It's pretty narrow minded to think a cheaper console will always be of lesser quality than a more expensive one, for one thing the timing of the release will have a pretty drastic baring on how much parts cost. Overall manufacturing (as in putting the console together) will be pretty similar accross all three platforms & all three companies have to make these consoles safe for consumers to buy. The general costs of APUs, CPUs, GPUs & RAM will determine just how expensive these machines will work out to be, reliability has more to do with design than the parts used. If PS4/Orbis & Xbox 3/720/Durango are releasing a year after Wii U then both companies could build similar tablet style controllers, with more power for a similar price to the Premium ZombiU release package. If both Sony and Microsoft don't care about the Tablet then they'll have even more money to play with for significant performance gains over Wii U. Make no mistake though, PS4 & 720 probably won't be that different from each other in the performance levels, from what I've read Sony will be building a decent dedicated games machine (with good media functionality), MS will be similar, only with a improved Kinect probably bundled in, so their machine may end up costing more than the PS4 as a result of this, unless Microsoft is happy to make enough of a loss to meet whatever price the PS4 is released for. It seems likely at this point though that MS may release a bit earlier (as in a few months), so overall their console may be slightly weaker in power to the PS4. Sony will not make the mistake of making a console that is harder to develop for, they'll aim for PS4 to be the lead platform for 3rd party devs, costs allow for something on the level of an AMD A10 APU, made to work well with a dedicated GPU to bring the overall performance in line with what developers want, think something in between a HD 7850 & 7870, with at least 4GBs of a fast unified ram and up. Of MS will be aiming for around the same level of performance, simply because that's what makes sense from cost, desired (by developers) performance levels and what's realistically available. RAM is a major issue, stacked DDR4 has greast benefits in both transfer speeds and costs, as well as heat and overall power requirements when compared to GDDR5. TBH I can see Sony waiting a bit longer to release PS4 than Microsoft will be willing to do with the new Xbox, simply because the 360 has been out for 7 years & will have been out for 8 by the time any real time scale for release is known to the public. There's of course incentives for both companies to release as soon as possible because of the competition Wii U may bring releasing this year, but in terms of performance while better than PS3 & 360 it won't be as desireable to developers as more modern hardware, capable of making better use of engines like UE4, Luminous, Cryengine etc. It's not hard in a box the size of PS3 & 360 to build a machine that falls in line with Epic's 2.5TFlops requirement, certainly not expensive. Judging by what I've managed to gather from all sources available to date around Wii U ZombiU premium pack price is realistic for a machine that can produce that level of performance is perfectly reasonable & probably won't be released for much of a loss either, not when Sony & Microsoft can get massive bulk buy deals on parts. To finish up this lengthy post I'll say off the shelf parts in consoles are never going to be straight up chips that people buy on Amazon or in another shop, they will always be based on existing kit, that maybe hasn't been released to the PC market yet, tweaked to work well with all parts required to do the job. As a result of things being taken out (like components that are more suited to the PC environment) & a company like AMD being guarenteed sales of parts they wouldn't normally sell a boat load of prices will become cheaper for Microsoft & Sony by a large margin than the off the shelf. If you take the A10 rumour for PS4 dev kits which started doing the rounds recently it won't be that chipset straight up, it'll have all the nonessential stuff ripped out, very much custom made for the purpose, but not using everything on that die, this will mean the £98 or whatever we'd pay can easily go below half that price, same goes for a 7870, Sony may not even use the RAM, they'll probably just take the chipset, forget the board, fans and any other stuff not neededm maybe forget some of the stuff inside the chipset itself. Sony may even build these chipsets in their own factories, so the idea of them buying fully completed GPUs and such is very wrong. Even RAM will probably be customized to a degree, so that it works the best it can with whatever they choose to use.

The ps3 "normal" controller was motion controller. Games just didn't really use the feature much and only gamers who got the PS3 (1st version) would know. Also the PS3 motion controller are rechargable just like the normal ones. So no real batteries complaints. I believe that PS4 will do some type of touch screen thingy. They did it with the under-rated Vita so why not (unless Vita is the touch screen controller for the "Orbis").

She/He was referring to the rumor that the next-gen will be anti-used games. Both companies said that they want to find a way to stop used game. The idea is that companies will make you pay more for used games.
