From what I've seen the snapping and voice commands don't work too well on the XBO. That's something that could be patched in the future but it seems strange those were listed as positives.


Because if set up properly, they work 95% of the time. So much better than previous Kinect.

IGN are entitled to their opinion. Everyone is.

I disagree. I dont want just a games console anymore. What I have is way to good to trade for a PS4. No contest. I still believe and out and out console wont sell the most this gen. It will be a media device that does.

The PS4 doesnt do media?? Odd, i was just playing BF4, then multi-tasked to netflix, works great...PS4 has all the media featrues of x1 (Or will once dlan gets patched).

 

All x1 has is cable pass thru, which is a useless feature. I already have cable.


Xbox One already has twice the apps in the uk over PS4. At launch. It has the ability to multi task more programs/apps/games at the same time. Also you say the cable pass through is uselss. I can recieve a Skype call whilst watching Sky 1. Or a game invite wjilst watching Sky Sports F1 HD. Or I can snap in Internet Explorer and order an item whilst watching the advert I saw the item on. I can snap in a game guide whilst lost on a particular level. I can control the volume of my TV, The menu of my TV and even switch the TV on/off when my Xbox switches on and off all with Voice.

The multitasking of PS4 isnt in the same league as Xbox 1. I can stop a game, put in another game and it will leave off exactly where I was 5 days ago. It remebers. I can pin my faveourite apps to my desktop. The PS4 is a good games machine. But its multimedia functions are far less. I can also add channels to the One Guide like specific Netflix watches, Lovefilm, Skydrive photos or videos all in the One guide alongside TV channels. Its a far more cohesive and personalized entertainment experience. And one the PS4 doesnt come close to.

You don;t even know what you are talking about..Ps4 can multi-task between games and apps, and it is fast and responsive........ I can Switch to PS4's much faster browser on PS4 as well, maybe get your facts straight.

 

Ps4 has many mroe apps coming, they are already on psr with x1 in apps and more are coming.

 

The multi-yasking in X1 is not leagues better. it works fast and the same on PS4..Why do you need to watch TV and play a game at the same time?? Dumb waste of resources.

 

snap is a uselesss feature taking resources away from a consoles main purpose. I can already multi-task with PS4 and the Os is lightining fast. I can already watch cable.

 

Many people use PVR's today, making the x1's cable already useless. There are already better media devices on the market, so why buy an x1 for media?? There is already a superior gaming machine out and it's cheaper, that does all the media functions anyone will ever need.

 

ms is guilty of wasting resources and money on things people simply don't need or want. In this day where everyone has inter connected phones, tablet, devices, snap is a pointless resource hog. Voice can be done with a mic, and there are no games making kinect even desierable.. Meaning it is 100 more for voice that diesn't work all the time, or even replace something that can already be done more accuratlry.
