Sony Have Backward Compatibility, live is only £40 a year which for 5 free games (yes mainly Indie) a month as well aint bad, Sony have allowed games to be shared DRM free and i could swap with my friends, Sony is cheaper as well, What we are saying here is PS4 is far better, and Microsoft have shot them selfs in the foot, And no im not a fan boy i haven't owned a Playstation before , i've had a xbox 360 and have a gaming PC but I can see my self getting a PS4

I have had both xbox's, but I reckon I will also be heading to the PS4, and keeping my 360 for games like GTA5 which wont be on the new gen consoles. Wont get one until next year though I reckon.

I. Like you Tom, leaning towards PS4 but not planning to spend that amount of money on either... Not unless they give them 2 wheels and an engine too.

I'll see how things really pan out over the first year and make my decision then. Don't want to buy a Betamax.

I don't believe there is any way one manufacturer will go for DRM and the other wont. If sony don't do drm microsoft will simply turn it off. I reckon the XBox will continue to do very well but this is probably going to be the last round of traditional games consoles. If the steambox comes out of course that will really upset everything.

Read a little more into that DDR3/5. Xbox isn't at that much of a disadvantage.

Games will be written for the Xbox first and ported to ps4. Which means ps4 will have to go through another layer to get to the game.

Oh and it's GDDR. There's a difference.

I know steambox wont matter if you have a gaming pc, but it will open up the market to new users (console fans). I have 360, ps3 and a good PC. I think I'll just build a new PC next year instead of getting a console. IMO they are considerably better and more flexible, not for everyone of course.

DDR5 doesn't exist.

The PS4 has GDDR5 which is different.

Or stop playing games and go out in the real world and have real conversations with real people while doing real activities instead.

We'll all live a lot longer once all these games machines stop being the focus of every waking minute.

Depends how you use the consoles but local multiplayer gaming does tick the boxes above. Its a shame the games developers have shifted the focus to online multiplayer. Games like fifa and black ops 1/2 work well
