10. The PlayStation 4 was shown last night and will cost 400euro, 100 less than the X-Box One and will not require a daily online sync and you can trade or sell used games…released before Christmas!!
Pay for online though. Console time is over. Pc far superior in everyway

Battlefield 4 was shown last night too, it will have 64 players and run at 60FPS on PC, PS4 and XB1 at 1080p
