I'am wondering why everyone purchases a PS4 instead of a XBox One because the XBox One has the better games right now! I hope this will change with the Kinectless XBox One SKU!!!


I posed that same question to a few friends of mine that recently purchased PS4 consoles for their households. For clarity, the group of us are older gamers with children, have played video games for 15+ years, and are middle-class incomes living on budgets. Below are the answers I was given...

1. The production of many games is similar across both consoles...Assassin's Creed IV, FIFA, Madden, Call of Duty: Ghosts, etc.

2. The PS4 was cheaper for the stand alone system at launch. Although you receive the Kinect with the Xbox One, the bottom line was price.

3.  They were not over-concerned with differences of video/audio quality, 1080p is 1080p. None of us could really tell any differences when I took my Xbox One to their house and we compaired game picture/audio quality.

I am certain that some of the commonalities will change, but will it be for better or worse?
