People I know have built PCs that are already superior to the so called next gen consoles which haven't even released yet. So, expect games to continue to look much better on a PC.

In the end, the same old adage is true. People will buy what suits them. But actually putting down a platform without even trying it, based on assumptions or hearsay is wrong IMO.
I have known many console gamers unwilling to move to PC gaming, even though they weren't getting what they wanted from consoles, just because it seemed very overwhelming to them. Ultimately many were forced to move and were pleasantly surprised how easy the transition was. Things have changed dramatically in this space in the last decade. It's like any transition, it takes a little time to get used to it, and then it becomes second nature.
I built a gaming PC in Jan 2009 which is still good to play games at max settings and does video editing and graphic designing without so much as a squeak. So, the notion of constantly having to upgrade is also untrue in this case.

Anybody know the actual date the PS4 is available? Seem to find conflicting dates.

I think both are slated for summer 2013? I'm not too fussed as I'm gonna wait at least 6 months before buying one.

Cheers. The BBC news tonight didn't give a great impression of the X Box this evening. I think the price is the major factor plus the used game situation. Microsoft need this to work for them badly after the disappointment of Windows 8 and the lukewarm reception their other recent products have produced. It'll no doubt be a great console but will it again fail to outsell the Playstation? Everyone I know who is remotely interested in gaming seems to be leaning towards the PS4.

I normally always end up behind the new console releases, but I might try to get a new one soon.
I have had a PS2 and Ps3, but am thinking about an Xbox One, as Xbox has Forza.
Anyone know what the new consoles will offer in terms of game improvements.
I am a bit of a novice about the details of such things.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

3. Simulation racing games are so far exclusive to the PC because it requires a lot of processing power to accurately simulate real car physics in a game. With the new consoles bridging the gap somewhat, expect better and probably more realistic car physics and handling in racing games.

Another plus in PS4 at the moment is the ability to upgrade your HDD in case it gets full. It comes with a standard 500 GB but you can upgrade it to 1, 2 or 3 terabytes if need be. Xbox one meanwhile doesn't seem to support this function.

I used to have the original Play Station. I'd be happy with one again with the following games;
Wipeout/Wipeout 2097
Formula 1 (He's right up tight and pushing hard)
Bust a Move
Ridge Racer (You're the greatest)
Abe's Odyssey/Exodus (follow Me)
I'd have my mate round with the link cable and his PS1 and two telly's.
Aaaahhhh, them were the days....Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.
