I'm glad to see that the big names are considering all of this. Cloud gaming has a lot of potential.

No, that's a bad idea. They would definitely need their new console to release before, or during the holidays.

The 04/04/2014 is a neat idea, but in a real world situation it wouldn't rake in enough profit in a month like April. Now, what they could do, is release the PS4 before the holiday of 2013, and announce and or release those games on 4/4/14, and have games like Little Big Planet 3, inFAMOUS 3, etc. in 2013.

It will be equivalent to technology from 2010-2011 most likely. Consoles, usually, have technology that's a bit dated to allow developers to know what they're working with.

That's not to say, however, that because it's technology will be a year or so behind, doesn't mean it's games will look bad. If it DOES have a GPU equivalent from 2010-2011, it's games will look phenomenal, provided that they throw in enough RAM to not have it bottleneck.

All you have to do is a litle research.

My top 360 titles would be

Alan Wake
Lost Odyssey
Gears of War
Blue Dragon
Mass Effect
Splinter Cell Conviction
Crackdown
Dead Rising
Deadly Premonition (Yes, it's really good)
Geometry Wars 2
Earth Defense Force 2017
Fable 2
Ninja Gaiden 2 (I consider the 360 version an exclusive in it's own right)

If I were to do this, I'd get him a 4gb 360 with Kinect, and a membership to Netflix. Using Kinect with netflix is a godsend for browsing, and my dad is a computer radio engineer, so he'd get a kick out of using Kinect as well.

Regarding that first link; yeah right. That would exist in maybe the year 2015-2017, and if it is true, you'd have to expect to pay MORE than $600 for something like that.

That's not a logical move in anyway for Sony.

Halo 4 out-pre-ordered every franchise on that list combined except for Assassin's Creed 3, in which case it was only 1594 pre-orders away from doing so.

Damn.

This game actually looks pretty neat.

Man, what are you talking about? All I said was "it's a damn game console". Is it not a game console? I don't know what all of this "double standard" stuff, let alone motion controls and this "what if" scenario has to do with my comment.

Sorry, but I don't see any child wanting to buy a book for their PS3, let alone sitting down for a couple of hours and actually playing it.

If I were to buy my children something cate...

I'm gonna say it's more believable that they're holding off from the conferences in preperation for something new, rather than having nothing to show.

No, I would buy them LeapFrog for their educational gaming needs, since its won many awards for it's educational properties. If anything, I would rather have my kids active while playing video games, so they're not laying down all the time.

The PS3 is losing direction if this is their attempt to cater to a young audience.

You're in denial if you think a child, adolescent, or teenager will buy a book to play on their PS3. It's a damn game console, that plays video games. If they want a book, they'll buy an actual book.

Honestly, who would buy a book for their PS3 over a video game?

If a ban happens, it means it is banned. And if it is banned for a piece of hardware inside of the console, it will result in either a massive fee being paid, or a recall from the market.

Both of those options can easily result in job layoffs.

High textured AYUSS.
