I'm expecting £350 to £400.

But I'm not spending that much money on a console when my PC play games better.

Everything.

Graphics and performance. There are so many things that are categorised in graphics such as anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, textures, draw distances, density of objects, effects, DX11, tessellation, etc.

Performance is the one that makes PC games much more enjoyable. Console games are capped at 30fps (drops below that often, actually) and PC is open to performance depending on the hardware. It's mostly 60fps for me.

I also have the choice of playing games on the keyboard & mouse or controller.

All those are done by the PS4 GPU,oh and the PS4 has features over DirectX 11.1+.. PC if even more of a mess because some GPU can keep constant frames other just plain don't,and the majority on Steam are under power vs the PS4,Titans,680GTX,7970,670 and all that sh** have very low adoption rates because of its price,so most PC gamers now by steam play on hardware under power vs the PS4.

 LOL at your comments

"steam survey says pc gamers dont have specs better than Ps4"

Such horrible logic , its like saying everybody has a ps3  so when the ps4 launches  nobody will upgrade to ps4 because they all have playstation 3's.   WTf am i seeing here.     

PC gamers upgrade when they want to upgrade, The majority of steam users using average video cards is up to them, Obviously most will not have specs stronger than a ps4.   I fail to see how this is like some reasoning as to why ps4 is stronger than pc's?  .   You still gotta go out there and buy that flippin ps4 to have specs stronger than a ps3.          Same for pc, You gotta go out there and buy specs that rape the ps4.  

This logic you consolites have is terrible.   When a hermit feels like upgrading, that hermit will upgrade. He will not be dictated to when to upgrade. If hermit is satisfied with performance lower than ps4. That is a satisfied hermit!

 

 

When we talk about the advantages of pc gaming over console, Nothing you can say rebutes it, because pc is THE MASTER RACE. There is no such thing as limited CPU or Graphical power for 5+ years, Every year pc hardware gets better.  There is no fathonable way a console can even compete with a pc hardware wise, so stop trying to pretend it can. 

PC is the master race, not because an elitest says so, but because its true..   It can emulate every console, Create the games you actually play and has the sky as the ceiling for how strong you want your pc to be.   Tell me what console specs could beat 2 titans in SLI?  nothing. Thats the beauty of the master race.  You have options.

lunar1122
Yeah we should go by your baseless opinion rather than by Steam Stats.. Not the logic is more on when the PS4 launch the PS3 will outnumber it by a healthy margin considering it has been on the market for 7 years,and will be cheaper,kind of like the PS2 outsold the 360 for the first 2 years of its life,and almost outsold it a 3rd year,why the PS2 was $129 the 360 was $300 cheapest. PC is even worst,since there is so many variations of GPU,the top of the line ones are basically avoided by most gamers,they play the most on mid to low end GPU,steam stats is a testament to that,and even here on this very site it reflect,make a thread and ask people to post their setup specs,you will be surprise by the quantity of people who had lower than PS4 specs.. The whole PC master race is stupid and show how childish you really are,master race more like stupid race,is the reason i drop from PC gaming. Tell me what consoles is even close in price to even a single Titan let alone 2,but wait 2 Titans will just boost your damn frames,rather than give you straight out better visuals,you will run the game just like the 7970 runs it,but faster... $2k on GPU to run more frames with the same graphics... ^^ is the reason why you should call PC lovers the stupid Race.

It doesn't work like that. The UK launch price of the PS3 was £425, which worked out to roughly $800 at the time.

I'll guess at $400-450 in the US, and £350 in the UK.

I am expecting $400, but I am not buying one until they drop to $300. My PC is more powerful with better games anyways, so it's not as if I have an issue waiting.

Looking at the specs, nothing seems too expensive except the 8 GB's of GDDR5 RAM, but I am also guessing they will take a loss so... $400 / £300, maybe £350 as we know how things are priced in comparison to dollars, i.e. $250 Wifi Vita launched for £230.

My god, will you shut the **** up about steam stats and how most PC gamers don't have a rig comparable to a PS4. Why the hell would I or anyone else bother upgrading at this point!? You do realize your ****ing new consoles aren't coming out until the very end of the year right? I am not even gonna consider upgrading until Intel releases its Haswell line as I would rather not buy a dead platform (ie Z77, LGA1155), and even then, I still probably won't upgrade my GPU until I actually see the system requirements for next gen games.

Between $400 and $450. If it's $500, that'll be the top end model.

I'm expecting £350 to £400.

But I'm not spending that much money on a console when my PC play games better.

I won't be getting a PS4 but I doubt they will want to price it near £425 again.

It'll be $450 - $550 I think. It definitely won't be $399 like Sony is saying. If they do decide to make it that price, they are going to lose a fortune on it. The billions they lose with the launch of the PS3 will be a repeat with the PS4. The system is definitely costing them over $600 to manufacture, that's for sure. The PS3 cost them like $750 - $800 to make. This system is definitely more powerful then the PS3. Not having the expensive Cell or an expensive Blu-Ray now will help, but it'll still be expensive to make with everything else. Their DualShock will probably be $70+. Hope they don't use proprietary accessories with the PS4.

Cyberdot

in what sense ur pc plays games better ? graphic wise ?

Everything.

Graphics and performance. There are so many things that are categorised in graphics such as anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, textures, draw distances, density of objects, effects, DX11, tessellation, etc.

Performance is the one that makes PC games much more enjoyable. Console games are capped at 30fps (drops below that often, actually) and PC is open to performance depending on the hardware. It's mostly 60fps for me.

I also have the choice of playing games on the keyboard & mouse or controller.

You do know that there are many console games that run at 60fps right? They aren't capped at 30fps at all. Also, the PS3 supports keyboard and mouse devices.

It'll sell and Sony will lose $200+ on every sale. I'll be surprised if they release it at that low of a price. I guess Sony doesn't mind losing billions again.

[QUOTE="tormentos"]$400 is what i spec from sony.blackace

At 400$ it will sell like hot cakes with some good games coming up, sony is going strong. I think the price will decide who will make a good first impression

It'll sell and Sony will lose $200+ on every sale. I'll be surprised if they release it at that low of a price. I guess Sony doesn't mind losing billions again.

Really based on what sony will lose $200+ on every unit...

Given Sony still has a huge gap between revenues and expenses (without selling billions in assets each year), they can't afford to sell this at a loss, so it really depends on how much the PS4 costs to make, they might just try breaking even on this initially and profit later, but I don't see them want to take a loss on this out the door, I mean say their loss is $100 a console, so for every million they'd sell that's a $100 million loss. When they hit 10 million that's a $1 billion loss, and given that $5.4 billion last year was raised by selling assets I don't think they'll want to add to their need to sell assets. Anyhow, wasn't the rumor like 43,000 yen? That's why people say $430 dollars I think, but I don't think that's what it'll cost in North America, probably more like $450, that's my guess.

I'm expecting £350 to £400.

But I'm not spending that much money on a console when my PC play games better.

Cyberdot

in what sense ur pc plays games better ? graphic wise ?

Everything.

Graphics and performance. There are so many things that are categorised in graphics such as anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, textures, draw distances, density of objects, effects, DX11, tessellation, etc.

Performance is the one that makes PC games much more enjoyable. Console games are capped at 30fps (drops below that often, actually) and PC is open to performance depending on the hardware. It's mostly 60fps for me.

I also have the choice of playing games on the keyboard & mouse or controller.

so graphics alone. check.
