How The Playstation 4 Can Beat The Xbox 720
It seems the battle of words over who will win the next-next generation console war is already starting to hot up.
A thread over on the highdefdigest.com forums shares a number of ways and ideas that Sony should adopt to ensure their success at dominating the future console marketplace.
Launch – The PS4 must launch in the same timeframe. Achievements, Live and the lower price helped the 360 but that head start seemed to be the clincher.
Consistency – When it comes to Online gaming. We’d all love it to be free but if its going to cause 3rd party devs to get headaches and to scramble and host their games just charge for it.
Exclusives – Pay for exclusives. The Kuturagi handshake deals are over now that the market share has shrunk, lock up those 3rd party titles.
More Thought To 3rd Parties – Consider the 3rd parties when designing the CPU/processor.
Varied Launch Titles – A nice varied launch lineup and at least one exclusive killer app. PS3′s launch was filled with delayed games, year old 360 ports, PS2 ports and one really awful exclusive (Mobile Suit Gundam). I am a big fan of Resistance but I feel like it was almost the Luigi’s Mansion of Sony launch lineups.
Premium Accessories – Include a headset, component cables and maybe a demo(physical disc or saved in the hard drive). We want people knowing the benefits of high definition and that they can talk online from day one. The demo could advertise games available now and upcoming to get people psyched. And perhaps a walkthrough explaining the store/differences in cables/online gaming.
Easy System Upgrades – Don’t make the hard drives proprietary like MS. Keep the uprgadeable system we have now
Affordable Launch Price – They must launch at 299. Losses are a given at that price but systems will sell faster and there will be a healthy attach rate early on. Software is where the money’s at. This formula worked twice for Sony It can work again.
So there you have it Sony, eight sure-fire tips to console dominance. What do you guys think of these suggestions? Feel free to leave your own suggestions in the comments!

Now I think thats the best thing anyone has said admitadly I owe those 3 consoles and I must say that Xbox 360 has done very well perhaps much better than the other 2.

i think ps4 must have green ray graphics (better graphics) because xbox 720 will play blu ray graphics.
vlad said this at 11:09 am
the xbox will win
lamonta said this at 9:12 am
They just need to come up with some original ideas as the xbox just seems to copy features from other companys. Expect the xbox to just be motion controlled as that what won this generation.

first of all all you god damned Xbox 720 fans get off the PS4 WEBSITE!!!! Even though the ps4 will need a cheeper launch price than the PS3 it should still be more than 300 dollars because they will need to make the system have so many more features

First of all if u analyze the proccesor and its functionality u will see tbat the 720s custom built morado cpu gpu will render pixels blatently faster and have a higher frame rate per second with a clovk speed of 3.89 ghz and 8 ddr3 ram tbe xbox is obviously superior
Techy4life said this at 11:49 pm
Hand free motion controller webcam and faster cell broadband chip IBM an upgrade from ps3. Xbox has no way to keep up only to bury themselves early.

Green-ray? That would be worse than bluray. And, the actual color of the laser is violet, not blue, because it’s a higher color on the color spectrum.
Xbox will never play bluray, because it’s Sony’s, and Sony has a ton of patents on it. Bluray discs will be able to store up to 500GBs of space, which is plenty for the next gen. It’s also much cheaper for Sony to stick with bluray.

Hi Guys, one thing the new ps4 MUST have is a option to connect and play 3d (sterioscopic games)
Make slightly bigger controllers, i know its made for all ages, but we as adults dont have small hands and slightly bigger is a good way to go. I still think disc is te best option to go by, maybe shipping these new units say with standard 1tb hard drives. Ability to connect to wireless audio devices, like home cinemas, so i can play m games, where i can connect my wireless home cinema to it. One thing is a must, its a stretch but to be able to use 2 screens when multiplayer, it really suck playing with your friend on a split screen locally. Can this issue be solved. Surely ou dont want that lame ass microsoft people to do this first and actually come up with something they thought up by them self for once and call it their own. I know sony is and will always be first in innovation and i would love to see it been kept this way, not using stuff other people are already used to it. Keep it up, im looking forward seeing great things to come

i’ve seen some of the pictures for the concept designs for both xbox 720 and the ps4. by far, the ps4 looks better. i wouldn’t be surprised if it would be playstations time to shine … again

I think Sony has learned alot from this generation and knows what they need to do to overtake Microsoft in the next generation and please the Sony fans.

You are seriously all fuken morons..
Fuken cok suckin fanbois, you all need to be fed coks and soddomised..
Fuken ass holes..
PS3, still to this day has had no real eye watering game release, and the machine has been out for 3 years already: FUKTARDS…
PS4 will win!! win what?? smallest cok award??
Do the world a fuken favor, keep your moronic fuked up opinions, ideas, theories to yourselves.
None of them make any sense, just like the coks in your mouths, PHAGGOTS..
Sony said this at 4:17 pm
PlayStation is far superior!!!!! XBOX = ShitBOX. Anybody who thinks otherwise is fu*ked in the head! thats a fact, not just an opinion. PlayStation just always seems to come out on top, power, graphics etc etc and it actually works right from the first batch!!! none of that ring of fire bullsh*t and poor service by not recalling them!
PS said this at 8:59 pm
Haha those concept pictures are made by fans
and xbox will use blu ray it is a small licensing fee
Josh said this at 10:46 pm
Playstation always out done Xbox. they were first to even have a game. starting with the ps1. So they have much more experence…
S dogg said this at 10:38 am
All i have to say is good luck microsoft. The ps3 already has surpassed the 360 even with its flaws. The ps4 will completely blow it out of the water. Microsoft better put their best foot forward and not release something that will break down, overheat, or die too fast.
Eric said this at 6:38 pm
I think if sony releases at the same time as microsoft they will win, but also think that having the free online, is one of the key factors that make the PS3 a more desirable console.
Dawn of Evolution said this at 1:34 pm
“xbox will use blu ray it is a small licensing fee”
XD
not for Microsoft. Apple and Sony are two large voices for the Blu-ray Disc Association. I think Sony is going to get payback for M$ not allowing them to use the patented in-game media player
from the 360. Karma’s a beeyotch.
JB said this at 1:06 am
you know im not as biased as some of you guys who only have a ps3. I have a ps3 and a 360, well actually im down to my 6th 360. Thats why I like Ps3 better. Microsoft makes their consoles out of fucking paper mache. I mean its a a great system and i love xbox live and the graphics are ok but the system it self will break for any fucking reason. I’ve had 5 rings of death and one just fucking crashed after i put in a copy of street fighter 4. My first ps3 is as good as new. I have to say the graphics look crisper on the ps3. Its much more convenient to watch Blu-ray movies than to go out and buy one. Microsoft wont bother with blu-ray because they know sony is going to do something new. thats a heads up for playstation lovers. Do i think we should go digital on the games? HELL NO! I might have a good fiber optic connection but thees nothing better that hearing the whizing disc as you play. But i think the playstation store came in handy for DLC packs add-ons and demos. Overall I hope the PS4 kicks x-boxs ass.
unbiasedgamer said this at 6:57 pm
Microsoft is not going to do blu-ray because they know sonys gonna go a step further but their systems are weak compared to the ps3. I had 6 rings of death and now im on my 6th 360. Sony rules.
Godfather said this at 11:18 am
i dont like to leave comments on a ps3 website about the xbox website but… who the fuck cares on “the battle” between the ps3 and the xbox? there both great systems each having there own unique flavor and touch. online may cost money on 360 but it is way more organised and in my opinon way better in the internet depart ment. i am an owner of both systems so i would also tell you that the ps3 is only better in color in graphics department. 360 has less pixels showing up ( the trees in cod look way better from a distance, jest example) and in my mind way better games( halo, gears,) but the ps3 has games that i dont really like ( sorry, yes i dont like god of war, uncharted and resistance) but the ps3 is way more reliable because i have sent in my xbox in like 2 times know. my point is that its up to the player and which games they prefer. o and buy the way what is up with the ps3 fans and absolutely spamming the page with fuck you 360 lovers? all i see 360 people say is that ” i hope to see microsoft wins.
wow said this at 9:23 pm
I own a Wii an Xbox 360 and I have to admit that between them the xbox 360 wins, though the Wii graphics are pretty good,the down side is that their arn’t any real good games for it. The the winner between the PS4 and the Xbox 720 is a tose in the air we wont know how will win tell its already over. I am persionly routing the Xbox 720 to win but they will have to get their act togather, and in this i mean free online play(or at least cheaper) and a longer life span. Bcouse it pissis me off when i have to get my Xbox 360 fixed only after I had it for less then a year, and if they don’t i will have to get a PS4. Hay I wouldnt evan be surprized if a fouth parrty tried 2 jump in when the other 3 come out, man that woul be halrious. What do u guys think about the Nalal controller that Microsoft is coming out with!
Isaac said this at 10:06 am
ps4 will win theres no compotision
malcolm said this at 6:40 am
I think it’s funny how these forums pop up. PS3 > 360 and vice versa. It’s so silly really. I own both systems and I’m happy with both. They both have thier flaws that I hope are corrected by the release of the new systems. The failure rate of 360 is insane. That has to be addressed first and foremost. Also, the 360 needs to get some more opriginal IP’s in the works that are console exclusive. As for Sony, I much prefer the online experience with the 360. Basically what I mean is that I love the 360′s party system and the ease to jump from game to game while keeping in contact with friends. Oh, and Sony will be soon adding more online features which will also come with a monthly fee. Now you can choose to keep your online experience free, but then you wiull not be able to use the new coming features.

I think that xbox needs to find a way to keep its consoles alive for more than 5 months before they can begin to compete with anything sony has to offer….
Johnny B said this at 7:14 pm
lol u xbox morons if u havnt realised, project natal(as it is called) is the only thing xbox has got gunning for it, but wait a minute …. that sounds a bit like eyetoy to me hmmmm if i didnt know better i wud say that sony made eyetoy so microsoft is just copying sony becuz their tech is, well to put it plainly is sh*t

say if you take down xbox would you be still making the playstation better or will you just quit
jason carrier said this at 4:21 pm
I think its sad all this ps3 vs xbox 360, now your even no about ps4 vs xbox 720, when they havnt even been given a release date, and neither sony nor microsoft have established they are making these consoles. granted – ps4 is likely to come out sooner as apposed to later as xbox 360 alreayd has more private games. I personally love the ps3 more because its free internet, you can play blu-ray disks, it has more gb (250) and overall its better as there is no red ring of detaha nd you can access the internet, not jsut facebook like the xbox. so microsoft get ready for the ps4 because it is going to amaze everyone – even xbox shaggers.
Kyrran said this at 1:05 am
yeah thats the reason i got a ps3 and like everybody said ps4 is gonna win so SUCK IT XBOX LOVERS!

why? i have a ps3 and xbox 360 , and somtimes i have promlems signing in to PSN , and its not my internet because i have very fast internt (54mbps) soo yea? and xbox has way better online features..? RIGHT , and playstation is only good for .. nothing? xbox just did a better job.. im sorry ps3 fans , but you guys copied wii soo hard ,, with your ‘move’ controller ? lmao get original like microsoft and get motion control with your hands.. hahaha .. and u cant say u can watch bluray movies all the time . because i went to best buy , and saw heroes season 4 bluray was 90 bucks, theres no way any of you are paying that much for a show.. blu ray is good but to overated.. nuff said ,
Devonn said this at 11:42 am
While I kinda agree that the PS3 should have been sold cheaper at launch, people seem to forget that XBox 360 was released 1 year earlier than expected. Also the 360 didn’t use any cutting edge technology, like Sony does. Why Because Sony is more into selling high tech electronics, whereas MS is more into software and OS’s.
William said this at 8:16 pm
The Ps3 has been gaining ground quickly for the past year. Playstation is learning a ton from this generation and will definitely dominate the next gen consoles. At first the xbox fanboys thought their console was better but once you get into the technical side ps3 OWNS! And brilliant dev teams like naughty dog and guerrilla games figured out how to use that kind of power. The thing that hurt sony the most was the late launch. Then it took time for developers to figure it out and they said it was difficult to create games. This time around they will know whats coming and that it will be difficult but totally worth it! I might sound like a fanboy but I own both systems and what I’m saying is all facts!
E-SPRUZO said this at 11:13 pm
for those of you talking about bluray and stuff i believe they are actually using HVDs
Deez Nutz said this at 12:50 pm
You stupid *****! You don’t know the specs of the 720! And what makes you think it will be more powerful than the ps4? I can tell you that the 360′s processor does 72 gigaflops whereas the ps3′s does about 240! This pattern is likely to continue if sony improve cell-be. It is rumoured that MS will use Intel larabee processor which is due for release when all the bull about the i5 wears off. The ps3 doesn’t need a successor yet – it’s still stuck playing 360 ports! What it needs is a screen you wear on your head that can be tracked by the PS move system, or just a MEGA good game. If you read reviews of best all-time games you will find N64, PS 1, SNES, PS 2 etc. but no PS3! make an amazing RPG or something.
Kihoshi said this at 12:17 pm
I think you should stop making new game systems,but I have an idea,why not use real people instead of animated people in the games.now that’s as real as you can get. also put surround sound connections on the system.
blake said this at 9:59 am
The number of consoles sold it certainly important. However, the number of consoles actually still running is as well. XBOX 360′s huge failure rate (that only now has been brought in line with industry standards) means that at least 10% of all 360′s sold in the last 5 years are DEAD. So they claim to have sold 44 million, then you can easily remove 4.4 million from that number, likely even more, but we’ll stick with 10%. In that regard, you can see that Sony has indeed tied Microsoft now.

michael said this at 11:14 am
in the end xbox is a cheap ripoff ps3.
David said this at 4:52 am
Retards haha microsoft had games on the pc before the ps1. The ps3 is a pile of overpriced wank why pay twice as much for the same thing and BLU RAY is the SAME quality as HD why the fuck would you buy blu ray ffs it won’t be useful for another 10 years when ultra HD is the standard. And graphics wise know what the fuck your talking about before you say shit like the ps3 is more powerful cause there the fucking same!!! The winner of the mext gen console will be decent features at a decent price!!! And telling people to get of the ps3 forums why so you ps3 fans cam lick eachovers arses sayying yea yea ps4 is better, I have a wii a ps3 an xbox and a gaming pc and pc wins hands down, the xbox second, the ps3 gathering dust because the only games that are exclusives are jap crap. DON’T think its better cause it costs more retards if u think that go and waste your money on mac shit!!!
Donzo said this at 3:24 pm

One more thing – it needs to ship with whatever the new input device is – be it a PSMove style controller or a Kinect-style input. I agree that Sony should give more thought to 3rd parties. I disagree that Sony should charge for online – I think that free PSN was a major perk.

You people are douches honestly. PS3 has twice better hardware the xbox 360 yet i feel the graphics are still the same. Infact on Crysis 2 i felt that FPS drops more on PS3.
Honestly i am a Xbox fan and that is solely because its easier to hack. I’ll go for the system whose hack comes out first

A report released earlier this week revealed that the Xbox 360 is for the eleventh month on-the-trot the U.S.’s highest selling console.
According to the data released by the NPD Group, the Xbox 360 managed to shift 270,000 units this May — a 39 per cent increase since last year.
The console managed to be the number one selling console for 11 out of the last 12 months and has seen 17 months of year-on-year sales growth.
Since the report, Microsoft released a statement promising that its console’s seventh year would be its most successful, “And if anyone has any doubt that 2011 continues to be the year of Xbox 360, check out the latest numbers from NPD Group, an independent market research firm that tracks the digital entertainment industry.” all i gonna say

It isn’t cheap to produce a console that plays Blu-ray discs. Sony’s PS3 costs more than $800 to produce, with cosnumers charged $600 for the new system. That’s $200 more than PS3′s nearest competitor, Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Sony is banking on consumers’ desire for the new Blu-ray player to overcome concerns over the hefty price tag. That could prove to be a dangerous gamble on Sony’s part.
Yankee Group analyst Michael Goodman told Reuters that “Blu-ray is adding $150 to $200 to the [cost of PS3]. They’ve created something that is not for today’s market. It’s not a market driver, it’s only driving the price higher.”
Trend-watcher Cymfony surveyed 18,000 blog posts and message boards and discovered that positive Internet discussions about HD-DVD were 46% higher than for Blu-ray. “Negative Blu-ray conversation indicated a lack of consumer trust in Sony, as well as gamer displeasure with selling Blu-ray in association with PlayStation 3,” Cymphony’s Jim Nail told Reuters.
Sony has displayed no public concerns about Blu-ray. Many people bought the PS2 specifically for its DVD playback capabilities, so it is possible the PS3 will see great success if consumers choose Blu-ray over HD-DVD.
“The likelihood of people using PS3s as DVD players is significant, particularly when you’re talking about millions of consoles Sony expects to sell,” Andy Parsons, a spokesman for the Blu-ray Disc Association said. “Blu-ray’s here to stay

guys stop this silly arguement its sad both system are equals to me i own all sony and all MS systems i love them both. MS and sony both have their flaws and this so called “war” is just sad…. seriously guys we have our own preferences on gaming consoles so just stop because i see it as both MS, and sony balence each other out

Lets wait for sony to say ok we are working on the PS4 and actually see the specs before we judge them. Theres also the fact Sony dont want a repeat of the features being removed of there next gen console like the PS3. Give us Backwards compatability for all playstation branded games including PS2 and PSP games and a HVD drive that can read both DVD’s Blu Ray discs and UMD discs. The higher ammount of availibe games in the game library which includes all PS1,2,3, Portable games will have tons of developers jump ship including Xbox 360 developers as well. That will help Sony win along with new PS4 games. Make the PS4 an ultimate Playstation console and give people something that microsoft cant even in the future. Once they do all this they have won within a year or release

xbox is the reason for the game designers to limit there imagination of create more idea for the game and the size of it or even its graphic the DVD let the game designer limit his thinking of the game,the PS4 is getting somthing stronger than the blueray by 3 times,the ps3 already having exclusives big games like Dust514 they even canceled for making it shared with xbox for many big huge sucking reasons.people are stupid enough to compare two same games that are shared bitween xbox and ps3,they should compare the exclusives games many company prefer working for ps3 and in future ps4 because DVD is the reason for them to limit there imagination while on blueray they can put as many data as they want,while its still in one disc,on xbox they will split the big games into 5 cd’s i had one game before its rpg and i sold the xbox because it sucks as hell and lagged many times on fable,and there is one of the guys saying sony is running out of money in this comment?,did you know whats is sony? they already buy big factory in japan that cost 500,000,000,google it and this factory will be used to make the PS4,the ps3 already having new exclusives like Dust514 which can connects to EVEonline PC players and both the ps3 and pc will play in one universe this game is thought to be on xbox but when the company found many weaknesses on the console they cancel it and prefer it on PS3 google it,and many exclusives in future and for the PS4 aswell,the blueray is an anti scratch duel layer disc,and easy to wipe and clean,the DVD on xbox360 is like a glue the dust and dirt stuck there and never can be wiped,sony chooses somthing with quality on its console the,controler is charge able and with its left analog i can reach 2 directional buttons the down and right,and the select button also the ps many button thats 4 buttons to reach without in need to leave the left analog stick like on call of duty lets say i can run while calling the chopper on xbox u have to stop running to press the calling button to call the chopper,on xbox the controlller is not chargeable and u have to buy the charge packs that cost alot,and u have to buy the battreys,the ps3 have netflix and the online is free and there is a (+) version where when u activate it you get the ultimate ps3 contents and you get discount on everything by 20%-30%,also there are free full games that u download for free and play and much much more,xbox for those who got no life and dont know what the quality means get a life,i got xbox and it died 3 times within 3 months.

Fun factor wins sales. Xbox 360 outperformed PS3 in the most important fun factor in today’s generation…online play. Yes you pay for Xbox online, but it’s an almost flawless experience. PS3′s experience is mediocre at best. Friend’s lists, chat, private chat, gamertags, gamerscores, messaing, all combined to deliver a better online than PS3. People who wanted online left to Xbox, while people who still play RPGs (which are now slowly dying, as online is taking over) stuck to PS3s. Ps3 is actually more powerful than XBOX, but THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN GRAPHICS OR GAMEPLAY. PS3 WAS EXTREMELY OVERRRATED AND EXTREMELY OVERPRICED.

Hello… as a proud owner of both i think the ps3 and x box 320. I think the Sony will win out on power there are already rumors that ps4 will be more powerful. I think the ps3 runs better now and that they always one up Microsoft on consoles. This is the last time i buy a Microsoft console. I think Microsoft nickels and dimes you and Sony you pay a little more out of the gate but thats all you pay for. I can’t count on how many headsets i bought for my x box. The chargers for your controller. Microsoft itemize everything making you pay more in the long run. No matter what MS does this next gen i will be going back to Sony or just build a PC but that another story. If you add up the cost of this new system and the amount it will cost to buy a new one int he future it will cost you how much money. 60 bucks for x box live now and to the math that is 600 that you can used to buy a new system the next ten years. Thats if MS doesn’t up the price in that time.
