[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 575822, member: 43875"] I think microsoft have dropped the ball and really went the wrong direction with the new xbox where by comparison sony have basically created an ideal product. the xbox seems less powerful and more complex and they have taken the bold move to make their own chip with some input from AMD and are relying on fancy (fast but expensive) on processor memory to help performance. where sony have kept things cheap, simple and powerful with the combination of DDR5 and a significantly more powerful CPU/GPU that is much more familiar to the market/devalopers compared to the PS3 or xbox one. The end result is that it seems the PS4 will be cheaper, more powerful and an easier platform for developers than the xbox one. Where the xbox one is trying to be much more than a gaming console. with MS also devaluing the 2nd hand/rental game market and info that internet connection will be a requirement.... I think PS3 owners will stay with the playstation and xbox owners will have a lot of reasons to switch to a PlayStation. For me any anyone similar who just simply wants a gaming console there really is only one option from these two - the playstation. The market is getting more interesting though with many lower cost options like the Ouya and gamestick. And the interesting steambox not too far away and more and more talk of an Apple console/smart TV thing. [/QUOTE]
