1 year on Sony products. You can buy an extended warranty through Sony. Microsoft policies are a little alien to me. They offered 3 years after the RROD scandal, but I don't know what their warranty is now.

They will release the games then after the PS4.

PS4 I guess due the most trouble development of the Xbone...

PS4: Late October / Early November
Xbone: November

PS4 one or two weeks first.

I see you took my suggestion hehe.

Releasing the console first is more important than securing exclusive content

I'm guessing Sony. They seem a little further ahead of MS in terms of game development. They actually had a live demo of a game AND their recording/sharing abilities. And that was a full two months before MS's reveal. So, Sony will probably release in Oct/Sept and XBO will release in late Sept/Dec.

if the rumors and statements around MS not having their API and games in order and being six months behind schedule are true... i'd say sony. i think they really want to be first and if their shit is more together they are in a position to make that happen.

Well we did know very vaguely parts of what the ps4 will look like before MS's event. So MS really doesn't have that one up.

that is actually a very good point.  i wonder is xbone is ready for that date but with that NFL deal missing the start of the season sort of kills that selling point for a year.
