PlayStation 4



See "System Specs" for relevent, non-faboy details about this systems.

The PlayStation 4 is the upcoming successor of the PlayStation 3 (well duh). No bullshit used games restrictions, $399, region-free, though you need PS+ to play multiplayer now ($5/month, $50/year, though free-to-play titles will remain exactly the way they sound - free to play). PS+ will also come with two free games per month in order to compensate the players. The free games could be either PS3, Vita or PS4 titles, most of which are cross-compatible between Sony game systems. Moreover, if you have more than one user account on ps4 and you want to play games online on all of them [Like if every member of you family uses ps3 individualy], it is enough if just one of these accounts has ps+!

System Specs

 * 8GB GDDR5 RAM
 * 8 core "Jaguar" CPU
 * Blu-Ray
 * Wifi with ethernet port in back
 * HDMI in-out
 * USB 3.0
 * Orbis OS (derived from FreeBSD 9)

The PS4 will be running 8 GB RAM, however, unlike the XBOX ONE, the RAM is much higher quality super fast GDDR5 RAM. The system runs on a single OS layer, unlike XBOX ONE's bloated dual layer Windows model, so it's going to run lighter and faster than the competition. It also will be able to get faster and stay more current than the Xbox as time goes by due to the faster RAM.

Backward compatibility-wise, you can bring some PS3 peripherals on sans the current-gen PS Eye, SixAxis and DualShock 3 controllers; that leaves the Move controller, headset, anything that uses a USB port and possibly Media/Blu-ray Remote Control. PS Network downloaded games will still be playable on the PS4, but not discs (probably).

Sony has actually listened to the players this gen. Where players cried out and Microsoft ignored them for months until they saw pre-orders sales drop, Sony took sugestions and tried to improve. At no point did they shut out indie developers, overseas developers, or players with slow or no internet access. Will players notice the difference?
