It would be nice if there was one giant conglomerate for game consoles, a PXii kind of thing, but that will never happen. So what differentiates PlayStation games from Xbox gamers?

There are a few common grounds for the consoles that have gravitated players. Most Xbox players are dedicated to a certain game that is Xbox-only, like Halo or Gears of War. But games like Call of Duty span both consoles!

It all depends on what kind of gamer you are. Yes, PS and Xbox are both great for RPG-adventure games, personal shooters, and party games. We do admit, though, that the Xbox Kinect’s motion sensor (instead of a controller) beats the PSMove. A rumor a few months ago said that the PS4 was in development with a Kinect-type sensor, yet it is just a rumor.

But Sony has always had better quality graphics in the PlayStation than the Xbox, probably because they specialize in televisions and software while Microsoft focuses more on software.

I’ve heard so many complaints about the “red ring of death” on the Xbox 360, but the newer versions have already fixed this issue. So now what? They’re still beat on graphics.

Even though it broke down, PlayStation Network is very similar to Xbox Live, although it seems that Xbox Live ends up with more dedicated players due to their social connections: it’s always better to play with a friend than by yourself (FYI, this is why Wii will never be on par: they don’t have a comparable online network).

So where do you weigh in? Look at the current generation and tell us which console you prefer? What do you expect from the PS4 and Xbox 720 in the future? Which would you buy first?

Why? Well, much of the speculation stems from the PlayStation Vita price. Sony told us during E3 that the Vita will start at $249, the exact same price as the 3DS release, which is probably the reason Nintendo had to drop prices (and the fact it wasn’t selling as well as Nintendo expected for the first 3D portable gaming device).

But because of this price drop, more and more people are pushing for a PSV price cut. They think the Vita will “fail” if they don’t drop the price.

My opinion? That’s ridiculous.

The PS Vita is so much more powerful that the Nintendo 3DS that is isn’t even funny. The power of the hardware, the graphics, internet gameplay, and social networking (and we can’t forget the cameras, touchpad, and Near) put this platform far, far beyond the reach of the 3DS, even if Sony didn’t opt to go 3D with the PSP successor.

How do we know it will still succeed? Because Vita pre-orders are already sky high, letting us know that the Vita will sell-out upon release (and we aren’t surprised by that in the least).

Another reason why the PS Vita beats Nintendo 3DS? It can do what the Wii U (which releases next year) is hyped up over: console gameplay on a portable screen.

Sorry, Nintendo: it seems that Sony will beat you guys again in the technology department, and a simple price-cut won’t fix anything. Quality is always better than saving cash when it comes to gaming.

The entire point of those commercials is that, when you finally save up the money and buy the next big gadget you’ve wanted (like the iPad or iPhone), the next one hits the market within a few months, sometimes weeks. Now there is the iPad 2 and iPhone 4, one for each year the device has been on the market (and that gets expensive).

The Epic Games leader, Mike Capps, weighed in on the effect that Apple will have on PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720: in short, he said the next generation consoles are completely worthless.

In a way, he’s almost right. Look at how quickly smartphones have taken over the market. Now they run on dual-core with 1GhZ RAM, remarkable for a portable device that is supposed to only do phone calls and texts. Games like Angry Birds flood the market, playable everywhere and addicting in their simplicity. But what if smartphones went one step further into console territory?

What Capps means is that, with the way iPhone keeps excelling, it makes sense that in a few years (like the iPhone 8 ) will be able to work as a controller and console in one. Simply plug into the TV and play.

While this seems possible, why would anyone want to rely on the same device for both gaming and phone calls? And I know a few of you have thrown a controller when a little PO’d at a game: imagine you threw your console everytime you threw a controller. That’s just plain silly!

But the thing that seems interesting: smartphones progress much faster than consoles, always getting faster and better. If someone wanted to buy the Xbox 720 or PS4, they’re shelling out at least $500 for the console and guts.

So, what would be a good solution to this predicament? One way would be to have a console “shell”, kind of like a tower, that can have pieces upgraded as Sony or Microsoft release better technology. Yeah, you’d probably end up spending more over time, but at least it would be optional instead of having to buy an entire new console every few years – and it would always be top of the line!

What do you think? Rumors abound about Xbox 720 and PS4 release dates, but is this just nonsense? Is Capps right?

The Wii U controller is 6.2 inches of touchscreen and movement. It can work with the TV off as a way to play, or as an extra accessory (like viewing inventories for Zelda).

Expected to release between April and December of 2012, the fact that Nintendo is revealing parts of the Wii U should help us PS gamers a little. The added competition should put some pressure on the PlayStation developers, especially since there are rumors around the internet about Xbox 720 developers being hired within the past months.

Especially with the statements made by the CEO, we’ve been speculating that the PS4 may reach us as soon as 2013, but 2014 seems more likely.

2011 and early 2012 will be great times for Sony PlayStation as they release three new groups of devices. The first is, of course, the PS Vita, which is already available for pre-order and will launch holiday season 2011.

Another new device is the PS 3D Monitor, which has the same release time. While it is not yet available for pre-order, it is sure to be a much sought-after addition for a gamer.

The third group of devices is the Sony Tablet. With two versions and compatibility with PlayStation One games, they are sure to be hits.

But, still, with the new technology in all these devices, it would be awesome to combine all of them. PlayStation has the capability to join the Tablet, Vita, and 3D Monitor into a next generation console that will blow the competition out of the water, including the Wii U.

What do you think?

A quote from Phil Spencer

“We instead want consumers and developers to know that we are all going to make a huge return on that original investment in the hardware – the one Microsoft made in building it, the one developers made in making games for it, and the investment consumers made in buying the console. In the current climate that’s something people are going to appreciate much more.”

With all that said, its illogical to assume they are telling the truth when they say they wont need another console ever, just that they are unwilling to commit to anything now… And remember when a new console is on the way (which is currently unlikely from microsoft) they will still be denying it.

What do you think? Is the xbox 720 on indefinite hold?

Anyways just because the Xbox360 sold more units, or should I say 17% last year, doesn’t make it any better than the PS3 and or the 720 being better than the PS4. There very equal, with each having their ups and downs, pros and cons. I don’t like the Xbox360 interface, but I love the PS3’s. Xbox Live is more reliable than PS3’s online performance. The thing with that is that all Xbox360 games are run on Microsoft Servers, and PS3’s games are run on the servers of the developer who made that game. Then theres the red ring of death error. LOL EPIC FAIL! That has to be the most stupidest thing ever than a high end gaming system overheats and screws up. 33% of all of them! Come on man! Screw that, and then you had to wait 2 weeks to get a “refurbished” xbox? I hear some people have gone through at least 10 of them! I got it the other day, but I fixed it…smacked it with a wrench a few times…lol! I have heard little to no falures with the PS3. Then again both systems have their flaws, and so will the PS4 and the Xbox720, assuming those are the correct names.

It all really boils down to preference. Really guys, their equal. Xbox fanboys need to shut their yaps before I shut em permanently, and same goes for the PS fanboys, equally as annoying. Anyways, theirs my 2 sense, gotta run, criminology test today! Toodles!
