History says yes. But hopefully not.

No.. I doubt Sony will do a slip up like they did with the PS3 again.

Nope. No seriously, they won't.

They already are, with no external HDD support. It's all I've been wanting, but NOOO... 😤 It's like when storage media comes into play, they just don't get it. Them vita memory cards were a joke. Just a gen before that, they used them other sony memory stick things along with UMD for PSP. Of course I used a micro SD adapter to bypass that to play my homebrew. 🙄 Is the OS not capable enough to handle external HDD? What?

Anything can happen in the long run ...

It wasn't long ago that Sony was the one drinking their own kool-aid but now it's their competitors who were getting full of themselves ...

Next? They already are and it began with the PS+ price going up and still not fixed security. I said tit before. Nintendo got arrogant after NES/SNES. Sony got Arrogant after PS1/PS2. Nintendo got arrogant after Wii. Oddly MS got arrogant even tho Xbox 360 did not win. Nintendo and MS now are more humble and Sony is arrogant again. Nintendo if Switch does very well will be right where they were after Wii lol. It's an endless cycle. Why competition is needed to keep putting one another in their place.

First of all, Sony increased the price of PS plus due to the increasing quality of PSN, and the fact Xbox live is more $ and is arguably worse in quality than PSN is today..... 

 

Secondly, how in the world are Sony arrogant this gen? When they have launched and announced the biggest games ever for a PS console this entire gen..... And they have barely talked about figures when they could easily bring up record sales every other month, they continue to just talk about games. 

 

There was nothing wrong with the ps2 era when Sony was dominant..... The ps3 era was huge and it was inspired by competition from Microsoft yes, but current Sony doesn't seem too bothered by competition, they seem to be more motivated in expanding their platform vs competing against Xbox

I hope they do. PS4 is BORING. PS3 was such a monster for it`s day that the CELL CPU is more powerfull than the PS4 CPU. Sure, the whole system is far more powerful than PS3, but this show how low-tie Ps4 hardware was when it launched, PS4 Pro should have been PS4 launch specs, at minimum.

Sure, the games are there and arriving more by the day, but PS3 was breathtaking and a piece of technological vanguard and vision, so was PS2, Ps4 is "oh, I need to get that to play new releases".

Ps4 is on paper about 9-10 times more capable hardware than the ps3.... You aren't seeing a mega step in visuals like you did ps1-ps2 because we aren't doing 720p games on ps4..... You get both a major resolution increase, and an frame rate increase along with better graphics

Sony are already cocky. Btw, don't think, we'll heard of ps5 soon. More chances for PS4 pro turbo edition in 2018.

No what I meant... I mean ps3 was a machine that pushed technological boundaries and defied what was considered possible doing with a home console, bringing state of art technology for our homes like the BD, the Cell chip, free online play and etc. Even for 2016 it still is pretty functional media center. 

 

Ps4 technologically is boring. It's custom PC made with mid-tie hardware (for 2013 standards) and proprietary software so games are programmed in a very optimized way to use this hardware. It's not pushing boundaries, or bringing state of art technology, it has good games, but in terms of device it isn't something so remarkable.
