Xbox One

It's not looking good for Sony.. They'll eventually just stick to selling life insurance. I by all means think ps4 > xbox one though.
 
multiple organizations have. anyone who bought a ps3 at the release may remember an app called "folding home" which was an effort to make the worlds largest and most powerful networked supercomputer, which was able to perform at a computational peak in the petaflops (most supercomputers operate in teraflops)

additionally, the initial cost of building a ps3 networked supercomputer was more expensive, being around $9k or so, but paid off as each computation that was intended to be made on said supercomputer cost around $6k in computing time at other supercomputing facilities.

the ps3 is and was more than just a gaming system, it was the commercialization of some pretty groundbreaking technology.
 
with the new evidence that the kinect will always be on unless you turn it off, and that it will pretty much track you and things about you and use that info as microsoft wants. with all the "TV watching" people are going to be doing on it, microsoft is going to get a lot of marketing info for other companies.

Not that i was going to buy one anyways. But they might need to take a different approach to the always on persona.
