I think until Microsoft actually ANNOUNCES something, we can't be sure.

I also think that VS threads are annoying as all hell and are a one way ticket to flame war territory, but hey, maybe that's just me.

I think I will wait until both consoles are completely out in the open about everything.

I mean honestly, half the things relating to the next xbox are all just speculation.

It's up in the air for both of them. We know a few things about the PS3, but things like how much they will try to push the Move on their new system, as well as the system price are things I would like to know.

And we know fuck all about the new xbox, but the fact that Microsoft hasn't denied any of the negative rumors surrounding the thing makes me pretty sure that I won't be buying one anyways; at least Sony went ahead and said there would be no always on requirement for the console itself.

How many times do people have to hear this? We have no information on the next Xbox, so how can we make any choice when there is nothing to go by on one of them. I mean, officially, there is no second Xbox yet.

You want to know what we think... What I think, is why does there have to be a versus mentality at all between players. At this stage, I don't want a PS4, don't know enough yet, nothing about another Xbox either.

[small]Xbox 720 is a stupid name... [/small]

To be brutally honest, I think the Xbox franchise is just going round in circles...

I think I'll wait until there's more information, however MICROSOFT AND XBOX ARE THE BEST SO SONY SUX SO THERE!

Well, considering only one of them has been announced, I dare say that the PS 4 has the advantage. But perhaps when ANYTHING is actually CONFIRMED about the next Xbox, I might be able to give a stronger judgement.

Stupid thread is stupid.

*their sleeve
*their money
Actually, if you are going to correct grammar, let's do it right. Since Microsoft is a company (note the singular, indefinite article "a"), the proper pronoun to use is the possessive form of it (i.e., its).

"Or does Microsoft have something up its sleeve that will give Sony a run for its money?"

To answer the initial question: Since we don't know what Microsoft is going to be offering, it is difficult to say. If the rumors turn out to be true (always on internet requirement, inability to play used-games, and, though not mentioned, a continued display of commercials on the "desktop"), then I won't purchase the next Microsoft machine.

I don't really have an interest in the two Microsoft exclusives that I would NEED to get the next generation machine.

As it stands, the cost of the new machines, my backlog of current generation games and the rising cost of food/gas/electricity/etc. all indicate that I won't be buying any of the next generation machines any time soon.

OT: Not enough information to support reasonable hypothesis. On a gut reaction though should I not win the Euromillions this year atm I'd be going with Sony.

That opinion could change at any second though depending on whatever unsubstantiated rumour I am currently reading on the interwebs

Not buying them, that's pretty much that my 2 cents. So far all I've heard is DRM and MAC ID for disc's and that is nothing but a massive turn off.

It would love it for the PS4/Xbox fails completely.

Nothing about the new Xbox has been announced whatsoever, so there's nothing to compare the PS4 to. Even the PS4 has somewhat limited details.

I'm not quite sure how to respond.

Microsoft will reveal that the new XBOX has DVR capabilities, which will blow peoples minds that are severely out of the loop. Microsoft will use this to justify the always-on capability/requirement. It might turn out that this feature is not used for gaming and games (apart from calling home to keep tabs on you), so Orthhole's Twitter tirade came too close to the truth to let it slide; it was not just coming too close to the truth, it was risking the truth to get out to competitors too soon.

Sony will produce a great gaming machine with useless social media features tacked on, flooding Twitter, Facebook and YouTube with gaming footage from inept, antisocial shut-ins, shutting those antisocial services down or just drowning them in a torrent of boring gaming footage, all in superb HD. Sign of the times, I guess.

This will put quite a dent into the pockets of Hauppauge, Elgato and all the others. At least one of them will crumble.

Both consoles will not be backwards compatible.

Jailbreaking either of these consoles will be punishable by death in all of the civilized world. Trying to remove a screw will result in a silent alarm to be triggered, summoning demonic forces and the FBI to your humble abode.

Pretty much man. There is literally no point in even doing a semi-pointless "Vs" thread unless we can actually compare them in some way. All we have at this point about the Xbox 3218461237846 is rumors and innuendo.

EDIT: Ps, I love your avatar. Is it from a thing?

I actually prefer vs. type threads when they're fictional, imaginary and working straight off our dreams, hopes and expectations.

They usually contain less bullshit and more prophetic and self-fulfilling facts that way.

RE: Avatar - Black Rock Shooter. Definitely not from the Thing. The Thing looks like this:

Oh, those are fine. Iron Man vs Batman? Sure, that's awesome. But we already know a lot about those characters - so far this thread is trying to compare apples to another type of fruit that doesn't even exist yet.
