Yes, because the average gamer knows/cares what GDDR5 Ram is.....just say "slightly better graphics"



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

The PS4 has:

- more RAM, better RAM (GDDR5).

- More raw power.

- Super enormous support for INDIE devs and Indie games, with self publishing deals and a lot of respect.

- Psn plus with free games (Driveclub is free at launch) and amazing discounts and deals.

- It is 399 dollars

- Amazing library of PS3, Ps2 and PSone games via streaming Gaikai.

So, it is a day one purchade, IN MY OPINION. 


Fixed for you to be less offensive ;)



It's just that simple.

My PC is a better spec then both of them but I will still get them both on day one.
I am a gamer so therefore it is about the games to me.
Both have games I am interested in.

If however I could only get one if they released on 1st day I would go for the x1 simply because the day one games on that appeal more. It is like Kill zone and drive club vs Dead rising 3 and Forza.

Buying something just for the ram is laughable.

Funny, the options in the poll would suggest you just buy a gaming PC and do away with weak consoles.

All multiplats are gonna be best on PS4, so PS4 first, 180 can wait till its cheaper and has a few decent exclusives. Hopefully that bill will go through in america and we can all get one without the kinect.

I wonder how many Sony fans know the difference between gddr and ddr?

any tech person will know what in getting at. As for exclusives that's personal taste. I dontrateball of sonys exclusives as highly as some seem to

I am pretty sure you have never played them for real. I can talk because I HAVE Alan Wake (great), Gears of War 1 ans 2 (great) and Halo ODST (awfull). I have a 360, I have FINISHED THESE GAMES.

Play UNCHARTED, LITTLEBIGPLANET, Killzone 2 and Last of Us, from start to the end. Then we can talk like adults.


Your wrong pal. Ive owned every PS consoleever made ( not including handhel ).

I loved PS1, PS2 and still loved PS3.

I owned Xbox 1 and 360 also.

Also owned Nes, Snes, N64, Wii, Mega Drive, Ps2, Dreamcast.

 

My fave consols are Nes, Snes, N64, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2, XBox and 360.

SO Im pretty varied.

I have played Uncharted 1,2 and half of 3. Good series, not gret for me. GOW3 my fave PS3 game. LBP good game.  etc.

I know what I like.

But the GDDR vs DDR thing you should look up. GDDR ram is for GPU.DDR is for CPU. On the CPU sie Xbox ONne has the advantage. GDDR isnt good for CPU work.

But GDDR5 is good for APUs. Which the PS4 and XBO have.


@OP: It all comes down to the exclusives. Sony has Naughty Dog. And that dev is responsible for 2 of my all time favourite games ever (Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us). So for me, day one PS4. With Killzone and Knock, most likely. But inFamous Second Son comes out soon after launch, and that one looks really good. Plus, Delsin is voiced by Troy Baker. Who did a stellar job on The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite. So I can't wait to see how he'll do on that game. Seems like they're taking the series' narrative to a new level.

Most of you guys may end up with both consoles in the end. No need for the fuss. This is just about which one you'll get first. I'll get PS4 first, due to preferred "games and Price"

I agree. Let's vote with our wallets and support companies that aren't trying to screw us over.
