Dude... ok let me put it this way... today's tv are pal secam ntsc etc... all those techs are in it... If you get region 1 disk for PS3 that is region 2... while it may work or works... trust me you cant download content for that game... And I don't see anyone who is even affected by how the 360 region stuff was last time... The 360 was by far the best console last generation or this generation... better multitasking... better graphics... better online experience... more apps... frequently updated... down side was no blueray... but how many people even buy blueray disc?

playstation lost the console war and xbox wins... I had never had the 360... got ps3 and homebrew hack in it... but all my friends had xbox and I say its the best experience.

didn't nintendo win the console wars? Cause they always have sitting in the background watching other companies decline in sales while nintendo has always had much better sales than the ps3 even with inferior hardware and games however games made by nintendo themselves always focus on core material and gameplay its so simple and yet nintendo franchises always receive greatest reception but all nintendo does is cash in on the same franchises over and over again and add new materials to what couldve been there in the first place if they had the hardware. My guess is that nintendo purposely makes inferior consoles because their motive is gameplay and immersion not necessarily quality and it satisfies its core fans with this splendid gameplay so what we don't actually know is that nintendo is slowly gaining the attention of every gamer like a virus for instance nintendo ported batman arkham city , darksiders 2 and mass effect 3 onto their latest console the wii u which is supposed to appeal to hardcore gamers as well as usual nintendo gamers . Also nintendo has beaten sony twice in the portable department the nintendo ds made more sales than the psp and had a much better reception than its psp counterpart same wuth the psvita versus the 3ds sony obviously has better hardware on the vita but sales are not as good as the 3ds in north america and even in sony's home country japan its only recently the psvita has had some decent sales in asain countries because of the promise of triple A titles like killzone and tearaway while nintendo has pleased their fans straight from the beginning with a handful of titles which have gotten way better reviews than a lot of the psvita games that are out. Anyway just saying nintendo has been winning the console war all along not in africa though but I don't know much about nintendo compared with microsoft . By the way what does homebrew hacking do to the ps3

Sorry if I wrote too much btw wanted my point to go through

damn!!u two need a tournament battle

awaeardfdfrfd: Sorry if I wrote too much btw wanted my point to go through

Some punctuation would have helped too.

Yeah Nintendo has arguably been the most profitable of the big 3 but in recent times they have started to experience slow sales. The Wii U their next gen console hasn't taken off with a buzz so it is doubtful that the success they witnessed with the Wii will repeat itself again.

I'm tipping Sony for the overall better console this time even though this is premature of me because they haven't fully disclosed what the features of the PS4 are.

@9games I know what am talking about and yes Xbox360 was superior in multitasking graphics and better online game I don't see what can compete with Xbox live... I told you I have never own 360 but yet am a fan boy... am a Microsoft fan yes... when I was in Nigeria I had Ps3 cos I cant experience good internet and I don't want to spend much buying Cds... so I use the Homebrew for PS3. Now am in the Uk only one person I know Own Ps3...every other of my friend Have xbox... Even when fifa2013 was out the line I saw for xbox buyers against PS 3 was 10 to 1.

360 is the standard for which games are developed... Consoles are holding the power od PS back because most time the Games are ported to pc from xbox and to ps 3 also... Goto youtube type graphics comparison Ps3 vs Xbox and be surprised...

the Ps3 cant even multitask properly that is why you have long update time... Yes internet speed is 20mega byte per second you can download one gig of movie in les that 1 minute but the ps 3 is still painfully slow and you can check that online also.

the xbox was updated with features every year making it new... smart glass etc... while ps 3 was downgraded removing Linux os support backward compatibility support.

Nintendo wii makes money but they lost the battle why because of their targets are kids... most kids will just play it and don't think of upgrading the console if their parents don't make the decision... that is why Wii U is selling like snail slower than the Xbox now in Us and uk that has been leading sales for over 2 years straight in the US...

You may call me fan Boy but it does change anything... what I have said is a fact you can visit Youtube and knock your self out with the comparison...

also the ps 3 blueray was a waste... only 2 percent of the games makes full use of it... like metal gear solid final fantasy etc... 98% are just DVD...

^^

Will you stop with the FUD already! Gosh

Your post is riddled with too many unfounded statements that it hurts to read.

360 is the standard for which games are developed...

Says who? This is just ridiculous, developers built console games based on PowerPC architecture, an architecture that both the X360 and the PS3 were both structured upon. PC games are based on the X86 architecture so saying that the X360 is the standard for developing games doesn't make sense at all.

the Ps3 cant even multitask properly that is why you have long update time... Yes internet speed is 20mega byte per second you can download one gig of movie in les that 1 minute but the ps 3 is still painfully slow and you can check that online also.

What in the world? Please tell us what you mean by multitasking in a game console then show us how the X360 carries it out and how the PS3 didn't.

the xbox was updated with features every year making it new... smart glass etc... while ps 3 was downgraded removing Linux os support backward compatibility support.

Both the X360 and the PS3 receive regular firmware updates so what are you talking about? The X360 has the smart glass application, the PS3 has the cross play feature with the vita. Kinect and Move are motion based accessories for X360 and the PS3 respectively. Both consoles saw similar lines of feature additions so saying that the PS3 was left 'un-updated', if there is such a word, is just untrue.

How can you say the Bluray player on the PS3 is a waste? Maybe you didn't have need for it but there are many other users who found it a useful utility. It is obvious that your observations are highly subjective and far from accurate. Matter of fact I don't have the strength to continue dissecting your unfounded statements - it is tiring.

recent rumors reveals that Xbox one is expected to cost more than ps4

9ineGames: recent rumors reveals that Xbox one is expected to cost more than ps4

yes I heard 600 punds for it while the ps4 is gonna be on the range of 400 dollars to 459 which is equal to 300 pounds I think not sure

If those rumors are true then guys at Redmond have lost it.

"With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies."

how game licensing works for xbox one:
"Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time."

how to borrow your friends games on xbox one:
"Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once."

^Its still a hard sell no matter how they cut it at this point.

from what i can tell(Microsoft)is trying to shift the blame on developers ..

Even from the latest clarification from MS about the whole DRM thing, the Xbox one is just a mess.

So let say after i buy the xpensive Xbox One i will be forced to get an internet connection and also have to worry about my data cap and subscription if i wanna play game.
We don't have good networks in Nigeria and the data limit we get here are ridiculous.
A friend of mine got Swift 4G recently it couldn't even burst pass 200kb/s. lol @ 4G

Microsoft are just being stupid and greedy. The current generation of consoles doesn't have any DRM shit on it yet games like HALO, COD, GTA, Red Dead Redemption and many more broke pass millions of sales. How can they not be satisfied by that? I don't see any excuse for this new second hand game policy because its a greedy bull shit!!

Some Xbox One games that makes use of cloud will require constant internet connection. This is another rubbish because am sure most 1st party games on the console will use this feature. I didn't know MS can be this stupid, instead of relying on the consoles power they are cowardly relying on cloud which is almost impossible in Nigeria because of our slow network and expensive data limit/cap.
So that's why MS used a weaker GPU and a RAM slower than the PS4 because they want to rely on Cloud **FAIL**

Seriously if the Xbox One launches like this i won't accept it if its given to me for free becos i won't go through all that nonsense Policy shit for a game console.
How will i be gaming with a console that checks in every 24 hours with the internet for rubbish reasons.

PS4 is the last hope of Gaming now i hope SONY doesn't screw up too.....

Nicca, the PlayStation 3 might have lost out to the Xbox 360 in the last generation, but how about the generation before? It's a landslide victory. The PlayStation 2 is the highest selling console of all time! 150,000,000 copies sold and still selling compared to the Xbox's 77,000, 000 sold!

Fast-forward to the new generation, PlayStation 4 is already well ahead of the Xbox One in pre-orders. I was initially going for the Xbox One until Sony's unveiling of the PS4 at E3 2013 on Wednesday.

A $100 cheaper price tag, no online connection requirement, no used game restrictions.

Team PlayStation 4 all the way!
