OXCGN:
"The past few weeks have been a flurry of next-gen madness.
Leaked specs, rumored features, generalized release dates… it’s been absolute craziness.
Today, that madness climaxed with the PlayStation event held by Sony, where the veil was lifted on what Sony’s been up to.
It’s a lot of information, and we at OXCGN have got you covered.
We have one major question, though: Will the next generation belong to Sony?"

It looked good but certainly not ground breaking. Honestly, it looked like a Crysis game more than it does kill zone game.
Seriously, they went all out. Killzone looked absolutely incredible. Who said the leap woulsnt be that big this gen? I'm sorry but it put Crysis 3 to shame.
The way you can insta-access everything.....that share button! It's a dream come true for competitive gamers like me who want to share gameplay videos.
My mind is still reeling over how you can play a game whilst it's downloading....that's proper sorcery right there.
So much to mention....8GB RAM? Destiny looking amazing!
MS have to go all out to match this. Sony made it clear that GAMING is their priority and it revolved around that very strongly. I suspect MS won't be doing it in such strong terms but if they faff around gimmicks and apps too much then their fates are sealed I'm afraid.
But yes, the show was worth the wait. The war is on and Sony have struck decisively. Bring on E3!
Are you serious?. Most of the people here were like i want a 300$ dollar console and most of them said it won't be a big leap..
I'm very happy that sony didn't see n4g xD. I lowered my expectations but i knew that sony will blow us all again.
It wouldnt be the 1st time that Sony overhypes stuff and then people end up dissapointed(Home, remote play, etc). So hopefully they will really deliver on everything they are trying to do, but i wouldnt call it a strenght just yet.
As for the rest, more powerfull hardware than the competition, controller with (at least so far) some useless feature, good looking games, great 1st party studios. Im not really seeing that much difference from a PS3, everything is just amped up, which was obviously expected.
In the end, the one thing in my mind that is going to determine WHEN i buy it (because i know i will eventually buy all 3 and a fancy graphics card that blows consoles away)is the price. I honestly cannot see this thing being anything less than $500, 8gb DDR5 (5!), thats definitely not cheap. Add in all those fancy CPUs/GPU, hard Drive, new controller features and the new Playstation Eye... i honestly wouldnt be surprised to see another $600/$500 launch
In fact, respect to Sony for going all in even in light of their financial problems. They didn't sell out. They proved that they are committed to gaming and this is the first time, since the PS2 that I'm feeling that commitment from the outset. No more Kutaragi nonsense about pure entertainment machine etc;.Sony were humbled this gen and now we are going to reap the rewards.
It was already a pretty though sell back at that time, now it could be even more. Most hardcore gamers will see the value, but it takes more than that to make a profit
well i dont know, i actually see it the opposite way, not as in them making a mistake, its impossible to know how things will turn out, but actually for the price, everything shown tonight makes me believe even more that this console is going to be expensive.
The CPU/GPU are expensive, there is that other aux chip which is more money, the hard drive, the disc player, DDR5 memory is not cheap, and especially not 8Gb. And then add the price of the Move technology, plus the touch pad on the controller AND the new Playstatio Eye?? not to mention that if they wont charge for all those online features i have no idea how they plan to ever make a profit and get back the money spent on Gaikai.
This thing is definitely looking expensive. I would say Non move bundle (less HDD) $500 / Playstation Eye Bundle (bigger HDD) $600 maybe even a year for online subscription (or plus if they decide not to charge)
Proper focus on games with great social functionality and easy to build for architecture PLUS unprecedented accessibility and incredible power.
MS needs to do something big for sure otherwise Sony are going to railroad the competition. Hehe, this is getting serious. We are in for a real treat.
I really would have loved to see gameplay of Drive Club, but the trailer the I saw made me a believer.
Play. Create. Share. Sony went full force with that tag.
Wasn't so impressed by the 1st party software, at least as shown. I had hoped for something more ambitious and challenging out of Killzone - what was shown looked derivative, both visually and in gameplay. Infamous was an expected reveal, but is tough to judge without gameplay. The Witness looks interesting, but it's hard to summon a ton of enthusiasm for it, and it's only timed exclusive IIRC. Some good stuff from the 3rd party devs, though.
And let's start critiquing what can ONLY be an early build of the game.
Don't count on that, How hard is to make a game on a console has nothing to do with weather or not its exclusive, If that was the case then most games this gen would be exclusive to 360, Its the development price that determines the consoles a game shows up on and you can count on very few third party exclusives for either console seeing how next gen games will cost more to make.
@ The Disagreeres : You know its true. They never showed the console.
They can't give us all the details now.
I can only imagine how much more besides the unit and price Sony will unveil then. I can't wait to find out!
And to those that said it's too early for ps4,They want to stay in this generation consoles for 2 or 3 years and it can't be released this year i say go squeeze your selfs lol
It's true though. They didn't show us the ps4..
But still gonna keep my ps3 for one more year so the ps4 could have good library and updated hardware...
PS4 - new ways to engage.
720(?) - a new room
Wii-underpowered but unique gameplay experience, great 1st party games
WiiU-underpowered(though maybe not THAT BIG of a difference this time) but unique gameplay experience, great 1st party games
PS3 - More powerful hardware, some really cool looking online features, useless feature in the controller(Six Axis), great 1st party games(lot of variety), looking expensive, free online
PS4 More powerful hardware, some really cool looking online features, useless feature in the controller(Touchpad), great 1st party games(lot of variety), looking expensive, free online(?)
Xbox 360 and 720? that one is more of a gamble and not much can be said until something is shown, and i dont think we will have to wait until E3
So overall, if you loved PS3, chances are you will love PS4. But as for the other companies being ruined?? Nintendo is in a competition with itselft as usual, and we know nothing of the 720
