and for all the people in here telling my I'm wrong for saying that people don't buy consoles anymore just to play games... please remember you said that when you're sitting on whatever console you chose to buy doing something other than playing a game.

I know you'll be doing that.
and you know you'll be doing that.

Seriously, why even argue the point.

360 brought it to play games.

Ps3 brought it to play games.

Ps4 brought it to play games.

DS brought it to play games.

PSVita brought it to play games.

3DS brought it to play games.

Smart phone brought it to text and make phone calls?

I'm a gamer I buy consoles for GAMES! NOTHING ELSE! everything else is EXTRA! and a nice add on but not a deciding factor. I dont care if my PS4 can cook me toast and my xbone can make me dinner I only want them for GAMES.

Yes im an asshole sue me

You're the first person I've seen on this site correct someone's grammar. I pray this is the last time you do it though :) as they're the most annoying people on the internet lol If you understood it enough to correct it then understood it enough to read it that's how I see it.


I saw the wrong word so many times though. Why'd you get so defensive? I'd rather correct you than let you be wrong like that. I'll heed your prayer but I won't make any promises

Its official, people don't buy xbone to play games, instead they do it to snap on facebook, and watch football. A feature that is already in smart TVs a long time ago. Its called Picture in Picture.

I'm sorry.. I'm still waiting for you to show me where I said that people don't buy a game console first and foremost to play games.... where'd you read that again? 
I can't seem to find it anywhere!!
Silly me... always losing stuff.

Here, let me help you.

Your statment: "No one buys a console anymore 'just to play' games."

My response: "People to this day buy Megadrives, Nes, Snes, Gameboys, Saturns, PS2s, PS1s and so on frequently on ebay, all these systems can do is play games, so there goes your statement."

Clearly, people DO buy a games console "JUST" for games, even today.

And again, feel free to prove your naysayers wrong and provide them with the PSN and XBL id for the accounts used, so they can confirm your play time / claims for themselves.

dude.. the OP's about the new consoles, or didn't you get that from the title where I go, 
'Impressed by the PS4... Blown away by the X1'
you see Freq, what I was actually talking about ( I really feel like I need to explain this to you ) were the deciding factors one can count on when purchasing either the PS4, or the Xbox 1, which sorta lead back to my title where I go,
'Impressed by the PS4... Blown away by the X1'
Both machines play some pretty amazing games and additionaly, both machines have some really cool ancillary features that help them stand out from one another, which is why I decided to title my post like this and go, 
'Impressed by the PS4... Blown away by the X1'

you see Freq, it's a post about the PS4 and the X1. 
it really is.

Actually that's exactly what I buy a console for

I can't wait to play Killer Instinct on the XBox One!!!

Well, then come on over!

We can fire up the 52" and get some combos going.  Although, you really should teach me how to play.  I never played it before.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Gamers buy consoles "just" to play games, I bought all my systems for that reason. Never used PS3 for Blu-Ray, or 360/PS2 for DVD or even PS1 for CD player functions. Heck my 360 isn't even plugged into the internet. Why are you buying a Video game console if you're not interested in the games?

If I wanted to check my facebook, I'd just use a laptop, I can't give up any of my screen for that.

I don't even have cable, so what good is an XBO for me?

As a gamer, I plan to get a WiiU/PS4 - Just for games. I have a PC which can play most of XBO's games, and I'll likely buy an XBO if they make a Kinect free model, at the end of the generation, for the small handful of exclusives not available on PC.

Also WiiU wins with innovation. Not only are WiiU games completly different from the generic games you get on PS4/XBO, but WiiU was the first one to come to the market with the TV/Cable interface. Plus on Wii U, you can check the scores on the gamepad, but still play on the screen.

PS4 wins the graphics wars, Nintendo wins Innovation, MS win.....the fanboys?

---

Plus I hear the NSA/FBA can still obtain Kinect camera information, even with the system off..... I don't want Kinect.

hmm. so you don't have cable and see no use for the XBO because of that... but you plan on buying a WiiU and really seemed happy about the fact that it was the first console to market with a TV/Cable interface. 
but you don't have cable right?... so just like the useless XBO, what good is the WiiU going to be..??

you know, if you're gonna rag on something, at the very least be fair about it. 
and that's really the definition of fanboy, not what company you choose to support, but the inability to look past your own personal bias and convey a constructive, reasonably impartial opinion about the company you didn't choose.  and I stress 'reasonably'

I was pretty much with you until I hit the MS wins the fanboys comment. That's about the most rediculous thing I've read in my post here.. have you actually taken the time to read some of the comments directed at me, simply for liking the X1 better. A lot of them are pretty pathetic, rude, derogatory... dismissive, all from Sony fans that, for whatever sad reason, can't handle the fact that some people don't see Sony as the 'only' player.  

In my few years here on VGChartz I've come to see that Microsoft has plenty fans, Nintendo has plenty fans... and Sony, well Sony has an absolute motherload fan-boys.
All the more reason to go the other way. 

I'm only pointing out that if you think XBO is innovative for having the same cable features WiiU has, but a year later....then your arguement is flawed. I'm buying a WiiU for the games, so far it has the most highly rated games, and I like the lineup for 2014 the most.

What's your point about fanboys? I used that as a 1 liner because I can't think of anything the XBO is good for that the WiiU/PS4 or PC don't have. Like I said PS4 has the graphics (unless you count PC, but PS4 will have more exclusives then PC), WiiU has the innovation (be it less then Nintendo has previously given us, but still something), and MS has what? Halo? Ads on the User Inferface? Steamless switching between expensive services which outweigh the cost of the system significantly?

Perhaps you should study english, then.

"No one buys a console anymore 'just to play' games."

While the topic may well be about the PS4 and Xbox One, this statement is a general, sweeping statement about ALL gamers, and the lack of specifics beyond "console" leaves said statement open to ALL consoles, the use of the word "anymore" both liberates the statement from the confines of topic based context and further illustrates the generalization of your statement, while including past consoles, for if we switch "console" with "ps4/xbox one", you get "no one buys a ps4/xbox one anymore 'just to play' games", it makes little sense as the use of anymore suggests that there has been a long standing availability of the hardware.

But again, even if you correct your statement to the following;

"No one buys a PS4 or Xbox One 'just to play' games."

To which you are essentially claiming was your intended point, you would still be wrong. While you may not want to accept it, there are thousands of people buying PS4 and Xbox One, who are doing so JUST for games, many of these people who do not have internet access, to whome social networking features and web browsing becomes useless, as such they buy the console simply for the games that run on it.

And for the third, and final time, and I will openly say I believe you to be delibrately skipping this section of each post because you're straight up lying.

"feel free to prove your naysayers wrong and provide them with the PSN and XBL id for the accounts used, so they can confirm your play time / claims for themselves."

Beyond that, I won't be responding to you in this topic any further because It is clear to me and most of the other commenters in this topic that you are either lying, or particularly biased and essentially ignoring reality to suit your argument.
