Why do you do this to yourself?

It seems like the PS4 is not performing as well as it should given the cards it was delt.

-Lack of updates.a Xbox One had 8 great updates and PS4 had one boring stability update

-Lack of Exclusive games, PS4 has no more this year other than Drive Club which not that many people want. LBP3 is on ps3.

-No longer the king of indies. Xbox One has more indies coming in Q3/Q4 this year.

-Lack of 3D blueray support

-Lack of Youtube uploading

-Lack of Full HD twitch

-PS4 no longer has price advantage over the Xbox One (who can blame sony though)

-Sony basically told EA to buzz off and that EA games had no value

-MLG went to Xbox One instead of PS4

 

It seems like the PS4 could be doing Wii numbers had they addressed these issues but they probably will not anytime soon. It feels like Xbox One might be able to gain some serious ground in 2015

im getting tired of seeing these threads,  ok so as far as firmware updates wasnt everyone bitching last gen that they did it to often?  also what has MS added in thier firmware updates that Sony didnt have alread,  

The First one had just stablility issues irroned out

the second one had a bunch of small improvements to apps and such and stability issues fixed

third one had improved friends list stuff, improved chat and party stuff, Twitch finally added(also something ps4 had) other improvements for stuff like audio, live tv,  and smartglass

forth one had bluray 50hz, some stability fixes, a progress bar for your game saves, more dvr fuctions for tv, some friends improvements, kinect improvements

fifth one had a sound mixer option(oh great now dumb people can make thier system sound horrible by messing with thier mixer) and a way to opt into help improve speech recognition

sixth one had external storage(ps4 can replace internal drive with bigger drive)  they added real name for xbox live(was in ps4 day one) added auto login(also in ps4 since day 1) add xbox live gold area in the store(psn has had a PS+ section since day 1) and some stupid tv guide crap

seventh one had  one literally added nothing that sony would be able to add being they dont have the same OS with the snap feature(something i have yet to use more then once) and they added languages for kinect,

 

so please where are all these great updates, cause to me it seems my xbox is just catching up to the ps4 in features yea its great that MS is doing this but Sony has no reason to rush a firmware out just to add features, personally i prefer sony doesnt do what they did with the ps3 where they release a firmware just to have to realease another firmware to fix issues with the previous one.  id rather them release these small firmware updates and then hit us with the 1.x0 firmware which adds features.  1.8 will probably add some new features and i wouldnt be shocked if we saw it in Sept, every 3 months is fine for a feature firmware.

lol ok if you say so...let forget that most of the updates that MS is doing now are of things the PS4 already had for months, lets foget that. So basically MS is playing catch up and somehow they are "winning".

- 3D support is coming/came out this week for the PS4 or you just DECIDED not to mention that?

- Now indies are not bad? whatever happened to the indiestation or all that bull? also there a lot and lot of indie games on PSN, many of which are just coming to XBL. 

- now regarding Youtube- http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/06/09/youtube-coming-to-ps4-this-year/

apparently it came later on the PS4 because Sony was working on incorporating it better with the share system on the PS4

- dude, do you even look up these claims you make? HD twitch has been available since April- http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/04/25/ps4-1-7-firmware-update-allows-you-to-stream-in-hd-on-twitch-too-position-chat-to-the-side/

- Pricing, yet they are still been out sold like crazy...

- While I somewhat agree that sony should have still made this available for its customers. If PS Now becomes a subscription like they said in their latest video on youtube, I would rather have that than this EA access.

- Please, we both know the amount of fuck tonnes of money MS threw at MLG, dont act suprised. I knew MLG would still go with the Xbox even if they were been outsold by PS 10:1. 

PS: Other than Sunset Overdrive and Forzan (w/e) what is coming out for the Xbox One EXCLUSIVELY?



Even though I agree that the XB1 is poised to have a better time going forward through 2015, I disagree that the PS4 will fall off too much. The reality is that the PS4 will do quite well. M$ can only hope to get the XB1 into respectability. I do expect the XB1 to gain parity or even take an eventual lead in the US. Outside the US, it really has no chance to go very far...



It is near the end of the end....

Wait? What's coming out for the Xbox One later this year? Other than Sunset overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 (which is on the 360)?

I'd also love to see the list of Xbox indies for the end of this year compared to the PS4 list.

Although I don't expect you to back it up.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

When Sony's exclusives start coming out you'll start worrying about the competition.

Actually PS4 is still selling faster than Wii, based on the shipment numbers that Sony released today PS4 is roughly half a million ahead. It's probably mostly because of better availability but even with poor Japanese sales PS4 is in front.

And how many features did Wii miss? Exactly, way more. Xbox hade way better online functionality  than PS2 aswell, did it help sales? Nope.

It's all about games, and the only thing Sony is really doing wrong right now is the complete lack of proper Japanese titles, and the poor sales there show that.

Actually. Forza Horizon 2 on X360 is not the same game as what is coming out on Xbox One..  The X360 will be a game inspired by the X1 version.. but not the same game..
