PS4 ("Orbis")/Xbox3("Durango") Rumors

[A Black Falcon]

So yeah, as anyone who reads gaming news at all knows, rumors for both systems are all over the place now. Sony's supposed to have an event later this month that hopefully will announce the PS4, which is supposedly pretty powerful, and has a controller similar to all of Sony's others, but with a few design changes and maybe a touch thing, like that stuff on the back of the Vita. Supposedly it'll play used games too.

The Xbox 3, or 720, or whatever you want to call it, though... the rumors now say that it might have a required always-on internet connection, will either restrict or completely block used games, and probably won't be as powerful as PS4, either. Um... why does Microsoft think that this is actually a good idea, again? They came so far with the 360 in vastly increasing their userbase and marketshare, but if these rumors are true it could backfire badly... or not, but I don't know, I do think that always-on and no-used-games would hurt them. Or at least, I'd hope it would!

(Both, of course, will be much more powerful than the WiiU.)

Of course, the rumors could be wrong. For instance, Sony could implement some kind of anti-used-games system similar to Microsoft's... wouldn't THAT be fun.
