Liam: Microsoft’s Xbox One is the console to buy

xBONE is terrible much!!!!
all good games are ps4, 4 gamers, 4 life!

I choose ps4 over xbox one due to better hardware and games. Sony might retract some games maybe a year later which is good because its something to look forward to microsoft in the other hands rush all theres out which leaves nothing to next year besides halo and quantum break. Im not fussed about tv capabilities sone tvs offer to do that aka samsung. Also dont be fooled the looks of quantum break I reckon it will get dumbed down and when it comes to exclusives and quality its sonys side with uncharted 4 and order 1988 aswell as bloodbourne they show better looking games n running on actual hardware

Xbox one have so much to offer. Look the games Xbox have more exclusives triple A games this holiday season and beyond that so many Indie games to. Xbox one have way more apps and much much better, Xbox live is way better than psn in a way of stability,and servers. In Xbox one if you are playing a game and you need to go and stop playing suddenly you don’t need to worried if you don’t save the game just turn off and when you’re ready to comeback the game in question will be were you left it. Another great feature is the ability to snap. The ps4 is a good console but right now Sony is focusing to much on indie games don’t take me wrong I love indie games but they need to have a balance between triple A and indie. And must important Sony is making a marketing on the resolution and frame rate and trolling about things that doesn’t matter.

To each their own. I would say that both consoles are equally compelling now because they have achieved parity in price and services. It comes down to UI and exclusives. Those are the only 2 criteria by which we can say there is relevant differentiation. I acknowledge the advantages each respective platform may have as it pertains to multimedia consumption options and graphical fidelity but as far as the core gaming experience goes these 2 machines are comparable.

I own the PS4 now but I will purchase the X1 when Halo 5 releases. Soon I won’t have to pick sides. My advice to everyone is buy the console that has the franchises you like. Go where your compatriots are. Ignore the banter of fanboys and the corporate rhetoric and hyperbole.

I am definitely going to get both. I have a xbox one already but the biggest reasons for choosing the xbox one for me was the controller and some of the exclusives. For me the xbox one controller is fantastic. I will be gaming ALOT and I want the controller that is the most comfortable and best to use and my opinion is the xbox wins in this department. Furthermore sunset overdrive, halo and gears of war and the games I am looking forward too in terms of exclusives. I wil get ps4 and will purchase exclusives and the non fps multi platform titles as they perform better on sonys console.

The X1 just does more and anyone who says different are more than likely just ignorant. The X1 offers more overall features a more stable and reliable online infrastructure followed by better matchmaking and superior chat quality (Skype) XBL also never go’s down for maintenance unlike PSN which will go down periodically.

I don’t understand the more power wins argument especially when exclusives for both systems look pretty evenly matched. I also don’t care if some random muti-plat runs at 900p on the X1 and 1080p on the PS4 because I care more about the online experience and quality of the service than I do for a few extra pixels that I’ll hardly notice on my screen anyway. The “power” argument is just as stupid and pointless as “who has the most indies” argument which seems to be the thing currently and with that said it becomes very clear which console offers the best overall package the way I see it.

The X1 also has a pretty good stable of exclusive games and MS seem to be more enthusiastic about big budget or full retail exclusives compared to Sony this time around. It isn’t MS who are pushing indies.

As a gamer I will eventually own both but I just can’t see why anyone would jump to own a PS4 first outside of just hype or being a fan of any particular PS exclusive, because most of the games it offers (indies and f2p multi-plats) can be played elsewhere. Sure some indies are exclusive but most are multi-plat or timed exclusive.

I think it all comes down to which exclusives you prefer. I am an Xbox 360 user and also purchased the Xbox One on day one. For my self I really love games like Halo and Forza 5, which are only on Xbox and not Playstation. The games look great and I really love the voice commands for quickly switching between games and/or apps

I went for the Xbox one with the Kinect because I wanted a game system that had other features like the TV Input and voice control . I will admit I did think that there would be more games that uses the Kinect abilities by now like D4 but only thing I have seen is Kinect sport which ill pick up when its cheaper. It really should be included in the 500 package and the 400 package should probably be Forza 5 or Ryse digital code.

Why didn’t choose a PS4 is because of the games that I am more interested in which are Gears, Halo, Forza, Crackdown and Titanfall. I was never much of a Infamous fan but I would like to get a ps4 sometime in the future for Uncharted and maybe God of War . I do feel like more power is great to have that’s why I feel like the Xbox should be cheaper but that’s just to sway more people to the Xbox side .

Xbox One is the OBVIOUS choice. For the following reasons

When you compare both systems you can’t take double format titles So around 50% of both console’s launch titles are out.

So we got a FPS vs FPS, and a Adventurey game vs a Adventurey game

While both consoles will be dead even down the lane after 2014, I think the choice is Xbox One.
Also Bing Toolbar allows for Extra Free Gaming

But that’s just me. I mean I am trying to win a PS4 as well, but I’m not rush to get one. Here’s to hoping there’s another promo for one.

Despite my advancing years I have never owned a games console preferring to do my gaming on computers (C64, Amiga and latterly PC). There was the odd game exclusive to consoles that I thought I might like to play but never enough to entice me to buy one and later I just decided the PS3 and Xbox 360 had been around too long to make it worth my while to purchase either.

With the advent of ‘next gen’ consoles I once again looked at making a purchase but which to go for? I looked at some of the more recent titles that were available on both systems and their predecessors and what was to come and this swayed me slightly towards the PS4. A friend who had many previous generations of consoles and had already bought a Xbox One also recommended that if I was to make the plunge to consoles I should opt for a PS4, and this is eventually what I went for.

Initially I thought I’d made a terrible mistake, not about PS4 rather than Xbone, but generally about getting a console. Now I’m used to the controls I have enjoyed the couple of games I’ve played. They are games I wouldn’t have bought for my PC. I will still buy and play games for my PC that I believe suit being played on the PC but will now have access to a different type of gaming experience on the PS4, I am particularly looking forward to playing the PS4 version of The Last of Us.

I am not really interested in the multimedia capabilities of my console atm, I have so many other options available for streaming movies and tv, so much so that my console lasted mere hours attached to my tv before migrating to sit beside my PC and getting plugged into my monitor so I could play sitting at my desk!

I have no interest in games consoles but have been wondering if anyone would mention reliability, simply because I’m interested in the reliability of consumer electronics. From what I can remember, both companies have had reliability problems with consoles in the past.

If your games console breaks just after the warranty expires then trying to get the retailer to do help you could be a fun game. If you pay by credit card then the card company will afford additional protection if you are let down by the retailer.

Will the PS4 be able to play games from the 3 or 2 ? I know the 3 doesn’t play games from the 2 and I think that was a huge mark against it.
