as well.

Yeah, with Nintendo, it really boils down to the properties anymore. I liked the Gamecube a lot actually, but console wise, it was too little, too late... just like WiiU, IMO. The last console to do well was the Wii, and that did little to keep their important franchises afloat. I doubt they would sell their franchises because that's all they've got for the console space anymore. I'm curious to see what they end up doing. A mighty portable that has HDMI out? Might work.

Wii was a genius business move and at the same time, was the most destructive one they could have made, in the long run. I think that a lot of people who grew up with Nintendo have moved on after so long. Not everyone, of course. It's just much more niche now and they let that slip away while happily sitting on their cash cow that was Wii. N64 was their last hit console before that. I say this while also loving Nintendo games, so I hope nobody thinks I'm hating. I am also not really a portable player, so that makes a difference.

Also on that note, the Original Xbox was a successful endeavor that lived the life it was supposed to. It just didn't make them money, as it was designed to just be a foot in the door. It was
