Like Francis, don't know why he is banging on about PS4 being more games centric, right now at launch it isn't, for what is announced in 201 it isn't. :S


I don't understand, PS4 has more titles announced overall than XBox One.

He also is not wrong in anything he says. PS4 is almost primarily focused on gaming. XBox One is focused on entertainment, whether it be TV or gaming, only with a sacrifice for quality in gaming in terms of resolution/features.

Does it???

I haven't been keeping up, what is the release slate for PS4?

Xbox isn't focused on Entertainment, it's 50/50.

I updated my post. I stated that with the PS4 UI it really does seem absolutely game focuses while the Xbox One UI seems to throw everything at the fore front.

 

As for announced titles, since I would NEVER discount Indie (I love Indie titles. Shoot me, I play a lot of PC) this is what we have.

 

 

Yes, I know this comes from a seemingly PS4 favoring site, but this has been posted in many different styles. The PS4 overall has more titles announced across 3rd party, 1st party, Indie, etc... It truly is almost entirely gaming focused. 

Don't take this as me saying one is 100% better than the other. I just agree with Boogie's accessment.

 

 

Edit - If you go by IGN, which does not include Uncharted or anything shown at the PS4 launch event as well as plenty of announced Indie titles, PS4 is still ahead.

He got it right. PS4 - Best gaming console period. Xbone - Gaming done pretty good with media/entertainment attached.

I can't read that it's too small. The indies will come out on Xbox One in floods (next spring onwards), Sony got their indie iniative done first obviously.

At the end of the day I would discount indies unless they're notable (Octodad, Limbo) stuff like that. So lets agree to disagree. I know which console is going to get the most attention gamewise next year though.



 

He is right.

You would discount Indies? Have you SEEN XBLA?!!! O_o

 

However, yes we can agree to disagree, but Boogie really isn't off at all in what he says in the video.

Yeah, 80% of it is rubbish, not to mention MS had XBLA and Indies, two seperate stores. The 'premium' indie stuff made it into XBLA, the indie store was ... just utter shite.



 

I agree with what the OP video says but there are a few points he doesn't exactly mention...

- Many of the XB1 features are also on PS4 (netlix, browsing etc). Those features are not as comprehensive as XB1, but most of them are there. It's just that they are not as integrated as XB1. So the "sacrifice" is much smaller than it seems.

- On the other hand, most of those extra features on XB1 are behind a pay-wall, while completely free on PS4. So, for all those, somewhat more & better integrated features, not only do you have to pay $100 more upfront but you have to continue paying for the online service, otherwise the machine automatically becomes less usable than PS4 (even though you paid $100 more!)

- You can also get more of those features on PS4 with the PS Camera. Although it is not as complete and as well integrated as Kinect, it is cheaper ($60 vs $100), it is voluntary, it does not require to buy on day 1 and pay up front, it doesn't have the same privacy concerns. So overall, it's actually a better choice for most people.

- Finally, as he suggested, PS4 has a much better and more future-proof gaming hardware, which is the most crucial point.

- And a bonus reason, many people are obviously turned off by Microsoft policies and are concerned with the XB1 used as a trojan horse to consolidate and extend their Windows Hegemony on Desktops.

guess having more games, more exclusives in development, stronger hardware, better Ram for game development, better indie support doesnt qualify as being more gaming centric.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I like crappy games. As long as they are priced right of course.

I watched it, he seems pretty honest.
