12,000 comments so far. I bet the execs at M$ are wondering if they'll still have a job in a few months at this rate.
This is a PS4 thread... Try the Xbox one thread

I heard the rumours about the "nextbox" and hoped that they were baseless. I heard the announce and it really is that bad, PS4 for me, their announcement is 10x better. I'm glad that Sony have won this race, always preferred Playstation, never had an xbox, but xbox360 and PS3. Really looking forward to owning one. I think it was the disk install to drive and key per game, that put me off, also, I haven't turned my xbox360 on in a couple of months, so what would happen with the 24 hour authentication? I wouldn't pay 500 quid to have that rammed down my throat. It's not a plant that needs watering every day, it's supposed to be a games console.

Nothing like a sly dig at the competition.
Its telling that Nintendo havent had a peep of publicity, good or bad. They're no longer relevant to sony.
I don't think it's real on the basis that it would leave most people confused. Only a relative minority will have watched the XBox reveal and have followed the discussion. To everyone else, this won't make any sense.
Possibly is real the url for that image will be flying around different boards right now. And the xbox one highlights video is going viral. 5.4 million hits since its presentation.

If they can somehow make the PSN store useable and not a clunky, slow, unresponsive piece of dog poop, then they have already succeeded.
Seriously, why did they ruin the PSN store? It takes forever now to start it up and when you are in, its likely to crash or freeze.
Controller looks really nice.
I also like the new controllerI grew up with the PlayStation pad. So it feels more comfortable amend natural than the Xbox controller anyways. I have no problem with my PlayStation store !? :s
You dont find it slow compared to the old store !! cause i do, it looks great, but takes an age to get something to download, and scroll through pages.
Why do i need to add a Demo to cart then go to cart to download !!

the reason why psn is so slow is because of the pitiful amount of RAM in the ps3.
it's definitely not the cell CPU holding it back. so therefore with the new ps4 having 8GB of DDR5 I think the bottleneck will most likely be the CPU this time round as the RAM is simply something we have never used before for system use.
the only thing that is going to stop the ps4 from succeeding is price or a high failure rate.
the cheaper console tends to be bought by everyone (kids and adults) and the more expensive console by adults (due to price), kids are a much, much bigger market but they do not have as much disposable income if any and rely on their parents to purchase so they opt to buy the cheaper console.
if you had to ask me which was the better console, i would say the 360, but it's high failure rate destroyed it for me.
ps4 has fixed a lot of the problems the ps3 had, no headset input being a major one, cross game chat, better OS and store, etc, etc.
the only problems i can foresee therefore now are pricing, because sony have always made the better consoles with low failure rates. if they price it right to capture both ends of the market (kids and adults) they should overtake the "one" in sales, if it is priced too high and the "one" is cheaper, they are going to lose out on a lot of sales to kids.
people on here are going to say having less kids online is a good thing, but if it makes the console less successful, it is a bad thing, publishers and developers would be more willing to give exclusives to the console with more buyers.

The playstation store is a complete and utter mess, laggy, takes ages to load each screen, and they added like an additional few pages to just make a purchase or download a demo. I cant believe they have stuck with it to be honest, i would have preferred the old style anyway

Sony have really upped the ante for the PS4. The marketing budget must be huge. Almost every other computer game related YouTube vid starts of with their PS4 advert.
Can't wait to get full details on the system.... I think I might go into hibernation for a while.
