Xbox 360 headset will not work with Xbox One.
Its been up in the air the last few days since Microsoft announced they would be selling their Xbox One headset separately, but Microsoft has now definitively said that old headsets will not work on the Xbox One in a statement to Game Informer.
Head past the jump for Microsoft’s statement.
Report: Google developing game console
Now this is more like it, I feel when Google decides to do something they fucking do it correctly. You ever used a Nexus 4, 7 or 10? Excellent devices. This is because Google made the android OS, they know exactly how to utilize it efficiently, better than the designers over at Ouya do anyway.
Nintendo defends Shit-ton of Mario
The Average Consumer: “Wow, Nintendo, you really are milking the cash cow with Mario recently.”
Nintendo: “Bitch Please.”
Somehow I imagine Reggie saying that last line, Mario hat on and cigar in hand.

Last week Sony released the 4.45 update for their PS3, promising it would ‘improve stability’. That it certainly did not. For some who downloaded the update it completely bricked their console and wouldn’t allow it to boot.

Watch the Pikmin 3 Nintendo Direct!
Nintendo Japan just streamed a Nintendo Direct video based around Pikmin 3, it involves Miyamoto chatting in Japanese to some comedian while they play the soon-to-be-released game, there is a lot of laughs so I assume he’s a good comedian.
Check out the video after the break.
Xbox One won’t come with headset… *sigh*
Nope.
Someone needs to kick down the door of the Microsoft headquarters, find the person who made this decision and give them a firm slap on the back of the hand.
Not so much that you hurt them, just so they know they’ve done wrong, so they can learn. Continue reading
Ouya founder ‘pissed’ at backers not getting consoles
Ouya Founder, Julie Uhrman
Really angry.
Julie Uhrman is pissed.
I can imagine being the founder of a company that doesn’t deliver on its promises to the very people who allowed the company to happen in the first place is quite stressful.
I’m betting she’s not quite as pissed as the backers though.
