Its more a case of its wasting power on things it doesnt need. Which in turn bumbs the price up.
Im not saying the PS4 is a better choice but playstation who have already allowed the free to play market hit their current gen console (PS3) while xbox refuses to allow so (they wouldnt allow the vast amount of patches that comes along with F2P MMO games) As well as the fact they are forcing the user to use the kinect (A gimic feature that many do not like or want to use) Again if they were to ship it with out the unit and feature it would bring the retail price down maiing it a better opition.
Although In all fairness specs can change, from now to launch as you will find it is never set it stone.

Compared to a PC its understandable but I don't see how people jump to judge the ps4 to be the better option, when we dont even know huge amounts about it yet. Granted it has got better ram though.

Well for first... PS4 actually has games

Im either way about it. It really depends on the reviews and what the launch titles are (aside from Ghoss- which I probs. Wont buy)

However, the PS4 looks rubbish. It does seem like Sony are trying to become Nintendo. Think about it- PlayStation Move is essentiallh a wii remote with a bollock strapped to it. Now the PS4's controller is just like a smaller WiiU.

So Sony offer more of a choice, and new innovations.

Xbox offer TV as their only new invention and you think they're better?

Move is not optional, Neither is Kinect although Xbox seems to promote it more in their games. PS is still the major gaming platform that doesn't require the additional hardware.

Is connect or move actually any good? I'm yet to use either, I've had a go with the wii- is move much like that? Though more serious I'd guess?

What about connect? The closest I can think.of was that camera that used to be on the ps2 (I think, I never actually had one) I think it was called eye toy or something, I remember a friend having one. Are they comparable?

The Eye Toy was awful, but amazing. I used to spend hours washing windows... Then I got bored and spent the next few hours aimlessly driving around on GTA:SA.

Move is still pretty poor, but it can be fun. There is potential for it though as it is quite accurate in detecting movement. It just requires more time for developers to create games that can use the most of it.

Resi5 was pretty fun though.

The downfall for the kinect is that You need a a reasonable large clear space to use it for gaming (I had to rearrange my front room layout just to get enough room to play kinect games) which meant that when I was playing competitive games Because I saw sat so god damn close the kinect wouldnt work on any of my movements. and as for the voice control. well the downside is that you will shout your command 10 times before saying fuck it and use the control pad any way.
