No it's not, Watch Dogs is coming out on multiple systems (and does look fantastic)
It's even coming out on the 360, and PS3.

Sorry but the gaming console has been dieing a slow death for years and any new console needs to be more. Look at the new Wii... total flop, and that is a pure gaming console.
No there isn't. No Zelda, no Metroid, no proper Mario, and no exclusive third party games worth a damn. No reason to buy the console on the game front.
Ah i'm the opposite. If i'm going to be buying one console over another and exclusive titles were the overriding factor I'd go with Microsoft. There are a couple Playstation titles that are decent (i.e. SOCOM US Navy Seals back when it was good). Also I play a little bit of EVE Online and DUST 514 is also exclusive on PS3.
The key thing to remember is that it's not the raw specs that matter, it's how each company/console implements their architecture and how efficiently they do it. What also really pissed me off about the Playstation 3 was that the majority of their titles - despite being in blu-ray format - are in 720p while xbox games using DVD discs are 1080p.
Lets face it.. people are complaining about everything .. almost .. these days so Microsoft cant win.
Now had it been Apple who made this thing, then it would be "magical"..
Microsoft has filed for a Kinect-related patent, and it’s a doozy of an application. The abstract describes a camera-based system that would monitor the number of viewers in a room and check to see if the number of occupants exceeded a certain threshold set by the content provider. If there are too many warm bodies present, the device owner would be prompted to purchase a license for a greater number of viewers.
No, really. It’s that blunt. From the abstract: “The users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken.”
Others are knee jerk defending Microsoft whatever they do. Here is a nice related thing for you to defend. have fun:
What? No way! Only Apple can have Fan Bois, thus why they must be brought up and villianized even in a thread about a sector of the market they're not involved in. Gosh Redress, get up to speed on the realities of life from spain before you post such absurdities.
I am not a huge gamer and have old gen systems, but I must say that the Xbox One's conference was complete and utter crap. The goddamn thing looks like a VCR and apparently they are having added security with their games in which when you buy the game, you enter a confirmation code.
Also, this just in: No backwards compatibility (Xbox One will not be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 games | The Verge)
I'm a PlayStation guy. And yes, the PS4 stats look better for this reason alone: Backwards compatible with previous PS* games. Besides, the X-Box failure rate is alarming once you consider how much you're spending on the system + the amount of agitation that would come with having to ship off your X-Box that you spent several hundred dollars on for repairs as possibly soon as the first time you operate the machine. Out of the box failures are a failure on Microsoft, as are, failures within, I'd say, a two year period. I've had my PS3 since 2008. It is not perfect, but it has had no serious issues.

Sounds impressive. Problem though, comparing to PS4, leaked(ie unofficial) specs:
PS4
・CPU: Jaguar 8 Core CPU @ 2.0GHz
・GPU: Radeon GPU @ 1.84TFLOPS
・Memory: 8GB GDDR5 @ 176GB/s
■Features:
・Backwards compatible with previous PS* games
・Can remote play on PSV
・PlayStation Eye
・Supposedly plays used games
・Est. price: $300-$500
・Has a Share button!
Xbox One
・CPU: Jaguar 8 Core CPU @ 1.6GHz
・GPU: D3D 11.1 GPU @ 1.2TFLOPS
・Memory: 8GB DDR3 @ 68GB/s
■Features:
・No backwards compatibility
・Now has Blu-ray & TV support, in the US at least
・Kinect
・Plays used games if you pay again
・Est. price: $300-$500
・Has Windows 8!
Not only does it look like the PS4 has better stats, but the fact that the Xbox will not be backwards compatible and that the XBox will not allow playing used games without paying a fee are both confirmed and significant.
Xbox 360 games won't work with the Xbox One | Reviews - Games and Gear - CNET Reviews
News: Microsoft confirms 'pre-owned fee' for Xbox One - ComputerAndVideoGames.com
The end result, after the announcement, Sony stock prices shot up, going from 20.97 to 22.91 in a couple hours. That is a 10 % increase.
A new Splinter Cell is in the works now. I think it's called Blacklist?[insert typical PC snob comment here]
that pretty much sums up my feelings. Only reason I even own a console (xbox 360) is to play sports games and Halo and a couple of the Tom Clancy games which Ubisoft always dumps the PC version onto some third party developer. Sony as a company I just haven't been that impressed with.
It's supposed to be backwards compatible by running the games off the cloud. We'll see how well that works out.

Well, then that's not really "backwards compatible," because it means you have to re-buy those games in order to play them on the PS4. Regardless, you're right...time will tell if that's something people will go for. Honestly, I think BOTH the PS4 and the XBoxOne will be crap sellers for the first few months (in contrast to what they think they'll sell. There's just not that much difference between the 4 and the 3, like there was between the 3 and the 2.
No, I don't think you have to re-buy them, just put the disc in and the game will run off the cloud.
You've obviously not been introduced to the "yellow light of death." I have.
Also, I went through 3 PS2's. Those DVD mechanisms were so flimsy, harsh language would damage them.
