Can you imagine the carnage for retail, online and couriers if they were out on the same day?

According to ArsTechnica Microsoft have just announced that Twitch streaming isn't working so it's been put on hold until next year sometime.

People will still be able to record 5 minute clips on Xbox Live though and there will be a TwitchTV app released which will give people access to streams of PS4 games.

...PC games too obviously.

I've been spoiling my DOUK experience by using Twitch. I'd never seen the service before. Really cool that these new consoles have it integrated.

I've been watching Americans play BF4 and CoD. Some have been really good quality streams too.

Here's a video of how easy it is to broadcast or upload a screenshot on PS4...

Does anyone fancy making a banner for me please? Next Gen Hype style for both XB and PS.

It's embargoed till tomorrow how can it start to review quite well if you mean the smart glass rating thing then hmmm

I'm getting out the rolled up news paper "Boris get down bad Boris"

if you want something different I fail to see how another fighter, shooter, brawler, or racer is gonna cut it, there is nothing different just shinny shinny that's what this launch is about and it seems both sides failed to get that killer must have game out.

Engadget have done a decent video review for each console, worth a watch.

Confirmation web browsing speeds are not so great on both consoles, although PS4 double the speed of X1 (!)

I really hope Sony will implement touchpad typing...

As you mentioned exclusives can be important. Also think about the brand message each company is focusing on and which appeals.

Thinking about it more deeply I think this can be considered by the future e.g. PS4 Gaikai if you like old PS and PS2/3 games. And X-Box One and what they plan for the future of the system if thats possible. Although PS3 and 360 changed dramatically since they first realeased.

I suppose at the end of the day it is down to if you had a 360 you can carry over all yr stuff, friends etc and if you had a PS3 you can do the same.

install comparisons makes interesting reading after hearing about all the winging about install times on the one.

They took the same multiformat games and compared initial install times before you could start the game.

Seven minutes on average on the xbox before you can start playing where as the ps4 average is about one minute.

Good post. I'm sure MS will be working on closing the gap a bit but the PS4 is WAY ahead. Look at these time differences
