Cross game chat,PS3 backward compatibility and an awesome list of AAA launch titles with a smart pricing might make Sony win the Next gen console war with release of PLAYSTATION 4.

RedDead5441d ago

A headset that comes with the console aswell. This was a good thing about the 360. Although those headsets are terrible, i've went through about 7 of them, I don't have one anymore.

Yi-Long5441d ago

... that's all I really need. Not 'streaming' .mkv support, but just the ability to hook up an external HDD on the USB-port and watch .mkv files.

crxss5441d ago

better triggers for the DualShock 4, PLEASE!

jony_dols5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

Having mkv support encourages film piracy,

It wouldn't be that logical if they did implement mkv support ,especially because Sony profit big time from blu-ray, digital video rentals & from their film studios....

Hey, I'd love to have it, but I don't think it would be wise of Sony.

Jezuz5441d ago

People could already put movies in pendrives and copy it over to the PS3 so I don't see your point jony_dols.

jony_dols5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

@jezuz:

Mkv is the format of most 720p & 1080p films on torrent sites.

The PS3 supports MP4, Xvid & MPEG2 which are common formats for digital video cameras and smartphone/handy cam footage, and this was the intended purpose of the media support back when the PS3 was launched in 2007 (Sony hailed it as a device to display your pictures & home movies, thats why the old 60gb PS3 has a SD card & MS Pro duo slots).

Adding mkv support makes watching pirated films & tv shows a lot more convenient, without the need to convert formats ect.

Jdoki5441d ago

@Pixel Pusher

Why the heck would the PS4 need or want Thunderbolt? Even USB 3 would be a fairly pointless addition.

What reason would there be to have such high data transfer speeds? Thunderbolt isn't going to replace HDMI for monitors/HDTV. If it was used for future upgrades (such as an external GPU add-on), it would just fragment the user-base.

And who wants to pay 50$ for a Thunderbolt cable???

good launch games. good working web browser. good price to start off with not freaking $1000. usb 3. good looking console

dabri55441d ago

While I wouldn't complain if they had a web browser, I just don't see the need for it. I have a computer and have never found myself in need of using the web browser on the system. What time I have spent with it has been extremely clunky because of the controller.

vsr5441d ago

1. Full BC with PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PSV
2. Multi cell processors for CPU + GPU (2 in 1)
3. SSD & more ram (MS & NIN will use HDD in their next)
4. Bluray with even more space
5. Upgraded Dualshock
6. Finally An Affordable Price

Snakefist305441d ago

I just want games in 1080 @ 60fps and Dx 11 supported or better open GL whatever and I want PS4 TO HAVE 4gb ram!

dabri55441d ago

wont happen. As long as developers have the option of lowering the resolution and fps to get more performance out of the system, they will. You may see games at first at 1080p 60 fps but come year 2 of the system, you will start to see varying results.

Unfortunately, the only way you can ever guarantee that you will always have 1080p 60fps games is if you buy a computer because the developers can't lock the resolution and fps down due to varying hardware builds.

Pillville5441d ago

DirectX is Microsoft's, so it will never be on a Playstation.

What do you think the X in Xbox means? It's a DirectX box.

r215441d ago

so that's where the name came from, i was seriously wigged out by the name.
considering that the xbox isnt shaped like an X....at all, so yeah gracias dude.

jdfoster005441d ago

No. It will be in microsoft. DX support is not locked to only MS andyone can have DX support like the ps3 has...

Pillville5441d ago

@jdfoster00
Care to show me any PS3 games that use MS's proprietary graphics API, a.k.a. DirectX?

Or DirectX running on ANY platform except MS's?

geniusgamerdoc5441d ago

All i need is a price tag of under $350 and im sold.

The Meerkat5441d ago

A minimum of 60 fps on each game
Cross game chat.
A selection of controller styles (for big handed people)

dabri55441d ago

You can't guarantee 60fps on every game. Because of fixed hardware, developers will push the always try to get more performance out of it by sacrificing in other areas. Mostly AA, fps, or resolution.
Only PC can do this because the hardware can change that plays the game. Game code is adaptive to the hardware so it will run as well as the hardware lets it.

shreeveera5441d ago

A selection of Colour options will be great aswell.
Gimme a maroon PS4 please.

IamTylerDurden12981d ago (Edited 2981d ago )

Some of the hardest platinums imo.

Orcs Must Die Uchained

Enter The Gungeon

Max Payne 3

Nuclear Throne

Super Meat Boy

bouzebbal2980d ago (Edited 2980d ago )

Velocity 2X
DJ Hero
SF4
KZ2
WipEout HD
...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of

jerethdagryphon2980d ago

Kz 2 the online was a stupid requirement

Knushwood Butt2980d ago

Congrats on Velocity 2X

I got the silver for 25 perfects...

joab7772980d ago

For me, in my run, it’s Lost Planet 2 and Killzone 2 before it’s patch. But about 3 yrs ago, I stopped chasing pointless trophies that are just wasted hours.

jazzking20012980d ago

i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.

jerethdagryphon2980d ago

Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions

2pacalypsenow2981d ago

MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.

How is Killzone 2 not on this list?

jazzking20012980d ago

I have never played K2, thus not on the list.

kuraki_dan2980d ago

This list is trash.... infamous took me less than 24 hours to plat and resogun only a few days.... so many much harder/actually time consuming games. Warhawk for example...

Sniperwithacause2980d ago

OMG dude! You beat me to it. As soon as I started scrolling thru comments, and didnt see Warhawk yet I was going to post it.

the worst2980d ago

Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it

franwex2980d ago

Still working on the mgs v one. So far I’m about 130 hours in. All I need to do is collect all the damn animals, beat the target tests on mother base, do the secondary objectives on the campaign. Phew.

Gameseeker_Frampt2980d ago

Killzone 2 is super hard now that the servers shut down yesterday.

joab7772980d ago (Edited 2980d ago )

That’s is my hardest before Radec was patched. I spent 9 straight hrs fighting him on Elite. And finally got him! Lost Planet 2 is also absurd!

And Dead Space 2 was tough, going through with like 3 saves for the whole game.

And is MGS 4 harder? I haven’t played 5, but going through 4 without alerting or dying is tough.

Knushwood Butt2980d ago

Radec was patched?

I admit I gave up.

IamTylerDurden12980d ago

My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.

dariux322980d ago

I am working on it right now. And game is stil fun to play in challenge mode.

jazzking20012980d ago

i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy

jerethdagryphon2980d ago

You dont need a bug just need to practice a bit

SonyWarrior2980d ago

Socom confrontation is the true hardest plat they made that dumb hard to ever get the plat i doubt any one in the world besides the devs got the plat

2pacalypsenow2980d ago

Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4

DaBudSmoka2980d ago

I got the socom platinum...so yea

AKS2980d ago (Edited 2980d ago )

That's the one that people seem to notice most. Several people have commented about that when they've checked out my trophies. I was more proud of getting the Big Boss Emblem in MGS4 in terms of gaming accomplishments, but alas there were no trophies when I got it.

jazzking20012980d ago

i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now

AKS2980d ago (Edited 2980d ago )

The Big Boss Emblem was from a "perfect" run with no kills, health items, or alerts in under 4 hours on the most difficult setting. I feel like I should have a trophy for that.

jerethdagryphon2980d ago

Demons souls was pretty easy only pure bladestone was hard

The 10 Best Selling Gaming Consoles Of All-Time (As Of December 2017)

PS4 just earned a new rank as it continues its journey to 100 million.

PhoenixUp3093d ago

I could’ve sworn the Genesis sold 40 million

kevnb3093d ago

i thought so too, the xbox one is probably already past 31 million as well.

badz1493093d ago

Best selling PS4 game is UC4 at 4 mil+?? WTF? It's not the best selling game on PS4 but it still sold like 10mil copies already by now.

kevnb3093d ago

ya, that uncharted 4 bundle sold like crazy.

Lime1233093d ago

I thought Uncharted 4 had better first week than Halo 5 in UK (where Xbox One is strongest, next to US), and it wasn't bundled then.

?

FyBy3093d ago

Wow ps4 shows its strenght. After 4 years is already in top 10. Surprise for me was og ps. I didnt knew it surpassed wii. And 62m for NES. Wow!

kevnb3093d ago (Edited 3093d ago )

sony is the only console maker that seems to be able to do really well in the entire world consistently. Xbox has troubles outside the west, Nintendo sometimes has problems in Europe, but Sony is killing it everywhere.

FyBy3093d ago

Yeah exactly! It was surprise for me, that every gen of ps is on the list. Nintendo is saved by its software and uniquenes. They have extremely well accepted first party titles.

Aceman183092d ago

PS1 didnt surpass Wii, it's just the Wii fell short of PS1 lol. Assuming we have another 2-3 yrs of the gen Sony will be only gaming company with 3 systems selling over 100 mil units. That is just inssne.

3093d ago
joab7773092d ago

Wow! Sony has 3 of the top 4 and the PS4 looks to be moving up into one of those spots. Crazy after all the issue with the PS3, it outsold the 360. And they turned it around by taking MS's lead. They focused on 1st party titles and making the gamer their top priority, like MS did for the 360s first 3-4 yrs. Then they started thinking too far ahead like their PC division.

PS4's Latest European Commercial Goes After Kids

This is interesting: a PlayStation 4 commercial targeted squarely at kids. Sony’s spent the past few years marketing the machine mostly at adults and core gamers, but it has hinted in recent interviews that it wants to widen the reach of the console as it pursues that all-important 100 million units milestone, and this is an example of that.

I like the way PES is the hardcore footballers choice of game for the kids. Even though we all know FIFA is on their Santa lists and the never heard of PES lol.

Sir_Meowface3202d ago

Lol, totally true, I dont think ive ever seen a kid even mention PES.
