Did they get an intern to design the two consoles? I know its an x86 pc inside but making it look like a PC isnt really going to win any awards.

Yeah its more of a centrepiece for the living room than an actual full on game console. Not all that fused on the idea of it at the moment and that price is shocking then the fact looks like next gen games for both consoles is going to be around the 55 mark, will still get one though, it'll be worth the money just to have a quite console again sitting with the 360 for an hour is worse the same on the bike for the ears.

I don't think I'll be getting another xbox. I mostly play pc games now. Only one I'd buy a console for is gta, since it wont be out on pc. But they have said that gta5 wont be on the new consoles anyway so I'll stick with my 360.

If I get anything now it would be a playstation.

As above really ill be watching to see what games etc and how people review them

Well after that announcement I'll be getting myself a PS4, always had Xbox but they've buggered up this time.

Un less MicroSoft. Wake up asap the PS4 will quickly kill it off.
PS 4 X box 0...

They're not allowing back compat, and their charging for their online service.

the ps4 is looking seriously tasty .. I 'm hoping the controller feels better quality than the last one. It looks like it has a touch pad and also potential cloud gaming for old games with the gaikai service.

Microsoft better take note

PS4 cannot have backwards compatibility unless they shoehorned an emulator in there. Purely because the PS3 used a different architecture. Having a paid online service also opens the door for early DLC and more PS4 exclusives because they will have more money to throw at the games companies. They are allowing people to lend games and I believe they are keeping the ability to sell 2nd hand games too (unconfirmed).

Unless you have an epic internet connection, Gaikai isn't going to be that great. Imagine things like Skyrim being streamed, the amount of time it would take just to look around is appalling. It has to get the signal that you want to move, do it, then render it, then send it back to you. Unless you are 3 feet from the server and the server is hard wired to your PS4, you're going to have some shocking amounts of lag.
