As if we needed more dev confirmation that the PS4 is over 40% more powerful than Xbone

The key here is:

The most powerful console
The cheaper of the two consoles
The best 1st party studios
Easier to program by far than the Ps3
More indie devs than XboxOne
Bigger launch window line up
Cheaper online
Less items behind a paywall

Isn't that a potential good combination? It's not like the Ps4 has only one or two little things going for it right now, it seems to have a lot.

This. I dont understand any reason to buy a Xbone other than brand loyalty.

It's quite easy! Watch.

Most powerful = irrelevant. I enjoyed the PS2 and it was not only less powerful, it was the LEAST powerful. I enjoyed the Wii and it was not only less powerful, it was the LEAST powerful. I also enjoyed the 360 and it was less powerful. Also, I have a gaming PC. If I cared about power, I wouldn't bother with these adorable little consoles.

Cheaper = I have money. I can see this being an issue to those on a tighter budget though.

Best 1st party = opinion
Easier to program than PS3 = that's great but I plan on playing games, not making them

More indies = At launch, certainly. I don't buy consoles for timed exclusive indie titles though. But I did love the shit out of XBLA this gen. So this will be something I keep my eye on down the road

Bigger launch window lineup = another opinion. I mean.. have you seen Titanfall? Can I play that on PS4? No? Then for me, Xbone wins this category.

Cheaper online = what is it, $10 less per year? And that is only if you buy subscriptions at maximum price, which only schmucks do. Please guys, don't be schmucks.

Less behind paywall = Irrelevant for me, I don't use Netflix on my consoles. My kids do, but I have smart televisions in my office and bedroom. Seeing how I will be subscribing to PS+ and XBLG, this doesn't matter for me.

 

You see? All perfectly logical, valid reasons, without a morsel of "brand loyalty".

"I have money. I can see this being an issue to those on a tighter budget though."

"what is it, $10 less per year? "

" Irrelevant for me, I don't use Netflix on my consoles"

This is brand loyalty,  giving away extra money for less features.

" timed exclusive indie titles though"

"have you seen Titanfall?"

You expeculate that the indies are timed exclusive and that titan fall is not when there is no evidence of any of those assumtions.

"Most powerful = irrelevant"

Relevant only when pairded with the best developers, Sony has better first party studios, and the fact they for the first time have access to a more powerfull easy to program console will make a difference compared to pass generations

"Best 1st party = opinion"

a widely shared one, just look at the metacritics scores, also pay attention to who has the most innovatives titles.

"that's great but I plan on playing games, not making them"

Exactly, easier programming means better and more games, but oh well

 You, in this case might have some unjustified reasons, there is a difference between a reason and justification, here you have your reasons, no justification. Giving away more money for less features cant be justified, also ignoring historical facts, like the DRM fiasco, content overlapping with PC, yada yada.

Anyway i should have made my first post more clear, people might have reasons to buy an Xbone, there is just no Justification.

While I will be buying the PS4 and Xbox One at some point (first time since the NES for me not buying new systems at launch), the bickering on here over power is hilarious.  My i7 says hi to your puny little consoles :)....  Anyway, anyone who thinks that the power of the console is all inportant really isn't a true gamer.
