Sony Wont Make The Same Mistakes With PS4
Sony Won't Make The Same Mistakes With PS4
Sony faced a couple of big hurdles when competing with Microsoft and Nintendo in this generation. For one, they launched with a price point that many found exorbitant. They also gave their competition a one year head start in the sales department. Apparently though, Sony has learned their lesson from this generation, and they won't be making the same mistake twice.
Since rumors have been running wild about next generation offerings from Sony and Microsoft, Sony has decided to throw another log on that fire and let us know that it would be "undesirable" to launch the PlayStation 4 significantly later than the competition in a recent interview with Eurogamer. There's still no concrete announcements from either the Sony or Microsoft camps about the timing of next generation consoles.
Analysts believe that the consoles will stretch all the way to 2014, but other rumors suggest that the consoles could be on the way much sooner than that... like next year. Nintendo is planning on launching the Wii U in 2012 and hopes to invade the "core" demographic. While both companies have downplayed the launch of the Wii U as a reason to evoke next generation systems from either Sony or Microsoft, you can bet that neither company wants to let Nintendo get out too far ahead.

I would argue that the PS4, Xbox 720, Wii U (or whatever they will be called) will all be for the win.
Competition will make all three better, and benefit the consumers in quality and price.

I love how they say they don’t want to release it a year later, but not at a cheaper price points. That’s really the only reason why PS3 bombed in the first place. It was too expensive. That and it had no games and it lost exclusives like devil may cry, GTA IV, and others.

What so Microsoft is just going to give you the next Xbox?????? you can expect the Xbox 720 will start for 350-450 dollars and the price for live is going to rise significantly so i hope you saving up now.

PS4, one can only imagine what innovative things will come with it. You know what would blow xbox out of the water? If the make an exclusive of a remake of Final Fantasy 7 and sell it at launch!!!!! PS4 wins FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Hot debate. What do you think?

It costs million of Dollars to make a popular franchise exclusive. You cant just say… “OOooh Make this game an exclusive”.
If you want to permanently bankrupt Sony…. tell them to make GTA V an exclusive…. then thats bye bye PS4.
Even I dont want that. There will be no competition next Gen.
…….Common sense…….

Lets see, final fantasy 7 is already a playstatsion exclusive. They dont need to pay a dime! Only new FF games are for both consoles. 7 was made in 97. So if they updated the graphics, its still ff7 and a playstation exclusive. Sorry man……

Again! Exactly in line with what I keep saying.
I guarantee that PS4 and 720 will be $399 on release and Sony will not allow Micro$oft to win the online market bet default like the 360. Although Sony has done a good job this gen keeping the loyal customers and even winning back some that want to upgrade to something nicer than the 360.

For Psn to reach the same amount of features as XBL. You guys need to pay online for better service, download speeds, better security.

@ cooldude and xbox would have to upgrade to a blu ray drive so it can have true hd gaming and all its games only b one disk each. Does xbox have built in blu tooth? Honestly i dont kno. Maybe controllers u dont need a cord to play with or have to pay for a charge pack. Possible motion controls built into the controller.oh and the best feature, no RROD

Made me laugh there. There are so much more games that run on 1080p in the Xox 360 than the Ps3. Most of them only run in 720p in that console. It because PS3 doesnt have enough memory to run it as smoothly as the Xbox 360.
Blu ray doesnt help HD gaming. It only stores more.

Common known fact bro, u are not watching true hd unless your using a an hd medium, hdmi cables, and an hd tv. U can play hd, but u wont actually be seeing the hd image without all 3. The 360 does not have an hd medium. It lays dvds……. Sory wrong again

If your talking about HDMI 1.3 and 1.4… theres where youre wrong.
Xbox 360 only offers HDMI 1.3… yes, I know..
PS3 offers HDMI 1.4….
They both have the same “resolution” same “frame” or same HD options… The only difference is uncompressed sounds. It does not affect HD gaming at ALL.
It only depends if your game can stream at 720p or 1080p. Which significantly more multiplats in the Xbox 360 can stream at 1080p and Ps3 only at 720p.

heres some logic. my 6970 cost $350. that means that unless the ps4 or xbox cost at least 350 they still wont be able to catch up to many modern pc`s.

Winner is Nintendo and I’m happy for them.
Loser is Xbox since it’s always selling the least and PS3 managed to catch up regardless of an entire year head start as the only next gen console and of course Millions of RROD rebuys and a $200 better price tag.
PS3 can take 2nd this gen. As long as Xbox has it’s rightful place as last place, seeing as it’s the biggest piece of $hit in gaming history with only the laggy, unresponsive Kinect competing with the 360 for the official tital of Biggest PIece of $hit.
It’s not rude if it’s true.

Im sorry, but kinect is not laggy and “UNRESPONSIVE”. Its got voice command, I play Kinect sports with my son and it doesnt seem to lag.
Also lets look at the math shall we?
Kinect sold 2 million in six months
Move sold 0.3 million in six months
Xbox 360 sold 57.9 Million
PS3 sold 55.4 Million
Xbox 360 Software sales 556.7 Million
Ps3 Software sales 448.5 Million
…
Get your facts straight. Pathetic fanboy.

First off, if you subtract 360s year lead numbers it has still sold more, again, buy both that way you miss out on nothing. Secondly, the price of Live has gone up $10 and $10 only, and go figure, there are more services incoming. Original Xbox Live cost was $50/year, now its $60, I don’t see that rising until the half life of the 720 or whatever they’re gonna call it. PSN should become a pay service so it can become more secure, more reliable, and just all around better. Good launch titles would help. Prepare for $500-700 consoles. Triggers on the controllers. Copy Live. If the PS4 does this I can see me playing it more.

I think the headline for this article is BS, So Sony had a security issue and a little spendy out of the gate….whoopie, what about the never ending list of faults and sub on subs and lack of innovation and exclusives from M$? If anything M$ should be paying more attention on not repeating the same mistakes again. Every XBOT out there is in denial about throwing money away on live and a pointless console and just about all defensive remarks like cross game chat “annoying as fuk” and security is absolutely retarded. Makes me wonder if these AOTF writers are micro fans as the articles bashing PS3 half the time are pointless and outweigh the bad sh*t we all “KNOW” about the 360. Long live Sony and Nintendo, Micro….keep your pay to play BS and faulty hardware, stick to Windows.
