Xbox One for me: the games are better; the controllers are more comfortable (PS controllers have that stupid, gimmicky light bar and touch pad which I don't care for); it's American; I don't even have to pick up the controller anymore or fumble around with the remote, I can use voice commands; and i'll take Live any day over PS Plus.

I don't understand why people say Sony cares more for gamers when the Xbox has the better lineup of games at the moment.


Was the American thing a joke? I hope so.

People say Sony cares more because Sony didn't have the anti-consumer nonsense that the Xbone was advertised with.

No it's not a joke actually, the Xbox is really American. What makes you think i'm joking? The Xbox was designed by Americans in Seattle for Microsoft, which is an American company. I always consider American products and jobs in my purchases first before a foreign product, especially with the economy still volatile. I might be old school in that regard but that's the way I was raised. The Xbox represents the United States, PS4 and Nintendo represent Japan.

Microsoft got rid of the DRM policies and the online requirements, and they weren't anti consumer. How was it anti consumer? You PS fans say the same things over and over like a broken record. Back your claims up with facts.

But who cares where it was created? What impact does that really have on the quality of the product? Very little. Maybe it's just my hatred for patriotism and nationalism all together, but I judge a console by it's merits and completely free of it's country of origin.

Before you go throwing around accusations, I'm not a PS4 Fanboy or anything such. I'm a PC gamer first and foremost and I sided with Microsoft last gen to start off with and still have my good old Xbox 360 Elite from 2008. Hell, I haven't even bought a PS3 yet. So I'd watch what you say when it comes to that.

Yes, Microsoft did drop the DRM policies, but you know what? They were still GOING TO make you need an online connection. They were going to enfore the intrusive Kinect on you. They were going to enforce these intrusive, anti consumer policy on you. That's what really matters. The damage was already done. The fact that they were going to make used games, a perfectly legal thing that we, as consumers, have the right to do, impossible is downright criminal.
