Two incredible looking controllers. (Before they were revealed) I was slightly worried they'd rest on their laurels and barely change anything - maybe even use the same controllers again.. Its great to see signs of evolution in every element of both controllers.

Dem bumpers on the x1 controller. How weird are they?!

The phallic handle-nubs on the ps4 side are also weird . Both controllers took a lot more risks than i'd expected tbh.

They may well have done, they just aren't dumb enough to tell the whole internet about it.

If he hadn't done that he'd still probably be playing on his X1 now.

I still want a windows port - the X1 obviously isn't beefy enough to do it justice. :( Not cool.

(sounds like a troll comment, but I'm serious..)

Dont you have a million other devices that can play your music until they can get a patch finalised? Like maybe your ps3?

Im in the same boat - not including dlna was a shame. I think they'll het around to it. I can understand it being low priority.

Given the huge influx of players they're going to have - all with headsets - all wanting to use features like cross game chat - and they're soon going to offer streaming of games from an entirely different cpu architecture.

You think thats not going to take a significant amount more money to run than PSN has in the past?

4 player small scale couch co-op is a great thing to have at launch. :D this could be the PS4's equivalent of Calling All Cars.

We're really short on split-screen and local coop games. Everything is welcome.

Now we know ps4 controllers basic functions work as standard pc controllers when plugged into usb - will standard pc controllers work on the ps4 too?

I had completely forgotten about that feature! Yes, if that works well its definitely worth having. I was planning on using my capture card and camera setup, but if everythung can be handled by the ps4 itself that'll simplify things.

To be fair, a lot if kids love doing that, and I'm sure 3rd parties will cater to that audience. :)

Just Dance is working just with the camera. As far as i can tell we've seen nothing breaking down the capabilities of the new camera at all.

I preordered the camera. Might as well get some extra use from the move wands. I really like the optional nature of move and the camera.. People diss the PSMove, but it had pretty decent support all things considered. My daughter liked a lot of the casual stuff too. (Carnival games and just dance)

I do wonder how hood the camera's tracking is.. Looks like Just Dance 2014 doesnt even need PSMove to work, just the camera - like the kinect versions. Just how good is the Play...

The tragic.. Or possibly comical thing here depending on perspective. A DRM'd console is great because they can't close up Windows and get people to predominantly use their store. They're hurting because Apple and even Google with Play are making cuts of software profit.. In comes the X1 - saviour for software royalties.. That's one reason their messaging was so confused with them suggesting businesses buy them as PCs. They'd LOVE everyone to stop using PCs and use the clo...

This is talking about a single branch of Gamestop. I'm pretty sure they aren't going to be supplying all the world's PS4's from that one Gamestop.

It's pretty safe to invest based on your favourite studios and franchises, surely?

Launch titles mean very little, but it's always nice to have a strong one. The US's PS2 launch was pretty epic. The Playstation 1 - not so much. Total Eclipse, Toshinden and Street Fighter The Movie - Hardly set the stage for things to come did they?

By the end of the year all 3 consoles will have a lot of great stuff. It's a good time to be gaming. :)

You should be able to if it's like the ps3.

I dont regret my Dreamcast one bit. If the X1 only gets a couple of years support (unlikely) there'd still be some worthwhile titles there.

Its not a waste, depending on your criteria.

It is overpriced though, unless Kinect ends up getting some great content.

(Im not getting an x1 but i can see why someone would)

It's not very good propaganda - even when i agree with them i wouldn't want to be associated with most of them.

Thats not a Sony-specific thing though, theyre just vocal atm.

Hehe. Nvidia would say this after losing out on both consoles gpus.

Like always, hyperbole. Android, iOS, Win mobile and the consoles compliment each other and fill different niches.

I guess rules are rules.. Even if the rules are dumb sometimes.

The team that goes through apps looking for violations must have a pretty confusing job sometimes. Not sure whether it'd be unbearable or entertaining.

iOS is probably a good way of making back money and proving there's a demand for the game. If it does decently i'd put money on it making it over to handhelds too. Would be a bit of a wasted opportunity not to.

-Foxtrot - you're completely ignoring the fact that gamers buy and play these games ON mobile platforms. People carry phones because portable consoles are an extra inconvenience.

No i wouldn't have rather had GTA HD remakes on console. I could just run GTA in hd on the pc - having it on IOS - where it had never been before was nice! And great for a lot of people who dont have PS2s or the PC versions.

Gamers are gamers whatever they play on and games ...
