i sold my original ps3 a LONG ass time ago. i agree with you for the most part, (and hehe, PC gaming IS far better than console), but the reason why ps3 and PCs don't have such a high recognition similar to the xbox is simply because the xbox is the Call of Duty, of the consoles. What i mean is: yes, the xbox is fun and nice, there IS better stuff out there, and the only reason why it's so popular seems to be as result of everyone, or THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, PLAY IT. there are less PCs and PSN users.. its more of an ignorance issue to why the xbox is so great (like cod!). don't get me wrong: i love my xbox (i have three of them...). i sold my ps3 a couple of years back, and i got into PC gaming for a while (its amazing how much more you can do on a PC. it's like a dream come true for me). i do believe, however, that the ps4 is unnecessary at this point in time. Modern consoles can update/new advancements can be added without another $300-ish purchase of a new console, and both xbox and ps3 seem to be up to date for the most part on what CAN be achieved for consoles, so i believe that at this point, the ps4 will hardly be any different than the ps3, so it seems to be a waste of money to me. almost as if they have given up on their prized console that was praised so much by Valve for Portal 2 not too long ago. P.S. did anyone else LOL when they showed the tv screen in the teaser and it showed MW2?!? -not black ops!! (probably because it has been the most successful game in recent years. i personally am not that big of a fan of it)
