I've been in the process of deciding which FPS to get launch day for the PS4. The obvious choice at first would seem to be Killzone, but I'm not sold on it yet. Ghosts seems like it will be more fun with more diverse locations. I could get both, but I want to avoid getting a bunch of similar...

With a flat 16:9 display light from the is moving in straight lines. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| With a curved screen more light is going to hit your eyes. Hence you see more. \\\\\\\|||||||||||||||||||///////

A typical family sits together near the middle of the screen. For years Plasma had the best off-angle viewing...people could care less. If you have a decent surround speaker set for audio people want to be in the middle for the speakers to have their optimum effect. A standard real IMAX...

You should be able to with a Steam Machine. That big Sony game is is 21:9 and the Evil Within as well.

HDMI 2.0 supports 21:9 Aspect Ratio Display manufactures have already begun making curved 16:9 OLED TVs. The next logical step is 21:9 curved. This is a big win for console gamers. A surround display that will allow for a wide FOV (field of view) in first person shooters. Also a huge win...

GDDR6 in 2014.

Stay away from x86 and ARM and go with one of the most sucessful game console CPU arch. of all time. MIPS CPU (used in Playstation 1 & 2 and Nintendo 64) PowerVR GPU (used in Dreamcast and Apple iPhone)

Sony is in good position to match Oculus Rift. Although frame rate will be a challenge. Carmack has already been talking about 120hz (240 stereoscopic frames). What Sony should do is create a more powerful GPU version of the PS4 to allow for increased frame rates for stereoscopic gaming...

Amazing how Don Matrick ruined Xbox Next-Gen. Yield issues and software problems...just wow.

As far as I'm aware on the PS3 version of Netflix it is possible to watch hi-qualty content on a slow connection. The PS3 Netflix app uses the hard drive as cache if needed. Some users will opt to stream at their bandwidth and accept the quality level.

So Netflix PS3 doesn't require gigabytes of hard disk storage space?

If a person wants to watch a movie stream at 1080p full quality from Net Flix that requires a monster amount of bandwidth. The highest quality tier (any quality tier actually) can be cached onto the console I think...just leave the console on with Net Flix open and data will cache. If this is...

That is distorted way of looking at it. A single game versus a massive library of movies & TV shows. If Gamestop and used game sales are what many console owners are engaged in, that would inflate the relevance of net flix. Joe Six-pack buys a game then 2 weeks latter trades it in and...

Blu-Ray sales increased nearly 30% in the 1st quarter of 2013.

Digital Only sounds too bold to me. In 5 years people are still going go out to supermarket to buy food and to salons for haircuts. Digital downloads will have increasing role but physical still will have a major presence.
