They win because they require it too with an inferior service? It will upset some people, but Xbox One will have weaker online and will lose in that sector. That doesn't make Xbox One win anything.

I agree 100%. I can't wait for that game, I was so excited while I was watching that trailer.

To all the Aussies here, Sony has confirmed that the PS4 will be available at $549.

Inferior internet? It costs less for Xbox Live now, and they still have free to play options available that are actually free.
The ONLY downside to Xbox One is going online every 24 hours, and we still don't know the details.
Please explain how Sony's online is better.

How much does Xbox live cost now?
How is it better, lets see, the social feature, free games, and discounts have outclassed what XBL will be offering. Where does it say you need PS Plus to play FTP games? I missed that.

Check a few posts back. Idk if it applies to free-to-play games.

Before the show I was leaning towards PS4 as my No. 2 console, but I said I wouldn't get it until it dropped below $400. Because of the $399 price tag, and confirmation of Kingdom Hearts III, and Final Fantasy XV, I am happy to say I will be getting a PS4 this fall!

You're mixed up, bro. Xbox Live will still cost as much as it does on Xbox 360. We know this, because Xbox 360 will still be supported off of the same subscription. Xbox One will have social features, too. Did you even watch the first Xbox One announcement? They were 'skyping' in splitscreen mode.
Everybody has free to play games. Sony will be charging an extra $10 for free to play. Is it confirmed that you can play DriveClub without PS+?

Driveclub's available to buy as a regular retail release. PS+ simply adds it to the Instant Game Collection for download, where other PS+ games are included (8 of which are added just from this month alone).

Going online every 24 hours to play games you own...used game restrictions and the £429 price tag.

Those are BIG downsides.

I'm bias. I'll admit that. I had already made my mind up that I wasn't going to get a Xbone more than a year ago because of how they turned the 360 from a games console into a billboard advertisement.
The press conference (and their show last month) has just given me valid reasons not to own a Xbone.

I just got done watching the Sony conference, and wow! The Kingdom Hearts 3 announcement actually made me cheer out loud, and I've not done that since Twilight Princess! Fantastic news on the price too. I'm pretty sure only their own supply is going to limit their sales this holiday. They're going to sell every unit they make, and I'm not sure the same will be true for MS.

PS4: 500GB hard drive can be swapped-out by users

PS4 will be region-free for games, Yoshida confirms

I think we all knew the PS4 would be region-free with a swap-out HDD, but it's good to here Sony confirm this.

That seems crazy from a Nintendo fanboy's eyes. No stupid region locked consoles?!?!? That seems almost too go to be true! I got to be honest, Sony has done a really good job at presenting the their next gen console. I kind want a PS4 first..... then a Wii U!!! What am I saying?!?!? Forgive me Reggie.....

The price is very pleasing and the hardware is more powerful than the xbox one. Then there's the ability to play completely offline, not have every activity monitered by a spy cam, the ability to share games without restriction, buy used, rent, and retain full ownership of games I've purchased.

As for the games, Final Fantasy XV looks brilliant and I'm very excited for KH3. Looking forward to what Sony's first party studios can produce (beyond what was shown). I will certainly purchase in time for FFXV.

You just said "it costs less for Xbox Live now" which is why I asked. It hasn't been confirmed that free to play games require PS Plus either. I have a computer for Skype, I mean they haven't matched Sony's gaming social features. You can takeover for a friend if they are having trouble in game over the Internet, a feature that Xbox One doesn't have. I also have a computer for Skype, but not for taking over for a friend in his game.

I'm still not sold on either new console. Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 were games I bought my PS3 for! Now I'm told I have to buy the next thing instead and still no mention of The Last Guardian. By the time the best games come out, the PS4 will have had a price drop. I'm not saying it'll be a failure or anything at this point, it's just that I can't see the best games coming out for a looong time. If they announce Jak 4, Legend of Dragoon 2, or package in a Move, sold. I don't see that happening anymore though...

My wife was sold when she saw the Kingdom Hearts logo though...

I will admit this system looks very interesting not sold on it yet completely, but Kingdom Hearts lll looks mighty nice...

Neoproteus

I wouldn't count on that as there are 140 games in development 40 of them games are PS4 exclusive's, except to see a lot more games coming in Q1 2014.

Region free? This is spectacular.
