    From the looks of this and small images of PS4, both companies arent f'ing around with overheating issues.
    Looks like a shit ton of vents on both.

    Yeah, I don't think either company wants to deal with another red ring or yellow light.

    So apparently I need a Kinect to run the new Xbox? Is it going to come bundled with one? I have less than 0 interest in Kinect and sure as hell won't be buying one separately just to play Xbox games.

    Also, I didn't see anything about backwards compatibility. Will One play 360 games?

    Nope.

    Heres the side by side specs of both systems:

    So MS actually is using a 8GB DDR3 for it's memory. Wow. Just enforces the idea that this system is more of a hub than a gaming system. Sony's 8GB GDDR5 is waaay better...as is their CPU.

    Not sure what their thinking is here... :?

    How is the CPU better? The PS3 CPU was better than 360's as well and fat lot of good that did.

    Bullshit too in that it eliminates rentals as well, if I'm not mistaken.

    I didn't know the PS4 wasn't either. I thought they had a plan for that?

    The 4K compatibility is interesting for both systems, not that many people will be able to afford a TV for the next several years.

    Has there been much 3D hyping with the PS4?

    I dont think so. I think everyones starting, or has, realized that 3D tv is pretty stupid.

    Ha, depends on the media. Some things are quite neat.

    The PS4 CPU is 2GHz. Xbox One is 1.6GHz

    The "Cell" processor is more powerful than the 360's Xenon. Sony's biggest problem was that the system had far too little RAM. The 360 was able to allocate resources better as their CPU and GPU were on the same chip. They could rely on 512MB of RAM where the PS3 had a seperate 256MB of dedicated video RAM in addition to being able to share additional 224MB from the system RAM. Xbox's GPU was far simpler to work with.

    Yeah, I have a 3D TV. I tried it once and thought it was a waste of time.

    Idk, hope thats not the case if PS4 opts to go this route as well.

    Like I said, some stuff is good, some isn't.
