Ps4 or Xbox One

[Arcanen]

Hello all,

I'm getting one of the next gen consoles today and I don't know which one to pick. I would rather have the play station console, but the Xbox one controller. When I played the Ps4 at my friends house his analog sticks were slippery, it wasn't just his also apparently.

So what did you choose and why?


[Mod note: please feel free to outline the pros and cons of each and provide other considerations, but do not turn this into a console vs console or a pc vs console debate. It's not allowed on MMO-C. Thanks.]

I'll probably get both at some point, but for now have the Xbox One, due to that is what my friends have. I also prefer the Xbox controller.

Look at the exclusives and decide which ones appeal to you more. There really isn't much in it in terms of hardware and performance. On Advanced Warfare the two consoles look almost exactly the same apart from slightly different levels of contrast on the Xbone. If you play FIFA then it's a no brainer to get Xbox One.

WHat do you mean his analog sticks were slippery??

The potential for a lot of HD remakes of old PS1/2/3 games on the PS4, many of which are games that I love, push me to the PS4. It depends on what games you like better.

I totally do not see this thread going the wrong way. PS4 vs Xbone are always so civilized. ^^

(PS4 totally btw. Last of Us is worth it alone. And The order. And Uncharted) Yes.

Depends entirely on what games you want to play. Personally i have both because of JRPG's that will never get released on PC and the xbox to play halo multiplayer.

Go to both of these and see what catches your attention the most.

Considering all the controversies at the One reveal, I'd never buy one. No pun.
Both 360 and One feels like nothing but cheap alternatives to PCs since you can pretty much get the entire library* on the PC anyway. PlayStation gets the asian gems if you enjoy those, since they rarely get a PC port.

*No I have not done extensive research on this.

I would prefer the Xbox one but there is really no right answer. Both offer really good games and they are solid consoles. like people have said above, its basically what exclusives you are interested in.

at the moment, it seems Xbox one has better exclusives IMO.

ps4 is hands down just the superior device in terms of hardware

your choice however boils down to individual preference. gaming device vs. home entertainment rig



id like to have the ps4 gaming device but lack them moneyz. if someone has too much money left feel free to donate it for a good cause

It doesn't, now does it? Most of the "exclusives" are shared with the PC. How "exclusive" is that?

[Stevegasm]

Depends. If you plan to only ever get just one, PS4. If you plan on getting both, everywhere I'm seeing is that the XB1 has the stronger exclusives at the moment. Me? I wouldn't go either at all this generation. If you have a strong enough PC, that's the way to go. But my favourite console this generation is the Wii U by far.

[Faldric]

It typically comes down to:
What exclusives do you want to play? and What are your friends playing?

The second question is the more important one. The games lineup is not really that different.

You still can't play them on PS4 plus if you prefer to play them on a console you can only play it on X1.

[A Chozo]

From those choices, I would choose the PS4...

...But the best next-gem combo is a PC + a Wii U. The PC, for all of those regular AAA games, rare finds and the common stuff that usually also goes to the consoles, and a Wii U for the exclusive, high-quality games (Bayonetta 1 + 2, Super Smash Bros, and the other classics like Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc).

think the first ps4 (and they may still have this prob) had a real crappy rubber on the joystick pads that would wear off so that is probably what he was talking about

anyway unless you want an "entertainment system" choose the more powerful console ran by a company that has GAMERS in mind-ps4
seriously tho its sad how sorry MS has been through marketing and their pre launch snafu they are in a stage of desperation with the console atm if if you disagree with that then sorry but ye be a fanboy
sony has gotten better over time that cannot be argued against

Despite the awful, awful launch I recently bought an xbox one and couldn't be happier.

They've been patching it nonstop since launch, and it has much better multimedia and streaming functions than the ps4 now.

A lot of it is personal preference. Xbox controllers are far superior to me. The kinnect is fantastic for managing personal profiles if you have multiple gamers in the same house,

Xbox exclusives appeal to me far more, Forza 5 / Horizon > Gran Turismo series now, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, and Halo Master Chief Collection are great titles PS4 can't compete with in the next year. Below looks like a must have indie title too.

[endersblade]

Depends on your game style and taste. I am not really a fanboy of either console, I will be getting both at some point. Most likely xbone first because my roomy and I want to play through the halo series.

Just like with last generation consoles I got both the Xbox One and PS4.

I have to admit that they are mostly collecting dust lately so I might give one (or both) away to kids in the family.

[Korgoth]

I bought both. Now since the Xbox One is on sale for a limited time Id argue you buy it now, then grab a PS4 later on.

[Kuthe]

PS4 due to the exclusives for me. Also I've always had a PS1/2/3 console growing up, so as I needed a console for future console only games (Kingdom Hearts 3, etc) I prefer the PS controller and system over XB, therefore I chose PS4.

Neither console is that superior to the other, I hate the stupid fights that happen all the time.
Both consoles have great exclusives (god I hate exclusives) so it just comes down to preference of the controller and system.

Both consoles have started absolutely pitiful this generation, mainly due to companies deciding to keep games available for the past generation, and therefore reducing the necessity for gamers to buy the current gen (XB1/PS4 is current gen, I don't care what any stupid gaming site says. They are CURRENTly out). So there isn't a rush on games to be available for the consoles yet.


I'm quite glad I've just bought all the components for a great new PC so I won't need to buy any non-console exclusives on that to run them 10x better, and for a cheaper price.
