Though the architectures of the next-gen Xbox and PlayStation both resemble that of PCs, several development sources have told us that Sonys solution is preferable when it comes to leveraging power. Studios working with the next-gen Xbox are currently being forced to work with only approved development libraries, while Sony is encouraging coders to get closer to the metal of its box. Furthermore, the operating system overhead of Microsofts next console is more oppressive than Sonys equivalent, giving the PlayStation-badged unit another advantage.

PC Gaming & Nintendo will rule all.Sony, don't you do it. Don't you fucking do it!!!
It is believed that games purchased on disc will ship with activation codes, and will have no value beyond the initial user.
lolsPC Gaming & Nintendo will rule all.
What if both the consoles do the same thing? PC Gaming would EXPLODE this fall.

But pc games?I'm pretty sure blocking a second hand market is illegal in the European Union.. even digitally distributed software is protected by this according to a recent ruling http://curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...en&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=5235143
If MS doesnt block this, Im out. Consumers deserve the freedom to resell their products.
Mmmm:New kinect and no second-hand games? Get hype!!!
Praise our Sony overlords.
Kinect for everybody.Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft is continuing to invest heavily in motion-control interfaces, and a new, more reliably responsive Kinect will also ship alongside the next Xbox. Sony’s next-generation console camera system is said to have a similar set of features, and is expected to be discussed at the company’s PlayStation event on February 20.
Why do people think this is so crazy and outrageous when everyone buys PC games with these restrictions everyday?
