X-Box 360 owners, why are you switching to PS4?

[dyremose]

i gradually shifted to sony during this gen and in the next race i wont be buying an xbox one

i bought a 360 as my first current gen console once GTA came out... to be honest i didnt even consider that the ps3 was out by then.. propably because it was so expensive at the time so the logical choice for what i would assume would just be my GTA machine was of course the 360.

things was nice at first.. party chat was fun and exclusives like dead rising + multiplatform titles running great.. i was a vocal anti Sony guy, mainly because i couldnt really budget to shell out more money for a second console, accessories and games while being "tied down" with paying for gold on xbl and new titles aswell. as time went by i started getting really into the fanboy war. bashing sony whenever i could (not something i am proud of).. main point was that "it has no games" this of course meant that i spent a lot of time on internet news sites.. fueling the war... a natural sideeffect to this though was seeing all the exclusives that were coming to the ps3.. at first i shrudded it off... now the new hate sentence was.. "no cross gamechat? lol what a piece of shit".. time went by and while sony got more and more impressive exclusives microsoft was slowing down.. recycling the same old halo, gears and forza... all of them which was a huge letdown to me, but bought into the hype... for a long time i wanted a ps3 but my pride prevented me from stopping being a fanboy. by a complete coincidence, my very generous family member offered to buy me a ps3. i couldnt say no.. this was just after killzone 2 came out which looked like the best thing ever. unfortunately i didnt like the clunky gameplay, but it was still a solid title. the exclusives werent enough (thought MGSIV was only okay) i continued hating on the ps3 and could now use the excuse that i had one and knew what i was talking about.. only i never played it. time went by again and microsoft introduced the kinect. it had so much promise and i ran out at launch and bought it.. it was the worst purchase i ever made. by then i had just moved out from home and had a rather small apartment. i had to rearrange my living quarters every time i wanted to boot it up because it takes so much space... not only that but it didnt track motion properly and had the same shovelware titles as the wii did. i was infuriated. their games focus now became almost exclusively focused on kinect crap and 3rd party titles with 2 weeks exlcusive dlc... meanwhile Sony had announced uncharted 2 (timeline might get blurred here) and it looked amazing.. i was skpetical though because of the other exclusives. i played uncharted 1 first to see if i should get my hopes up and i was blown away.. voiceacting like this was just unheard of. production values were through the roof. that was the reason to buy a ps3... then uncharted 2 came out and i instantly declared it the game of the gen and naughty dog my all time favourite studio. i was at last satisifed with my purchase, but sony wasnt done. heavy rain, resistance 3, journey and more recently the last of us. when TLOU came out this late in the generation.. a new brilliant IP. by then i knew i was looking at a company commited to giving consumers what they expect. in my eyes microsoft became greedy, mainstream, and lately extremely anticonsumer with the whole DRM/used games. i didnt personally have anything against always on and no used games. i never buy games used (although i sell those that suck but that is pennies to be lost). what couldnt take was the principle of it. a monetary move is good if it benefits consumers at the same time, but this was just done because they thought they could get away with it... what microsoft said with it was that we are all sheep and you will buy it because we have power and money. i loathe them now. not in the pathetic fanboy type of way, but i want them out of this industry because it tried to lessen everyones rights and shit on us all. now of curse they have backtracked, but microsoft got the killing blow in my mind once they tried to pull this. i dont know about you guys, but being respected as a consumer is very important to me.

fool me once.. shame on you.. fool me twice shame on me.
