Now that Xbox One has been announced, and naturally, immediate comparisons are already being drawn between it and the PlayStation 4 of Sony. Since we’re still a long way from seeing either of these two titans hit the market, it’s impossible to begin to compare the two up against each other in terms of performance, but taking into consideration the hardware specs of each, we can at least gauge a rough idea of how these two significant machines stand up to one another. Here, we’re going to use what information we already know to compare the hardware and features of each, and although this won’t be indicative of anything beyond mere reference, it does set the ball rolling.

Mark Cerny, lead architect behind the Sony PlayStation 4, is a pillar of the gaming industry, and having designed the cult classic Marble Madness at the age of just 18, it's little wonder Sony has entrusted the creation of its next-gen gaming portal in his hands. When the PS4 was launched a couple of months back, it only seemed like half an announcement, for Sony neglected to reveal many of the key details. However on Wednesday, Cerny sought to shed a little more light on proceedings by arranging conversation with Gamasutra which he himself billed as a "no-holds-barred PlayStation 4 hardware exposé," and although he stopped short of sending out some images of the as-yet unseen console, he did divulge quite a few very interesting tidbits.
It has been almost two months since Sony announced its next-gen PlayStation 4 games console, but despite being two months closer to its forecast Q4 launch, we still don't appear to be any closer to knowing what it will look like, or how much it's going to cost. An interesting interview run by Edge magazine by Sony Worldwide Studios Vice President Michael Denny reveals that Sony may at least have learned from the error of its pricing of the PlayStation 3, and wants to find a price point with the PS4 that appeals not only to hardcore gaming fanatics, but also gamers "in the broadest sense."

The words of analysts are, more often than not, to be taken with a pinch of salt; especially in a technology industry where most supposition is based on little more than educated guesswork. Gamers will be hoping Michael Pachter has gotten his numbers muddled up somewhere, after the game financial analyst, of Wedbush Securities, suggested that games for the PlayStation 4 and unannounced next-gen Xbox console could tip the scales at a hefty $70. Speaking to a panel in Austin, Texas, he also foresees Microsoft coming out on top in the battle of the next-gen consoles, as it has done with the Xbox 360.
