Xbox 1 or PS4?

[Senkile]

Ps4 would be my personal choice. It's smaller and has games I like. Simple as that. The only other system I'd get it a Wiiu because of Zelda and Xenoblade.

To settle the whole "backwards compatibility" thing, you would need to buy a whole new Xbox One to get backwards compatibility. The disc drives on the ones made before it was announced will not have the technology if you haven't already figured out by sticking your Halo 4 copy into an Xbox One.


I own a PS4 and I love it dearly, so I would say get the PS4. Also for online services, they are both the same. Paid subscriptions with some crappy servers, but that doesn't mean both online services "suck". PS4 also doesn't shove the "All in one family console" gimmick that Xbox does. But they do that with Playstation Now and Vue. I bet they're good services but I got too many other paid subscriptions.


I could go on about the PS4 vs. Xbox One war but I'll stop here.

I normally don't like posting in these topics but I have one post left for my 10 posts in 24 hours timer so might as well. I prefer the ps4, I've enjoyed Sony's games since the ps1 and nothing in the Xbox's library interested me.

I'm a huge Sony fan, so the PS4 has got my vote. While I do miss the Halo franchise, I think the exclusives for the PS in general are more my niche compared to that of Xbox.


In the end, I think it's personal preference and what games you'd prefer more. Except for the exclusives (each console has their own), other titles generally overlap with regards to being released for both consoles.

Pc. Because I can get most games with better graphics~

It's difficult to recommend XB1 at all over PS4, doubly so if you have a gaming PC already. I guess if you really like Halo but that's about it.


Games I would have considered purchasing Microsoft's system for;


- D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die


- Killer Instinct


- Super Time Force


- Quantum Break


all of which have gone multiplatform or ended up on the Windows 10 store. Shrug. So it basically amounts to playing primarily on PC and using PS4 for family exclusives/console exclusives (Persona, Uncharted, Nier) or timed exclusives (GGXrd Revelator, very likely FFXV).

 

[CheesePlant]

I got an Xbone mainly due to exclusives. Quantum Break has been great and I'm eagerly awaiting Scalebound. PS4 has Bloodborne but the rest don't really appeal to me. The Order looked pretty but didn't seem like much of a game though I have to say, Persona 5's gonna be on my list when I can borrow a friends console. Other than that, I buy what I want to buy. So long as the game works, that's all I need.


Also PC-master racer's have disposable income which means they can shell out hundreds for components that let them achieve amazing visual clarity only to go and play 10+ year-old games.

Any money spent on gaming is "disposable income", really. Crazy hardware enthusiasts aside though it's pretty easy to build machines of the same strength as a console counterpart for around the same budget and I feel you get a bit more time out of them (save for last generation which was unusually long). Backwards compatibility is never really an issue which is nice as well, was playing some old MS-DOS games for kicks a few days back.


On the subject of system support/life span I gotta say, all this talk of PS4k worries me. If companies want to push their hardware to be more in line with gaming PCs than cool. Better performance. Big plus. Kinda blurs the line between new systems though, and I see it going one of two ways.


1) Games are locked behind specific models of PS/Xbox systems more often.


or


2) Upgrades are minimal and similar to the New Nintendo 3DS (one game only for that system, improvements on three iirc). Which raises the question of why one should even bother.


Curious to see how it plays out, because if it's a worst case scenario I may just have to duck out of console gaming entirely depending on what Nintendo is doing with the NX. Refuse to continually upgrade multiple platforms. Not made of money.

I think as a system both of them have their ups and downs and are pretty good. I just have always been a Sony fanboy so PS4 is what I got first. Hopefully one day I will own all the consoles again. Just gotta get that pesky XB1

 

[TeaMMatE11]

PS4. If you haven't already, play Naughty Dog titles such as the Uncharted series and Last of Us. Uncharted 4 is one reason why I got a PS4. I don't regret it at all.

Ps4

 

[Oblitus]

Personally I feel that the two consoles are pretty similar in most parts, but I like PS4 more so than Xbox. PS4 has ever so slightly superior hardware, better exclusive games, a nicer controller and I just enjoy the look and feel of the console. Honestly the two are very close and I would chalk up the difference to available games and if you have people you want to play with on either console.

I have a PS3 and PS4, My father has an xbox 360 but the controllers are too big for my tiny child-hands Plus PS4 seems more powerful and I like the PS4 exclusive games better than xbox one

 

[Delzmore]

I wanna PC so i can strictly just play games ;_;

 

[Volarit]

After the PS2 I've exclusively used Xbox consoles, recently bought an Xbox one!


I know nothing else!

 

[ghost of past]

BRUH, BRUH. XBOX1 BRUH. WE GET DEADRISING BRUH.

I have to say PS4, I may be slightly biased as I've grown up with playstation and have a few minor disagreements with Microsoft, but having played on an xbox 360 I much rather playstation in general. (Although I can't say anything about the Xbox 1). But playstation started before xbox, ad quite a few of the ideas for xbox actually came from Playstations (For example, Kinect was inspired by Playstation's eyetoy). But in the end it's up to you! (I still think playstation's better though ( ) )


Also, definitely up for the whole group idea!


I wish you luck in your decision, may force be with you!
