Playstation now needs to pay for PSN so they can't use that as an argument for why PS4 is 'better' than Xbox. Xbox still gets all DLCs for CoD and now Battlefield before PS and Xbox has Halo as an exclusive. PS4 really doesn't have many big-name exclusives like Xbox does which gives Xbox the advantage. PS counters that by being reverse compatible, unlike the Xbox.
They're pretty even is specs. People complain about the authorization checks and the Kinect having to be connected with the Xbox but I see no problem with that, it's not a major hinderance of the system. The biggest downfall of the Xbox (the only spot where PS4 really shines over it) is the whole used games thing. That was a very bad choice by Microsoft.
Appearance wise, they both look very good. People complain that the Xbox looks like an old vcr but I really dig the look. it's really old school and since Microsoft was trying to make an all-in-one device, making look like a dvd player/vcr makes it fit that description a lot better. The PS4 looks more futuristic since its goal was to be nothing more than a game console.
The Xbox is horribly overpriced, i'll give that one to PS4.
Total points~
Xbox- 3 (Halo, DLCs, All-in One)
PS4- 4 (lower price, cheaper live, better look, used games)
The PS4 won that tally but not by much, both appear to be viable options. Either way, I'm switching to PC.

The "authorization checks" means if you aren't connected to the internet, the system itself will not work, not even single-player.

I've got time to wait everything out between the PS4 and XboX One, but there's one point between the three systems that'll settle the score: playing USED Games.
Part of my Game Boy, GBA, GameCube and Wii library consists of used games. And I'm happy there are stores out there who carry them, from the latest Wii U to the ancient Atari 2600, which allows me to enrich my collection of older discontinued games. I'm not a fan of emulation or the Virtual Console, I much prefer playing from the original medium.
I've heard some pretty bad things about the XboX One, to the point I'm getting a Big Brother vibe from that thing, and I hate that. I'm already not a fan of going online with my consoles, but having it constantly looking over my shoulder so to speak gives me unpleasant feelings. Putting restrictions on playing used games is kind of petty, I mean you already have your money! So count me out on that.
I'll await judgement on the PS4, maybe my wife will bite the bullet on that. Until then, the Wii U will have a reserved spot in my home whenever I decide to get it. It being able to play regular Wii games helps a lot

I don't know about you but I don't carry my console around with me. I leave it on the floor at home. Honestly, if you're going to buy a friggin Xbox to play offline you're just straight-up stupid. It was designed for multiplayer and interaction between people over the internet. It kind of needs an internet connection.
No it does not transmit what you do the government. How is it an invasion of privacy? Turn it to look at the wall when you're done playing, problem solved.
The Wii failed for my generation since nobody my age (15) gives a **** about Nintendo. Maybe you older people do since you most likely grew up with Nintendo, but I can't stand the Wii and in my eyes, if failed.

It's basically a fact. Since my generation, a generation in which basically nobody plays Wii, is dominant in the gaming society, the Wii U will not be anywhere near as successful as the PS4 or XB1.

Unless they've changed it, they charge $10 a month and you get full access to Live.

And if single player games didn't exist, you might have a point. And I'd start listing off hugely successful games that didn't feature multiplayer (Bioshock Infinite leaps to mind the quickest, so there you go; Arkham City and Skyrim followed close behind) but looking at your uh..."arguments" so far, you'd just brush them off in favor of uh..."games" like Call of Duty.
But boy oh boy, that's just "straight-up stupid" of me to enjoy those games for the rich single-player experience, huh? But yeah, go back to your Call of Duty: Rehashed Ops 5 or whatever.prowl123 wrote:No it does not transmit what you do the government.

By transmitting what you're doing to the US Government. I know this is a bit complicated for you, but try to keep up.prowl123 wrote:Turn it to look at the wall when you're done playing, problem solved.
Oh, brilliant idea! Genius! Oh wait, it's only working while I'm playing.

Your generation isn't the dividing line between success and failure, nor is your opinion of the console. Sales are, and Wii out-shined both of its competitors.prowl123 wrote:I'm **** done with this website.
It's not our fault you decided to fight the console wars by ignoring facts and replacing them with provable falsehoods, subjectivity, and blatant insults.
