This thread explain it very well :)
Some people cares more about the stats than the experience/gameplay... PS4 is more powerful on paper, so even if the games experience is the same Xbox One or if it has more games, a lot of people will go for the stats.



unfortunately, the game experience is not the same on the xbox one.. and is NOTICEBLY an INFERIOR experience..

and it is also 100 DOLLARS MORE for a camera.. when KINECT was not the main selling point of the XBOX 360, but microsoft wants to shove a motion camera down ppls throats like nintendo did with motion gaming.. 

if it were about the stats.. the ps4 would win.. if it were about the xperience or gameplay.. the ps4 would win.. and it's 100 dollars cheaper.. I actually don't understand why anyone would get an xbox over a ps4.. unless they are a huge microsoft/halo/gears fan.. otherwise.. every other game is also on ps4.. and better on ps4..

Some people are using their game system as more than just another more powerful game system(PS4).  They are using it for a media hub or because they have a number of other M$ products and like to have the unifed OS feeling.  Even though the Kinect is of no use to you, I use it regularly and find it to be just the opposite.  The only thing that the PS4 has on the XB1 is a minor power difference.  If you think that 1080p is the whole world, then the PS4 is good for now.  2 years from now, the only way the PS4 is still doing 1080p on new games is if the developers choose to gimp the games to achieve that.  So, PS4 owners will need to get used to it anyway too.  If the $100 is a reason, then you shouldn't be buying a next gen system at all. 


That statement about the 2 year 1080p game gimping is completely inaccurate, and I will accept some sort of VGChartz bet based around your statement.  You want to come up with it or shall I?


wht are you doing? you shouldn't cut into another mans potential bet. He answered Leo-J give him first opportunity lol.

I WOULD get a PS4, but the games released atm just doesn't cut it for me, they're all too boring.



It only has a few right now, but it's also getting the order, SS. there's also a ton of third party games, and indie exclusives.

It has no gaeeeeeeeeeeeemmzzzz! 

I get so tired of hearing this statement like it's a fact. It's not.

It has no EXCLUSIVE games that are a must-have, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Tomb Raider, LEGO Movie & Marvel, Outlast are all on other consoles or PC. Right now it has Killzone, Knack, Resogun, and Infamous in a couple of weeks. The rest is E3 announcement/Holiday 2014 releases

HAHAHAHA!  I honestly didnt even think about it, but it does kind of seem like I swooped in and stole that bet offer opportunity.  Now, we'll just have to see how this plays out.

@garland. Its a fact for some,, cause not everyone has to love indies games right? If you don't love indies then you are stuck with just killzone and knack. Furthermore if you don't liek indies and teh multiplats are not o fany interest ot taht person,, then for that person is no games. Same if teh person own sbboth consoels but teh resoultion and fps difference is not of concern for teh person then again taht person only have killzone and knack which is literally no games.

It just came out.  Name a console that had tons and tons of exclusives on its release day.

greatness awaits.................

seriously

way over the top hype.


For people who dont get this. Its not that difficult and hes not taking jabs at the PS4.

Hes saying that the advertising and general PR has been over the top. Its been great. Its worked.

And guys, dont take sly petty little digs at kow and/or Xbox. Its pathetic.


Thank you.  If I had posted the way those guys have I would be banned due to a flurry of reports.  3 posters at least deserve a warning/ban.  The personal attacks here by certain sections are becoming fucking ridiculous.  Just had to report a guy in another thread for exactly the same.

Not really Carl, thats an opinion on Sony's marketing message.. that hasnt got anything to do with the end user and why people are buying it. Carl believes that the console is hyped (OTT), many people would disagree... don't see a problem with that...regardless of the tag line, they got more on message than MS did (who royally screwed it up and more so than Nintendo did with the Wii-u). When you have one console not meeting the end users requirements, and the other meeting it, it's not difficult to see that the end user will gravitate towards the positive product that is more powerful and cheaper.

Some users use the tag line on forums etc, maybe to goad other console users, but who cares... that's not why they purchased the console. Of course there is hype to some extent, isnt there hype on all products...but its no wii hype. I saw many users being hyped by the XboxOne.. Ryse best looking console game, Knack is shit. None of that matters really. If the product meets the users needs and people want it, it generates hype. 

What is rubbish is that when Sony didnt have any bad news, how sites became anti sony just to have a "balanced" argument. It was like they were a bit worried they were slating MS too much (seen this from the press on the Wii-u at times). "Sony will have DRM", "Sony will have online activation".. "Sony has hardware problems"... lets not believe that the PR has all been one way. Let's not forget the whole resolution gate, how two companies provided the same game resolutions to two games at reviews (even though Sony had higher res on launch with Day 1 patch). Or how Sony got slated for a 2 day review event or not giving internet people a free console.

@kowenicki I personally don't think your original message/post actually made a good argument for or against the original post....it's like a hit and run... which never goes down well with VG users. I wouldnt worry too much about some fun banter..sometimes it goes a little too far, but on the whole its not that bad... seriously i've been on much worse forums, this place is pretty civil.

I would say maybe try not to post one/two liners, and engage with the topic (provide more detail on your reasons). I am sure even if people disagree with your comments, at least more reasoning makes it a more interesting topic.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

To be honest, i asked for one as a gift considering future releases, current games are ok for a launch window.



Sony finds themselves in the lucky position to be like Apple, where they are bought on name alone. The people think Sony cares about them and has their interests at heart, despite being even more desperate then MS to make a profit.

Its cheaper, it haz better graphicz, 1080 P, 60 FRAMES PER SECOND......yet doesn't have the library to back it up to X1 yet. Its ok though, the fans know it is coming. Sometime.

If only Sony had this loyal of a fanbase in its other business ventures, they wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of the universe lol



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