Hardware wise the XboxOne and PS4 are almost identical. I doubt there will be many games that are on one and not the other unless its a licensing thing. MS owns it, Sony owns it, etc.

For this reason, I don't think it'll need to be connected to the internet in the end. Regardless of whether its confirmed or not. They'll most likely reverse that if not before than after launch when more people find out about it.
Actually no they aren't. PS4 has a serious upper hand.

GDDR5 RAM vs. DDR3 AND the Xbox OS has 3GB dedicated to the OS.

PS4 has a faster CPU and GPU also.

In the grand scheme of what you will notice or won't, they are virtually identical. That extra horsepower will probably never get used and the PS4 will once again likely cost $100 more for no reason.

Negatory. PS4 isn't bundling a HAL9000 Kinect, and the RAM is being used in a more effective manner to handle OS/Update tasks than the Xbone is. Add in more GPU/CPU power and yes, it will be noticeably faster.

Well anyone who buys a console at release is already stupid, what's a 100$ more?

Actually, the PS3 has a blu-ray player in it. When the PS4 released, singe-unit BR players were $2-300 ALONE.

Not that I think the $600 price tag was a good thing. But there ya have it. Compared to the 360s EXTERNAL HD-DVD drive (lmao) that cost $1-200 (and, of course, HDDVD is a dead tech as well)

HD-DVD was still a superior/less expensive format, it's not Samsung's (or was it Toshiba, I don't even remember it's been so long) fault that Sony bought out the porn industry.

Well for me, the big thing about the PS4 would be fact I have a 6-core AMD cpu.

Gonna be fuckin AMAZING when games actually start using all my CPU cores. PC is 2 years old now, and I don't see myself having to upgrade for another 5 YEARS probably (based on graphics shown in the ps4/xb1 previews)

The GDDR5 in the PS4 is fuckin awesome as well -- that's the type of RAM currently used on the highest-end graphics card.
