November 22, 2013
We've been anticipating the new NBA Live 2014 for a minute. We're serious fans of the game and so with the release of the new PS4, we set a date to purchase everything on the 22nd of November. The 2K series just doesn't measure up to the game play of Live, regardless of what some consider to be better in terms of graphics, or features...the game play itself just doesn't do it for us. Especially the 2K13. Rondo looked like a senior citizen in that game. Even as old as NBA Live 10 is, its still the basketball video game of choice in battles with our favorite squads...be it the Lakers, Celtics, or Heat. Since 2009, despite the availability of the new 2K games we've been working with the dated rosters of Live 10 awaiting EA's return.
On the 22nd, no store in El Paso was carrying a PS4. Everybody was sold out, supposedly. Between PS4 and the new XBOX, I wonder how much revenue got exchanged out there. As high demand as these systems are, I'm surprised by previous reports of a platform like Sony ever losing money. How does that work?
