500 Questions
Are PS2 games interchangeable with the newly coming out PS4?
Asked by Wiki User
Unfortunately the new PS4 will not be able to play any games that were available on the previous PS2 or PS3 consoles. However, Sony has stated that they hope to be able to offer this ability sometime in the near future.
Why was the ps4 made?
Asked by Wiki User
Why? Well, essentially, Sony wanted to compete with Microsoft. Video Games are big business, and Sony wanted to make money on selling the consoles.
Spec wise, the Ps3 has six cpu cores, which is very powerful. It also has a very good video card, but little Video RAM.
The Xbox 360, meanwhile, has advantages in other areas, but can't play blue-ray disks , and it doesn't have six cores. (I believe it has 2, but I may be wrong.)

How much cost PS4?
Asked by Wiki User
At the day of release the Playstation 4 retailed for $399/£350/€350. The price of it has remained constant as of early 2014.
Many individuals have sold the PS4 for more than it costs because it is in short supply. These prices are sometimes hundreds of dollars more that the retail price of the item. Other suppliers will only sell it combined with games and accessories and they are sold at full retail for the bundle. Retailers do this because their profit on the games and accessories is higher than just for the console

Can the PS4 play xbox 360 games?
Asked by Wiki User
"No, there are no cross-platform compatible games for them. Two different console lines, they are at war with each other so there will never be compatibility between them."
Not entirely true, there are ways of playing a PS3 game on Xbox 360. Also contrary to poplar believe you can fix the "red ring of death" when everyone seems to think that they have to get a new xbox every time that happens to them.

Which is better PS4 or xbox1?
Asked by Wiki User
Xbox One. Not only is it a gaming console, its also a great entertainment system. If you like playing games and enjoying movies and tv its the system for you. It can do everything th ps4 can and more. The price is pretty much even with the ps4 asswell.
Can ps3 games play on a PS4?
Asked by Wiki User
yes can not be verified
Nothing released under the specifications says that it will be backward compatible and the Dual Shock 4 controller is not backward compatible for the PS3 and required for the PS4
its official that the new ps4 will be backwards compatible, this also means that most ps4 games could be played onto the ps3. No that is not what backward compatible means but sooner or later down the round the ps4 will make "playstation exclusive" for the ps4 only. this is just my opinion but knowing Sony they will do something like this. Your information was never correct PS4 games will be designed for the greatly expanded capabilities of the PS4 and will not be playable on a PS3 ever. The term backward compatible refers to newer consoles having the capability to play games from the older consoles
What has the most votes xbox 1 or PS4?
Asked by Wiki User
There are no votes on this just like there never were for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It would be meaningless anyway as few voters would have experience with both systems since it is before either have been released. No doubt many individuals will describe in detail without any accurate information why each is the better system.
Right now my PS3 with it full system of accessories costing hundreds of dollars and a huge TB harddrive filled with games is much better than what will come in the PS4 Box with it's single controller and no games. Expect to invest much more than just the $400 or $500 the system's cost for just the console.
