the reveal was bad, the console itself is actually pretty decent

Really? The hardware design is just as bad as the reveal was. Unfortunately the hardware design can't be changed, they're stuck with it. DDR3 was an enormous mistake. It gimped everything about the machine. The GPU is so weak because a more powerful one would have been wasted by the DDR3's limitations anyway. But what makes it more dumb than anything is that DDR3 wasn't even necessary to get to 8 gigs RAM.

I predicted in 2013 that this year the bottom will drop out for Sony.

The Playstation is a solid brand that should be on its own, away from this horrible company. Then maybe I would buy one.

Amazon Playstation, I like the sound of that.

Amazon isn't a tech company. Them making a console wouldn't make much sense to me. Samsung or Apple ... sure. But Amazon?

Microsoft lost a billion dollars on the Surface. I guess Xbox is screwed.

i think microsoft has way more money than sony...

good for you for saying your almost as good as microsoft though...kudos.

Yeah, MS makes billions every quarter. But who knows how long that will last. PCs keep losing ground to tablets and phones and MS hasn't done all that well with tablets and phones yet.

Not to mention the Old Boys club (former Sony executives) are openly questioning Hirai's leadership and the direction he is taking the company.

http://www.bdlive.co.za/world/asia/2015/04/28/old-boys-say-sony-chief-is-losing-his-way

"Sony is like a ship that has set sail in the stormy weather of the electronics business, led by a captain who’s using a flawed nautical map," Tamotsu Iba, a former Sony chief financial officer and vice chairman, said in a letter sent to board members and management ahead of the meeting, which he attended.

"He doesn’t have the sensibility or intellect to notice it’s wrong. Do board members, who should be in a position to supervise the captain, not notice? Are they tolerating it, not willing to point it out?"

The company can't bleed money forever. It might be in PlayStations best interest to be spun off before they go down with Sony.

That is funny now sony loss a billion and the PS4 is making profits,when those former executives were there sony was losing more than 1 billion per year and the PS3 was generating nothing but loses.

Funny how things work.

What trips me out is how differently economics work at the top than they do the bottom. If I lose money I end up living under a bridge. But a company can be billions in the hole and somehow things go on business as usual.

@Wickerman777: Fanboys like him have favorite companies lol. New levels of fanboyism LMAO.

LOL indeed.

So you admit to being a Nintendo cheerleader?

Hmm, went back and read some of the previous replies. First he was accusing you of having a favorite company, then you were accusing him of it, then ... oh, gotta love the internet. :)

The only way X1 will ever catch up to PS4 is if it gets a ton of exclusives. The software libraries are nearly identical but PS4's hardware is better and that's been the difference and will remain the only significant difference unless MS can give itself some kind of edge that it currently doesn't have.

Hence the four games releasing during the holidays including a numbered Halo title, plus the Limited Edition Halo 5 console to the PlayStation 4's ZERO games...

The coming holiday months are as follows, the Xbox One is going to be the girl you can have fun with, the one who wants to go out dancing, drink and actually puts out for you.

The PlayStation 4 is going to be the prudish mormon girl who wants to get to know you, and wants you to wait until the middle of next year before she gives it up...

It isn't rocket science what is going to be the resounding choice for people...

It's gonna take a lot more than Halo to turn this around. Considering what was possible their hardware design is pretty damned terrible. Ain't saying that PS4's hardware isn't disappointing as well cuz it is ... but it's clearly better than X1 in that area. Would require a plethora of exclusive content to get people to look passed the performance gap.

Microsoft and Sony are both on the brink of extinction

MSFT Flops

Windows 8 - 10% marketshare lower PC sales

Windows Phone - 4% marketshare an dropping

Windows Surface - Billion dollar loss

X-bone - one of the worst consoles ever made

343 studios - MCC flopped

consumers scared of halo 5 and 343

Xbox brand and windows brand now tarnished in public perception scared to buy microsoft products

Sony Flops

Low TV sales

Low Music player sales

Sony movies flopping all over the place

Low Phone Sales

Sold computer business

Laid off several gaming studios

I really dunno which company will die first but these companies are going down while samsung and places like apple go up these 2 behemoths are like dinosaurs approaching extinction

and nintendo is gonna follow into the volcano

its disgusting whats happening soon it'll be like samsung and apple and google doing video games after these 2 kill each other

Really I don't get why Windows phones don't do better. A friend of mine has one and that thing is nice. Kinda wish now that I had gotten one instead of an Android phone.
