It's all well and good wanting, wishing perhaps for the next Xbox and a new Playstation console, but the reality is the desirability is often met with a number of pitfalls which present themselves to those who immediately rush out and buy them. In many ways, and regardless of how powerful, or feature laden the next gen consoles are, past experience should make consumers a little bit cautious. Here's why.
Mana surges back to life after all these years.
Following the announcement of an Xbox release for Predator: Hunting Grounds, Ilfonic has announced updates for the PlayStation edition.
One of the most famous painters of all, in The Master's Pupil on Xbox you'll get to journey through the masterpieces of Claude Monet.
I think I have finally done it... I found an article that will unite both PlayStation and Xbox fanboys!
Number 5 "Potential hardware issues"
I think everyone will have this in the back of their minds when deciding whether or not to purchase a new console on launch day. All we can go on is track record, we just have to be brave (or stupid :P)
Next Xbox maybe but PS4, HELL NO !
Trying to be as objective as possible here, but I don't think any of these things are going to apply to PS4, at least based on history:
1. Sony has already stated that they learned from their mistakes with PS3 pricing:

2. Obviously there's no list yet of games being made besides the few that have been revealed, but I think we can all agree that Sony's whole "thing" with PS4 is "games". Lots of games. I don't see Sony pushing PS4 so hard with games, then not delivering. It would be suicide. Plus, with how friendly Sony is with indies, I think this should be the least of anyone's concerns with PS4.
3. PS4 is easy to develop for, according to many developers. Games never take 100% advantage of the hardware at launch, but there's no reason why a launch game being made for a PC-like system can't deliver quality games on launch from third-party devs.
4. This isn't even worth covering, but I can't say he's wrong.
5. PS3 had hardware issues, mostly because the video card got too hot if I understand correctly. But PS4 has a small APU that runs on little power, I doubt overheating is going to be an issue. Although that 8GB of GDDR3 RAM could put out quite a bit of heat later on, when devs start utilizing it.
These are just my thoughts, not trying to upset other gamers/fanboys, I just don't agree with any points the article makes (besides maybe #4).
In All truth ALL consoles suck! because there not many games out on initial launch. The usually start maturing at the 3 year mark where you have a ton of games.
The ps3 offered blu-ray which was great though.
