exactly......ninjas will complain, but get a system anyway........and AGAIN, lets address this backward compatibility shit ninjas is whining about. HOOK UP YOUR PLAYSTATION 4 RIGHT BESIDE YOUR PLAYSTATION 3................
HOOK UP YOUR PLAYSTATION 4 RIGHT BESIDE YOUR PLAYSTATION 3................
I said this in other threads...i really dont get that BC shit at all
hell i dont even play the old games anymore when the next gen comes out...but like you said keep it hooked up or put it on another tv in the house mines, is going in my sons room...he has my PS2 and Xbox in there
That processor incompatibility myth has to be the biggest lie in recent gaming industry history.. It's just another excuse to resell you your "emulated" games later on..
You motherfuckas still can't get the clock on the microwave to stop flashing "12:00", but you know how THIS shit works, huh?
You really that thick-headed? If it was as simple as you think, every game developer could make one disc that would work on EVERY system and save themselves a shitload of money.
That processor incompatibility you think is just some made up excuse is one of the developers biggest complaints about the old system. They don't want to write code for that PS3 shit anymore. It's a pain in the ass. One of the main reasons Xbox has been able to compete with PS3 is because its so much faster and easier to write code for.
With Sony switching to an x86 processor, it would actually be easier to get an Xbox game to play on PS4 than it would to be to run a PS3 game.
Some of you motherfuckas seem to have confused technology with magic.
No, we just make it LOOK easy.
That being said, if you can't afford to buy a PS4 without trading in your PS3, maybe you should rethink your priorities.
Your money would obviously be better spent on a book or better yet, a college course in programming.
LOOK...
..they explained it to his dumb ass 5 FUCKING TIMES!!!

The 2600 and the 7800 essentially use the same chip. When you plug in a 2600 cartridge it just limits the amount of memory accessible and slows down the processor to the old systems speed. It's similar to what older PS3 systems did which was incorporate the older systems chip in the system to handle the older games.

GAME OVER!!!
What does it not being a home or car have to do with wanting to atleast see and know what im supporting before blindly expressing a willingness to purchase? I guess such knee jerk fanboyism is commonplace for kids and teen game junkies but assuming that most of those posting in this thread are working adults i find the sentiment laughable. I dont think having standards and a level of expectation is a bad thing.Its not that serious its just a video game system..not a house or car....and if Sony has been putting out consoles for almost 20 years and you've loved each one why would you not be eager to buy the next
You cant be this naive.
So now it's the fact I can't afford it?... FOH nigga..
You sound just like the niggas that were spewing the same nonsense when PS3 dropped.. If you're not eating the bullshit that Sony's force feeding you, you're hating cause you can't afford it.
Point is.. If they can't make BC work right now (cheaply) they should push PS4 the fuck back.. No one is trying to have 6 consoles in their entertainment center, and nobody feels like going to get the PS3 out of the closet everytime they want to play one of the 100's of PS3 games they've collected over it's 6 year life cycle...
If Sony keeps saying PS3 game emulation is possible with Gaikai, they need to get that functionality implemented before launch day!
And I might not know programming language, but I know the language of Economics..
At what point does Demand meet a Useless Hunk of Plastic with a shiny new processor on the Elastic Demand Chart?..

Dude you do realize there's going to be tons of shit to come out on the console before its release right
E3 and every show after it......I loved PS PS2 PS3 Sony has a great track record with me sooooooo why wouldn't I be "expressing a willingness to purchase" I'll be buying day 1 and if I dont like it ill take it back or sale it 2x on ebay........................whats the problem
Its not that serious its just a video game system..not a house or car....and if Sony has been putting out consoles for almost 20 years and you've loved each one why would you not be eager to buy the next
Word. I'm not understand why niggas are gettin' so upset at what others wanna purchase.
Do you want a gaming console to play games on or to play music on??? B/c if it's da latter then you should just get a CD player instead or a iPod or some shit.
Cool deal. I just have a issue with blind consumerism, and corporate loyalty from consumers. I also think this "unveiling" was a waste of time as it really didnt give any concrete info on the console. Those are my points.
Dude you do realize there's going to be tons of shit to come out on the console before its release right
Who's upset? I actually find it entertaining.Word. I'm not understand why niggas are gettin' so upset at what others wanna purchase.
Faggits

I think he is try say, u hear about Toyota is come out with this new car so u go down to the dealer. They tell u all this great stuff about it. So u want to buy? Ur like yes but let me look at the car .well it is not out till the end of the year but get excited about it! How can u be excited on something u never seen. But I see where u coming from cause Sony had good track record with me so I will be getting one but I would like to know what it looks like so I can get a better understanding on how and were I will place it in my living room.

They just want to be the center of attention. Waiting to E3 means having to share the spotlight with everyone else. Microsoft is slated to make an announcement in April for their plans. If they waited to E3 they may get blog coverage for a day, not a week like Sony is getting with the PS4.

Nigga please.
You obviously know less about economics than you do writing game code.
First of all, elasticity of demand refers to the relationship between demand for a product and a change in pricing.
Price elasticity of demand (PEOD) = (% Change in Quantity Demanded)/(% Change in Price)
That's 10th grade economics and ain't got shit to do with this.
Second, you bought PS3 games for a PS3 console. You want to play PS4 games, buy a fucking PS4. You feel like Sony is screwing you on backwards compatibility, don't buy a PS4. In fact, you should get rid of that PS3 too. That'll teach em a lesson.
Mail that shit back to Sony HQ with a letter explaining how they hurt you and you don't want to be their friend anymore.
And tell them you're not talking to them anymore until they get that backwards compatibility built in cheaply.
You got the game fucked up. You want extra shit but you want it for free. We're not talking about a t-shirt or some fucking stickers. You want millions and millions of dollars in technology and services that don't provide a significant return on investment for Sony and its partners. For free. But you understand economics, huh?
Sony doesn't owe your whiny broke-ass shit. You can try to call no backwards compatibility greed on Sony's part, but the alternative you want is just a bad business decision. Built in b/c loses Sony money, not just profit but investment as well.
The original PS3 was almost a failure due to the cost of b/c.
In fact, you could chart elasticity of demand with what happened with the PS3.
Oh, I forgot... you don't really know how that works.
"...CAUSE WE COULDN'T TEACH HIM SHIT!"
"...MOTHERFUCKA THINKS HE KNOWS ECONOMICS!"
Did this dumb ass go on Wikipedia to fact check a joke..
You're trying WAYYY too hard, fam.. and saying a whole lot of nothing..
Niggas are brainwashed man... Sad shit. Sony fanboys are taking dickriding to new levels..

Yea.. I'm about done.. This motherfucker here is trying to explain to me why a dumbed down gaming PC can't play discs from another dumbed down gaming PC that just got released a few years ago from the same damn company..
Consoles... LOL [/Megazell]
I quit... Rocky. Post them links on how I can build a decent Gaming PC Rig...

I think the reason both Microsoft & Sony are debuting their new consoles before E3 because you can't launch a new console this holiday season by debuting your system in June. Not enough time to create buzz & talk.
By getting information out early (even if it's little) they allow a buzz to surround the next-generation consoles.

Those super maximum graphics are gonna require more than what you get in a $300 gaming pc

y'all niggas trippin! You can argue about any damn topic!
Exactly.
Plus, they're kickin Nintendo while they're down.
And taking the spotlight off Project Shield, Steam and OUYA consoles before they gain any real attention.
Sony's press conference put Microsoft in a fucked up position. Xbox was expected to reveal first, with Sony announcing 2nd. Now MS has to figure out how to make the new Xbox look better on paper than PS4.
That doesn't make much sense to me because PC processors are different too, yet they can EMULATE and run console games. Every old console up to the current gen can have its games run on a PC app that emulates the hardware. You're telling me that the PS3 cell processor is so "powerful" that it can't be emulated by a PC grade processor...in which the PS4 will have. Because to say that would make me concerned as the whether the PS4 is LESS POWERFUL than the PS3.
The BluRay drive doesn't have SHIT to do with it.
PS3= cell processor
PS4= x86 processor
A game on a PS3 disc is coded to ONLY run on a PS3 Cell processor.
A PS3 downloaded game is coded to only work on a PS3 Cell processor.
In order for a game coded for a cell processor to run on an PS4 x86 processor, it has to be recoded. This means all of the data on the disc has to basically be translated into a different computer language. Manually. It's not the same as making it from scratch, but it ain't no weekend project either.
The only reason the first PS3's were backwards compatible was that they had 2 different processors, 1 for PS3 and 1 for PS2.
So why don't they just put both processors in the PS4?
1. It costs too much. Sure the Cell is only about $50 but about half of the PS3 motherboard has to go in there with it, along with a bigger power supply and a big ass fan to cool it.
God forbid you want it to play PS2 games.
2. Remember, Sony sells every new console's 1st gen at a loss and counts on licensing fees to make their money until the manufacturing costs come down.
3. None of the new PS4 features would work when playing PS3 games.
4. Remember how a lot of the first PS2 games were actually cd instead of dvd? Cheap developers would pull the same bullshit again, selling PS3 games as if they were PS4 just because they would run on the machine. It's legal and costs the developer less to license PS3 games that it would for the PS4 game.

Are you playing the games with the original hardware or emulating. So right now you can play a NES cartridge with your PC. Or just pop in an Xbox game in your super powerful PC. How much did you pay for your rig because I want one.
Lotta hatred in this thread for no reason. Makes little sense to me. I think the PS4 will be fine. Not concerned about backwards capability. Just keep your PS3. It's not that big of a deal. Damn. Tripple bitch post for some of you complainin ass niggas.

The problem isn't the "power" of the PS3 cell processor. Decent pc is easily more powerful than PS3 cell. The real difference is the way the chips process calculations and instructions. When you use software emulation, you're making the emulator do the work of the processor. Think of it like a translator, listening in spanish and speaking in russian. It works, but every time it makes a mistake in translating, either you see something weird onscreen or worse the game crashes. The PS3 emulators are still full of bugs and the ones that emulate the old consoles still aren't perfect. Most of them have long lists of games that simply will not work on the emulator.
But I will say this: The PS4 specs are pretty much king of the hill right now, but Microsoft MIGHT pull a rabbit out of their ass and top that. Even if Xbox doesn't one up Sony, by the time October comes around, average new pc specs will probably beat out the PS4's specs.
Are you that dumb (no offense) or just don't know about technology? YES! I could, if I had the cartridge drive, run NES games (look below). I currently play PS2 and Wii games from the discs on my PC via the hardware emulator. Does it fucking matter? You want to play the PS3 games on a PS4, right? So does it really matter to you if it's emulated or running right off the hardware itself? DOES IT? Hell no!
In some cases the emulation can run the games better, even improve the graphics. Did you fools forget about old shit like Bleem?

Now all of you STFU...
Now all of you STFU...
Thanks for trying to educate the already educated. Now tell me something I didn't know already because I'm trying to make sense of your concerns. You do know how much more the console will cost just by having hardware support backwards compatibility, right? So why aren't people in here understanding why Sony won't put it in via hardware. The best you're going to get from them is emulation...if any. Take it or leave it! Or get a PC instead.
This was confirmed days ago, bruh..
