Will you be interested in other games from either system down the line? You have The Order: 1886 on PS4, if you're interested in that. If you've never played The Last of Us you'll be able to play the enhanced edition as well.

I'm unsure what exclusive titles will drop for the XBO later, but you should keep those in mind as well (E3 is around the corner too).

I'd also look at which consoles my friends are getting if I were you. Currently, out of my closest gaming friends, 9 have decided to go with the PS4 while 3 are going with the XBO and only 1 is going with the Wii U. That makes my decision pretty easy with respect to the PS4 since I tend to enjoy mp oriented games with my actual friends.

If you plan on getting both then get the one that suits your needs best between now and the next few months, and you could always get the other system later.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

The Xbone is one entertaining little bitch. Its a multitasking little whore. It sacrifices graphics for snapping. It gives up the pure power that could be used for gaming. But Damn, it's so fun doing more than one thing at one time. Just like having 2 or more girls at one time. I mean, I wouldn't know much about sex, because I'm a pathetic gaming nerd that visits VGChartz every 10 minutes, but I see a lot of porn. Anyways, you won't miss the graphics, if you're multitasking almost all the time, your game will be 3/4 of the screen anyways. So that's that, I'll toss that bone for the M$ side. But yeah, buy a PS4.. Sony4Life 1080P


I'm not sure what you are refering to exactly but the ps4 does that too. You can have the game on hold and use other apps and return whenever you want almost instantly.


No it doesn't. The Xbone game still plays on the left side, while the multitasking is on the right.


You mean it splits the screen? I dont think it doesnt, its just your concept of snapping wasnt very clear. The PS4 does that, it just doesnt show both on screen at the same time.



Neither, wait till the price drops and some more games that interest you come out.

Well whatever you decide to get, you'll enjoy it I think. You can't go wrong with either console and both have great games on the horizon.


I think the best games on the horizon are third party... Sunset Overdrive looks cool, but not neccessarily AAA must buy, and Quantam break / The Order look like they could be amazing, but SP only?  For me Watch_Dogs, Destiny, The Division, and Dying Light are the must buy games coming out soon. No exclusives are looking like must buys to me right now... However, h1z1 has really caught my eye!

True and fair point. I guess that means PS4 it is then

I'm a bit iffy on MMO's. There's something about having online only, and pay a subscription fee to play the game.


Hey man. Final Fantasy XIV: ARR is a MMORPG and is totally worth it! Get it on PS4, since it'll look better than playing it on a decent PC, and it might never come to MS if they stick to their closed online policy.

The subscription fee means that you're playing on SE own servers, you don't have to pay to unlock things, and it guarantees added content every 2-3 months. Think of it like a CoD map pack you pay for every few months, so you can't go wrong! PS Plus is not required so that means you can also enjoy EverQuest Next, Elder Scrolls Online, Planetside 2, Warframe, DC Universe Online, and Blacklight Retribution without needing PS Plus. And best of all they are free to play except for FFXIV, and ESO which is also good games.

There is also more free to play MMOs coming to PS4 like Guns of Icarus, but you get the point. PS4 has a lot of value.


I try to get into Final Fantasy, but I just can't get into it.

I say buy both if you can't decide.

Maybe X-Box is for you mate. I am lucky enough to have all 3 8th gen consoles and so far the PS4 games have
been lackluster. Titanfall feels truly next gen as does Super Mario 3D.
Happy gaming!

LOL Titanfall feels next gen to you? I love the game but really?

Well, how would you definie 'feeling next gen?'

Titanfall is on previous generation consoles - so I guess by definition it cannot be called next-gen.  But it does move gaming forward, it does innovate relative to previous gameplay available in shooters.

Other games on the Xbox One and PS4 haven't really done this.  So far its just worse versions of the same time of games from last gen, with better graphics.

What type of games are you primarily into?

If you are into stories, creative and reliable studios, characters and worlds with multiplayer on the side then Sony.

If you are into multiplayer shooters and basically games that are sure sellers (which end up being a handful), then Microsoft.

PS4 then, X1 will drop in price faster as it been doing so waiting to get it is of more benefit to you.  PS4 wont drop price any time soon, might as well buy now get PNS+ and enjoy the free games library.  Also on PS4 you will also get a bunch of ftp games so more gaming at no extra cost for you. 



Xbox one.
