Quit acting not good Zinix.

Orbis aka PS4 is the least threatening.

Sony are already up to their old tricks again. Apparently their ditching the famous dual shock controller and are in the process of making a new gamepad with a touchscreen in the middle... Hmmm, I wonder where they got that innovative idea from?

Heres a leaked pic of their new controller:

Spoiler

.

I saw that too on my wii u news, maybe you read it there too, I dont think that the picture is the actual ps4 gamepad maybe a photo shop and that is if the ps4 is going to copy the wii u . If they do then I think this can be a good idea as more developers
will support it

we will have to see

they supposliny have a patten that lets you take your controler apart. 2 sections that can be put together to play more like normal, or appart for the PS move.

If ever a sony fanboy says that the wii u is a gimmick and let me say I do think that sony is a great company, tell them to look at this.

Everyone knocks Nintendo cause everyone is just a tech-head. All the performance debates.... but no one thinks about either cost, software dev times etc.. The WiiU performace gap in my take, will be another Wii vs PS3/360 scenario. BUT.. how much more performance do we need? We have relished in some extravagant glorious content filled and beautiful games. The higher the graphics and game complexities, will be less noticable as u climb. Ud have to squint at ur TV pixels to notice the next res step up from 1080p.
Also in a first,Nintendo is selling their Highly conservative system at a loss. If thats how far they have to go to sell at a price ppl arent liking... wait till Sony + M'soft launch thier systems. With that kinda hardware plus no doubt new extreme peripherals for them. Either they will be unaffordable for the consumers, or the companies are gonna have to sell at self-destructive losses. Sony was lucky to survive with PS3. First 2 years literally billions under. Which brings another point. Sony are in a horrible position. Vita is being anhialated by 3DS. And PS4 may not sell at all. PS3 as mentioned only just barely made its success at the end of the gen. With everyone just buying PS3's now..... how long will it take to push their customer base onto PS4? And M'soft running Win 8 on their machine, hmm maybe open to hacks,cracks, n glitches... Will see.
Steam box wont compete with consoles, again, too tech orientated for the markets, requiring knowledge, upgrade requirments and a complex setup in the home to take advantage of... parents, children, and non-minded ppl wont follow with that. WiiU is selling better than its competitors in their equivalent 360/PS3 launch frames. And will have AAA first party games nigh on guaranteed. Got my WiiU and likely getting all the games. The market right now is at its most brutal... Nintendo has been holding out actually quite well.

Nintendo fans really don't care about getting into a pissing contest with Sony fans. Not that Nintendo can't win mind you...but it's irrelevant since software rules. However, this time around we have more muscle with the Wii U compared to the older systems( i.e. 360, PS3). Just like the 3DS vs Vita...the power diffrence won't be such a big gulf compared to the PSP vs DS!!!

You know, if you actually took the time to think about what this actually means, you'd agree with it.

This is all true except the very first part. Nintendo fanboys will get into a pissing contest any day of the week over anything. Just like any other fanboy.
But the rest is very very true. And the realization of that much much smaller gap is just starting to hit home all over the internet.

You have no idea what it means.

Uh yes I do.

[3Dude]

Uh yes I do.

Oh for the love of God, will you just say what you think it means so I can correct you.

Because if you disagree with this, which you claim you do, you think nintendo is going out of business any second now.

... doenst windows 8 take 1-2 GB of ram to run adn the xbox720 rumors say it will run 512KB for the operating system? when they need more extra RAM to run Kenict2.0?

but if you want a accreatish guess of hwo good the other systems will be, look at year-year and a half early guesses from all the other launches, to what it actualy was. im betting both will be weaker than current spec rumors. I do agree that there is a point will hardware wont mean a thing, current gen had pushed enough that the only real improvement they can make is graphics, upscaling the environment wont be a upgrade but wont mean to much overall 10 people in a small place vs 100 in a space 10x the size, wont notice much of a difference except feguriong out the map takes longer. expect the strongest system to be PS4, but wont buy unless sony gets out of there financial issues, doubt it, they took down PSN. xbox720's extra power is waisted on gimmicks, which will make it a small jump from xbox360 visualy, and gameplay wise.

I think it was the orbis rumour that put out the 512 MB for the os. But I cant remember for sure.

[ElderKnight77]

512 MB to run W8 is bull$hit started by M$ fanboys who would like to bloat the systems specs. (I have a x360 mind you and love the system) The very, bare minimum to run W8 is about a Gig or RAM. Want proof? Just look at the systems requirements here :http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements and that doesn't take into account other things MS will add to customize the user experience for gaming. At min it will be a 1GB just like the Wii U. The PS4 on the otherhand may getaway with half that but highly doubt it.

I think it was the orbis rumour that put out the 512 MB for the os. But I cant remember for sure.

The Orbis will need more than 512MB since Android's latest version 4.1 won't run with systems having 512 MB of RAM or less. http://htcsource.com...to-android-4-1/
