From the recent update, Sony got the hot spot in the next-generation showdown with Microsoft.

Jack Tretton, the President of Sony Computer Entertainment America, delivered the final blow with the relish of a true showman. It seems PlayStation 4 will not limit the exchange or selling of its games and it will not require a daily internet connection. Microsoft also came out with a solid enough start at Monday's E3 Xbox conference. Microsoft listed the starting price for Xbox One at $499, a predictable price for a powerful computer that could process the realistic cars of "Forza Motorsport 5" or city blocks full of the undead in "Dead Rising 3."

Basically Microsoft got the first dig, beginning with the conference with a trailer for Metal Gear Solid V, the latest series of tiles once inextricably linked with PlayStation. On the other hand, Sony team took twice the time Microsoft used to showcase games, with decent newcomers like "The Order: 1886" and "Destiny" as well as a surpassing amount of time talking about indie studios.

In the Last quarter, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, boldly went for Microsoft Jugular. With a great applause, he announced, "PlayStation 4 wont impose any new restrictions on used games, "

More than thousand GameStop's signed in relief. Thereafter Sony introduced viral video poking fun at Microsoft's waffling out look on DRM restrictions.

Sony briefly talked about the cloud and again confirmed that its handled device, the PS Vita, could stream games directly from PS4. Xbox One's Smart Glass app for tablets had earlier shown the ability to display in game statistics of you and your friends, but it was nothing quite likes what the PS Vista was offering.

The release dates of both systems will be later this year around the holidays, still fairly far away. Plenty could change and there are plenty of unanswered questions. The PlayStation 4 won the battle of E3, but we will have to wait until November to see who will win the war. Until then, better start saving.
