Xbox 720 vs PlayStation 4: Whats in Store?

Microsoft's Xbox 720 and Sony's PlayStation 4 are the two gaming consoles that have been heavily discussed on the Internet over the last few months.

Though both the companies had denied any such developments, gamers expected announcements of the devices at the CES 2012. However, no such announcements were made and now it is expected that official announcements will be made at the E3 2012.

Both PlayStation 4 and the Xbox 720 have to be launched at the same time if they want to stand any chance to outclass each other in the console market. The prices are expected to be high for a console that will deliver next-gen graphics and gameplay. However, both the companies have to play this card wisely as the price factor will have a major determining point in the popularity of the console. The same goes for the game and points achievements and the Live arena options.

Let's have quick look at what could be expected:

Processing Power: Though it is widely believed that the current PlayStation 3 has the edge over the Xbox 360 technically with processing power, graphical prowess and high-definition media via Blu-Ray drive, the next generation Xbox is expected to sport a more powerful processor with extreme graphics capability. According to a New Xbox 720 report, the new Xbox will feature an advanced Central Processing Unit with ground-breaking graphics. The current generation console sports a triple-cored 3.2 GHz processor, coupled with an exciting Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).

However, these specs have been countered by a report from PS4Playstation4.com report, saying Sony will add more SPEs (Synergistic Processing Elements) to the current amount of 8 SPEs which run at 3.2 GHz. Out of this, one is disabled for yield purposes and one for security purposes such as encryption and decryption of the hard drive in real time.

The cell in the PS3 has an overall performance of 204 GFLOPs (floating-point operation per second). It is believed that Sony will increase the current amount of 8 SPEs to 16 SPEs to provide optimal power to heat ratio, provided it is manufactured at 32nm. This will make it capable of consuming the same amount of energy as the 90nm Cell processor found in the 60/20GB PS3s.

It is expected that Microsoft may not choose to stick with IBM to deliver the device's processing power in the future for their new console and a new Fusion chip from AMD might replace it. To meet the fan expectations, Microsoft will surely have to bring in more horsepower to last for at least 10 years. This can be done with an enhanced CPU that will compliment the GPU to produce amazing visuals. Although no game has been declared for the new Xbox, it is believed that titles like "Halo 5" and "Gears of War 4" could become one of the first few games to arrive for the console.

Disc Format: Many believe that Sony will let to go its usual Blu-Ray and replace it with HVDs (Holographic Versatile Disc) though the HVD drives are too expensive and too big.

The new drives are expected to use a full 100GB disc with an advanced Blu-Ray drive for faster reading. The current PS3 has a 2x Blu-ray Disc, where 4x is the minimum to read a 100Gb disc. However, the average read speed nowadays is 8x and it is also relatively cheap. Hence it can be expected that the PS4 will have at least an 8x drive which reads at 36MB/s, and games will load much faster.

The 720, on the other hand, has an unusual rumor making rounds saying that the new console will use Cloud for storage which have been redirected from the fact that Steam has done so well on PC over the years. Now it is being thought if the 720 games will actually feature on a disc at all, or will be simply downloaded from Cloud whenever they will be required. Microsoft could also have opted for the traditional Blu-ray system hadn't it been already owned by rivals, Sony. Other sources have claimed that the future 720 games could also come as Flash drives.

Controller: With rumors making rounds, stories about the console controllers have also gained momentum over the months. Although nothing really is known about the PS4 controller or is too absurd to write about it, the 720 controllers have seen interesting rumors and stories making headlines. It is expected that the 720 controllers will be controlled purely by Kinect style motion sensors. This may sound absurd at the moment but could make a surprise entry with the 720. However, hopefully the traditional style controllers for both Sony and Microsoft will be around for a while.

USB connections: Like the controllers for Sony above, nothing really is known about the Xbox 720 USB connections while a little has been known about the PS4 USB connections. At least 2 to 4 USB 3.0 connections are expected that will back up 100GBs of install data, save data and applications that will take only half the normal time of transfer which can currently take up to 8 hours.

(These are all speculations based on what the consoles currently have and the latest technology that is available at the moment. Any further developments will be posted.)

Then, the producer should say that, time and time again, they claim to want to make a fun simulation game. I have no problem if they come out n say, we want the game to be in the middle of sim and arcade, but dont lie to the customer. I bought Maddent his year, played it for like 2 weeks, then told my nephew Merry early Xmas. lol .

I dont have any idea what the dev's have said about the game the last past year, i got banned from Operation Sports and have since made the switch from Sports to Fighting games. get the same one on one feeling, but at 35, i dont have the reactions i used too I kinda get how aging boxers feel, you see something coming, but you just can counter sometimes.

How the hell did you get banned from OS? They're usually pretty lenient. Oh well, don't air your dirty laundry here.

Have you played Fight Night Rocky 15...err, Champion?

Remember when NBA Live 10 came out or whatever the hell their NBA game was, well they were originally going to release NBA Jam with that game and in a thread, i said, just wait til they put NBA Jam out separately, if you dont want to buy their "sim" nba game. I said EA will put it as a stand alone game sooner or later, thats how EA does things. Apparently that was against the rules. So i got banned for that, perma ban. I was like wow, thats pretty lame. I also got banned before, but i contacted the owner of the site and showed him proof that the Mods were out to get me and he unbanned me, but i just said **** them and their site. lol Let me dig up the screenshots of the lame shit they tried to pin on me. haha

I havent played one of their boxing games in a long time is it good?

This got me a warning and temp lol how lame is this shit...



So, then i said, why dont you give the EA dev a warning as well he said the same thing i did.



I show him proof and nothing. lol

So i went to the owner of the site and they unbanned me.

I was actually considering going ahead and purchasing a Vita until I saw the memory unit prices. Thats 40% of the price of the vita for something that does absolutely nothing.

I wouldnt consider buying a 32gb. 8 or 16 should be plenty, and the prices will drop quickly.

th Sony memory sticks took forever to drop in price. $30 for an 8 is overpriced too but easier to deal with.

ticks me off how Sony always gets away with this crap on their proprietary memory. Why they can't just go with the standard is beyond me.

sticks are expensive, but the price point of the vita is pretty damned good.

Yep. Even though I would love it to be 199, 249 isn't a bad price considering it is more powerful than the PS3.

Because people will pay for it. Why do people pay $500 for an IPad? Because they will.

If people are not willing to pay for it, the price will drop. Thats how it works.

You do realize the Vita will not play any games without a proprietary memory card? It doesn't even come with a small memory card.

Yes I do. If you don't like the product, have issues with it or think its overpriced, don't buy it and complain. Simple as that. I won't be buying it, so you know my feeling about it.
