Ps4 or Xbox 720

jimmyjoe951

Just out of interest what is your opinions on the next gen of consoles?Which do you think will do better in sales? Are they coming out to soon( supposedly will be out by Christmas next year )?who will get better exclusives ? And the price?
In my opinion I think if more developers were making the most of the systems (gta gow uncharted halo ) then there wouldn't be much of a push to upgrade

jimmyjoe951

Also obviously which one can you see yourself buying:)

Atari jaguar still will kick either of their arses

720 at least that backwards compatibility for previous consoles xbox 360 and xbox games discs

Heard Certain titles will come out on both. That's not one of them isit? In any case. Naughty Dog are exclusive to PS and everyone of their games so far has blown my mindhole

I don't think I'll "jump in" so blindly this time around, I was burned with a launch day console, or should I say 3 of them...

I think the thing that attracted me to the Xbox in the first place (games!) seems to play second fiddle to the endless apps and social ****e I don't really care about that they have nowadays - whilst I'm interested in the new Xbox I have to say the PS4 looks brilliant...

Apparently Kinect will be mandatory, eugh...

And I have a PS3 also but its my least used console tbf - so wondering should I bother with either and just get a PC...

I doubt it in terms of major exclusives since porting would be an absolute whore. Could be available on the streaming service alright

Until they decide to sort out all the fucking bugs that destroy the consoles, I won't be buying either.

This crap REALLY turns me off. There seem to be too many games that throw in the single player mode as an after thought. I much prefer to play single player, other people piss me off too much.

The Pheasant

I'll be getting the PS4

Impossible to say which will sell better. As to which I'll buy? Probably both. The question I have is which first, and when. And that is, again, something impossible to say. I got the regular Xbox, and I got the 360 because just as I loved Morrowind, KotOR and Jade Empire, I knew Bethesda and BioWare were going to come out with brilliant games. At the time, they were console exclusives to the Xbox, so it seemed like the only way I'd get to play their games would be 360.

There still are great games for the 360, and there are ones for the PS3. I think the winner of the two for me has to be the 360, but the PS3 obviously did enough to say I bought it. It seems logical to figure the next generation will be the same for both systems. I'll also be getting the Wii U. Windwaker HD, Bayonetta 2, any other Zelda games, Mario games, and if they get JRPGs like The Last Story or Xenoblade, but with the way sales are at the moment that doesn't look too likely.

Honestly, the sales momentum for the Wii U is very poor. Yes, it may pick up a lot as more games get released, but around the end of the year, the market is going to be highly competitive with two rival systems being sold. Anyway, I'm looking forward to E3 and see what the 3 of them have to show. Sony have shown a lot already, so it'll be interesting to see if they have much to show at E3. Well, they'll show what the console looks like, anyway.

But the Kinect and social apps won't detract from the games. It may even enhance it.

I'm thinking 720. Well, I will anyway. All my mates own xBox and we all play CoD together. So it makes little sense to get a PS4.

But even then, Sonys events have been lack luster and so have their products. I'm not expecting much from the PS4, but I might be surprised.

EDIT: BTW, the xBox operating system is being designed by the guy who designed NT4 and XP. So expect stability. Plus I forgot to add, I'm hoping they get full skype intergration up and running. That'll mix in nicely with the Kinects webcam. Windows 8 (for tablets and phone) is a great OS so I'm hoping they won't disappoint with the nextbox.

If I do get either one, it'll be a few years down the line. Not to mention I'm sound with my PC for the moment

With the ps4 coming out this year why are Sony releasing such massive titles such as last of us and gta5 on ps3?if they released them on Ps4 surely more people would run out and buy it but with the games coming to ps3 there's no need to buy the new console for a while.It doesn't make sense to me ...

Xbox has no games and why the fuk would anyone pay €50 just to play online on the game you already own? PS4 is the way to go

im just saying if ive pay a fortune in ps3 games, now going keep my ps3 console and buy ps4 at €600

The playstation 2 had relatively big releases coming out for PS2 for the year prior to the PS3. Grand Theft Auto would get far more sales on the existing consoles than it would as a launch title. There's never strong launch titles on consoles, in fact generally they're fairly lacklustre and barely utilise the hardware. Both the PS3 and 360 are rather ancient as hardware goes so an update is somewhat necessary.

Completely different architecture to what the games have been built on plus a userbase takes time to grow. Financially it makes sense to release on an established console instead of hoping people rush out & buy the console purely for the game at launch

GTA IV grossed $500,000,000 in its first week. GTA 5 is likely to outdo that.

If they released it as a PS4 title there's no guarantee at all that they'd come anywhere close to those type of sales.

Id say theyll keep basic playing of games free, have 1 tier for all the uploading & other social features then have the higher priced tier replacing ps+

Night in the turkey house and two acid is better than any computer game. Might even be the best sex you ever had if you get the right trip.

I also read somewhere that the next Xbox will have to be connected to the internet at all times in order to work and play your games. You're also going to have to install all your games on the HDD, knowing Microsoft they'll charge through the roof for that special hard drive.

With everything I've heard the next Xbox is a weaker and unappealing console compared to the PS4.

I think they'll just have the system they have now where plus has a few extra features and you get free games on top.

To me that's a far better deal than Xbox gold where you get nothing at all from it. I've already made my €35 I spent on ps+ back 3 times over.

I actually made my decision a few weeks ago. Neither. Im done with xbox gaming, this is coming from a guy playing since the first xbox and gaming online a long assssss time. When I think about the cost of say an xbox or ps4 new at launch its very steep you looking at 400+ easily. The console will then have a life cycle of 10years? 10 years is a long time in terms of gaming and computers, hardware gets outdated very fast.

I have decided to build a computer it will destroy any new console that comes out and will continue to do so years to come. The when my graphics slow down, I sell my graphics card for whatever I can get, and upgrade to a new one and off I go again.

Granted I may lose certain games but who cares, ps4 is using an amd architecture I figure games will only be getting easier to port from here on out. And the new gears of war was crap anyway My two cents

Tombi!

Be getting a decent laptop or PC, TBH.
But, if push comes to shove (as in we get good exclusives, like the Yakuza series or the Way of the Samurai series on the PS4), I'll be getting PS4.

I'm a playstation fan and never gave xbox a chance but always considered getting one but have been happy playing away with the playstation.

God! I remember the day when the ps3 came out. I think it was sometime in early 2007. Had a ps3 prebooked and went into town for a midnight pick up. Time flys by, it's so scary. I remember it as if it was yesterday. The playstation that was bought is still going good today. Can't believe it's almost time to replace it with the next.

So! What will the playstation 4 be like? I mean like, ps3 has been very good and still is. So how will the ps4 differ from the ps3?

Have both consoles now, xbox live is far better than psn. Playstation better for watching bluray (cause you can't on xbox).

Xbox better for online gaming, movie streaming and music playing.

Xbox much better cross platform support.

Playstation store better in the sense you can pay with real money rather than points, but xbox store better in the sense that it has a lot more and a lot better content.

If the game is on both consoles, I buy ps3 if I won't play online, otherwise xbox. With the exception of the xbox games that currently come as a set of coasters rather than 1 disc, but I suspect that'll change next time round and both will come with bluray drives as standard.

Bluray saved the ps3, there was a sizeable number of people who bought one cause it was at the time a cheap bluray player.

I suspect that ultimately I'll end up owning both the new consoles, but it'll be the 720 first no doubt.

I have both a 360 and a PS3 but i'll be buying the PS4 first because i always buy a Playstation first.

Why?

Because i do.

Better start saving so.

As far as I can remember with ps3 it was due for release a few months before they went on sale, but the release date was pushed back.

It was mentioned here in this thread that the ps3 is due for release later this year but I doubt we will get to see the new one before xmas and they'll push it in 2014, more than likely. Plenty of time.

That's strange. My ps3 is 6 years+ old and never gave any trouble and is still going good.

Indeed, this is bad news. The first thing I plan on doing with my new super powerful PS4 is of course try to play a 20 year old PS1 game. The fact I won't be able to do this is shocking and very short sighted on Sony's part......

Just read some articles were developers were saying they doubted either ps4 or xbox 720 would be, they were right about the ps4.

We'll know for definite pretty soon if it is or not when microsoft unveil the new xbox in the next few weeks.
