Most of my friends have PS4s, but there are a lot (not the majority, but a lot) that also own Xbox Ones. Being a college student, I see a variety of people with different preferences.

It was only after reading this that I realised I haven't seen an Xbox One in real life either, although I've seen plenty of PS4's too.

To the original poster, a lot of the dudes saying all their frieds have only PS4s in here are European. That would be expected.

It a matter of taste and thats always going to be different. Last Gen I owned both Xbox 360 and PS3 and mostly played the Xbox 360 because of the exclusives like Halo, Gears, Fable, Alan Wake and Forza. I tried just about all of PS3 exclusives and just could not get into them.

Xbox One has won 2014 in my house because I have played it more and for the rest of the year its not even a contest. Foraz Horizon 2, Ori And The Blind Forst, Project Spark, Killer Instinct Season 2, Fable Legends Beta, Sunset Overdrive, Halo Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 Beta ( Yes,  Xbox One players will be playing Halo 5 in 2014 ).

2015 and beyond for Xbox One I will be getting Fable Legends, Quantum Break, Halo 5 Guardians, Phantom Dust ( Huge Fan of the original on Xbox ), Gears Of War, Crackdown and Scalebound if that game turns out good.  This gen for PS4 I currently own Killzone and Infamous and hardly even play them. Next year for PS4 I see Blood Borne and The Order that I will be buying but I dont see anyting else thats so far been announced. I got the PS4 mainly for JRPGs and thats pretty much all I am really looking for on that system.

I didnt rush at all I was at a store saw a PS4 for 312€ and just bought it. Even with its first price cut it will be at 349€ so it was almost a no-brainer.

I never mentioned the word RPG at all. I just dont care about uberpatriotic shooters or ports or patches that are sold for 60 bucks and are called FIFA or whatever.  The only game out that I cannot play anywhere else I am semi-interested in is Infamous SS but thats not enough for me yet.
Tearaway also wont work for me because its a port of a game I already own.

TBH the 9th month is not really the start of a gen to me.

Then what do you want? There are sci-fi shooters, military shooters, platformers, sports, a giant amount of indie titles, adventure, etc. What exactly are you looking for because you have yet to mention it. If you don't want to, that's all good but I think me and a few others are fairly confused on what games constitute, in your opinion, a proper game worthy of opening your console.

Well gaming forums or internet =/= the world, where I live Xbox One hasn't even launched yet lol and there is very few people interested on it since PS3 dominated by a mile here even though it released a year after.

A lot of my friends haven't upgraded yet, but those that did got the PS4.

I know 3 people with XB1's besides myself and 4 people with PS4's. I have only played on the PS4 for a few hours total so far. But, IF I ever made that comment, it was probably in the context of people discussing if they know anybody with a XB1. So, it might not be relevant to say how many people I know that Have a PS4.
