Keep telling yourself that buddy.

Technically all Sony products are a little high end compared to other products, and there never the cheapest is true.

Yeah, it was a truth in part. It's the embellishment I'm a little allergic too.

2013 or even 2014 seems right then. Takes a few years of R&D to make a final product.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I don't know about that. The N64 did some things better than the PS1 and the Saturn did some things better as well (2D). Plus the PS1 launched below the Saturn's price at $299 vs. $399 in 1995. http://www.ign.com/wikis/e3/E3_1995

The PS2 was harder to work with and the Xbox 1 was more powerful than it. The Gamecube as well? (I never had one so not sure about the GC.)




starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

What´s surprising to me is they didn´t start earlier.August 2010 is almost 4 years after the PS3 was released.I imagined they´d have started in 2009 at the latest.

Yes, the gamecube was easy to develop for and was more powerful than the Playstation 2, it even had features that were better than the Xbox but the Xbox beat it in other areas. The cube was comparable to the xbox.

Well I kinda meant Sony products in general not just video game consoles. There laptops or tv's are usually high end.

Not a big deal, I wouldn't be surprised if they started even sooner.

Sony has been the best 3 generations in a row. They haven't ever been first or cheapest. I don't see what's wrong with his statement.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Well you can't design a next-gen console overnight, that's for sure.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash
