Sony CEO: We’ll Show Our Next Console Only After Microsoft Shows Its Own

Stopped reading when I seen the author doesn't know the difference between "predecessor" and "successor". Do 12 year olds write for this site?

I've read some of these comments and while I'll admit you guys know a lot more than I do (technical side). I would like to add my 2 cents worth. I have both the PS3 and Xbox360, some games I like for one console over the other and vice-a-avers. It all comes down to personal preference and by the way I like Sly Cooper, Jax and Daxter and God of War and while Halo is a monster franchise it's not god of all games. Buying the same game for each consoles is a waste of money and I happen to think that graphics always look better on the PC, Anyway do enjoy reading the different opinions of those who have more technical knowledge than I do so keep writing just save the space for something constructive and don't waste if on name calling.

You console war ******* need to chill out. turn that gamer rage down a notch kthx.

What about skyrim DLCs hey guys ? why did it take so long to release on ps3 ? Its because of the specs of the ps3 being crap and it can't handle such a cool game.

"When Sony’s consoles finally made it to the market in 2006, its main competitor had already enjoyed a market lead of 10 million units sold" The current difference in total units sold between the 360 and PS3 is 1 million...Therefore sony has made up a 9 million unit difference in 1 years less sales.

Consoles suck anyway, I'll take my mods and freedom in general over this crap anyday. Sad, because I grew up a console kid starting with the NES. Even if PCs do cost more, they are well worth it. Steam sales make up for anyhow.

Build a pc. It's always improving, so no need to worry about which companies better. Just pick up the best market parts and place them in yer system. No muss no fuss. :D

Neither of them are better. What happened to the good days where you'd go out, buy a game, throw it in your CD-ROM drive, install it and play it for hours on end? Consoles couldn't compare to a PC, and yet the present-day games released for the computer are suffering. Take for example - WWII Fighters released by Jane's Combat Simulations. That was a -real- combat simulator, now you have the crap like Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters, there's no game these days that just can not go without having a console esque design.

All the comments here= TL;DR

**** Xbox and Microsoft they can only copy Sony and make a better console instead of going their own way to complete a console that is going to be better without cheating

Playstation: The PS1, was very fun for driving games. My cousin had a PS1, I had a PS2. Ratchet and clank was a personal favorite, along with The Star Wars battlefront series and need for speed. I had over 60 games. My PS2 was broken by my sister's friend at her birthday party, so I purchased the in between version of the PS3 ( was the large version but without the PS2 compatibility). Anyways, I loved playing Call Of Duty 3, it was a huge leap forwards from the TPS I played on the previous system. I continued to buy the Call of Duty games in this order: 3, Modern Warfare 2, World at War,Modern Warfare, Black ops, Modern Warfare 3, Black ops 2, and I am currently waiting for the Modern Warfare 3 sequel, rumoured to be called "Ghosts will Rise" or simalar title related to the Modern Warfare 2 character "Ghost", Who cannot die. Nonetheless, I later jumped back to the TPS games, now Army of Two, and Army of two the 40th day. I beat them multiple times and I now play online and unlock all the masks. I guess you could call me a fanboy, I have a PS3 at each of my houses and I yearn for the day Starwars Battlefront || makes a comeback. I grew up with the playstaition 2, knowing every detail of how to fix a bug, or get some cheats. It made me happy when I was down, so I loved it. I cried when it broke ( I was seven), it was one of my best friends and its day had come, so I bought its son, and I defend the Playstation's honor when it is insulted. Call me what you will... A ****** A ****** A fanboy But I love the Playstation. If you'd like to add me online, my account is D4JUGGURNAUT THANKS FOR READING! Canada Rocks.

What the **** am I reading? What the **** are YOU reading? =S

All I have to say is that i bought my PS2 brand new in 2001, and the PS2 was manufactured in 1999 according to the mfgr date on the back of it. Guess what? I've never had problems with it. Now I occasionally use it to watch DVDs and CVS2...

There are some truly ignorant people here. I have had both for many years as well. The PS1 was my first console ever, and it was wonderful. Then I bought the Xbox after a few years of playing strategy games like Command and Conquer Generals, and of course counter strike. When I obtained my Xbox, halo was the first FPS that I had played that was well thought out. (Mind you, I said "the first "I" had played. And at that point I had played very few, so don't give me crap about it.") Then the 360 followed. I started getting into the Call of Duty franchise, per recommendation of many of my friends. Anyways, I visited a friends house at some point. (ive had the Xbox 360 Elite (the black one) for about a year now) He was playing a PS3 RPG by the name of Demon Souls. After getting a chance to play that game, I was instantly hooked, and quickly bought a PS3 Slim. (I was disappointed that it did not have PS2 platform capabilities that came with the first gen PS3, which was a downgrade. I was disappointed.) I have many games for both consoles. Now, im also a final fantasy fan. So I used the PS3 mainly for the final fantasy franchise, which led me only using the PS3 for RPG's. (not including The elder scrolls and Fallout games.) So I cant really say anything about PSN since i've rarely used it. But the few times that I have played on there, there are very few hackers that actively exploit FPS games during ONLINE matches, which is true on both Xbox and PS platforms. I am slightly biased since i've mainly used XBOX live For Shooters since the beginning of my console years. I know for a fact that neither gaming communities suck. Also, to the person who said that Halo and COD don't take skill, you ARE mistaken. Just the fact that there are even tournaments held for those two games alone proves that there is obviously skill involved. Let alone the fact that there are individual WINNERS. (*gasp*) All first person shooters take a fair amount of planning, strategy, and reaction time to master, even more so when they're online. There was, is, and always will be, CAMPERS on EVERY platform in EVERY online game. And to the PC lover, there (surprisingly enough) was ONE game that had 120-140 player matches. It is called MAG. Its a PS3 game. I didn't discover MAG until several years after it was released, so I decided not to buy it, assuming it was already a dead game. Im not sure how successful it was though. ANYWAYS, both platforms are wonderful, though I use them for two totally different types of games. Sales DOES NOT determine which consoles are better, to an extent. They are both great. Everyone is just biased. All the "fanboys" are just kids who have grown up on a certain console or other, and is simply biased because he doesn't know anything else. And when he sees a chance to announce his "console allegiance", he will, and he will also talk **** about anyone that opposes him as much as possible. I say that, but honestly I would prefer if people wouldn't argue about this unless they've ACTUALLY owned both consoles and truly gotten to KNOW each console before talking trash about them. Always know both sides of an argument thoroughly before arguing one point, otherwise youll be bound to lose the fight. And I also think illiterate people who cant ******* type or spell worth **** should just stay away from computers. It drives me insane when they enter an argument, because every single person, no matter which side, will tell him to **** off. All they do is make themselves look like bumbling fools that aren't capable of being worth anything more than the **** that comes out their ***. Anyways, my rant is over. Oh, by the way, for you "teen fanboy" haters, I myself am a teen, and I don't think ive said anything that labels me as such, let alone being "stupid", "Ignorant", or a "Dumbass". I look forward to any replies to my post, as I am curious about what people have to say. PS3 is technically better because of storage space, color, and resolution that the 360 can't replicate due to processor speed. Yes, it was a mistake that Sony released later than the 360, it drove many of their would be customers directly into Microsoft's arms. Sony is not going out of business any time soon, but not at all for the sales of the console as both Microsoft and Sony takes a hit of every console they sell. Sony tried to recuperate some of this money (as they took a very large hit, I don't remember an exact number but it is easily in the hundreds) by downgrading the PS3 to no longer be backwards compatible so PS2's still sold, and before you say it, yes we sold quite a bit of them because ps3's price point was way too high for most people as they just bought a 360. The only reason people are buying PS3's so much is that they are the highest rated blu-ray player currently on the market, mostly because of the amount of ram they contain. Which means the royalty Sony gets from most of their console sales are not close to making up the money they lost on the console itself. And Ps3's are junk, just like 360's. Just as there were 4 versions of PS2's depending what facility manufactured your unit, each with their own problems same thing happened with the PS3. Although the average user would never know the difference between them as they way you tell was what pieces (like screws) were missing from inside. On the PS3 there is a thing called the "yellow eye" it is the same problem as the red ring but under a different name, the reason it happens is even the same, just like Microsoft, Sony didn't want to install a liquid cooling system for size, weight, and cost reasons but they really should be liquid cooled instead of air. Also did you know the reason you have probably never heard of the yellow eye is that Sony made sure the media knew about the problem and made sure it stayed in the public eye? Now for the lazy people.... Tl;Dr PS3 sucks, so does the 360. I own both. sources - 10 years in technology retailers, 3 of those years as technology repair, Sony's training website for employees.

as long has both systems have playback compatibility who cares which is better.
