 you fail to realis it doesn't matter to me as i own them both nd will get to experience both side exclusives.  but to say one is light years superior is wrong and sad in my opinion.


I'm not failing at anything. It's you who doesn't understand why people act the way they do and it's because you don't understand that most people don't want to spend $1000 up front to buy two consoles that share 90-95% of their games. They just want to pick one and spend the rest of that money on games. You are the minority. Now, when people see that PS4 offers noticably better hardware (you are the one who said "light years superior", so don't imply as if I said anything like that) in a smaller box and for a better price, they buy the better product. They know the games look better, will look better in the future, Sony's 1st party support has been superior in the past and right now WD was released with extra content on PS4 - why would they pick an XO at this point? PS4 gives them better value for money (objectively undeniable) and the majority of people choose it. People like the feeling of making the right purchase and getting the most out of their money, we are that way and Sony is the way to go if you want the most. If you personally don't mind getting less bang for your buck - you are free to buy the XO version. It's very good as well, just not as good as the PS4 version. The experience is very good, but more expensive and not quite as good as on PS4. It may not bother you, but don't act surprised that the average consumer chooses the better product.

MS really has to nail it in the next hour, I expect them to give us a lot of bullshots and Halo 2-like trailers just to steal the show from PS4, but they are pretty much forced to do it. If they don't win very, very significantly, the generation is over for them and all that is left for them is competing with Wii U.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

The video comparison here proves everything. It's really easy to notice the boost that higher resolution gives, the game looks much more smooth on the PS4. Also the post-processed shadows kill colours in some cases on the XO, while the colours are clearly visible on the PS4. Both versions look good, but one looks better and you really have to try hard to convince yourself that you can't see it. No way around it.

 

BTW. Are you excited abotu the conference? :D

I don't see how anyone can say X1 has more exclusives than PS4 atm. X1 only has Forza 5 and Ryse while PS4 has KZ: SF, ISS and Knack.


you are forgetting killer instinct and titanfall( console exclusive)

KI isn't a retail game and TF can be played on a 360.

But if you wish to include them might as well include Warframe, DCUO, Blacklight: Retribution and FF XIV: ARR in the PS4 exclusives list.


Titanfall is a console exclusive to MS console so it counts. KI is not an indie game .. its a full price exclusive fighter on xbox one  taht is sold digitally. Well i think it was nickle who said this. Apology in advance if i get the user name wrong. But i was told that any game released on steam will be available on steam console which is a console which will get all games in the steam library. In your case the games you have mentioned are all available on steam therefore not exclusive to sony consoles. I was going to put DR3 but that game is comng out on steam and was told that it doesn't as an exclusive anymore.

In that case, as I already stated above, the PS4 has 4 more console exclusives. It also has more retail exclusives. So it does have more exclusives.

Now what appeals to you and what does not is entirely your choice. But numbers don't lie. X1 has 4 exclusives, PS4 has 7 exclusives. As for my taste PS4 also has by far the best exclusive among the three consoles which is ISS.

Dane! Dane! Dane! I've been following your comments and with each comment I think "WTF are you talking about".

OK we get it, you love your X1. But come on man. You try to list exclusive games as fact but when somebody challenges you, you revert back to opinion by saying things like "But I don't like KZ as much as TF", "But I don't like Indies".

What is it to be? Are you going to state opinions or facts? Stop stating you like every game released on X1 but don't want to recognise PS4 games because "you don't like them"

Talking about facts, Dead Rising 3 isn't a 1st party exclusive, Titanfall isn't a 1st party exclusive, Ryse isn't a 1st party exclusive. They are all made by 3rd party developers. And out of all those MS only own the Ryse IP which btw isn't a AAA game. Maybe a AAA budget but not a AAA game, Metacritic proves that.

Then you go on about E3, like MS is going to have the Mega Awesome E3 and Sony is just going to stand there and do nothing with their chins hitting the floor in awe of MS. Their Not!

And what is it about Indies you do not like? Some of the best games are Indie. Why should you not include all the indies coming to the PS4 just because you don't like them???

Talking about future, MS will have to sell alot more console to aquire and support studios because at this rate they are heading for a smaller console base than last gen which will mean downsizing. MS, despite what a lot of people think, aren't prepared to throw money at something unless they get profit back for the future. Right now they will have to seriously think what their next steps are.

Sony will produce a steady steam of exclusives. KZ and I:SS already out. Driveclub and The Order in the near future and Naughty Dog have Uncharted 4 and a second project to announce. Plus GG are working on an open world game. Santa Monica also have to make their move, maybe GOW4. And lets not forget that Media Molecule are working on something.

So you see this is what people are trying to tell you, the facts. Sony have games OUT NOW, they HAVE the better multiplats, they HAVE a diverse range of indies, F2P, multiplats and Exclusives. EVEN IF you don't like them, that's your OPINION. Sony have a lot of AAA "budget" games coming. 

These isn't to say MS don't have games coming because they do. Quantum Break looks good and even though I'm not keen on GoW or Halo I can recognise those as huge games. Massive infact.

i admitted i made mistake when listing exclusives when i included Max curse brotherhood. forgot it was indie. i did correct myself there. I don't count indies as proper games which seems to be the dominant amount on the ps4 .  I did acknowledge ps4 games. i  did say i enjoyed ISS as that was the last big blockbuster game i played that was exclusive to PS4. i just have personal preference when came to Titanfall and KZ. i enjoyed KZ which i stated in the quote tree but if i had a choice,, i would gladly pick Titanfall over KZ  due to how smooth the movement and shooting feels in titanfall. Theres nothing wrong with that.

In that case based on your logic both KZ SF and knack  are not  AAA game based on metecritic despite having a  AAA budget . Both games on Metacritic are in the yellow zone . Firstly  about E3, i am basing it on what phil said . he said that they have jam packed e3 and that  he can't show everythign and that  announcements will made pre E3 and post E3 which he has done based on the recent reveals from MS. Whether or not MS will have megaton E3 , well thats left to be seen and we will all see in 5 hours time. I am sure sony will have decent E3 but based on the games they will show on E3 looks disappointing. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-announces-e3-schedule-will-have-70-games-at-its-booth/1100-6420159/ its mostly indies or multiplats .  hope the reveals on stage will be awesome.

 

you forgot to add knack in there as its already out based onwhat we know  the ones coming out this year is just MLB and driveclub. Its easy to name gams that don't even have release date . i can do that with MS ones as well. Same goes with Xbox. they would also have steady stream of exclusives coming out.  So far we have quantum theory, sunset overdrive, halo5 in the future, the rumored halo ultimate pack , D3 , the 3 japanese games and the one to be revealed at E3, you have blac tusk doing gears game, you have lionhead with the new fable, Crytek will for sure be making the next ryse game in the future, i am sure rare would another ip as well and the rumored third party exclusive which is yet to be announced that MS acquired( the rumor that has been going on).See i can do the same with MS games.  thats a fact.  I said in my opinion i disagree because to me indies are not proper games and in terms of exclusives that are out now,, there aren't many  especially on AAA exclusives. Sony would win by default based on just the amount of indies. remember PS4 has been given the name indiestation. i didn't make this name up. its out there on the internet if you don't beleive me. Theres  difference between coming in few years time and coming this year .  This year alone apart from ISS  theres nothing on AAA side that i wanted to get. was looking foward to teh order but that got delayed till 2015 . might give driveclub a try since its free on psn plus. i expected more from sony this gen which for me hs been proven to be disappointing, 

 

I just indies in general. not my type of games. for me it provides very littl replay valu and often they are broign to play and last 2-4 hours with a exception of few indies that do last beyond that.  Some of these indies are not cheap to buy especially if you live in NZ. the psn prices are ridiculous . I have seen some cost half a price of full priced game. Don't take it personal,, i am just biased towards it. If it wasn't for them being free on ps4 psn plus program,, i would have never bought them. To be fair  i did enjoy some,, such as braid, limbo, outlast and trine 2. those were cool indie games.

 

PS : PS2 had a install base close to 160 million whereas PS3 had an install base of 82 million. Thats at least 40 % decrease in install base. i don't beleive Xbox one one would lose tha much in install base. 


Not going to get into a battle with you. I said what I said. I'm not even trying to attack MS so you can list as many exclusive as you want. Please do not try to make this into an argument I'm don't care about. I'm just pointing out your dodgy logic.

I will point out some things you incorrectly said about my post.

I didn't say KZ, Knack or any PS4 game was AAA, that comes down to what opinion you have to what score you consider to be AAA. One I know for certain is that Ryse score of sixty-something isn't AAA.

You are correct about PS3 install base being smaller than PS2 and that's why you've seen Sony downsizing and dropping some studios.

This is a very ignorant statement but will not go into it. "don't count indies as proper games"

I never said you wern't entitled to your opinions, you are. If you prefer TF over KZ I don't care.

I never said MS wouldn't have a bad E3, I'm sure they will have a great E3 infact. They have to come out swinging.

I never said that MS aren't going to release other exclusives, they have some nice exclusives and are no doubt going to announce more at E3. But I will say do not expect to see Ryse 2.

Not sure what youre trying to say about Sony exclusives, you name loads then say "besides those then have no other exclusives".

When I mentioned PS4 exclusives that are surely in the works I didn't do that to attack MS. Just pointing out that Sony have a lot of great studios and big IPs.

You seem to think that I'm attacking MS and your opinions. What I claiming is that you shouldn't claim that Sony do not have exclusives as fact but try and back it up with opinions. Then also treat every game that MS is amazing but yet you find reasons to downplay Sony's.

You have an opinion and that's fine but dont go around stating that Sony have no exclusives when it's a clear lie.

I just realised that by typing that I'm continuing the argument but if I can't get through after this post then I'm out.

I didn't make it up. i was told that dead rising 3 is not an exclusive because its on steam and steam is making a steam console. Steam console console is a console and will have all of steam game library  .  However titanfall is on origin  but not on steam but its only available on MS console therefore in this case titanfall is a console exclusive. Sony ps4 won't be getting titanfall 1 but probably will get titanfall 2.  


So let me get this straight, you don't consider a lot of PS4 consoles exclusives because they're on PC but you are allowed to use Titanfall, available on PC, in you exclusive argument..... OK!

nope only if they are released on steam . according to a member on vgchartz posting in this thread,  he said games coming on steam will be on steam console which is a console therefore its no longer an exclusive. If its on pc but not on steam it still is a ps4 exclusive. tahst what i meant thanks to a member on vgchartz. 
Hence why i said titanfall is still a console exclusive to MS as its not on steam :)

That doesn't stop Watch Dogs from being an average game, boost or not.

Keep spreading the unwarranted hate, your opinion is not fact, average games don't sell 4 + million in days..Game is very good.


and your opinion isnt fact either, and lots of its sales came at launch before people could play the game, so dont bring its sales into how good the game is.   some people hate the game, some think its average, and some really like it.   my opinion sides with guiduc as its average. could even say its good, but in my opinion very good is a stretch.

Thanks for proving my point, you just described every game ever made, what cannot be denied is people want watchdogs.

People want what companies make them want to have. Simple thing called marketing.

My post wasn't intended to start a flamewar. You just proved my point about how derailled this topic has become. Watch_Dogs did sell better on PS4 because people want a PS4 more than a Xbox One. Heck, some even thought Watch_Dogs was exclusive to the PS4 due to the amount of PS4-exclusive marketing and PR the game got. The math is pretty simple to do, how can even in the first place the OP thought the numbers shouldn't be like that?



Told you all: pretend exclusivity is real.

Sony totally made a true multiplat sell like only PS had it. 



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

In what way "Steam Machines" are more "consoles" than any other PC with Windows, Linux or MacOS you connect to a TV?

There will be hundreds of configurations, there aren't fixed specs games will be optimized to. They are just pre-built PCs with a DirectX-incompatible OS, a gamepad-friendly GUI and a minor game selection.
