Cows seem to want everyone to forget how strong MS's conference was... NO, for the PS4 is was not as strong as it could have been. BUT they showed enough., and PS3 has a huge number of Exclusives that came out and will come out this year. Next year PS4 will have a lot more games to show also.

Conference was strong game wise, but they failed everywhere else. Sony failed pretty much throughout the conference until they got to the Used Game/DRM/Price. And then after the conference, it was announced by Sony, just like it was announced by MS before E3, that it will be up to the publisher/developer when it comes to DRM for their games. Microsoft has the infrastructure in place to change things when ever they want. Sony does not. Publishers on Sony's console could go the Game pass coe rought but yes its up to them. Microsoft DRM is far and away the more powerful in this regard. And then there is sharing games with friends. and the 24hour check in.
Price is $100 less because Sony didn't include their camera, which they tooted as an add in, when it is not and they aren't adding in the fee for PSN. So basically you are still paying that $100+ dollars if you get everything for the PS4. MS just simply added it all in from the get go. No doubt in my mind, Sony will have a $500 SKU out the gates that will include a year of PSN and their camera to go along with the $400 bare bones package. Not needed or necessory!
Either way, price is irrelevant when you are talking about a difference of $100 because you will be paying upwards of around $600 to $700 for either console if you get everything for the system, plus 2 or 3 games so getting either one and all they have to offer will be an expensive day. Could you say or did you say the same thing for the launch of the PS3 vs Xbox 360?!!! If they get jus the PS4 and some games, it will not be that much cheaper. Then if they get PSN+ free games, HUGE numbrer of Indie games....
Really the only thing you can say the PS4 had over the ONE is the daily online check ups, which means absolutely nothing to me. Unless you live in the back woods of West Virginia, this shouldn't affect you considering every one I know and just about ALL of their electronic devices, are connected to the internet in some way, shape or form, not to mention get daily updates for their apps, patches for the consoles, games, driver updates, etc. Fanboys are just throwing it out there as if that is a big deal, when reality, it isn't. Number of people conected to the internet from a PC has fallen... Cell phones conected to the internet increased hugely.
To tell people to "Deal with it" is a bad way to treat coustomers. If you want them to buy your product then its not a way to start. Many people like in the last 3 generations will go with what other people have bought. And if more people feel the PS4 is the place to go because of the MANY reasons given by Microsft to buy a PS4 then it will snowball.
10 ways that people conect to the internet, but will not help them play online.
10.Parents house.
9 Library
8. Free WiFi station (Mc Donalds, Starbucks.... ETC.)
7. stolen from a neighbor
6. Dial up
5. phone
4. Highly shared between MANY devices (therefore- slow)
3. School
2. DSL
1. Crappy High-speed caped service
Even thought people can get on the internet does not mean its any where close to IDEAL!! Just saying. People have many choices and cutting out a $30.00 a month bill that is not necessory is an easy choice.
xbox done will fail Usually, Windows x.0 fails e.g. Windows Vista (aka Windows 6.0), Windows 2000 (aka Windows 5.0).
