PS4 thoughts?

so far it seems like it is going to turn out better than xbox 720. the hole speculations with xbox 7200 multiplayer and game wise seem bad, but ps4 doesn't seem to have anything negative yet.

I regret buying the PS3, it ended up being an overpriced media player for me. I prefer PC gaming, and you can actually mod the games.

I'm sure the PS4 will have amazing specs but then Sony will put a crappy UI on it and restrict everything so much that it will not be worth it.

Interesting you mention that, because that the PC gaming reason is what I usually hear against the xbox. More of the xbox library is on PC than PS3. Maybe you don't xbox game either, but having to pay for live and most of the big xbox titles being on PC seems to be the xbox pitfalls, and not as much with the PS3. At least, if you are not into Kinect gaming.

On a honest look at the consoles, PS3 really gets a bad rap. I think it is because they for years were a lot more expensive. When 90% of the games have the same visual performance as a system $200 less, and that at the time HD DVDs were still a possible media. You look at the systems right now, PS3 has a cleaner and easier interface, free online, some good 1st party games that you can't just get on the PC, and a fast blu ray player. And it is still a more reliable machine.

This might sound like an anti xbox post, but I still would probably go with them above sony in a heartbeat if they stopped charging for Live. I know far more xbox gamers online than ps3 gamers, but my online gaming habits are far to erratic to justify paying on a constant basis.

Very true, but they way Microsoft has been talking, I think they will be going the same route.

Xbox charges users for live and shoves ads in our faces.  They also force game updates and kick you offline if you don't accept.  If I'm going to play online with other people fine but if I just want to play a single player game let me decide when to update (assuming I even want to).

PS4 info on memory,gpu,cpu and other.

PC gaming still beats console gaming. and the ps3 was never bad, just people i actually enjoyed playing with all had xbox 360, and the controller, i prefer xbox controller.

ps4 will not be bad though.

I've heard enough complaints about the xbox controller being so much better than the ps3 controller. It must be true. I think I am just numb to it because I have used the dualshock for so many years. I remember I used to hate it back in the PS1 days. I had no clue what good a second thumbstick on the right would do.

Now the original Xbox controller, that one undeniably sucked.

the PS3 controller is very much better than the x360 controller; you're right.  there is zero room for argument on this, in my mind.  It just suits my hands better, and the D-pad on the 360 controller is beyond useless.
