Here is a good amount of info comparing the hardware of the two systems, I think a lot of this has been said already, but not all in one concise spot. Probably worth a read if you want a good summary of where the two systems stand compared to each other.

Consumer reports really needs a games division. One article says this, another article says something different. Not to mention all these fucking so called experts that make long posts on fucking internet message boards theorycrafting fucking console specs. Cant' wait till we get some actual side by side comparisons.

I'm basically going to stick by the advice I've given to every single person that has ever asked me "which console should I buy?"
Buy the one that has the most games you want to play.
If you love Forza and Halo, get the XB1. If you love Infamous and Killzone and SOCOM, get the PS4.
I've been telling people that ever since my days of selling Genesis vs SNES, or PS1 vs N64 vs Dreamcast, or PS2 vs Xbox vs Gamecube. Get the console with the games you want. It's great if you can afford to buy them all, but if not, get the one with games you want, nothing else matters more than that.

Pretty much spot on. Really just comes down to the games. Getting them both so I'm good either way. Still want more concrete details on the Xbones TV functionality with Kinect. Seems though that Cox and Comcast are rolling out more advanced boxes and services that do just about everything that XBone says it will do. That perk might be DOA.
Still goes back to my original point about needing a Consumer Reports for gaming. None of these gaming and tech sites are very credible.

PS - Joeboo - On Gamestop confences checked my paystubs, I think it was 97 or 98 (was only a full manager a small part of 96 so it seems unlikely it was 96 - like literally weeks into my management if it was in August that year - and only had the opportunity to go once of the three years I do recall [in Maryland, so I was only going when they'd pay for my flight which was just the once, heh]) - and misremembered the guest I spoke to it, was Richard Garriott (wrong MMO guy) that I met that year, not Brad.
And Uncharted games,The Last of Us, Ratchet & Clank, Grand Turismo, God of War, LBP, Twisted Metal, JRPGs, Indie games, etc.
I'm number 31 for the Xbone, the Kinect being the deciding factor. I realize that makes me less of arealgamer. I can live with that.

"New IP" generally implies a franchise - and they're not working on PS3 titles anymore.
So it's not a stretch to think so.

You caught me. I get paid by Microsoft to post on rerolled.org. They actually pay one Kinect per post, so now I have two. Who wants one?
Yeah, I don't expect The Last of Us to be a one-shot. Whatever Naughty Dog does on the PS4 will be probably be amazing regardless and far above anything Microsoft's first-party studios can do.

I think their statement that "Ellie and Joel's story is over but the world still has more stories to tell" or whatever quote of theirs makes it pretty clear too that they're planning to do SOMETHING with it. Even if it's just licensing it out for novels or whatever. But more games seems the most likely by far.
I'd guess they'd go the fallout route and have different stories in different areas of the same universe.
Totally disagree with this. I hate both, but I hate the 360 dash a bit less because of "my pins." Since I basically have one screen with every game/app I use. When I use ps3's UI, I feel like there are 50-something areas organize in no coherent fashion. It's irritating as hell and I avoid it as much as I can. I haven't used my ps3 much, but I'm selling my 360 this week so I'll be using it way more. Is there any way to make it better? I just wish these stupid UIs let us boot into our game library and just have a list of everything we have to play instead of having to navigate so much crap to find our things. I hate using the PS3 store, especially.

I get your point but a lot of those aren't system-selling franchises. Not too many people are making their system purchase decision solely because of twisted metal or LBP or indie games. Both systems have a handful of AAA unique franchises that move significant systems. A random JRPG doesn't.
