Because it's the superior console.
Deal with it.

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?


You are right.  There is no 2 years.  They are gimping releases right now.  The multi plats already don't all achieve 1080p/60fps.  So, when next years versions come out, they will have to be gimped to reach 1080p/60fps.  How could you think otherwise?


You do realize you're writing about a problem the XB1 has, yet trying to say the PS4 has it which makes PS4 bad right?  As I said before do you want to make up a bet about your statement or should I?

I own both because I like the TV integration on X1.  Ryse was an absolutely terrible game that I wish I hadn't spent the time to playthrough even once.  Forza isn't as fun as NFS Rivals.  If you think X1 is better hey that's fine, but in 7 years if you never played PS4 we will see who played the better games and had the better experience.  Even die hard 360 fans admit PS3 exclusives completely destroy MS.  Graphics and gameplay quality.  The only people who disagree with this don't own Sony products.  The only thing 360 ever had that I loved that Sony didn't, was Halo and Trials.  Those were great games.  Even the online services are the same now on last gen systems as PSN vastly improved over the last 2 years of PS3's life.  Online services on this new gen...Unless MS is somehow going to make the CLOUD promise come true, will be exactly the same.  Oh yeah Virtual server clusters are not the same thing as "300,000 dedicated server cloud".  10K hosts with 30K VM's is not going to do what was promised, but hey if MS can pull it off, awesome.  That could be the one and only thing that make it a better console.  But one could even speculate that this offloaded processing power would simply attempt to maybe close the gap that is already existing due to the PS4's better, cheaper hardware.

Of course the XB1 has the problem already.  My point is that both systems will have it.  So, people buying the PS4 now because the "PS4 gets 1080p/60fps", are being short sighted.  Do I think this is a big deal?  No, we all knew this was probable before the systems launched.  I don't worry about it and it won't affect my console purchases.

I have the XB1 and the WiiU so far.  I will get the PS4 at some point, as I always get all of the consoles.  I have had basically every console for the last 25 years, with the exception of the Dreamcast(it dissapeared before I got to it).

Not sure what you keep asking to bet about.  You don't seem to disagree with me.  As far as debating the quality of games, I don't bother.  Because I too have all of the last gen consoles, I get whatever game that I want regardless of which system it is for.



It is near the end of the end....

lol "paid". Yes, by their non-MS employer. Glad we got that straight.I see nothing lol worthy about the next big name PS4 game getting less attention.

Until it is actually true, I will always argue that PR ppl like you say that PS4 has better games. It doesn't, not right now anyway. You have a meh FPS among COD and BF4 compared to FM5 and DR3. Not talking indie games but AAA games offcourse.

You can have your opinion, but that's all it is. PS4 has better games.  KZ is better than any MS exclusive at the moment.  Every multiplat is better on the PS4.  For me, Infamous > Titanfall (Can't stand shooters).  So it's no contest.  And obviously a lot more people agree with me.

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

It is selling because it is the better product.  Your tears are delicious!

Except X1 has a better opening library and actually has a buzzworthy next gen game in March.

I really don't mind losing if MS is actually trying (and succeeding) on the games front.

You're lying. If you didnt care you wouldnt be in here posting nonsense.

And library is completly subjective, seems most dont agree with you.

It has no gaeeeeeeeeeeeemmzzzz! 

i got fired recently from an electronic company (hooray?)  and durin the last days all I got was "PS4 PS4 PS4 PS4 PS4 PS4" , like people would sell both their nuts for it, and it goes out of stock so fast, it doesn't even have games , its pricey and there probably going to be a better slimmer version by the time they release good stuff on it.

but for goodness sake, why is PS4 so great and others are so poo poo? , its so ....... lame, as a console. I'd take a Vita, 3DSXL or Wii U over it. (Xbone is even lamer if that is even possible)

I think you must not like games much.  

I have 13 games for the PS4.  I just traded my PS3 version of Tomb Raider to replay it on PS4.

- Infamous and Shinobi out next week.
- Thief is out in two weeks.
- Ground Zeros in 4~5 weeks.
- Followed soon by Driveclub.

I'll probably get all of them.  And then we'll have more games announced at E3.

Seriously you must not like games very much if you think it has to be created by Jesus himself to like it.



My 8th gen collection

In my country people are more interested in the XboxOne and 3DS right now. There´s not such hype here around the PS4.
But there´s a good reason for that: its sophisticated USD $ 1800 price tag.

Sony are just very fortunate that MS and Nintendo went full retard. Guess none of their employees saw Tropic Thunder to warn their management.

I agree, just like Nintendo and MS were very fortunate that Sony went full retard last gen.
