(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After the show yesterday from Xbox, i thought i'd post on what i thought so far with the information given.

Lets start of with the Xbox event yesterday, in my opinion the event was a let down, not many games were shown and the actual features of the new Xbox don't seem to be new they just seem to be updated which was a let down, a new generation of consoles so mean something new software wise... no? i made my mind up months ago what console i was going to buy, but i was looking forward to Xbox's event and what they had in store for us, the controller is the same and the leading designer stated that it was 15% quicker which i think was just a made up number due to the way he acted before stating this fact. The new Xbox is set to give you the new kinect with the Xbox, kinect seems to control your whole system through physical movement or speech, in my opinion this is really a feature that isn't needed as i can navigate with a controller, but everyone has their own opinions.

Lets move on to Sony's event, Sony's event was a little disappointing to fans as the console wasn't shown but i guess this makes it more interesting and keeps us fans on our toes. Sony showed the new controller and system specs. The new 'ual-shock 4' controller looks quite cool and offers a lot with the touch screen in the center of the controller to developers. The new features on the controller also tickled my belly () , the new controller allows the user to share recorded game-play to the social media world, this game-play is recorded by the system and the PS4 offers an in console editing system which just sound fantastic, maybe they will incorporate Sony Vegas in the new system?

Anyway enough of the new controller now onto the games displayed. The Xbox event was also a let down on the games front, they showed a simple game where a boat seem'd to crash into a bridge and that was it, it was rather strange and didn't show to much. EA was also at the event, EA have know become apart of the new Xbox one with exclusive DLC only going to Xbox on big games such as 'FIFA' which rather annoyed me, it seems like Xbox have to buy there ways into fans hearts and it just annoys me to be honest, it ruins the experience for PlayStation users. Anyway another game showed at the Xbox event was 'Call of Duty Ghosts' , now i do like call of duty games, but over the years they have gone down hill, i hope this isn't another one of those, but again for this game Xbox have also renewed their contract with Activision and they also get the DLC early on the next gen call of duty's. That was really it from Xbox they didn't show really that much and what they did show, well they didn't show enough.

Slowly moving onto what games were announced at PlayStation's event, the PS4 has some stunning titles coming up such as 'rive Club', 'estiny', 'Killzone shadow fall', 'Watch dogs' and many more all of which were shown at Sony's event and we fans got a real feel whats in store for us with epic trailers and game-play also showing of the PS4 graphics etc. Sony really impressed me with there event, even though they didn't release the look of the console all the games shown, the controller and architecture of the console made up for this in my opinion.

As the table above shows Sony is winning on the specs side of the war, i'm still wondering why Microsoft felt the need to make there system 'Always-Online' i mean that is just a silly decision in my book and another thing that popped up today was that Microsoft are making people pay full price for Pre-owned games (If the game has been registered on one system, and then ran on another, then Microsoft are making people pay for this. What if someones console breaks? they have to purchase the game again...? all these questions yet no answers).

As much as people will call me a "PlayStation fanboy" after this post, i truly believe in what i have said and i am let down by Microsoft even though i wasn't even considering buying there new system, i am still let down on what they have had to offer, hopefully they will show us something at E3 on June the 10th, and for Sony keep going and blow us away at E3

I hope you enjoyed this article, i took me quite a long time to type, but i have a lot of opinions... tell me what you think.

I suppose your right I think we both agree that ps4 will be the ultimate console

well i put gddr and lew said it was ddr so its staying like it now cba to keep swapping.

DDR5 is not out yet, not even DDR4, GDDR5 is the right thing, and it's the same RAM that is in HIGH-END PC GPU's

Theyre Pretty Similar

Yeah, because you have to log in every 24 hours on both, otherwise you cant play anymore.

Oh, and you have to always have the camera attached, or the console wont work for both.

You should change the 'Subscription Fee' of the PS4 to 5$/Month.
