PS3 = No LiveTV. Only catch UP BBc Iplayer kinda stuff. Smaller movie rental list and buy list. only 7 apps. No sports at ALL.

360 = FULL Live TV via Sky. Massive movie rental and buy list. Even buy 1080p HD films with smartglass inbuilt. Like The Hobbit recently. 63 apps. Live sports and sports apps for fantasy leagues.

The One looks to capitilise on all these things and then some. Also the share button sounds moot now considering The One has inbuilt DVR that allows you to fully edit your videos before posting them to Youtube, Facebook, Twitter etc. You can add your own music cut and produce short films. etc.

Im glad Ive paid for Live the last 7 years.

Please actually state the truth when talking about the 360 and PS3

You mean like turning both my consoles on rigt now?

Everything I said is 100% accurate where I live.

The other task in the background never stops though like it does on the PS3 and I'd extrapolate the PS4. On the ONE, everything is live.

I'm not sure if that's a super important difference, but it's much more seamless and organic.

The other two points you ignored them.


Have you ever used Vita?

Yeah, but I never played around with the interactive and multi-tasking features. I don't own one so I played a few games on demo units.

Tell me about it.

Right now I'm skyping, playing P4G and reading a guide in a browser. All processes are running on Vita and swaping between them is instant.

Okay, can you do both simultaneously?

Multimedia and OS has always been Microsofts strength. Sony nailed games their first gen in. Both consoles play the multimedia that matters, but one console overdoes it by trying to hold console gamers hostage (without them knowing) in their battle against Apple for parity between PC's, tablets and TV's.

In other words, the dedicated gamer loses. So do you think this will benefit Sony or Nintendo as gamers flock to the consoles that don't restrict them from the price values they had before?


The dedicated gamer loses, but only in a subtle and deceptive manner. Microsoft lures you with large amounts of games in the beginning (because they know their market of early adopters), finds out whats hot and if they cannot replicate success they leave your appetite semi-sated. Luckily that appetite was sated had something to do with multiplayer which has lasting utility for months to years, rather than single player experiences. Sony had to learn to fill in that gap in their game quickly since online gaming took a foothold in the market. MS has very predictable movement and every gen they have a third party they depend on to make constant games for them:

Gen 1) Bioware

Gen 2) Epic

Gen 3) I believe its Respawn

As long as MS gathers the casuals losing some gamers to Sony and Nintendo doesn't matter. I mean, did it matter to Nintendo?

PS3 = Live TV via PlayTV or NOW TV. PSN Store has virtually exactly the same amount of films to buy/rent with 1080p offered as the 360. Sport offered on NOW TV (Sky Sports)and the BBC Sport app.

 

63 Apps for the 360? Are you having a laugh? Yes it has plenty more than the PS3, but 63? Please.

Live TV via Play TV using inbuilt tuner that all UK TV's have.

Blu-ray and DVD playback

HD Playback of Netflix and Lovefilm.

360 = FULL Live TV via Sky. Massive movie rental and buy list. Even buy 1080p HD films with smartglass inbuilt. Like The Hobbit recently. 63 apps. Live sports and sports apps for fantasy leagues.

DVD Playback, NO Blu-ray playback.

Particularly the " The One has inbuilt DVR" - the XBox One is NOT a drv. Think before you post

Also on PS3 using Play TV I can record a show in the background while still playing a Game.
