It was inevitable really, but I think with every generation that goes on Microsoft gains a bigger userbase. Anyways, I think the X1 right now is a better value than the PS4, considering what's packed in the box.


Dude i own both and really it isent.  
As fun as talking to the bone to turn it on is, PS4 ruthlessly faster boot up and game loads are worth way more.  Bone is a fast mustang but Ps4 is a race spec Ferrari.

This gen you got some of the best devs in the world working exclusivly on the more powerfull easy to program console.  Ill tell you PS4 is gonna slaughter the bone once Sony first partys start dropping thier games.  

 

Well that just might turn out to be true but, so can the opposite - who knows. Right now, I think both are in the same boat in being consoles with almost nothing to play or show off their 'greatness'. There's only so much Killzone and Forza one man can play before he gets bored, and goes back to his PS360 - which I assume a lot of games are doing right now. So saying one is better than the other because it's faster is nonesence because RIGHT NOW, both seem equally matched. However, I think the X1 is built better, it just looks better, the UI looks better and i'm sure will get even better, even the HDMI cord and mic in the box are better, it comes with a camera,...it's just is a better value IMO, but that's just my opinion. One appears to be mainly a gaming console, while the other appears to be an entertainment console. So in that sense as well the X1 I think is a better value.

If the bone can totally get rid of me needing a box from my cable provider, and i can turn on and of my tv with it id say it can match the PS4 in some markets.

But can it do that ? i dont want a half assed entertainment console, i want one that takes over TV/Cablebox/remote

It never will, it is simply a HDMI pass through with post output processing, there is no signal input or tuner functionality, an external box will always be required.

i choose an xboxone over a ps4 (blind eyes), just look at that game quamtun or whatever it names that is revolutionary, and what is revolutionary on ps4? the answer to that question is: NOTHING, it is a PC from 4 year ago, the same input method with a little more power, the same controller, it is a sony console in all sense a playstation with more power nothing revolutionary, but there you have MS trying different things like TV integration a new input method and that new game quantun, did you see? my PC can not have that game because that is a unique feature only available on XBOXONE, but no matter how great a game looks on a ps4 my pc can do it more beautifull.

well the tings you do on the game, happen on the tv  serie and viceversa and a lot of more things, i think that is a revolution  to the way we are playing since 1980.

Better console : better support from first/third party + noticeably more powerful and $100 cheaper at the same time
This is the first time in console history such thing happens

sometimes we want to be blind, sometimes we want to ignore reality for whatever reason, but sometimes we just want to be jerks, whatever we do, it does not change reality.

I don't really understand what you mean. I will have to look it up and read more about it. I have seen it and it looks really good thoughso I will have to see more about the story.

Also sony was known for their great 1st party IP last gen.. You cannot even compare the 360 to the ps3 right now in terms of the amount of exclusive IP from first party.. Ps3 just got a new ractchet and gran turismo 6, while the 360 gets another yearly cod and ac, it is okay to expect similar support for this gen

Didn't the PS3 promise lots of exclusives, and push them back continually for the first 2 years of its life? Will we be expected that to go similarly as well? You can't compare 360 to the PS3 'right now'. But you couldn't compare PS3 to the 360 7 years ago. To assume that Sony is going to deliver on all it's promises and be better for the entire generation is to completely discount any aspect of history that you deem unfavorable.
