It'll just be the Japan release date, but it'll be surprisingly early and come with a surprising exclusive. That's my guess, I know it's not as exciting as some, but it's realistic.
@CerebralAssassin If you want a system that can do more than play games there's this thing called PC ;)
Also, ps4 does more than just play games, you know? Sony just don't push it to the fore when speaking, part of their strategy, and it's not replying on hardware gimmicks to appear different... but look at Sony's VR work in the past and the rumours of the future and there you have something that has real potential to push the envelope.

Good and fair write up on the whole, at least as far as the current state of play, but there are a couple of points to make:
"The PS360 both have almost 80 million users" - 80m sales each, but not 80m users of both formats - much less.
"and add an actual 120GB+ HDD into the console" - too late, devs work to base specs.
"With those changes the Wii U becomes more appeasing to Nintendo’s core fanbase who should be around...
@cyguration
"we can't ignore that Nintendo completely won 7th gen with the Wii. Technically the PS3 lost (until earlier this year) and the 360 will go out the absolute loser when it's all said and done."
You can. You can forget all that. Because none of that is relevant now. This is Wii U vs ps4 vs xbox one and still vs ps3 and xbox 360.
At the current price point and with the library of games and lack of 3rd party support, ...
Smells like another scam site.
Jaguar sold more than 350 in Poland in the first year.
"just Poland"? It's got a bigger population than Canada , twice as big as the Netherlands or over 3 times as big as Sweden. However you look at it, Poland isn't some tiny little backwater!
Put it this way - The Polish bought 1 Wii U per every 110,000 citizens in the large stores :P
Good luck at $499.
It won't be as simple as going to a friend's house, signing in and playing there and then - games on ps3 are around 15-20GB - that's a hefty download/install before you're up and running, even if it allows you to play the initial levels/areas before the full install is complete. That hardly compares with pulling a BD out of your bag and sticking it in the drive with a potential minimal install.
(maybe even by the end of 2013!)
"we’ve had the best lineup of any console of games" - highly debatable.
"we’ve been sold out on preorders for the Xbox One for several weeks now" - untrue and means nothing without exact numbers.
"there’ll be tens of millions of buyers in the first year... for $499, our price point, we think the value we provide for that is a very good deal" - >20m xbox ones sold at $499 in year one? Dream on!
"we can cos...

This. Game. Looks. Stunning.
Availability for the Forza bundle will be widespread, what ms are doing it trickling them out creating hype and demand. The game "pack in" is a digital download code - they could quite easily give it with every single console they offer from now to release, but by limiting it to a few hundred here and there they're creating a buzz fed by those who manage to grab one and demand for those who don't.
Simple marketing tactics at play, nothing new and something i...
Who are they trying to convince with this stuff? Surely not the indies themselves, 'cause they're just going to read that and think "ah, so same old same old Microsoft".
Microsoft seemed like they had begun to turn a corner after all their disasters, but just recently the cockiness and arrogance has once again started to seep out of their PR pores. Spencer, Panello and Hryb are tripping over each other to be next with yet another outpouring of insidious conc...
Stunning.
Take a look at some 1080P footage and look at the detail - those aren't simple particle effects - that's all tiny solid objects. I posted a link to the gamescom press pack above, check it out.
Yep, and you only really see just how impressive that is when you see the 1080P raw footage or play it first hand. Wish I could find the link to the GamesCom press pack mp4, it is *stunning*.
EDIT: got it! Absolutely stunning 160mb video in there http://www.dropbox.com/s/p4...
@Mystogan Big naughty words - how very impressively you add to the conversation.
Enjoy the "Bad language" bubbles, you earned them.
JRTS, not JRPG (hit me with those disagrees, kids!)
