Based on the conferences today, the PS4 took a massive dump on Microsoft. The Sony conference started blandly with a few titles launching for the PS3 that was personally scared for what may come. After this, everything took the cake as they announced several features that I will outline in a graph below. During the Sony conference, there were 3 moments that literally had the audience on their feet chanting "Sony, Sony, Sony!" or "OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH!" and clapping, even laughin hysterically. These three moments were when it was announced that Sony would not have Required Online Restriction to the games you play on their console, Used Games not being Restricted, and the moment at the end where Sony announced the $100 cheaper price than their Microsoft counterpart, the Xbox One. There will be more information I will post in the graph soon, bear with me! :)
Edit: Sony has confirmed that the base model of the Playstation 4 will ship with a 500GB hard drive, with the possibility of other models for the release. This keeps them one step ahead of Microsoft.
