As said You should get whichever your friends play/games that appeal more to you. We have both here and OH likes PS4 but personally I always prefer Xbox. The games I like seem to get better treatment on Xbox; exclusivity, more/early access DLC, less bugs etc and I like the 4 free games with gold deal.

Not always true these days. Early on in the last gen maybe. Developers prioritise whatever is most popular and this gen that's ps4. Many ps games get more than Xbox now. For example in recent years the assassins creed games have had exclusive content only available on ps.

So you know the content of every game available and what the poster plays?
Well,good to see you are filling your time productively.

I simply take some notice of what is going on in gaming. Stating xbox gets all the exclusives like they used to is simply not true. I am not saying they dont get any. They got the latest tomb raider a year ahead of ps4 for example.

Oh and you get free games with ps+ also so that's not something exclusive to Xbox live gold members.

They stated things related to Xbox versus ps that weren't 100% true. And you don't need plenty of time to know some basic things. Reading game central online, watching video game nation and visiting games shops whenever you are in town is all you need to know basic things. I am not having a go at anyone by the way. I realise it could come across like that.

They said 'seem',in their opinion and I would assume in their experience.
However apparently you know better? Impressive.

Yeah, they gave their opinion based on what they know and I gave mine based on what I know. That's what usually happens in a forum.

Certain games will "offer" different things to different consoles, but what I'm going to say to that is it's never about popularity or "grunt" in the machine. Since they've been raised I'll pick on Ubisoft here, their series of games "Assassins Creed" have for a number of years now provided Playstation exclusive missions. It's not because the PS4's more "popular" or more "powerful" but because Sony paid for them - 100% marketing move. Similarly on Tuesday you'll notice that Xbox has made a similar move with another of Ubisoft's titles, only this time rather than extra missions it's getting content earlier. (Not to mention the £3 - or 10% - price difference in the season pass between XB1 & PS4.)

Sony & Microsoft make those moves based upon analysis & what they feel their market will be into. The thing is with the way gaming is today they can evaluate it at a level far beyond what an average joe could do. Think those "achievements" or "trophies" are just there to boost your ego? Platform holders can look at the percentage of players who've completed said milestones & plan their approach accordingly.
