Well, it's finally time to have this discussion. What should you buy, the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One. It helps that we've finally got some facts to work with in the new console war, instead of just chasing rumours and misinformation. So here's the definitive look at how the two new consoles stack up against each other, and more importantly, what those comparisons actually mean. Read More >>

Is it possible to be striking and understated at the same time? The PS4 might be just that. Though the early jokes had pointed it as just being an italicised Xbox One, the sharp angles of the rhombus add a lot more character in real life than they do in pictures. Also: the hollowed-out middle divide make the console seem smaller than it actually is. Like the opposite of having love handles. Read More >>

Anything Microsoft can do, Sony can attempt to do better. This time it's the war of E3 teaser trailers, and after having seen what the Xbox One has in store, its time to take a look at what Sony's got for us. Frankly, it's difficult to really tell. Read More >>
While the nitty gritty details about Xbox One are all out in the open the PS4 is still largely a mystery despite technically bursting on to the scene months ago. Here are just a handful of the unanswered questions surrounding Sony's next-generation console—and how we hope and think they'll be answered. Read More >>

It seems the PS4 will make it to our shores before 2013 closes its doors, probably by November. Either that or Sony's going to have full-page-ad-shaped egg on its face. As if you were in any doubt. Read More >>

After seeing that annoyingly blurry teaser from Sony the other day, one Redditor decided to try and conceptualise what the full thing will look like from the brief flashes in the video. This is the result, and it doesn't look far off what you'd expect from a PS3 follow-on. Read More >>
We didn't get to see the PS4 at Sony's big reveal event a few months ago, but with the NextBox announcement right around the corner (read: tomorrow), Sony's showing off a sneak peek to get us all riled. It's hard to make out much of anything other than the vague shape of the thing, but it's better than nothing. Can you make out anything cool? Read More >>
Sony talked up a storm about how the PS4 was engineered with developers in mind, and that's exactly what the Ubisoft boys behind Assassin's Creed say too. Of course, they're being paid to say that, probably, but watch and see how immense Assassin's Creed IV's going to look on the next generation console. Read More >>

Our brothers from another mother over at T3 have had a stab at what they think the PS4 is going to look like, based on Sony's current design ethos. The question is, would you buy it if it looked like this? Read More >>

While there's still little known about Sony's efforts to pioneer the first 4K movie download service, one thing we can say almost definitely now is that the service will in fact be compatible with its (supposedly) upcoming PS4. In an interview with The Verge, Sony President and COO Phil Molyneux almost sort of definitely confirmed that the service would be compatible with the ethereal console by promising that we "will not be disappointed." Oh, and by the way, a typical 4K movie download will chew up more than 100 GB of bandwidth. Read More >>

Though we're still waiting to see what the PS4 is going to look like, we definitely have a handle on the guts and how the next-gen system will work. And that includes downloading PS4 games digitally. According to Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida, every single PS4 game will be available to download online. Read More >>

We don't know squat about what the PS4 will look like since it didn't make an appearance at Sony's two-hour long press event last night, but we've learned a lot about what it'll be like when it finally shows up. And now, we know it's going to have AMD innards. Read More >>

Unless you were, you know, sleeping, last night, you probably saw that Sony busted out the PS4 last night. Well, I say busted out, we didn't actually see the box, but we saw everything else! Anyway, if you missed it, or even if you didn't, Sony's got a jaw-dropping trailer for you. Yes, trailers for consoles are apparently a thing. Read More >>

After showing us tons of awesome looking games, Sony have straight up denied us the console. We have specs, we've seen the controller, but we haven't seen the box yet. No price, no release date. We don't even know when Sony will tell us more. Sony stoked our excitement, and there's no way to be satisfied. What a bummer. Read More >>
