Social services and extended functionality will define what? Crazy, I will purchase a gaming console for GAMING not for streaming dumb YouTube vids or posting dumb mood updates at FB. I couldn't care less about all that crap.
@GreySif Agree with him, only if you have played the same multiplatform game on both consoles you can say this, the 360 looks sharper, and I had both, now only the PS4 lives though, while 3 different 360's have abandoned me. That pretty much tips the scale towards SONY.
Although I have some interest in next gen consoles, what I'm really starving for is better games. See, to me this gen has been marred by poor quality games, reduction of content and length, reduction of challenge, and the new trend of trading gameplay focus for cinematic scenes simply has me a little hesitant. Whether I buy a new console or not will depend largely on the initial line up of games.
If All I see are games focused on looking good only with zero innovation in gameplay then I will just skip next gen and return to PC gaming, which is the best platform over and over, but the dedication it requires and complexity of the system is a turn off for people like me, with limited spare time for tweaking when all I want is to plug and play.
I just hope it doesn't take half a minute to steel a car like GTA4.....pull handle to have door not open, look around for cops, break glass, unlock door and get in car, trigger car alarm, duck to disable alarm under dash board, turn car on, drive away.....I'm fatigued from writing it.....realistic, yes.....cool idea for a GTA game, NO WAY.....biggest annoyance in the game, remove please.
