Hi I am a pc gamer & my parents are buying a new tv so I thought I'd get a console cause not a lot of people are Steam gamers & I am not quitting Steam gaming I just want to do both ( I am aware of that consoles run games on 30fps and majority of games on it are 720p or upscaled 1080p & only a few are native 1080p )
So I've a plan for a ps4 I don't have a lot of knowledge in consoles I know somewhat though like ps4 has slim and fat versions but what are the pros and cons of both?
Which cable comes with ps3 & ps4 by default? is it A/V cable? I know you have to buy HDMI cable seprately
is it possible for ps4 users to play with ps3 users online?
Is it possible for me to replace the existing storage drive with a larger one or a SSD? ( I know it would void the warranty but is it possible? )

PS4 slim is little more powerful than fat PS4 and PS4 Neo. PS4 users can play with PS3 users online only in cross-play games, I'm not fully sure or may be its impossible right now. Yes you can upgrade storage to large one.
 
I'd go XBox One, it allows you to stream Xbox games to your PC if you want and integrates well with Windows 10 PC's on the same network for streaming. Also in September cross play launches, this is where you buy a game once but can play it on both pc and Xbox and your achievements and game saves are shared on both platforms. Ok it's a limited number of games to start but hopefully it will grow. Also the One controller is great on a PC too.

In relpy to AK195 there is no ps4 slim that is coming out anytime soon. The only rhing anounced was a ps4 neo which is a faster version of the ps4 that isnt coming out for a while. As for op's questions I will answer them as soon as i get off of work and on my pc. To much to write on mobile.

Okay so the ps4 and ps3 players are not able to play with each other just like xbox and ps players cant play together. There are a select very few games that can play together like Destiny. Their is no slim model of the ps4 only the original and the neo which is going to be the newer faster model of the ps4 for those who want the option. While the ps3 has 3 versions the fat, slim and super slim. I would go with the slim as it has less problems compared to the other two but the 3 are the same speed. The cables that come with the ps4 are the power and hdmi the ps3 is only power. The hdd is replaceable in both consoles. The ps4 is the dieing console as everyone is moving on to the newer console ps4. Games are starting to stop being made for the ps3 and are more concentrated on the ps4 the newer generation. Some of these questions could be answered with a quick 2 second google search please try to do at least some research.
