[Comogam] PS4 To Be 50% More Powerful Than XBOX 720 - Page 15

According to the sources, the PS4, also supposedly codenamed Orbis, will have a run-capability of 1.84 teraflops, while the Durango, also referred to unofficially as the Xbox 720, will be capable of 1.23 teraflops. If true, this means that the PS4 will have a 50% “raw, computational power advantage” over Microsoft’s next console.

No matter how you look at it, Nintendo dominated MS and Sony in the ways that matter.

Throw handhelds into the mix and that number skyrockets to a staggering 65+ games. On top of that, I don't even own all of the consoles games I'd like from this generation. Try half, at best.

On PC, I've bought maybe 20 current generation games, and most of them aren't exclusives. PC exclusives just don't do it for me, but I usually opt to get multiplatform games on PC, especially shooters.

As far as I'm concerned, there are tons of amazing games no matter where you go, and anyone skipping either PC or consoles are really missing out.

And that is not counting the online sales, which probably make up a vary large part of the cash flow. These days especially, online sales are higher then ever and xbox live has a vary big lead over the competitors in this factor. The money made from retail isn't all that great, to much overhead and not enough revenue. Online on the other hand has way more revenue involved, and sadly the online sales from the wii is a joke.

Nintendo did what they had to to get out of a rut, but the wii was never really marketed as a cash cow. Console profits were only marginal as they sold the console for pretty cheap, and to expect a lot back from a console sale is crazy. Software sales where mostly only good for the games they made, pretty much all the crap games that found its way onto the ps2 moved over to the wii and pretty much gave 3rd party titles that lacking mentality. Nothing against Nintendo but MS turned the 360 into a better money making machine. Why? Better 3rd party sales and way better online sales, the 360's online market will continue to grow and make it steady cash flow, wii does not have a steady cash flow it had a cash bobble for a short time but that has long been popped. 360 Dominance in the Major gaming markets have pretty much proven this anyways.

Cheap hardware priced at a premium, locked down to regions\no mods or customization of games (would have made more money if all games were available in all regions and full modding tools), over priced hdd's (360) and letting the game industry stagnate for 10 years i.e. crappy console ports for pc (looking at you Crysis 2 and GTA 4)

These consoles NEED to take a risk and really push for the BIG performance\graphics\gameplay boost that EVERYONE is looking towards.

Meanwhile I'll keep playing my PC.

I somehow doubt this is true though, simply because Sony isn't doing so well financially, if they put such beefy hardware in the PS4 they'll either have to take a loss on each unit sold, or price it at $600 again.

It's a new console 450-600 bucks should be standard for higher spec high HDD capacity consoles.
