Forums - Gaming - choosing between PS4 or the xbox 8 based on the more powerful hardware and price

I'll likely buy the one with the word "SONY" written somewhere on the box. Can't say for sure. As for controller preference, 3 things I'd change about the dualshock. Concave thumbsticks, Vita D-Pad and more weight.

I don't go for graphics, so even if the PS4 turns out to be some casual blu ray console or something, i'll still get it because i have spent so much money on PSN games/ PS3 games and such, and dedicated a huge amount of time for trophys, it doesn't mean i won't get the 720, i'm just always going to use a PS console as my main one

Plus trophys are far more satisfying then achievements


I have many friens who were hardcore sony fans, they always comment on how much better the 360 controller is then the ps3 controller, even nintendo has copied the 360 controller with the pro controller.

I find PS3's controller far better, it's the only controller i'm actually confortable in, the 360's controller is holding me back from buying it.


Really, I mean ive played COD BO on both version with 100+ hours each (Dont ask me why). And I think that the 360's controller is better and more accurate. Im not really sure why its holding you back.. Maybe it doesn't have a gyroscope? Or it doesn't have an internal battery pack? 



Yay!!!

Sony has been so fu**ing good to me this gen that I can' think of switching. PS3 was my first non-nintendo console, and I really really loved it. I love trophies, I love the OS, I adore PS+, and I did like a few of their exclusives.

Microsoft does have a few things that I want that COULD convince me to switch: Halo, Controller, exclusive third party content/third party games running better on the system, in my area everyone plays on xbox/I feel left out.

The only Sony exclusives that I really care about/ could convince me to buy: Infamous, Uncharted (Kinda, not really anymore). I used to love LBP but the formula has grown bland, and it's not as "stylish" as it used to be.

Also I hate Xbox green. Overall, I'll just have to see the systems first. If PS4 is priced reasonably, and has some exciting games, I will buy it. Nextbox will have to impress me right off the bat.

Ohh god, i hated the battery pack so much, my fingers would always smudge into them, and it was soooo unpleasing

anyways, my hands are quite small :) plus i find the Dualshock being small as a bonus, my hands fit around it so easy, and it's perfect, while i struggled to get my hands around the 360's controller, which was frustrating to say the least.

Seems like you like playing with your fingers straight across the back of the controller. Oh well, I guess you cant please everyone.

I hope they at least fix those horrid triggers...
Hands down the worst thing about it



Controller wise, I think the Dualshock is to small, and the triggers are bad, but on the flipside, I think that the Xbox controller is too big, and the sticks are a tad on the stiff side. Find a happy medium.




Personally i go for the games and not the specs. Sure better graphics is always a nice but not the selling point for me. If the pS4 exclusives are more appealing to you than buy a PS4 and if X Box8 exclusives are your thing than buy an X box. Simply.



Both systems will be on pair, pricing should be very close too. I think the games will be the factor that will differentiate them.



personally i better performing and looking mulitipatform games is a huge deal to me, so specs matter to me, i want the best version.
