I thinkMicrosoft are doing a good job own thier own. No need to convince anyone, if you want an xbox one you're a fanboy plain and simple.

[QUOTE="StormyJoe"]

You are not some contra... you are a video game fanboy! I say "fanboy" because you are, by your own admission, going out and trying to convince people to buy *your* console. That's rather sad, really.

StormyJoe

You are the sad one for thinking that free speech and the power to convince is a perogative exclusive to the manufacturer. You are worse than a fanboy, you're a fanboy in disguise, that makes you a hypocrite.

I like debating topics in SW. But, I don't call up or when I see my friends, tell them what console to buy - unless they ask. Even when they do ask, I mention the positives and negatives of all three. And yes, I see quite a few positives for the PS4 and Wii U.

Why would I try to convince other people to buy something that they may not want? That's the fast track to having your friends get ticked off at you.

They are 360 owners just like me but unlike them I had done my research on the next-gen. They were undecided, I told them the XboxOne controller was superiour, that the games were looking good so far and that it has non-gaming features such as Skype, a practical media overview and making fast switching between various formats easy as a pickle. But I also said that Sony's used game policy didn't change, that it doens't require online check-in, that it is cheaper, that it is more powerfull, and that the abundance in exclusives could be a nice change.

You see, if XboxOne was the superiour system I would not be able to convince them, in the end they make up their own mind based on what they know (information is great). My thread is about people digging the PS4 wanting to play online with their friends on a system they believe in. I never said misinform your friends. Of course there is a snear at XboxOne in my post but have you noticed the wave of criticism flooding the XboxOne, I am not responsible for that, and yes, I do think it's justified.

Right...

neither he or i have any reason to lie about it man.

he said the store manager said they had stopped taking x1 reserves at stores company wide.

it should be pretty easy to confirm or call bullshyt on.

maybe the store manager was full of shyt but i doubt it.

taking pre orders is how those guys keep their jobs.

Why would you convince people to buy a last gen console like PS4 over a future gen console like Xbox One?

Already convinced a few to get a PS4, and one so far has pre-ordered it from Amazon.

There are a few I can't, they're the type that would allow someone to destroy the video game industry.

The most important thing for me is this.

People are quick to come up with reasons not to get the X1

 

But I have yet to hear one reason why I should get the Playstation bore. 

You can throw specifications at me all you like but the simple fact is the PSbore is not superior enough to distinguish itself from the X1  on performance. 

Sony played it safe, its just the same as my PS3 with a performance upgrade. I refuse to pay that amount of money for an upgrade, I would rather spend £500 on a new and interesting console.

Your mind has been made up, I respect that, I can see a lot of people going for XboxOne. It's going to be a great war.

I'm supporting your move TC, but by buying a WiiU and a new PC. Sony/Microsoft probably won't get my money.

One of my friends was an xbone fan, then he looked at the internet and immediately pre-ordered a PS4.

LOL. You realize Microsoft blew their load in games right? Sony still has much more to show at TGS and Gamescom. Heck, Sony showed more games at E3 than Microsoft did and the system is $100 cheaper, 40% more powerful and far more consumer friendly. Fact is, both systems are simply technical upgrades with social features. That is what advancement between generations are. Seriously, getting an Xbone is literally an asine decision at this point. Why you would want to support a horrible company like Microsoft is beyond me anyway. They don't have a single good product and have completely lost their way in every industry they entered.
