I played both and I say the Xbone won the launch because they kept Dead Rising from Sony and they have Killer Instinct. Those two games alone are just so much more fun than anything the PS4 launched with exclusively. Of course Sony will have the true hot exclusives soon enough and take over as they always do but I would be lying if I said I wasn't having fun with the Xbone right now.

Wow, suprized by this, but good for you S.T.A.G.E.  Glad you are having fun.  I almost chose that, but when with Ryse instead.  Really enjoying it.

The demo for Dead Rising 3 should be availible soon.   Will have to check it out.

Have you tried Sports Rivals Preseason yet?



 

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!

I agree with S.T.A.G.E to be honest, Killzone is great and all, but I've never been a huge fan of multiplayer so once the campaign was over there wasn't much left for me to do on PS4, exclusives wise - I'm currently playing through Black Flag on it, but obviously thats multi plat.

Currently DR3 is getting the most exclusive-playtime of both of the systems i own, mainly due to the very nature of the game, i would argue that the PS4's biggest problem is lacking an open world game you can pick up and play for any length of time just for fun, without going online or being tied down by strict storyboarding.

I do believe, as S.T.A.G.E does that in the next few years the PS4 will offer more in regards to exclusives, and indeed indies, and with that, the price, and the features in mind, I do believe it's the better console of the two, however, I am glad i picked up both consoles, because both have provided me with a lot of enjoyment thus far.

I usually buy game consoles to primarily play games. I guess I'm weird D:

You are, nobody just plays games anymore. You brag about them on facebook and twitter while watching somebody else's gameplay in upload studio or live stream.

i have never once bragged about games on facebook, that to me seems stupid, hell my firends and family dont give to shits what im playing or what i did in a virtual world, nor should they its just a game its not like i went out and got a gun ran to a warzone and started killing the opposing force in real life.  thats the kind of stuff i hate about social networks people feeling like the achieved something for doing it digitally, i play alot of madden i dont run to facebook and go i won the superbowl if i did my firends and family would laugh at me.  the only time i watch live stream anymore is to see a game i may want to see if it looks like it would interest me.  This may be a product of me being a 31 year old adult and not a 12 year old kid.  just how i feel about that subject.

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. 

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.

so you still don't get that the statement I made was about the PS4 and X1?
I mean seriously.. and I'm asking this of you as honestly as I can, no word tricks or semantic nonsense and I'm not trying to be a smarta@# here; 
you honestly didn't get that?
you really thought I was talking about every console ever sold?

The only reason I want to buy a PS4 is to play games

The only reason I want to buy a X1 is.... none really. I don't need to spend an extra 100 dollars on a weaker console to play Halo 5.

What! you too Frequency!

What is happening here.  People are enjoying their Xbox Ones?  What is this magic?  Clearly something unexpected is going on in the world.

Did you get a chance to try Ryse?

Did you get a chance to try Ryse?

I did, and honestly beyond the visuals i found it to be terribly boring after 20 minutes - I have completed it of course, but I wouldn't really call the experiece of doing so a great one, Ryse to me was a massive missed opportunity to do something tremendous, marred by rushing and lack of a solid vision beyond what is essentially a crytec tech demo, not too dissimilar to their Crysis franchise as of late. I Much prefer DR3.

With that said, If forum posters such as myself and S.T.A.G.E are willing to give "rival" consoles a try and enjoy them, I'd like to believe ardent xbox fans would do the same for the PlayStation 4 too.

@ frequency... you know that's kinda uncool frequency.... we went back and forth there for second and in my last response to you I was trying to be decent, not come across as arrogant or provoke more argument.
I just wanted to know if that was honestly what you thought,
that I was talking about all consoles and not just the ps4 and x1 specifically.

wasn't trying to be an ass.. you coulda answered me.

i agree, the ps4 is good, but its just boring. waiting 3 months to actually play a good game on it...no thanks


As though the games on X1 are any better. A baseless post especially when both consoles share majority of the games and with the PS4 version being the better version

Aside from the other useless rambling, this stands out enough to pretty much dig a hole, drag your post in to it, hit it over the head with a spade, bury your unconcious post alive, set fire to it's genitals and run down the street screaming "The aliens are coming".


sure frequency... you just keep believing whatever you say. 
I'll know better. 

(like all you've ever done is play games on your console. never watched a video, never watched a game trailer, never sent a friend a message, never voice chatted outside of a game... why do you people insist on lying)

and did you have to bring my post's genitalia into this. seriously, leave my post's genitalia out of your mouth!

Its posts like this that make me laugh at the sheer idiocy of some people. I primarily play games on console. This is true of my PS4 and was true of my PS3. Yes i might watch a Blu-Ray occasionlly on it or try some demos etc. Those are just added bonuses on top of it being a games machine. 98% of the time my console is used to PLAY GAMES. MS fanboys seem to think that voice and gesture control are amazing or being able to game and watch tv at the same time is innovitive but when in fact my TV allows these functions already. I can play a game and then bring a small window up to watch TV at the same time. I have voice and gesture control too and Skype as well. These new SMART tvs have all this and more. All new tvs will come with these functions as standard. 

The problem is the world has moved on and even smackheads have smartphones and tablets. Nobody wants to use a console on tv to use facebook when its so much easier to use the phone in your pocket or the tablet or PC in your house. Best thing is these functions aren't behind a PAYWALL!

The best feature i like is the HDMI in on the X1. Hey plug in your Sky box into the X1 to watch Sky TV. How amazing is that???? Will wonders never cease??? Only problem is you have to have both boxes on???? Your joking right???? Both??? ON??? What a waste of time and electricity! This really is very innovitive!!! So in the end you still need a Sky box so why do you need the X1????

I'm glas SONY concentrated on making the PS4 first and formost a games machine. The rest they can patch in! It does more than enough now and will get better with time but as a games machine it will always be more POWERFUL than the X1
