XBOX ONE or PS4

theforumking

hey everyone... This christmas I am going to buy either an XBOX ONE or PS4...

Historically I am a Playstation fan but I am hearing great things about both consoles...

Any thoughts?

Unless there are console specific games or you have more friends with one particular console then I personally think that either console would be great, you certainly shouldn't be disappointed with either.

Personally I was a PS fan (for 1 & 2) but got converted when I got a 360, now I'd class myself as firmly in the Microsoft camp. The only reason I bought a PS3 was for GT5!

I don't buy into the whole console fan-boy thing, both have their strengths & weaknesses. The MSE answer is too go for the PS4 as it's definitely cheaper + seems to have the graphic advantage but the X1 has the Kinect included and IMO offers a better on-line experience. On paper it also offers the better multimedia experience so that could be a deciding factor as well.

Also I'm not a fan on the new PS controller (though I never liked the original - too light), the trackpad just seems an after thought.

The other point is size, the X1 is absolutely huge compared to the PS4 and it needs a seperate power brick whereas the PS4's is built-in.

Basically, PS4 is solely for gaming, Xbox is more of an entertainment centre.

I prefer PS4, because i only want to play games, rarely bother with motion sensor stuff and dont care about implementing TV onto my games console.

Also theres a large price difference, PS4 is £350, Xbox is £430.

Games actually look crisper and sharper on the PS4, as its slightly more powerful.

But yeah, also depends on your stance on Kinect, a lot of people think its a bit crap, some love it.

Look at the games that are out or due to come out (with definite release dates) on each console, check out reviews for these games and ask yourself do any of them take your fancy ?

based on what we know now ps4 is the way to go but that could have changed 12/18 months from now. in my opinion ps3 is far superior to the xbox 360. i cant say that when i compare the ps4 to the xbox one.

also as a note, I would think you may struggle to procure either for Christmas

As I have a huge friend list on Xbox one plus all my gamscores on an xbox . for me it will be the Xbox but depends on friends really.
Plus titanfalls at the minute is only being released on xbox .
But ps4 gets killzone.
So its really a choice of what u want rather then which is best.

There really isn't much actual difference between either system at this stage as the games look virtually identical on both. Decide on which exclusive games you think you would prefer. The xbox is dearer but it is designed to be more than just a console.


That said, you will probably really struggle to get either before Christmas as any stock coming in is likely to be straight back out the door.

i prefer PS4, not just im a Sony Console Collector. I believe that Jap Electronics are far more better and more durable compared to electronics made from US. And also Japanese game developers are really excellent and more creative when it comes to making its games.

A collector?
As in 4 consoles?
