  @ 15:10 Smartglass is a gimmick. Not all devices have Xbox styled control output so what’s the point? Must you also be a Live Gold member to use that? Sharing videos of gameplay is something Sony is endorsing with the PS4, unlike Nintendo’s backwardness. >Rushing product. They revealed first. Rush am confirmed. Puhlease, try to come up with a legit argument. You’re basically admitting that the 360 was rushed as it was also teh first, and had the highest failure rate of any console in history …
