Cows always believe the hype. Thus, will this gen be any different?

I still remember the days when cows talked non stop about how great the PS3 was going to be: its power will take 10 years to tap, run at 120 fps.... I bought a PS3 at its launch and it was garbage. Then, the praised all the exclusives came out so i bought another one. Well, after buying them all i still and still owning a PS3 i still like and play my xbox more.

Thus, the question i'm raising is from what it sounds the PS4 is all hyped up as it was last gen to be ultra powerful. Will history repeat itself?

Anyhow, i'mk definitely interested in the X1 for its dedicated servers, superior controller and seemly a really good launch line up. However, the major draw back i have against X1 is the fact they are pushing that piece of sh1t kinect on me. Nevertheless, i'm still on the fence about the PS4s power as well. If it is true that it is extremely more powerful i may be buying a PS4 just cause I don't want to have any lag issues with Elder Scrolls online as well as having the superior console version of the game. Yet, on the other hand, for me to give up on the X1 controller the performance of the PS4 must be head over heals better.    

I already know what the cows will proclaim, major ownage and blah blah blah, and quite frankly, its rather irritating listing to all their nonsense. To me it seems like they are waiting for redemption for how sadly PS3 was in the first couple years of launch. I would rather hear some unbiased tech nerds views if the advantaged the PS4 will have over the X1 will be substantial or insignicant.                                                            

After watching screens/footage of the PS4 it's hard not to believe the hype
Everything looks 100x better than X1 screens/footage

PS4 and Xbox One are shaping up to be the two best consoles ever - and i see them both selling like it with one hundred million units each

Cows do overhype anything with the PS logo, but PS4 has been getting hype from every front (third party devs, indies, Sony supporters, ex MS and Nintendo supporters, etc...). It doesn't look anything magical, like the PS3, just a well designed console.

yep we heard/read that many times.. These type of posts start with how Cows never change, cows never learn, cows believe the hype, Sony consoles are terrible bla bla bla..

Then all these posts continue with I'm getting an MS console because.... 

LOL you could have just said I dont like the PS4 and will get an X1 :roll:

Also even if some tech nerd told you PS4 is better, what difference will it make?? you've already decided on getting an X1 cause you think its superior.. just say you're a Lem :)

If you travel a little further back you will find they also hyped the weak PS2 with it's godlike Emotion Engine paired to a Graphics Synthesizer as the next coming of Jesus .

Sony told them that some Foreign villian country's should be prevented to get their hands on the PS2 as they could use them in series to unleash so much power they would be used to fire missiles and they believed this :P

Sony knows how to play the brainless drones they have as a fanbase, they even had them believe the PS2 had hidden powers to unlock later on  :lol:

Through your Sony glasses perhaps

ehh, i'm getting both, just haven't decided on which one ill buy first lol. Thing with PS3 is it left a bad taste in my mouth at first anyway. Things i like about it was PSN and it did get better over time. Anyhow, each new gen brings new hopes and disappointments. I would stick with just one console this gen but since the PS4 is showing so much promise, fueled in part by the cows, i don't want to get my hopes up to high then be let down again and not enjoy PS4 for what it is. Nevertheless, its still a big deal to me cause after buy which ever one i do first i'll have to wait 2 months for the other one. And, well, in the gaming world that's forever lmaoTrinitarian

Fanboys always boost their beloved consoles... Personally I wasnt impressed by none of them (Sony,MS & Nintendo)

From Sony I was expecting more announcements in the form of games from their 1st party studios & also I wasnt happy they didnt keep online gaming free..

From MS I was disappointed in general, but at least they changed most of their original 'plans' and hopefully will support the console through its whole lifecycle with exclusives unlike what they did with their previous consoles..

Unfortunately PS4 wont have free online...

I believe on F2P games can be played without a PSN+ subscription... 

At least PSN+ is worth it cause you get 'free' games, discounts, early access to stuff etc...

ps1 outsold n64

ps2 outsold xbox/gamecube

ps3 outsold xbox 360

sony always wins, baby

Although PS4 will have a performance edge I hardly think there will be a huge graphics difference looking at the hardware inside them.  A couple of things will be dialed back sure but without a side by side comparison I doubt the average person would even notice.   It certainly isn't going to ruin your enjoyment of the games.  It will likely have some nicer looking exclusives yes but at the end of the day it's the games you should be buying a console for. 

This is coming from someone who will be buying a PS4 first too by the way. 

Cows always overhype rubbish it's just the way they are, just look at them trying to hype trashy Killzone:SW.

PS4 is the most powerful games console ever made.:)

Actually there is nothing to "hype" this gen, there is no cell, no emotion engine, it's just straightforward more powerful console. No false hopes there.

This might be the most similar two consoles have ever been - both having CPU AND GPU from the same vendor. (has that happened before?). On the other hand, Xbots have to buy into the "teh Cloud" to be able to hype their console. Sony went with smarter, better hardware this time around. Microsoft is going with a marketing strategy. Good luck with that.

Killzone will score higher and sell more so you failed.

You talk to Davekeeh, Tormentos, or xboxiphoneps3, and they will tell you that the PS4 will out perform Deep Blue, Yeh, it is the most powerful consumer electronics device in the history of the world.

Of course, reality means nothing to them, nor do any sort of facts. They just scream "600 more GFLOPS and did you see the new Infamous?" and start to repeatedly wet themselves...

I just want the next Naughty Dog game...

Correction: Console fanboys (all of them) always belive in the hype, and no this gen is not any different.

Totally agree, aside from the 100 million each, I would say they will likely sell maybe 80-90 million each. :)

I think TitanFall looks cool, but I don't thing that is because of the Cloud, but I do think the Cloud will affect game play. And, I will also say that the PS4 hardware advantage is overblown, but it is still there.

That being said...

Just because there are some misguided Lemmings out there who think cloud based computing will increase GPU frame rates does not excuse what the Mad Cows do.
