Activision: Gamers will 100% go for the cheaper next gen console (PS4VSX1)

Better than a sucky ass console custom built by ascendtech.

All you need to do now is add a graphics card 100-200$

 

by the time you buy xbox live and a game it's gonna coast about the same as the pc with graphics card

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"]I know some people who are buying the One just because they don't like the dualshock controller and want to play Halo. So I wouldn't be too sure about that, Activision. Oh, and obligatory, CoD LOL. BF4>>>>>>>>>>>>-RocBoys9489-

You've got to read into what they're saying.

If they showed a group of people both consoles, and said "Both will play highly-anticipated games with next-gen visuals, but one is $100 more" then of course everyone would choose the one that's $100 less.

But that's not the real-world scenario, and that's not what Activision is talking about. They're just simply talking about the focus group who really knows nothing about the systems other than that they do "pretty much the same thing" for a different price.

Obviously people will sway one way or another if they know more about the consoles. The Xbox One's library being amazing, and the enhanced feature set, is why the console is staying competitive at the current moment despite mountains of bad press.

Chya, the PC makes the thought of buying a console harder, and harder every day 

With that said, if I had $500 lying around that had absolutely no purpose in life than to buy something ultimately pointless, I'd buy an Xbox One. That way I'm ready for the awesomeness rather than relying on friends for games, like Halo, all last gen.

It is not even about price, for me anyway. 

If Sony had included the PS camera and priced the PS4 at $499 , i still would rather get the PS4 over the Xbox One. I like the Move functionality much better than the Kinect. I love the idea of Move functionality on the ps4 controller and i really hope it is a feature that is well used in games. I love the Move wand controllers too, as they are very precise and accurate. They work very well in FPS games as well as some sports games like Golf and i like the casual Sports Champion series too. 

Kinect on the other hand is completely usless in games, with the exception of Dance games, and has virtually no appeal to me.

better investment than a shitty console anyday last you longer than a console will for gaming.

That's not even a good build. No GPU, no blu-ray drive (you get one on the consoles), and a mediocre processor (majority of PC games prefer strong cores to many weak cores). By the time you actually get the thing built you're looking at at least $650 for a PC that you'll have to turn down the graphic settings just to play modern games with.

If the only reason you're building a PC is to play just slight above console settings, you're just fooling yourself.

If you're going to build a gaming PC you might as well drop the money and do it right. You'll upgrade less over the years and just be happier.

PC is cheaper so more people will go PC this Gen then? I know i 'm going this route.dobzilian

Why is PC always thrown in every thread? are PC owners that desperate for more people to join? the thread has nothing to do with PC and no PC is not cheaper, if you really want real gaming on the  PC it could cost $900+ but i do agree that games are very cheap on the PC ( OR you can even get all games for free if you wish and desire, its very easy ).. there is no point in throwing PC down in every single thread, not everyone like what PC has to offer and not all games are on the PC.

PS4 is only 40 dollars cheaper when you add Eye.ShoulderOfOrion

The DS4 is a whole completely new controller, heck even the BF4 devs are saying its superior that PS3 and xbox controllers, opinion of someone who not only makes a huge FPS but also someone who actually treid it http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/06/25/battlefield-4-designer-explains-superiority-of-dualshock-4-over-ps3-and-360-controller-mocks-the-fanboys/

Not 100% of gamers but most will buy Ps4 yeah.

 

Oh btw finalstar2007, i just saw Man of Steel and no way that is Movie of the year, that goes to Django Unchained:P

aroxx_ab

I thoguht man of steel was so good i may go see it again :P.. easily i thought it was the best super hero movie

Anyone who buys a X1 his bad with money and has very bad taste in general!

Except the Eye isn't mandatory. Can't say the same for Kinect unfortunately. :P

[QUOTE="Davekeeh"]

Yes, gamers will go for the cheaper and superior console with better games

Wrestling has always sucked. It just went from being trashy anti-establishment pandering in the 90s to "Please stop scrutinizing us for Chris Benoit" today.

SO the Wii u will win in sales! ..........o wait. 

Seems to me he's stating the obvious. Of course we like to pay less for stuff. The people who will get an X1 will need to be convinced there is an aded 100$ value in what they are getting, or that the X1 meets their needs more. Of course if the consoles are identical but one cost 100$ more than the other, why the hell would anyone buy the more expensive one?

all you gotta do is add a graphics processor read latest www.anandtech.com reviews for graphics card never hurts to read instructions install the graphics card and take dumps on ps4/xdone.

upgrade the gpu every 4-5 years pc last like over 10 years still be running shit on max.

difference is 4-5 years multiplats on console hell not even launch day will be running max settings like the pc version.

quake 4 and call of duty 2  on xbox360 were serverly watered down pieces of shit when it came to graphics compared to pc on launch day in 2005 same shits gonna happen.

Yes 400 dollars for a system that is pretty much the same in terms of hardware (but still more powerful) is nice.

 

The fact the big difference is the lack of camera on PS4 which I can still buy if I want for 60 dollars and it still be 40 dollars less than a xb1 with its camera is nice.

 

The fact I can get ps+ which gives A LOT MORE than xbl live does, for less is nice also.

 

But what it comes down to is politics for me. MS slammed its consumers hard with tons of drm and said "deal with it" and spent weeks, months arguing with consumers as to why they should deal with it, then flip flopped not for the sake of the customer but to get better sales. The fact they put even something simple as netflix behind a paywall and dozens of other reasons why I wont support MS. I wont support them for their terrible lack of respect for the very people who keep them in business.

 

Im not a fanboy of any system because I love games. But I also wont support a company that treats its customers like walking wallets and nothing else. If sony did the same thing as MS and MS was the company to give its customers options and showed that they mattered then I would have pre ordered a xb1 instead of a ps4.

 

If a company does things that dont make me feel like a valued customer I dont give them money, regardless of who they are.

This post wins.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"]Wii U has won. Thank you finalstar!finalstar2007

the title says next gen console not last gen so WiiU cant possibily win :D

your welcome

lol

the problem with wiiiu right now is the heavy titles have yet to hit , wiiu is just starting to wake up just like 3ds and ds and ps3 lol all of which took time

So the Wii U wins? :P

The cheaper one and the superior one.faizan_faizan

Brand loyalty goes pretty far with video games. People will blindly buy a console from their favorite brand despite everything.

What if I get the cheaper console AND the more expensive one?

 

Mind = Blown?

MrGeezer

there's that rumor going around that MS may remove the Kinect requirement, I'm inclined to maybe believe it since removing it from being bundled with consoles can drop the price probably by $100, if not more if say MS takes a loss on it to try to beat PS4 on price, surely they can't be so blind that they don't realize that cheaper has an advantage with consumers... then again maybe this just plays into that 3rd console curselamprey263

So Microsoft will just give up every single thing that had planned with X1. Without Kinect it is CLEARLY inferior to PS4.

Yes 400 dollars for a system that is pretty much the same in terms of hardware (but still more powerful) is nice.

Yep very nice sums up my thoughts aswell.

Seeing how CoD:Ghosts ( and most if not all multiplats ) havent even been announced for the WiiU yet i dont think they take the WiiU very seriously.

They're just trying to get MS to drop the price. A cheaper console is better for publishers, since it means more consoles that can play their games.

I'm going for both though I agree with them in the fact that the cheaper console will definitely have more sales.
