Is looking very likely.
Had the same PS3 since launch day, so looking forward to seeing what Sony can do with the new kit. Hopefully online play will be a bit more reliable.

With a bit of luck there won't be any of that talk about gamers having a one time code to enter to play a new game like the rumour going around about the new Xbox.
Means that nobody will be able to play second hand games on them! :ragin:
Not like MS are poor is it??
Or Sony for that matter ;)
Looking forward to it as well I still have the one I got of gizmo ;) original fat ps3 :lol:
Im looking forward to this. I don't know if I will get one on launch day, usually the launch games are failry rubbish so will wait until a game takes my fancy before I get one.
Only Played on my mates wee ones Xbox360 and PS3 but never owned one. Came close as my PC is ancient cica 2004 and I don’t play games on it anymore. They have had some good offers in PS3 and with the new LCD TV I’ve been tempted a good few times.
I’ve always been impressed with the consoles, easy to use and the games considering the age of the machines is fantastic. Considering when the last one was out there has to be a huge jump to the new one. Pity as far as I can see its not backward compatible with PS3 games.
But bit the bullet and decided I’d rather have an expensive new top end Overclockers PC that will hopefully last me years and get back into online games with DayZ, Simcity, Elite, ARMA III and the new C&C game.
I have had my Xbox 360 since launch, this is number two as the first bit the bullet with the red ring of death, yes frustrating!
My 7 year old has a 360 also.
However, i also have a PS3, (this is the second)
i was always a PS man, having had numerous PS1 and PS2 units. Switched to Xbox and it is the best thing i done, now don't all boo just yet...!
Xbox is better at gaming, plain and simple, Where the PS3 wins, is media, it's just better at it, hence why i have both.
Will i be buying the new PS4, in short no.... But the new Xbox yes, i feel like MS have just put more development into it at this stage, and with the Kinect i think it will be hard to beat in the next gen race.
What ticks me off about Sony, is they have really recently announced news of the PS4 coming to light, when details got out about new MS Xbox last year, Sony said nothing in the pipeline, yet now they seem to be saying oh yeah we are making one, and it's going to be out holidays 2013.
Big launch day comes around, they've been building it up for a while, and bang, here is our new controller...... Eh, what......... wheres the PS4, you can tell us all about the chipset but what about the unit Mr Sony, what the hell does it look like, thats what we all want to see, and the response, oh we wanted to show the new dualshock 4 controller as it's great (and following the same chunkiness of the xbox controller) we don't want it to get boring by showing you everything all at once...... In other words, we weren't ready for our own launch day.....
And, slightly worryingly, they paraded game developers on the stage, yet a few of the big players weren't there??
It's the games that make the consoles, surely bumping something out in a hurry just to make it to market before MS, means that developers just wont have the time to put into the games and therefore the launch games will suffer, no?
Am i wrong??, can you tell i am flattened by Sony's big announcement??
The Launch of the PS3, hacked me off with delays no end, hence why i could wait for the next gen and went to Xbox 360, i wonder just how much of a following they lost.
Went the Overclockers route a couple of years back and got a hefty quad core AMD Barebones kit off them :cool:Quote:

Well Im a PS fan and have always been all the way from the original to now and I guess the future ones will all end up here at some point too, I prefer their controller so much more than the Xbox one which is just insanely huge and the fact that you HAVE TO PAY to get online on the Xbox is just a joke :moonie: (no I'm NOT laughing), why should people have to pay xyz for the console itself and then xyz for the games they want and to add insult to injury pay xyz for the privelage of playing these expensive games on your expensive Xbox online!! :moonie:
SONY = win win as far as I'm concerned, so bring on the 4th gen :thumbs up:
XBOX = :yuk:
^^^^^^ this ;)Quote:

That's pretty much spot on what I said.. :pQuote:
Dunno about others but when I read this all I read was "blah blah blah geeky blah blah geek geek blah 40" telly" :D
How about.. "Me buy bits of computer and smush them together in shiny black box. Box lights up blue and pretty":p
Oh feck.. I think i just saw Pestilence and War trot past the window... I'm agreeing with Hightower on something! :hand::laugh:Quote:
Me too! <grabs coat and leaves with Ali> :thumbs up:
Jury's out on the new gaming consoles till I see them at least. Can't see Sony competing with Kinnect tho..
Aww well why didn't you say so?!!:smilewinkgrin:Quote:

I'm not bashing the PS range, like i said, whilst i have an Xbox and prefer it for gaming, i am also a PS fan and currently have a PS3 and a Sony Xperia Play phone (don't get me started on that)
Playstation have a massive amount of pro's, and yes the Xbox live subscription is a Con in the Xbox world over PS, i don't have a gold account and plan not to have one as i can play for free on the PS3.
Personally, i prefer the Xbox controller, i think it feels better in hand, and far sturdier for my wee stubby hands!!
Now that i have calmed myself over the big PS4 announcement, and read all there is to read on the subject, i still think the race winner may be Xbox, they seem to be taking their time over the new console and possibly for good reason too.
Anyway, on the plus side, do you think backward compatibility is important for transition from PS3 to PS4? Would it be a considering factor in buying a new PS4 if you cannot use your existing PS3 games?
and does anyone have a Vita, and do you think it will be a good addition to the new PS4?
