So you'd rather have this?

I'm not concerned with the outage but the details OF the outage. You read the top line of the article?

Quote:
The PlayStation Network outage was the result of an "external intrusion" on Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, in which personal details from approximately 77 million accounts were stolen and prevented users of PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable consoles from playing online through the service.[1][2][3][4] The attack occurred between April 17 and April 19, 2011,[1] forcing Sony to turn off the PlayStation Network on April 20. On May 4 Sony confirmed that personally identifiable information from each of the 77 million accounts appeared to have been stolen.[5] The outage lasted 24 days.[6]

Look, if XBone owners don't care about their privacy or their rights or big brother always watching them because "I'm not doing anything bad so it doesn't affect me," so be it. But that's how shit like this whole NSA and PRISM clusterfuck happens.

If the PS4 has an initial higher supply there might be good reason behind it. Internet hearsay claims that the "Day One" edition Xbone, the one they were bragging that sold out so quickly, was limited to a fairly low quantity of units. For the past year or so, and still ongoing now, there have been mumblings about Microsoft having yield issues. Take it for what it's worth, but if you can't get the hardware, you can't ship the units.

Also yeah I'm getting a console, but I'm still leaving this here.

By the way, about that cost, how much is it if you want a PS4 with the PS Camera?
60 bucks for the camera. Why does it matter though? Most people probably won't end up buying it, just like most 360 owners I know, me being the exception, don't own the Kinect.

By the time the XBone comes out my PC will be more powerful and I'll just use some shady methods to get the games free... or at much lower costs (Goddamn you steam)

I'm sorry but the tv integration on it is half assed at best. It's a sling box without the sling. I can't believe you're actually trying to use that as an argument.

The poll speaks for itself. Xbox has gained less than ten votes since the announcement... Ps4 has more than doubled. Lol

And t mobile has far better coverage and speeds than people give it credit for. I have seen 4g in more places than Verizon could dream of haha.

So you're saying 1 instance is insignificant but PROJECTING that SOMETHING THAT HASN'T HAPPENED AND LIKELY WON'T HAPPEN is worse?

Let's hope they don't implement all those restrictions... so far microsoft seems fairly planted into that idea...

Maybe because the Xbox never got hacked, and personal information for 77 million users wasn't stolen and the entire network wasn't shut down for a month because of it. But sure, put your faith in Sony.

Depending on what your build is, your PC is likely already more powerful. Here's a good rundown on the hardware:

IMO, the best part out of the Xbone is the new controller. I really want to try the impulse triggers and see how they work in practice.

Spec wise, yes, mine blows both consoles out of the water, but PC games are not optimized as well as console games, meaning I would need next gen GPU's in order to max out the games details... ie. GTX780 or the upcoming AMD GPU's

Not to mention it probably cost more than both consoles combined.... and then some more. But hey, who's counting?
