Playstation 4 (PS4) vs. Xbox 720
August 8, 2009 by Sony PS4
Filed under Playstation 4 Rumors
The Playstation and Xbox have been going at it since Microsoft has gotten into the console business, and the next generation of consoles will be no different. The current consumer is not yet ready for the next generation of consoles, but its not too early to start looking at what may be coming, and what should be coming. A lot of crazy rumors have gone around regarding the Playstation 4, we have even help spread many of them (always in the Playstation 4 rumor section), but in reality it is not necessary for Playstation to launch first, and will likely not even be announced until a year after the Xbox 720.

Microsoft was only able to wait four years after the launch of the Xbox before they announced the Xbox 360, while the Playstation 3 was launched 6 years after the Playstation 2. Longer console life means more profitability for the company, and usually better services and products because of it! And the 2 year stretch has nothing on what Sony could get away with now…
The Xbox 720 will likely be necessary within a year or so for Microsoft to continue to keep pace with the Playstation 3 game capabilities, thats just to keep up. Few of the existing Playstation 3 games use all of the possible disk space that the Blu-Ray technology allows, meaning there is a lot of growth available still for the Playstation 3 market… And the longer the Playstation 3 can stay around, the less it will cost developers to utelize and thus more/better games.
With the Xbox 360 sales begining to drop, and current hardware limitations, it is likely that Microsoft will be the next to launch a new console… for now referred to as the Xbox 720. Current assumed plans for the Xbox 360 include price cuts for the coming Christmas sales rush, and possibly again late in the spring.

Xbox launching their next generation console likely 2 or 3 years before Sony even announces the next generation of Playstation, will give Sony the opportunity to live up to the 10 year console lifespan commited to earlier. This type of spread will also give Playstation amazing market share, and more than enough time to make up for all of the money invested into the Playstation 3, which lets admit, the Playstation 3 over delivers in every way the hardware can.
The number of upgrades that can still be added to the Playstation 3, make it unlikely to see a Playstation 4 in the next couple of years, and the only NECESSARY hardware upgrade is something to compete with the Wii motion sensing capabilities… wonder if it will be an upgrade or introduced on the Playstation 4?
In our opinion Playstation 4 will stand head and shoulders above the Xbox 720, and likely have foes we have not even known yet… could Apple be brewing up a system? Xbox or Playstation 4, who do you think will launch first?

yo playstation4 is gonna be 3_D no dout about that ps4 coming out is gonna chan ge d gamin world so all gamers like me out der step up ur game by getin a ps4 2012 is gonna be da bomb
Its funny that the Sony fans talk about how the PS4 will be better than the 720 but have they been watching whats been happening in todays market? Sales of the 360 this last year have outpaced the PS3 by 17%.
No one can compete with Microsoft when Microsoft focuses their marketing and efforts into a specific discipline whether it be consoles, software or whatever. The “Sony is better than the xBox” people are the same ones that told us years ago that Linux and Apple would take over Windows…LOL
LOL… Windows was always #1, will always be…
Just as Playstation is and will be #1
But you Xbox fans are always welcome
PLayStaTion has All wAys been on top since ps1 days, no cRappy pC rip off (xbox) will change ThaT
The Xbox 360 is inferior to the PS3. If we could get some half way decent 3rd party devolopers to stop porting INFERIOR xbox games to PS3 and just learn the language you would really get to see the PS3′s capabilities. If you look at the exclusives (Uncharted 2, MGS4, Killzone2) PS3′s exclusives blow away the competition on a graphics and gameplay standpoint. I’m not saying the Xbox is horrible. I think they still need to work on the system more, but they’ve got the online mastered. I do think that PS should incorporate the anoalog positions on the controler, which they can since xbox took the 4 upper buttons from the ps (eg L1,L2, R1, and R2)The PS3 is truly an entertainment system. I had the xbox, yeah i’m not paying for a HD drive when HD is dead. I RROD 3 times (which i’ve heard they fixed, but don’t believe cause i have friends with some of the newer generations and still have that problem)I think that some of those issues are user error too. Putting it in an enclosed area or what not. But still lets analyze what we got here Xbox 360 comes with 120 gig HDD for the 299 you get on wireless (not rechargable) controller no wifi regular dvd player and that’s it. PS3 299 120 gig hDD comes with 1 rechargable bluetooth wireless controller wi fi , internet browser, sony’s best blu-ray player(lets not forget sony mainly makes electronic components, dvd player, blu-rays and so on ps3 has the highest rated bluray player still) free Playstation network and so on. One thing i do like about the ps3 controller if im waiting on a loading screen and i run to the kitchen i can pause the game from upto 30 feet away, let’s see you do that with 2nd rate RF. I think the only reason xbox is still doing so well is because of fan boy word of mouth, and people buying system multiple times. PS3>Xbox 360 but 360 is not bad
okay first u x-box 720 fans get off a ps4 website and next ps4 ftw
XBOX is AMAZING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH ITS way BETTER
