Sony: "We'll let Microsoft announce their console first"

4.5
Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai says Sony will allow Microsoft to announce their Next-Gen console first. As we all know, the next generation of consoles will more than likely be released this year. But despite speculation regarding their existence, they still have yet to be officially announced. In a recent interview with The Times, Hirai said Sony will wait for Microsoft to announce their plans first, before unveiling the next PlayStation console. "Why go first, when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better?" Hirai's statement would tie in with previous history, as the 360 was announced before Sony revealed its PS3 back in 2005. Sony has also been adamant that they want to release their next-gen console before Microsoft this time around.

Breezy4G I don't think I'm getting the next generation until a while.
They are going to be just like the current consoles but look different.


They are different inside and out, look at the upgraded specs.

POLYSICS "Let's change any discrepancies and see what we can copy from the Microsoft console!" is what I'm reading. So damn immature. Obviously they're not confident with their release if they're wanting to see their opponent's product first so that they can make some last minute, plagiarized adjustments.


This.


You mean copy from Nintendo,it's ok you can say it.

GR33NV3N0M Lets get it straight. consoles dont make anything more fun... if anything most pc games are MORE fun seing as you have the use of mods.

Sony will let microsoft go first because they will be tripping their bollocks off about what microsoft has come up with THEN will wait and see if they can steal anything and stick it into the ps4 thats just how Japs roll, they take an already selling invention and add something to it. thats why something like only 4% of Great inventions are from Japan then just expand on them not innovate them. Anyway that aside i think google already released a statement that showed that something like 65% of people were looking for the new Xbox and only like 30% were looking for PS4 and the remaining 5% was something like wii U etc.

The Xbox will always dominate in terms of sales generally because it focuses more on being a gaming console not being a multimedia system like the ps3 tried im not trying to start a fanboy war im just saying thats how it is. I own both ps3 and 360 both have decent exclusives like Infamous for ps3 and Halo for Xbox. Do i have a preference ? sure i prefer xbox just because i think the controller is better designed and that i believe Xbox live is around 1000000% better than PSN but maybe thats just me.

Some PC games are better it just depends, not everyone can offord a $1000 pc. And, why mod games, they aren't ment to be modded. It does take the fun out of some games.

That's way off, they will be all new on the inside. This isn't some minor Upgrade from a pro to a slim. This is like the Original Xbox going to the Xbox 360. Its a big jump.
