$400-$450 then, as expected


Is that Lulu from FF X?

No, that's Kaz


What have you done to her face no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The PS3 launched at 50k and 40k yen (the two models) and were priced at $600 and $500 in the US.

So does a 40k+ yen PS4 = $500 again for a console in US?

Not sure how much the conversion rates have changed, but if this rumor has any merit, that is not looking good for Sony.

If the PS4 doesnt launch at a cost close to wiiU price it will be in big trouble.. PS3 will continue to outsell it.. see vita/psp example.

Wrong. Sony can sell more expensive consoles than Nintendo. As they've shown again and again. Handhelds do not compare to consoles.

gawd.. obviously they can.. by bleeding money through their ass.. as they have shown time and tme again... any company could do that but they dont coz its no way to run a business.

It says that ps4 will cost more than 40k yen, so, ´people here just read the 40k number but forget the word over, this over can mean even 50k+ yen.


If that was the case they would have said "cost over 50,000 yen", don't be rediculous.



Article says Japan only right?

If so......head start in NA and Europe!



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

if it will be 400 dollar and 400€ it would be less as ps2 did cost here in germany at release which was i believe 869dm or ~440€.

so yeah, price would be good and much lower as ps2 considering inflation. even with 500€ it would be much lower lol.

Alright I have to ask, what game could have surpassed the PS360 games? 

The ports?  The companies barely put any effort into them and still came out with great results (Blops2)

The 3rd party exclusives?  ZombiU did NOT have a $50 million dollar budget to push out the most impresive level of polys ever.

1st Part exclusives?  Nintendo games have never been about the raw power, There aren't that many 1st party games out yet, Nintendo studios still haven't gotten used to the HD era and the games that they pushed out had nothing to do with graphicsal capabilities (2D mario and NintendoLand).

So I have to ask, which of these, even if it was on the PS4, would have blown the competition out of the water?  A powerful console does not a beautiful game make.  It's the time, money and effort developers put into the game and maximising the hardware which makes a beautiful game.  Nintendo will eventually show how far the Wii U is ahead of the current gen when studio like Retro or Monolith come out with their games.  But for now, I don't get what your benchmark is?


That is actually a good point, so, I guess only time will tell. But I will not buy the WiiU until I am sure that there is something amzing in it that I want to experience.

It could be like when I bought a PS3, I knew it was similar to the 360 I already had, and still have, but I wanted to play the exclusives, at the time Uncharted 2, MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles and Siren Blood Curse. It was great and many other exclusives blew me away, like Killzone 2 and my beloved Heavy Rain.

However, I had it with the HD twins, don´t want to add a third brother to the bunch, if the WiiU is only the Nintendo PS3, them I don´t want it. 

But, how you said, only time will tell...

The PS4 is four times better than the WiiU? What does that mean? Wii - Xbox360 diference or PS2-Xbox diference?

Xbox to PS2 is 2x in performance , so it would be two times that gap, which in reality wouldnt be a real deal, since the real gap between Xbox and PS2 games was nonexistant


Urgh. Man, I hope you are wrong then. The WiiU can´t even deliver PS3 like graphic, If the next gen is not light-years ahead, then there is no point for me.

Wii U is going to do better graphics than PS3 in the next wave of games released for it.



I LOVE ICELAND!

If PS4 is $400-$450 with PS3 BC...bless us.



Plz.

That PS4 compatibility would equal an instant buy pretty much. I can give my old launch 60gb a final rest.
