So Sony confirmed the PS4, it's going to be released in holiday 2013
Then It's probable that the Xbox 720 will also be released in that date don't you think.
About PS4
Quote:
Sony revealed the system runs on a single-chip custom processor and utilizes eight x86-64 AMD Jaguar CPU cores, with a next-gen AMD Radeon based graphics engine powering the way.
The "highly enhanced PC GPU" packs 18 GCN units - that may sound a like a lot of techy mumbo jumbo but what it essentially means is that the GPU packs 18 processing clusters, each packing up to 64 cores. That provides a lot of parallel processing power, and will thus handle the majority of the PS4's grunt work. It hits 1.84 TFLOPS of processing mojo.
Sony announced at the NYC event that the console will use GPU compute features to take advantage of this components raw power - it'll be used for general computation tasks as well as building graphics.
Memory
The PS4 will ship packing 8GB of GDDR5 memory. That's some super-fast stuff right there and should enable lightning fast performance.
Indeed, Sony has revealed that you will be able to power down the PS4 mid-game and then switch it on again in seconds and pick up right where you left off. That's the sort of loading power that this memory enables.
Other specs
We're also looking at Blu-ray disk support plus good ol' DVD, plus HDMI output support as well as Analog-AV out and an optical digital output.
PlayStation 4 Eye
What's really grabbing though is the development of the PlayStation 4 Eye, a newly developed camera system that utilizes two high-sensitivity camera equipped with wide-angle lenses and 85-degree diagonal angle views.
Sony said the cameras (amounting to 1280 x 800 pixels) can cut out the image of a player from the background or differentiate between players in the background and foreground, enhancing game play handily. There's also mention of logging in using facial recognition and using voice and body movements to play games "more intuitively."
The controller is pretty much the same shit:
They the console will be more powerful than the new Xbox. What you think? I don't care the PS3 is more powerful than the 360 but the performance is the same _________________________________________________________

They did what they had to do because... after I saw the controller I already know that I will NOT be buying it (I don't want a 90s controller like that one, did ever heard the word "evolution"?) _________________________________________________________

I would quit gaming all together if that was the only controller on earth. I never liked Sony's controllers. I hate how they feel. They are pretty good quality however, I mean talking about PS2 and PS3 controllers.
I think Sega was the leader in controller design with the Genesis controller when Nintendo had that stupid square one that never felt right on the NES. Then the design changed some what to be even more held by human hands with the Dreamcast controller and bam, the best controllers continued from there on to Microsoft consoles. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
