Luckily I'm not attached to any company so if I don't like the xb then I'll do away with it.

Yeah I'm anticipating the date for the same reason. I plan on at least taking a week off to celebrate.

Oh yeah, for those who haven't pre-ordered yet, Amazon put up more of the BF4/KZ/Knack ubundles.

PlanetSide 2 On PS4 Is 'Basically PC Version On Max Settings'

Creative director on PlanetSide 2 believe the team will get the visuals of the PC version onto PS4.
Published on Jul 24, 2013

PlanetSide 2 is easily one of the best looking games on PC - even in spite of the incredibly tasking CPU/GPU strain - which makes us all the more excited for PlanetSide 2 on PS4.

But will Sony Online Entertainment be able to replicate those visuals on the limits of a console, albeit a fairly powerful one?

"Our plan right now is to basically take the PC game with maximum settings and have that be running on the PS4," confirmed Matt Higby, creative director on the game.

"So there won’t be any limitations in terms of number of players, there won’t be any limitations on the maps – so you aren’t going to get any dumbed down maps or anything like that."

The only change to the core gameplay of PlanetSide 2, says Higby, is its interface - which is the only mouse-heavy part of the game.

"The biggest difference that you’ll see is going to be interface elements," he said, "they’ll be customised to work better with a console controller and other tweaks that make things work on a console game."

"But there won’t be any core gameplay mechanic changes that make PlanetSide what it is. You’ll still have thousands of players per continents, all the vehicles and really deep character progression – all that stuff is going to remain intact."

SOE is targeting the PS4's launch window and is a free-to-play, large-scale MMOFPS, which means no one has an excuse to not play it whenever it does get released.

"Our survey suggests that consumers believe the PS4 will win the early phase of the next generation console war," says Jia Wu, Director, Connected Home Devices (CHD). "Sony's performance at E3 was widely accepted as superior to Microsoft's, and the survey evidence suggests this has already fed through to the wider consumer market."

The report notes that the PS4 leads in both the US and Europe, in spite of the fact that Xbox 360 currently has a lead over the PS3 in the US. In the key 20-35 age group nearly 30 percent of respondents are very or somewhat likely to buy a PS4 compared to under 20 percent for Xbox One.

Methodology: Strategy Analytics conducted an online survey, the ConsumerMetrix Survey fielded in June 2013. The sample consisted of n=2062 individuals in the US and n=4118 in Europe ages 15-74. Strategy Analytics weighted the data by country, age, gender and internet use to represent the US and European populations of internet users, respectively.​

Doesn't history show that buying systems at launch is bad business ?
