what similarities will the two machine?the both seem to be big and black  so far

will they also announce oline atleast every 24 hrs?no used games or fee to play games on other ps4?EA can survive with out sony can sony survive without FIFA,BATTLE FIELD,MADDEN OR many other game that publishers who back this move by xbox one.....please feel free to comment

Hardware similarities... not sure. Perhaps only the color, and the bulky size. With the PS4 being slightly more powerful, it might be even slightly bigger. The latest PS4 video ends with a blue LED light, so I expect some blue LED on the black console, too. Should look stylish. Other than that, Sony doesn't have much (good) to copy from today's Xbox showing.

As for the online DRM stuff...

I predict PS4 will also require games to be installed, but instead of the 'be online and activate code' method of Xbox One, it will simply require the disc to play the installed game. If you borrow it, you can't play it anymore even if it is installed. That simple (just like X360 works right now with full game installs). So, no, I think Sony won't put the online checks in PS4 to keep looking if your installed code is valid.

IF companies like EA try to force Sony to do this DRM stuff, Sony will probably just stay neutral and say it's a developer decision so that the blame is the developers'.

Sony would be wise to use the DRM against MS, not adopt it.

the size of the box will be huge as well... They better otherwise that thing is going to be a new RROD...

I don't know the APU in PS4 is manufactured in 28nm... the X1 is manufactured in 40nm...

I don't know what Sony will copy from them (I doubt they'll do the DRM BS, as they can use it against MS), but it's pretty obvious MS copied the game recording and sharing from them, as they didn't have it fully implemented for the reveal. I mean they barely spent 5 seconds on it.

Hopefully is doesn't copy anything or I may not be making the next gen leap so soon.

As you wrote almost exactly what I  think I thought I'd just quote you and make a slight modification to more accurate reflect my thinking.

Wii U is an option, but other than Bayonetta 2, which I only slightly want to play, I'm not sure there's much there for me to justify buying one.

Yeah, Ps4 would have to really suck though for me not to buy it. After all its home to a few of my fav games :/

All of those games will be on PS4.
