Console Wars...

Will a console ever beat the PC?




Sony have revealed (or not) the upcoming Playstation® 4. At a show in New York, Sony showed it's potential raw power. They gave us a look at the new and 'improved' Dual Shock® 4 Controller, with a Vita™ styled touch pad. An they also gave us a glimpse into the newly styled workings of the Playstation® Network. With such features as being able to watch your friends play a game you don't yet have, as well as letting your friends remotely control your game, say for example, you should get stuck. Another nice feature is the ability to share a video as you play. Simply hit the share button on the controller and pick a section to instantly upload to your social network.

Microsoft are yet to show their hand in the war of the console, and with Sony going a whole month ahead of them, it was said to be a strike to get 'ahead' of the competition.

All that said, is the console really going to win? With the PC now more powerful than ever, and upgrades available widely, can the giant corporations keep up? The mighty PC can be upgraded within months of a new console hitting the shelf, and the capability graphically is astounding. I would say Cloud gaming is the way forward and this maybe the very last physical console we will see from these companies. What do you think?
