Here comes the bombshell...

US - $399
Europe - €399
UK - £349

Damn, AND it's $100 cheaper. I may have to go back to Playstation...

No shit, it's clearly Photoshopped if you look at the full image. But it's amusing.

[MKJ]

Welp, game over for Microsoft.

[Don Carlos]

Yeah I am going with that

Has anyone seen a side-by-side spec comparison of the Xbox One and PS4?

I haven't, but this is a pretty insightful article by Digital Foundry. Then again, I'm not sure how interesting hardware specs are, it all depends on how well developers are able to move around the limitations of the two systems in a couple of years time.

IGN put up a PS4 / XBONE / Wii U comparison chart here:
http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_v ... ison_Chart

I’m a bit surprised that the XBONE will not have BT.

The internal HDD in the PS4 will be upgradeable, unlike the one in the XBONE, although XBONE has been confirmed to support external HDD via the USB 3.0 port.

PS4 is the only system that will be region free.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but is the overall consensus that the PS4 has the upper hand on all aspects?

[Transient]

Ignoring the PC, yes, that's the consensus I'm getting from E3 coverage. A lot of those launch titles are going to be cross-platform, though. And it's all about the games, after all.

[DTS]

That's right just go around "ignoring" things, Transient, instead of saying "apart from". ... Besides, how is the PC relevant to this? Was there a new PC launched at E3? Is there some new development of the PC launched at E3? Is there now a "new generation" PC?
New PC components come out all the time, there's no E3 competitive edge when it comes to the PC, it doesn't have generations FFS. Does it now?

This is a console war, the PC has no place in it.

Where's the PC's new controller?

The average IQ level in this thread was just halved.

Goddamn, you're idiots.

[Ryoki]

No, i don't think that's it...

[DTS]

That's where you're wrong.
