Ps4 Officially Announced This Morning

[luke gtr]

I wasn't saying they didn't sell, just saying that they weren't aiming the console at serious games, but more the family market. if course they sold more, given how much cheaper the console is and how much more user friendly the games are for multiplayer and drunks, lol.

was thinking this.

missus is a nintendo lover, and always wonders why they dont upgrade the graphics on mario games.

I chuckle inside.

the new xbox is coping a beating on the net

lucky i was never going to buy it anyway lol

PS4 prices look very good too, none of this $1000 RRP crap anymore

[Hank Scorpio]

Nintendo have showcased a few games but their main push is of the Wii U, which came out end of last year (I think). No other console is on the cards.

Ah fairy nuff! I'm supposing the "Wii U" is quite similar to the Wii then?

This saddens me as I didn't like my Wii so much that I sold it a few years ago, lol.

nintendo is a thing if the past in the serious game market. they are aiming at the family market and kids. they haven't been at the forefront of console games since the snes imho. n64 had ok gameplay with the whole 3d world's, but graphics were boxy.

Yeah, I pretty much thought this. Disappointing for me but hey, they gotta' turn a profit somehow!

[dezz]

I'll get a PS4 when it's released, the release price is pretty reasonable.

Watch dogs looks good too

I was going to get a G27/cockpit setup for my PS3, but I might hold off now in case there's a new or different setup needed for the PS4

[EeLeYe]

For now I'll probably end up going with the PS4, but still best to wait until both systems are out.

Since the XB1 kinect is a primary part of the console it'll be better utilized than how it was for the 360 so I'm keen to see how well (or bad) they do this.

Both also have awesome exclusives too and will require payment to play online multiplayer.

Steam box ftw?

Schme.

Yes, the Steam Box is powerful compared to current consoles, but new hardware from Microsoft and Sony is due later this year. Worse, Valve will be launching its first console amidst strong marketing campaigns from these two giants. The Steam Box could simply be lost in the noise. (extract for the above article)

It's a cheap computer, yes?

[boiracer]

PS4 all the way!

[EeLeYe]

Microsoft does away with all used game restrictions and 24-hour online check-ins; region-locks also no longer in place.

[boiracer]

Figured this would happen

I was always going to buy an Xbox1, but...

PR SCAM

And the award for most bait taken goes to...SONY!

That's what I reckon, too.

Kinect and Xbox Live pwns anything Sony has and Xbox being the central hub of my house is going to be totally tits.

A friend and I were discussing the XboxOne saga the other night...

He'd heard something on the internet (insert credibility here) along the lines of Microsoft wanting to have the most powerful system with x amount of RAM, but then Sony matching that in their specs so Microsoft could no longer claim it...then Microsoft expected to win the pricing competition with PS historically being more expensive upon first release...thereby allowing MS to get away with a heap of DRM and exclusivity crap based on swinging consumers opting for the cheaper console regardless...then bam Sony says $400...Microsoft hold emergency meeting and can't do anything to adjust price, so they drop their competitive disadvantages (DRM bullshit) instead.

Still side with the PR stunt, but there are some interesting theories out there.

[iamhe77]

That theory sounds much more logical/plausable than Microsoft trying to pull a PR stunt IMO

[Albus]

PS4's look awesome, I have myself a PS3. I really want a 4 as well though. :s

[boiracer]

I still dont get whats so good about the Xbox..........PR stunt my ass, it's damage control after seeing the silence at their release, and the gigantic applause Sony got in comparison.

[scandyflick]

I'm actually pretty disappointed that MS back flipped. And I'm sure as Hell not the only one.

[vspecIInur]

Will buy either one in the near future when I don't want to spend 600 bucks for a half decent graphics card then spend another 600 to SLI/cross fire it.

The "problems" with the X1 didn't bother me in the slightest. I don't trade/buy second hand games, I don't tend to play old gen games, and my Xbox is online 24/7 anyway. What's the big f**kin' deal?

MS are building a steambox. Awesome. That's exactly what I'm after.
