I it doesn't seem like it really is to me. The RAM in it is, but the console as a whole hasn't been.

[QUOTE="jimmypsn"][QUOTE="tormentos"] Yet Sony worst generation = MS best one..:lol: Tied hardware wise vs a console that started 1 year late at $600 dollars..:lol:tormentos
Umm aren't you the one with kids. Why are you even here arguing over pieces of plastic. WTF!

News flash if you have kids you can't debate games...New Gamespot rule..:lol:

BS! That has nothing to do with debating/talking about consoles. It's about having a passion for gaming and/or a particular company's consoles.

[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="lostrib"]that's not really a good thing.  Sony lost quite a bit of market share while microsoft gained market sharelostrib

No but for all intended purposes claiming victory when you did just as bad as the 3rd one did is rather silly.. Yeah sony loss market share many to Nintendo as well,which is the market leader this gen... Sony loss so did MS there is only 1 winner and it was nintendo,claiming victory over second is useless,even more when you are tied... The xbox 360 was poise to do better come one it could not do worst with a 1 year head start than the original xbox did.

microsoft didn't really lose if they gained market share, as well as brand name recognition.

 

which mean nothing,Nintendo had it when sony beat the crap out of them,and Sony had it this gen when they lose to Nintendo,brand recognition doesn't save your product from failure,ask MS they know about it well so does sony.

no, the nintendo lost credibility with 2 subpar consoles in a row and the gamecube was average. they refuse to put money into their consoles and they are paying the price.

Yep lol:) Xbots are in an almost feverent frenzy to downplay the significance of the PS4 So much damage control and jelly going on. That should tell you right there how truly significant it is and will be. The fact of the matter is that 8gb of UNIFIED gddr5 ram is simply going to have many advantages... Along with the powerful and wholey effiecent cpu+gpu in the PS4, That is going to make the PS4 a truly next generation platform I.e meaning the PS4 will be highly efficient and will provide to be very powerful for gaming specific tasks and gaming means, And that it will be able to hit all its peak performances far more effortlessly then any other console etc. The PS4 will work as a whole (everything in conjuction) everything will flow, and it will be very powerful and efficient for gaming purposes(that's just another way to put it) Now by comparison, The kinect box 720 is heavily rumored to have 8gb of the slowest ram, which that already puts the kinect box 720 at a huge disadvantage to the PS4's gddr5 ram, But here is where it gets even worse for xbots lol, A lot of that slow ram in the kinext box 720 is said to be allowcated to the os and Kinect like features. Where as, only 1 gb of the PS4's 8gb of unified gddr5 ram is allowocated to its os. On top of having much faster ram, the PS4 will have much more of that faster ram to use for GAMING purposes etc. So all in all, You are going to see that the PS4 is going to have SIGNIFICANT advantages over the Kinect box 720 when it comes to every thing that matters in graphics and performance etc. So in other words, When it comes to actual game performance and what games look like and how games play like, the PS4 is going to soundly out perform the Kinect box 720 in every way. Any body in the know-how is aware of the fact that the PS4 is going to be significantly more powerful then the Kinect box 720. And also judging by how the past several years have went- With Sony's focus on games, and the pedigree of their first party studios, We know PS4 exclusives will simply be much better, that there will be more of them(more at a higher quality) and that there will be a more diverse selection of those awesome PS exclusives.... Where as lems will not only be getting a weaker casual Kinect focused console lol, but will also likely be getting the same old and boring Gears, Halo, Forza sequels shoved down their throat on a yearly basis all through out the next gen -with some Kinect spin off titles of those games occasionaly sprinkled in of course lamo! Microsoft and their drones really are become the running jokes of this industry lol

The 360 only had a measly 512 mb of ram BUT yet you Xbots would go on and on about how the 360's 512 mb of ram was so much of a god like advantage. Well now that the PS4 has 8gb of gddr5 ram, which that actually is significant, and that is a deal breaker, Well now all the sudden, you xbots are saying that ram doesn't matter and never did matter lol. You xbots made a big deal about 512mb of ram, yet are now dismissing 8gb of unified gddr5 ram. Just another reason why xbots are the worst group of fans on the planet! You xbots are hypocritical, and are down right insane. But regardless of that, go take your petty lemming b.s else where. No one wants to hear you continue to damage control OP

How do you determine when something is "overhyped." What about the millions who are truly excitied for the PS4.

End thread! We should be questioning you as a matter of fact! Are you a real gamer or not, because the PS4 is like the perfect GAMING console for core gamers.Send the right message that you want core gaming to stay and support Sony and the PS4.

Or how Gears/Halo/Forza being shoved down my thorat on a yearly basis is actually a good thing and how kinect is the greatest thing ever. Just GTFO you delusional xbot! PS4 all the way! Its the only GAMING console i want and will focus on Micro$oft and their sh*tty anti-consumer products are dead to me

So you xbots can troll for hours on end about the playstation, which that is actually damage control on your parts, but you cant read paragrahs And me writing simple paragraphs which destroys most of the garbage you xbots have spewed out some how means I'm the one damage controlling lol Further proving how awful xbots are. They can't even respond to my post and have to resort to petty coward like tactics Remember, these are two of the worlds most delusional xbots, along with miketheman83, harmless_rage, robbotopple etc Pretty crazy. This would be a good thread to round them all up though. Any body who agrees with either of them, thats how will we know you are an xbot not to be taken seriously! Also, im not suprised that thats what you got from my post. You are delsuional after all I'm not going to hold your hand like Gears of War and Halo do, and walk you through my post. Go back and reread it

@epicgameplayer. Wow dude. What did Microsoft do to you? This thread was about the amazing amount of hype the PS3 is getting on this board. Your post pretty sums up my point. But your hatred towards Microsoft is almost as crazy. Yes the PS4 looks like it will be a good console (on paper) but when you look at specs and hardware, it is a low to medium spec PC at best. A console really doesn't need to be much more than that. But Sony fanboys are just about ready to knock off their parents so they can gather the insurance money to buy this thing.

I'm sorry but what?:?

PS1, sony's first console, crushed the N64 in sales & popularity by a margin over 3 to 1.

The PS1 was the first gaming console to ship over 100 million units.

it's not really being overhyped, it's behind hyped by proxy via cows trying to spread baseless rumors about the next Xbox like always online and no used games, so the PS4 seems naturally better by contrast

Possibly, but with the rumours from the Xbox camp and the current state of the Wii U, the PS4 is gamers last hope for a great system.

Seriously can a new console really be over hyped?? I mean no matter if your a xbox gamer or a playstation gamer, the next 6 or so years these are the machines will be playing on, it's not like a game where it can be over hyped and then comes out and is shockingly bad. i believe what has been shown for the ps4 is very impressive for the next step in consoles, 8 ggdr ram is important for developers to create games without thinking about ram, the pc like components is all but going to help pc gamers, because games are being designed with pc in mind, so more developers will release games on pc. 
i don't believe people are saying sony's subscription fee is going to be worth it's more the fact you look at xbox and how much you have to pay just to play games online, compared to sony's ps+ which is offering the same as xbox live but with the option to get good games for free, which is an incentive to stay. what does xbox live offer, does it give away free games?? as much as sony do, no and for myself all i care about is playing games online and sony allows that for free i don't need all the other little bits you get with xbox live, i just want to game. the internet connection is good and i've had no lag ever, and the only ever lag i have had is from the game company servers and not through lag from sony's end and it's free.

ps4 looks great, the games what have been shown look good, the facebook and social media stuff look great for people who like that but that's only a side line thing. the ps4 is just a very positive console for both gamers and developers. here's hoping that the roamers for the xbox aren't true and we see a fresh look or if they do go down the route as a kinect/tv/games console.

How old are you 12.?

Because that is the only way you can say that,the N64 sold 32 million units the Snes 52 millions,and the PS1 sold more that both combined,the PS1 sold 102 million units,the first console to ever do this,sony maked consoles mainstream...

 

The PS1 obliterated the N64.

Nobody knows if subscriptions fees are manditory yet. People are just making half as*sed assumptions.
