see i have small hands and prefer the 360 controller
The 360 pad is perfect in mo opinion. The only time I've ever wished I was using a Dual Shock was when playing Dark Souls and having to hold LB all the time. Much preferred holding down L1 for hours on end in Demons Souls lol.
I wouldn't let a controller affect my console choice but I do prefer the 360 pad. Prefer the throw of the sticks and the triggers, massively prefer the 360's triggers over the current PS L & R 2 buttons. Having said that, obviously the PS pad has the superior dpad and I do prefer its face buttons. Over all though the 360 pad takes it for me.
Got to say how Gaikai works with the PS4 is probably most interest to me on Wed, really hoping that PS+ just turns into a rental service where the whole PS3 back catalogue is available to be played via it.
Only other thing Im interested in is looking back at the combined Orbis and Durango rumours and the ones that had Orbit specced correctly have a great chance having Durango pegged too IMO - should hopefully mean weve got a better idea what both are bringing out then.

I think Sony have done it right by announcing first.
A next gen system has not been shown yet so the buzz and hype is off the scale for it's unveiling. By the time Microsoft announce their new system, the hype won't be to such fever pitch levels as we will have already seen what next gen is going to be about with the PS4.

Didn't Kazuo say they'll be releasing the PS4 after the Nextbox?
Not really if the rumours are correct and its got the inferior spec its hard to see why people would go for it when the PS4 is a couple of months later, its like buying a new smartphone when theres a slightly better one only weeks away. Specs arent the be all and end all though, but makes people second guess...
MS need more than a couple of months to make an earlier launch really work, personally I need them to bring out some awesome launch titles to pull it off and stop people waiting - thing is MS are far more likely to pull something like that off than Sony are, think they are far more confident in what 'ecosystem' they are trying to build and may just be a slow burner at first...
EDIT: It would be such a coup if MS stole the Apple model and announced the console with near immediate availability, bet it make some fence-sitters jump their way...

Some people wouldnt. I'll just buy what comes to the market when it comes to the market. I kind of hope its the PS4 that will hit first though as last time I had a 360 first, and didnt get a ps3 for aaaages. Would like to try things the other way around this time

Agreed, does sound good but you'll no doubt require a great connection to have a great experience.
Do any of you use Steam? Is so whats it like?
Id wait until the better specced console was out and then make my choice. If we consider your original premise, then surely everyone should be buying the Wii U right now because it launched first? Or is it people are still waiting for the PS4 and next Xbox to turn up?
TBH Sony values are just closer to my needs in that Im not a massive online gamer, Id rather have a game with a decent involving identity - MSs lack of exclusives that interest me and their seemingly continued movement to not really employ their first party teams outside of Kinect implementation will never capture me as a customer. If the PS4 is as capable as the next Xbox when it comes to multiplatform games, its an easy decision to make and thats ignoring spec differences. Sony at face value seemed to have learnt from the PS3 mistakes, I cant see how that isnt pretty much the biggest thing this gen for developers and us customers...
EDIT: Just saw your ninja, for the rumoured timelines I cant see MS having many weeks let alone many months it seems, unless people that argued that the holiday season is when to launch are happy to have the Xbox launch in June? Is that even a possibility really?

Wii U is not a next gen console though?
So your decision is to get the Sony machine no matter what, that is cool for you but does not mean your decision applies across the gaming market
LOL you like attempting to put words in peoples mouths, shame its so poorly veiledWii U is not a next gen console though?

. Of course the Wii U is next gen, just because the specs arent of what we are expecting of Sonys and MSs efforts, Nintendo are targetting it squarely at the PS4 and next Xbox, what actually makes you think otherwise?And if you think otherwise, then why question my thoughts on spec being vaguely important if youve already seemingly dismissed the Wii U for the same reasoning
Even before the specs were touted its obvious where Sony and MS believe gaming is going, or my own interpretation of it, anything Sony do to attempt to make multiplatform gaming a level playing field is a great bonus, but to not think that their entrenched shared values like developing first party games (ala Nintendo) wouldnt already make me slightly more interested in what they are releasing brands you somewhat naive.
Ultimately if the PS4 launches first, I wont be buying it until way after the next Xbox is out and make my informed choice then, I have zero impulse in being a launch owner, and considering Ive never done that in the past, its not too difficult for me to wait and enjoy what post-launch titles do to that potential decision.
Gaikai seemed to be less connection dependent than Onlive, though both needed a lot of work and investment on. Gaikai definitely seemed the most efficient so its definitely interesting what Sony will do with it, especially with Sonys interest in MMORPGs.
