    Pretty much identical on paper (aside from price). Too bad they aren't the same in practice.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wish I could use that beautiful xbone controller on the PS4.

    There will be 3rd party controllers, I'm sure.
    I have a feeling the standard PS4 controller is going to wreak havoc on my left thumb when playing Trials.

    Exactly.

    PS4 GPU more powerful, it's OS uses less ram and it's memory artitecture is easier for devs.
    GPU should factor in more this gen than last given the shift in way games are coded these days.

    These differences don't matter now, but they may later depending on how things pan out.

    The shame is, without all that DRM BS the Bone is a nice system.

    You do know you can play a playstation with the 360 controller with an adapter. They cost like $30 and have the option to make any button and trigger into rapid fire. If you like the xbox controller, than stick to it.

    You guys that talk about DRM and data stuff are too smart for me. I just wanna play, so playstation for me.

    Xbone has 3 OSes, so of course it uses more RAM. The cloud computing could allegedly bridge the gap, but that remains to be seen.

    And yea, the DRM is a huge steaming turd on the xbone. I can't imagine them not fixing it eventually. Unless it somehow sells well enough. I can see it being sort of like COD in that people complain endlessly, but still buy it.

    Both consoles seems bad to me. PS4 also no backwards compility (but shouldn't be a problem because I never had a PS3, but still, BS), and no indie games one xbone is unfair. No more 1$ games. (but also doesn't bother me because indie games are boring.

    We should rather buy a PC instead these next gen consoles, because PCs can do more possibiblities, faster web browsing, mouse which is 100 times faster than a controller cursor, 4x more games compared to consoles, notes with an office program, easier screen capturing, more HDD, can plug in controllers, no online fees, millions of mods, (if you like mods, but it can also be annoying if others cheat with mods), more powerful, you can switch to the internet in no time (like watching the forums while loading), no DRM, etc etc.

    Have you heard it? Go buy a powerful gaming PC! Even it's more expensive, it's still much cheaper and worthy at the end results!

    PC is not for me. People say that a mid-range PC that costs 600 to build will last for years, but I doubt that. Imagine spending 600 bucks to build a nice PC in 2006. Then compare how that computer compares to the current 360 and PS3 games. i am the type of person who would totally flip out if I cannot play a game on max settings, just because I know it is possible get a better experience. I cannot afford to keep a computer up to date that can do that. Consoles I do not have to worry about that.

    hate people that say build a pc do this for this much and get this graphics card . but they forget its still a pc with all the garbage that comes with pc gaming . the lovely crashes .constant upgrades conflicts .and the main one is that its a pc and i want a freeking console .so i can sit on my sofa with a drink and chill . and i just put a disk in and it ether works or not .no updates or crashes .(well sort of). .oh and i have a good pc already and i use it for computing and porn .thats what there for
