SONY PlayStation 4 (PS4)

Intriguing size comparison of the old/new MS/Sony systems:

I'd like a thermal imaging comparison between the two contenders to see what's going on after an hour or two. Microsoft's machine is mostly vents, how have Sony managed to keep temperatures under control in there?

They haven't, I'm sure it will be an oven just like the fat PS3 was

I do like the form factor of the PS4, as the ONE looks like shit.

I'm no big Steve Jobs fan, but I have to agree with him in regards to the lines and image of hardware. MS is clueless in this area, and besides the slim 360, their systems are the ugliest in history. I know it's what's on the inside that count's, but come on. I don't think I'll ever even consider the ONE, unless they shrink it down and improve the looks. Absolutely terrible(size & design).

Influential EDGE magazine's latest issue has a provocative cover and headline story:

"Why PS4 is your next console and the Titanic errors on XBox One's road to ruin"



http://www.edge-online.com/magazine/e256-why-ps4-is-your-next-console-and-the-titanic-errors-on-xbox-ones-road-to-ruin/

They confirmed by Twitter that it was written after MS' DRM reversal, and covers that in the article.

Wonder if Mattrick got wind of this before his departure just a day earlier?

Either way..let us  hope XBOX learned from the infamous PROD..  After having 3 XBOX consoles suffer that fate I will never buy a XBOX console again. Even though the problem was finally remedied. 

Perhaps this is why the new unit is multi vented...yes.

I will always go with Sony. The only gripes I ever had with my PS3 was the long and frequent updates and the time when the server was out for 2 months. 

At least they did compensate owners for the outage by giving free games.

I will always go with Sony until they do something that angers me.

Fixed that for you

@pmprog...How dare you plagiarize me !

^ Fix your own font next time yes. <_<

If anger was the only reason for disliking video gaming consoles then I would not own any consoles at all. They all seem to have their own nuances,nooks and crannies.I suppose they always will. However there is a limit and XBOX crossed mine and there were other issues I had with them other than the PROD on 3 consoles. However that is another long story I am sure nobody would care to read about it.

I suppose I have something in common with a elephant...that is that I never forget. ^_^

I do not own a solar powered Pandora. B)

I don't get the "Fix your own font"? I didn't use any fonts, just added italics to the text I added to the quote to indicate I added it.

My point (maybe a little too subtle?) was that Sony are equally capable of crossing your "limit" too. They just haven't done yet... And what then? Still "always go with Sony"?
Anyway...

Maybe. If you're damned either way may as well go with the devil you know. The alternative is to go without a console, and for some people that is just too unfathomable.

^ italic font then... ..you are too semantical.

Yes I suppose tis the lesser of two evils. Again perfection is not the goal for that is delusional. 

My 'breaking point' will be different than others and so on. Both consoles are certainly not infallible.

From my experiences I would wager to say one of these 2 powerhouse --hyper commercialized  consoles will have a problem potentially requiring a recall.

Even though i suffered 3 0r four red rings i still preffered the xbox 360 over the ps3. In the early days there was some bad ports to ps3 and those updates, good god; I could have written a theses in the time i had to wait. Imo the xbox 360 exclusive games were much better than the ps3's. God of war 3 and motorstorm apocalypse were all i played on ps3 really.

Still i may go ps4 this time. Its a change and i kinda made my mind up when the whole xbox one drm thing was ongoing. Also im really liking my vita recently and ps4 connectivity might be cool.

I never thought I would say this in my video gaming lifetime but I am totally spellbound by the game Persona 4 Golden for the PS Vita. This has to be one of the most intriguing games I have ever played.

PS4?
Not Backward Combatible to PS3?
Then need i this Things not.
(Maybe in 5 Years)
When enough JapanRPGs found the Way to there

^^^^I believe backwards compatability can be provided via the cloud, but will we have to buy games we already own, physical copies of i wonder?

I read somewhere about it being an idea that if an original disc was inserted it could verify it, even though it couldn't run it, and give the owner access to the cloud version, but it was a while ago and I can't remember if it was just hypothetical or an actual plan..

20 Things you may not know about PlayStation 4

Interesting development...

Sony are apparently developing a rival VR headset to the Oculus Rift for Playstation 4, apparently it was to be unveiled at gamescom but will now be seen/spoken about later this month.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-03-sony-set-to-go-big-with-virtual-reality-on-playstation-4

Multiple sources have indicated to Eurogamer that Sony's VR headset will work similarly to Oculus'. Internally, the device has been demonstrated with Evolution Studios' PS4 racer DriveClub, with players able to look around the cockpit of a car.

Very interesting, could be bad news for Oculus if there is any significant tech advantage.
