yeah! that SquareEnix presentation was just something out of this world and unseen before. MS must have shit their granny panties, especially when that second dude came out and gave that announcement

I would say, a little, Sony seems to be throwing everything they can in the PS4, but so much of it seemed like they were playing catch up with the Xbox and Live. Adding facebook, better friends integration, using real names/pictures, chat, downloading when the console is off, integration with Phone and Tablets, etc. they presented them like they were new, even though Xbox has already had most of that stuff, for years in some cases.

Plus, they are clearly going after Kinect with their new PS4 Eye Camera, face recognition and the controller light/3D capture. I'm not sure how well that is going to work. It seemed much like a Xbox tribute.

The things they should watch:

8GB DDR5 memory - that seems like Sony's Ace.

The 'share' button - a little easier than what Microsoft already has in many games and through live. Easy and simple is good.

Instant on and suspend. While it does sound exactly what Microsoft is already doing with Windows 8. It could be a very nice feature - although seemed aimed at WiiU complaints.

The 'play while streaming' could be a nice thing.

Like the OP said 5-10% is hardly noticeable as a difference in console power.

And what they didn't talk about - 4K video playback? Display Port output?

smh fanboyism a terrible disease

Honestly I don't think Microsoft needs to worry, I think it was just surprising that Sony went for a real powerful machine considering their financial situation.

In bold: Microsoft may have the tech, but that doesn't mean they thought to include it in the same way Sony did.  Sony clearly included streaming/prediction/play-while-you-download as a major feature from the start.  If MS hasn't I don't think they can go "oh shit" and wrangle it in with 9 months to go.

LMFAO it is much much more than that. Did you even see the reveal?

And I have a surprise for you: Since SE is multiplatform, the same guy will step out at the MS party. You better hope he has more to show than at this party...

you're absolutely right, i just hope that they dont say they will be making a final fantasy game for MS and will show it at E3, i mean that would make sony lose the generation right from the start

I have no idea what MS will do next gen. Sony has really put some pressure on MS with the PS4 announcement and everything that it can do. Amazing features and they seem to have gotten a lot of respect from developers which is good. They need something new to fight back. They may already have it but we'll just have to wait and see.

what did the 360 revolve around then?
