S-sony new console extravaganza

any google 'product' really

Oh yeah, that is right.

-at least the online features which are currently free remain so

The game discs don't even really have anything on them, they're just there to start the download process.

according to rumours this is exactly what the new xbox does

[don't let's]

watch half of them not be though. just think of the improvements they've made to the current service after ps+

new xbox does sound like a disaster

yeah exactly, even stupid basic things that should be standard like autoupdate are ps+ exclusive

I hope it's not true.

oh god me too :'(

-no increase in the msrp of new games

ugh.



truly, i'd rather have flexible pricing with games like japan has rather than a flat $69.99

what i actually expect:

-retains numbered ps4 name (perhaps with a subtitle???)
-backwards-compatible with ps1 discs, but not ps2 or ps3 discs at all, meaning all disc games will need to be repurchased
-loss of many currently free features of psn to ps+, only the most fundamental aspects of online play remain free to all such that the 'real' experience requires a ps+ subscription anyway
-no drastic restrictions on used games immediately, but gradually we will see more baby steps a la the online pass
-no drastic increases in drm in general, but eventually we'll see more and more games which require a persistent online connection, require an activation code, etc.
-$400 minimum price tag, likely closer to $500
-we will indeed see wii u-esque vita gimmicks which will quickly be forgotten about
-no major change in msrp of games
-updated pseye comparable to kinect, will hopefully flop in a similar manner
-2013

like apparently the vita doesn't grant trophies when it detects that certain titles are used, i guarantee we'll be seeing more soft restrictions like that rather that a sudden full-on ban of used games

unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have flopped all that much.  microsoft gives out a bs 'shipped' number of 24 million, but i fear the total sold is not more than a few million off.

sales-wise it's been hugely successful for them, but in terms of content there's nothing but wannabe wii games

though i guess i'm hoping the for the pseudokinect to be more like the ps move in that in flopped both sales-wise and in terms of content but didn't seem to affect the flow of standard ps3 games

um tec that can be easily circumvented by formatting the game card on the vita
