Xbox One vs PS4

[Yeadon]

No, I didn't think so.

I hope Titanfall can live up to it's hype. I don't see you utter brilliance of it from where I am standing?

 

[Dark_Angel]

Nice to see my poll is correctly reflecting actual sales. The PS4 is outselling the Xbox One by 2:1.

 

[Yeadon]

I wonder why the Xbox One drops it's price to £399 on Friday?

Lack of sales & interest?
Massively overpriced at launch?
Losing ground to Sony day-by-day?

The mandatory inclusion of Kinect was a huge mistake.

This just in: People don't want to pay for something they don't want.

 

[Yeadon]

How can you go head to head with a hardcore gaming machine when your main attribute is a camera? Losers.

Stick to raking in licensing revenue Microsoft. It's all your good at.

 

[Franny]

Dropped the price and bundling titanfall is a pretty good offer

 

[Yeadon]

Depends what you want. The console did not match PS4 in all departments so for it to be more expensive for a piece of kit that has been well and truly proven inferior to it's competition, seems like a no-brainer.

Cheaper | Superior >>> Expensive | Inferior

There's some logic.

This is one of a number of terrible mistakes made by Microsoft. This is basically the only big one they didn't change. But probably the main one they shouldve. They went for the Wii market, forgetting the Wii market isn't a hardcore market who wont even upgrade to a Wii U.

Their egos got in the way of sensible decision making. They didnt ask "what do customers want?", they only asked "what do we want?" And MS got a quick smack to the face by the consumer who is in fact the one with the power. MS backpeddled, but still thought they were in the right. Idiots.

I just purchased Thief, Black Flag and Tomb Raider to add to my Shadowfall, Battlefield 4, Ghosts and Fifa 14. Love it.

 

[timtadams]

To think, I could be having fun while playing games. And yet here I am playing Dota 2, in all its infinite f*cktardedness.

 

[Garrett2]

due to steam giving me 75% off, i just picked up mass effect 1 and 2.

will finally be playing these games for the first time!

PC MASTER RACE!

 

[tobapopalos]

Mass Effect is damn good.

 

[drakey]

Not sure yet. Depends on the games.

 

[Yeadon]

The launch titles may well be better on the Xbox One but that evens out over time.

I bought a PS4 as it can run my games natively at 1080p which is important to me considering the amount my TV cost me.

 

[Alcibiades]

I've played both, and as usual, prefer the Xbox. I can't really explain why. I just don't much like anything about Playstations. However I have friends who adore it, so there's that. Pick whichever one you want!

 

[tobapopalos]

So it's been a while since the consoles were released, and I've saved up enough to buy one. I've read a few reviews and loads of noob fanboy comments all over the place, and basically I still don't know which I should buy.

XBOX seems to have better exclusive games but PS4 is slightly more powerful. PS+ seems to have the edge on xbl. But xbox controllers are nicer than PS ones. I genuinely can't make my mind up.

So I was wondering if you guys have any more experiences/tips which could be useful. I'm more inclined to listen to you guys than the kind of dribbling spastics I've seen on review sites.

And please don't say "omg get a gaming PC" because that isn't happening.

I am sticking with 360 (been with Xbox since the release of the original console) for the foreseeable future, but I will be switching to PS4 if any.

Have had so many problems regarding Xbox and Xbox live. Servers always causing more problems than doing any kind of good and found their help system uselss. All they cared about was getting you to pay to play online and then they just dump on you. I havn't renewed my xbox live for the past 3 months now because of it.

I've always prefered my ps3 but they took £120 out of my bank account (I hadn't logged in for near 3 months) and then they tried telling me that it was me who spent the money even though they agreed I hadn't logged into my account for 3 months. Work that one out. Soon as the police got involved they were very very quick in paying me back but in the process they banned my online account so I lost everything on GTA 5 and FIFA 14. They now refuse to unban me as they don't believe my account is 'safe' and is breaking their terms and conditions.

All in all, I wouldn't waste my money of either of these two companies.
