Wonder how many red rings of death this piece of shit will deal out? I hate to judge but looks like Sony has a win before the fight even begins unless they royally screw something up during their next big revealing.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
and you're basing this opinion on what? At this point there is too little real information out and just slightly more company BS from each party.
Steam Box will kill both of them. If it's all X86 architecture now, why buy something that you can't upgrade?
That really is a good question, especially if whatever Valve eventually backs is in the $500 range.
While you are right about the specs being in PS4's favor, this isn't the first time the PS had better specs and still lost a console war. If you check the link, the specs aren't really that much more powerful either.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is, it won't come down to specs when it comes to who's going to win this one. It'll come down to who has the better lineup of games and also the price. Longevity of both will also be a very huge factor when it comes to the late game (no pun intended.) And that is decided by numerous factors we don't know about right now.
If I had to get a console, I would pick the new Xbox for one reason and one reason alone...
...Forza.
(and I don't want to hear any "..yeah but Grand Tourismo..." crap)

The vast majority of games will be multiplatform, and since both are using x86 architecture, PC ports will be cheap and easy. I expect even more PC ports than this generation, which is saying something.
The fact that both systems have the same core architecture means that the PS4 is simply going to win out on performance from the very beginning. Their GPU is significantly better if the reported specs are accurate. It also have significantly higher memory bandwidth. I really don't see how the Xbox is going to compete with it.
The only way Microsoft is going to win is on price. If they are way cheaper, they can be competitive. If they are a similar price, they will lose.
True. Well, we'll just have to see I suppose. I would usually not have a problem with jumping ship from the Xbox to the PS but freaking Microsoft has the rights to a lot of nice IP's such as everything that Rare has made and Halo. Ugh. So that means, if this console loses, then those IP's will be unfairly shelved for who knows how long.

2 reasons I'm going "meh" over XBone/PS4
1. Consoles, don't care.
2. I'm still on my 15yr old CRT TV and I'm in no hurry to replace it

Hahaha Jim Sterling, no. This guy is a complete cunt who makes a living pissing people off, with his retarded opinions. The Xbone sucks, we don't need Sterling's wit and linguistic displays to highlight this fact.
Jim who? a complete what? look I never heard of this guy until yesterday.
relax Rambo.
what he's saying is spot on.
I don't care about his life story.

Form what I understand, the controller is now routed through the Kinect. Microsoft claims you can turn off the cameras and microphone, but the Kinect has to be connected to the XBox to provide a path for your controller. This is enough of an issue for many households to justify NOT purchasing a One system.
Privacy concerns are valid here, considering the fact that Microsoft filed a Kinect related patent last year that would allow a system to monitor a room to determine if the number of viewers in a room exceed the content provider's license. Why does Microsoft need to make any determination of whether or not I have violated any broadcaster's terms or licenses?
From what I've heard so far it seems like next gen I'll be frequently pimping my pc.
The sad part is that there will be that one gimmicky crap game that will get all the retarded pre-teens to go nuts over it and it will make the One a popular console. It happened with Halo and it happened again when Cliffyb tried to pretend he was an awesome storyteller. I'm sure they have something up their sleeves for this go around.
