So you're the type to take things literally, I see. Turns out I have to educate you in internetiquette.
When I say 'no exclusives', it doesn't mean 'it has literally no exclusives', it means 'it has so few exclusives that it might as well have none' or 'it has no exclusives that interest me' or 'it has no exclusives going forward due to the Microsoft play anywhere thing with windows 10'. When someone says a console has no exclusives, the phrase isn't meant to be taken literally. How have you survived on the internet this long not knowing or understanding this? your blood pressure must be through the roof arguing with people about technicalities when the actual meaning of the phrase 'no exclusives' means 'literally no exclusives' to your brain.
Multiplatform titles ARE better on the PS4. Or at least the base model. The OG PS4 vs OG Xbox One has better GDDR Ram and a marginally higher processing power. Therefore, the BASE MODEL comparison has PS4 winning. Plus, the userbase is higher. If you had read the WHOLE statement instead of stopping at the first form of punctuation, you would have seen clearly that I was not talking about PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, because I don't have the sort of hardware setup to make use of those systems. And if I was going to buy the higher powered one, see point 1 to see that Xbox One has fewer quality exclusives that attract my attention, and the few it does have are on PC or will be going forward.
You listed three games. Again, you're taking the statements literally. Refer to comment 1 for the meaning behind that. And going forward, all games on Xbox are said to be on PC as well. Old games that came out years ago don't help your argument. Again, three games doesn't make a counterargument, because the term 'has no games' or 'has no exclusives' or 'has none that aren't also on PC' is clearly not meant to be taken literally, but functionally or virtually. for all intents and purposes the Xbox has no exclusives, and the few it has are either uninteresting or not enough to make me buy a console.
Our internet is not the problem. In our household, we have two Xbox Ones, two PS4s, two Switches, and three desktop computers, all hooked up to the internet. We can have both switches, both PS4's, and all PCs connected to our wifi, and the internet works flawlessly. If it's just me, home alone, using JUST my Xbox One and PC, the internet gets tanked. Any time my roommate plays any Xbox One games online, the internet gets tanked. Any time he downloads games on the Xbox, the internet gets tanked. Every time I install firmware or software updates on my Xbox One, it crashed the internet. The only thing that doesn't crash the internet is netflix. Again, we can have two switches, two PS4's, and three PCs all hooked up, torrenting, streaming, and playing games, and the internet is fine. As soon as either of the Xbox consoles connects to the internet for any gaming, the internet crashes (or goes so slow that it's like being back on 56k modems.) When an Xbox turns on, it takes ALL our bandwidth...and still somehow goes slower than my PS4.
In a controlled environment, I have my Xbox One and PS4 both hooked up wirelessly to our internet. The two are side by side, and both have the premium online services. Ps4 takes 2 hours to download a 9.8gb update and I can still browse and watch Youtube. Xbox One took 13 hours to download a 4 gig update and it crashed the internet. Whether there's something wrong with our internet that doesn't like Xbox or not, the fact is that the Xbox's internet connectivity is NOT working properly.
Back to the batteries. You're misrepresenting the point. I didn't think I had to clarify the intricate details. So here we go.
PS4 controller cost is 74.99. It comes with an internal battery that lasts for days on a single charge. No extra cost.
Both of these are a one time cost. I pay them, and I don't have to pay for them again. The Switch is more expensive of the two, but let me carry on.
Xbox One controller cost is 79.99. It does not come with a battery pack, therefore there will be extra costs. Either A - I have to pay another 29.99 to get a battery pack as a one time expense (thus bringing the cost of a single controller to $109.98), or I have to pay to get batteries every few months, which brings up the cost of the controller to up to 200 over the cost of its lifetime.
You can bemoan my gripes all you want, but the controller either costs considerably more upfront, or costs more upfront and greatly more over the course of its lifetime, thus making it a lesser value than a PS4 controller. And, to add extra insult that I didn't even bring up, Xbox has no 'added features', while the Ps4 has the touch pad and the Switch has the amiibo functionality. You may not value those things, but I do. In the end, the controller is the most expensive for the least value, and I neither wish to buy batteries or a battery pack. Therefore, if I have a choice, I chose the better value, hence another category the Xbox One has less value to me and therefore gets less play time out of me. |
Ok I am going to stop half way. I cant be bothered reading all that. Let me just prove your points wrong yet again in what I read.
1st - The term *No Exclusives* means No Exclusives, maybe next time use the term some Exclusives or Exclusives you are clearly are not interested in. I don't change the meaning of words based off random internet phrases. I mention exclusive games so your point is false. Like it or leave it. No Exclusives means no Exclusives. X1 offers some old games you cant get anymore which in terms makes it exclusive to X1. EG - Rare's Replay and Halo MCC offers over 35+ games you cant get anymore or anywhere else, that alone is 35 of some of the best games ever made on 1 platform running at there best. That number 35, ill let that sink in a little next time you say X1 has no games. And that's just 2 games I mentioned.
2nd - You mention PS4 runs games better (Base model) yet you seem happy to play X1 games on a low end PC? Which I will gather is less powerful than a X1X so there's contradiction right there. Power shouldn't be a factor if you are happy to game on a low end PC or base model consoles. The X solves your problem. That's a choice you choose to ignore.
3rd - You are complaining about $29 battery pack? haha okay.. What's even sadder is that you say the PS4 offers more features on there controller like the touch pad and Switch with its Amiibo feature.. okay, it has a touch pad that not many gamers probably give a damn about and Switch Amiibos doesn't add much for those who aren't into Amiibos. Did you choose to ignore the X1's Rumble Triggers? Or does your room mate not let you play his X1? Because that's exactly how it sounds.
4th - Some gamers prefer Batteries in there controllers rather than a built in Battery pack. X1 Controller at least gives you the option rather than forcefully giving you no choice. If that battery dies in your PS4 Controller, you have to buy a whole new controller while the X1 wont have that problem hence why its a better idea to have the option. Also the Battery life in the PS4's controller is very poor and you cannot increase that without modding the controller yourself.
5th - Okay so you have internet issues with your X1.. guess what? I don't, and I have my Switch, X1 and PC all plugged into the same modem. Again get that checked because that's a personal issue not a whole world scale issue.
6th - It sounds like you don't like Xbox from the start and you seem to have all bases covered with your PC being the replacement for it.. soooo who's X1 is that in the Photo you linked? that's a better question. My sister has a PS4 and Pro in her room, I could easily take a photo and say its mine just to shut you up, but I don't need to go to those measures. Why even own a X1 if you have a PC, why did you buy one? why haven't you sold it yet? A lot of questions are coming out because it doesn't sound like you own that console, sounds like you have to share your living space with someone who owns a X1. Heck you didn't even mention the rumble triggers built into the X1 controller when you compared controllers. I am not buying your story.
Dare me to continue?
I am not here to nitpick you, I am curious to know what your answers mean without putting on the glasses.
All corporations get greedy and will try to drain you of your wallet. PlayStation just took MP away from you this gen and forced you to pay them, why? Because MS does it? Do they even have the same quality Server Network MS has? Far from it yet they will charge you for a less secured network with no dedicated servers for there games etc. At least with MS they are providing us the best the industry has to offer when it comes to the online infrastructure. All brands have there benefits and that is no doubt Xboxes strength.
If you don't like the X1, just say so. However these reasons don't make sense.
