Not as much tech investment in the PS4.

Fortunately, there isn't a next-gen video format to put into it like there was with the blu ray, so I dont see what the problem is. Seems like this go-round they just need to speed up the CPU and video processor, and maybe double the cheap RAM.

I'm guessing $400 at release.

Just an early guess.

“Yes, its $399. Yes, PS4 supports used games. And no, you do not have to be online to play your games.”

Sony has been declared the winner of E3 by several outlets.

If Microsoft stays the course, and doesn't immediately shift, I'd say the console war is already over.

At this point, I'd buy a Sony. I've never owned a Sony before, and own a 360, but without backward compatibility, it doesn't matter much who the next console is.
It's not me, it's someone else.

I've never bought a console until the next gen came out to replace it and you could get the old one in a pawn shop.

Even so, I'm thinking about getting a PS4.

They take one apart. Mildly interesting.

Sony loses contest data.
Sony in Japan has accidentally erased the list of all 123 winners of its PlayStation 4 Anniversary Edition contest, meaning it will need to restart the competition.
...
The company also assures that, while it had lost the crucial data, user details have apparently not been compromised. It did not explain how it lost the information.
