Playstation 4 Or Xbox One

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Rumours are that Microsoft has to downgrade the GPU of the Xbox One EVEN further due to technical issues. LOL Are Microsoft even trying? Sony must be loving this!

The PS4 will be the better hardware with better exclusive games, however, those are not the most appealing things to the general public!

Xbox has three of the biggest advantages: Live, CoD DLC exclusivity and EA (read Madden and FIFA exclusive content. That is enough for most buyers in the world; which are sports, shooters and a top online experience (be that with friends or anonymous people)...

I am a fierce gamer and because of that I have always been and will always be a Playstation boy, I buy game consoles to play the best GAMES and to hae a decent free online experience, which is what PS4 will continue to deliver. However, I honestly cant see Microsoft screwing up as many people think they will. Their press conference may not have been appealing to us, but it got moms and dads going for the TV thing and the CoDs and FIFAs of life and it also made a lot of everyday media outlets (NYT, BBC, CNN, etc)...

What I am trying to say is that PS4 will be the best console, where the very high quality games will be. But in the end, Xbox One will outsell Sony and will be the better business.

Above all, there is no need for fights and pitty arguments. Both are great choices and you just need to see what fits you better!

EDIT: It is a bit like Apple and Samsung or iOS and Android. Two great plataforms and smartphones and different people will have different opinions and tastes. But in the end, all are good choices.

^^

The only two things that might prevent one or the other to do well is if one either launches with an extremely higher price or if one starts to show a lot of defects/bugs!

In case none of it happens, I predict Microsoft with 50% if the marketshare, Sony with 40% and Nintendo with 10%. Maintaining their geographic leadership in where they historically do so (MS in the Americas and Sony in Europe and Asia)...

@Rmpr, The always online, always on camera and microphone, paying for backwards compatability for each individual game have killed it for me. For the casual (as you said the FIFA and CoD market) it won't matter but for me it does. I find it disturbing and unethical, I know they won't be surveilling me personally but just the fact they can and at anytime greatly disturbs me. But don't count the PS4 out already, remember even with a year headstart, early exclusive and an already built in audience the Xbox360 managed to lose out to the PS3 in the end. And don't forget about that idiot a few months ago that was a PR nightmare for Microsoft. He came out swinging on the social media, to the point where he was insulting and antagonising consumners.The PS3 from about 2011 onwards had a hand every suite above the 360, who knows what will happen next gen. The exclusives pilled up and that pushed them over the line to 'victory'....

...Only if we don't count the Wii, but that's a gimmicky toy so we won't.

But on a different note, I hate what consoles have become. 10 years ago it was PS2 v Gamecube v Xbox v Dreamcast. The consoles marketed themselves. It wasn't about social media, online capabilities, touch screen pads, gimmicks, and all that other bullshit, if it were the Dreamcast probably would have won. Consoles sold themselves through their content. People looked at what console had the preferable ganes library and they choose that one. Exclusives and first pary developement not all the cherries and sweets on top. If it were up to me I would regress and make less more. Focus on games and playing them online. Forget social media, multi-media platforming and other gimmicks like touch screens.

I dont disagree Jake, I feel extremely uncomfortable with Kinect being turned on all the time and Xbox checking my internet connection. But I bet you most people buying them wont even know it does this!

Also, I am not discrediting PS4. I just think they cant beat what the costumer base Microsoft has buold with this generation (thanks to Sony's major fuck up with the PS3 late and expensive launch). Until now, they have chisen the right aproach and they are winning some important media outlets.

However, Xbox still has the better business (I said business, not console). Live makes an absurd amount of money while PSN gives expenses and Microsoft didnt subsidize their media as Sony did between 2006-2008. Above that, Xbox exclusives sell much more than Playstation.

So, although I think PS4 will have very similar numbers as Xbox One (like PS3 and Xbox 360). MS will gain more money than Sony, thus my guess of 50% and 40% of marketshare, respectively.

£429 for and XBox one how about NO

[The Skipper 20,609]

£429 for the Xbox One is robbery.

If rumours are true and Sony can offer the PS4 for cheap they'll have a field day.

Remember the Xbox One comes with Kinect (not saying anyone is interested in it, but still) and it surely adds cost...

Anyways, I think PS4 will go for U$399 and U$499!

The Kinect wouldn't add a significant fee on it though. At least I don't think it should!

It adds around U$40-50 according to IGN estimations, so I dont think it is as insignificant as people make.

Also, if you were to buy a PC with PS4/One configurations, you would be paying around 900 dollars (but a PC has more things and a screen obviously), so I dont think U$499 is that expensive. Especially if you compare it with a 16GB iPad, that goes for the exact same price!

Just wait, Sony wont be able to make the PS4 cheaper with the same specs...

Playstation has always been better than the xbox. Xbox is for fanny microphone heads who talk more shit than playing. On the PS3 wr get down to business. PS4 > Xbox Who?

I know just seen it too! was supposed to be writing a memoir but......that can wait.

And honestly all people want to hear is: "No DRM, used games are fine, $399." BOOM.
