In that case I will wait for PS6 then 7....

ps4 is just around the corner.. i will wait for Wii W

Personally I didn’t like the PS3, but I’m sure that the PS4 will impress me a lot.

it is money matter...
got money what the fxxk care this question.
buy all

if you want play console now, then buy la. if you can wait, then wait la. but sure ps4 is much much expensive than ps3 la...

I'd say wait for this 20 Feb, and see what they have to offer..

but I'm guessing that, there would be nothing that could justify anyone or at least myself to be early adopter for PS4.. price wise, or game wise..

let's just wait and see..

PS4 release sooner or later, still need to take some time before those awesome games come in.
So I will say give it a year or two, if you want to play now buy the PS3.

It Better be,

PS4 won't be released at least months from now, feb 20 might be just the announcement about it ... Some people just think that feb 20 is the date of ps4 release....which is WRONG
My bet would be on June this year

Didnt vote, i read PS4 uses heavy DRM on the games.
So, one game one machine, you can't resell the game to anyone. As for source : Google search-tit.

It will still uses disc for the games, mainly focused online distribution. Personally, its fxcked, but it depends what games ps4 have to offer before i can make the choice of buying or not.

TS seems real stupid, wants to start a conversation but deflect other people's opinions. Anyway TS, you either want to play now or you would wait for an early console with only rumours stitching it up here and there. So either buy the current console which will be an old console when the PS4 comes out or wait for the PS4 which we don't know the date to.

In other words, buy ps3 > save money > wait PS4 > buy ps4 .
This works for me, lol.

I already got a beauty Jtag xbox360 with top 75xboxgames and it mesmerize me each time so asking some opinion on getting a ps3 that's all p.s (ps3 also got modded set )

PS4/Orbis is said to be based off PC hardware. Totally moot, everyone knows Power architecture is far superior to X86. Otoh, MS is also said to be dumping Power architecture and moving to X86 as well with XBox720/Durango.

I'll let you imagine what else you can do given that it uses PC hardware (hint:think Hackintosh).

Most of the time its not about "Power", its about availability and flexibility. Power architecture is a (vector) engine,
the codes runs differently when ported to x86 (generic desktops/laptops).
No doubt a Power processor is faster, the market now consists of mostly x86 computers, laptops and
desktops with the recent years of apple gains in the computing market with intel processors and more ARM cortex.
Mobile (tablet,phones, ARM etc etc) processors wont make a dent to current x86 in power hungry applications,
so its being ruled out. But it is making a dent in terms of sales and availability, its everywhere.

Also, comes to the hardware prices, the PS3's ram (XDR) is expensive enough and changing it would be a headache.
Developing on it requires time in terms of hardware and software.
Next gen xbox/ps uses AMD based system, the hardware would be cheaper to manufacture and less prone to
problems like heat and lousy caps and boards (Current PC is cool and fast enough comparing to years ago).
Fusing a rare general purpose CPU with a normal GPU is an ass when it comes it,
the prototype, the time, the resource, the effort ended up making something unique but not cost effective.

What happens when a consumer have bricked hardware that cannot be fixed ?
replaced cheaply with a foxconn made + AMD console hardware, ready for replacement.
Imagine they sell the PS4 at the same price such as the launch of PS3 but with the actual development price being 30% lower than the old PS3.

In a geek point of view, this makes the console more PC like and less unique. But i can care less as long the games are easily ported between platform without issues.
The last thing you want to see is more platform exclusive, you'll need to get xxx amount of console to play those beautiful and fun games. u dun goofed

Currently the barriers to pure multiplatform games is :


Nuff said, even with x86, a PC with a game properly coded for it without limitation will rape any console with xxx cores of vector processor with the game build only within the hardware limitation.
But whats the use when you have those power and can't play those games ?

ANNNNDDD, i can feel the monies and contracts waiting in front of AMD's doorstep.

PS2.

such a calm person, i like that

End of this year.
Next year PS4 will be on heat and PS3 will slowly become obsolete.
So make your choice wisely.
