In 2014, how can you really go wrong with either console?

What bank do you have that gives you free credit?

I would argue that the mouse is more of what you use to aim or to face your character in a direction while the keyboard keys are what you actually move with. But regardless, the keyboard is the part of the mouse/keyboard duo that makes that control type abysmal ... at least to me.

And I'm not arguing that mouse/keyboard controls should be dumped for controllers. But it would be nice if more games on PC offered both, allowing you to pick one or the other.

most people i talk to who own either a PS4 or xbone are very happy with their purchases. At the end of the day if you like to play video games you will be happy either way. If you like to win forum arguments then maybe one console might be better than the other to you.

Arent you a PC gamer? Why not play PC with your friends?

If I learned something of my 15 years of gaming is: NEVER buy a console because of your friends.

Both consoles look extremely solid right now.

I would say neither until later this year. The PS4 lineup in terms of exclusives is pretty weak right now(besides infamous).Unless you are interested in any of the downloadable games or multiplats the console will be collecting dust until the end of the year most likely.The xbox one is slightly more expensive in the UK, but it has a couple of launch games that may interest you.

Dastard! You're getting both!? xD

Eitherway sounds safe.. FLIP A COIN! :)

I think you should check X1 first tho with your situation.

Nah he should go PS4 this summer to get in on the Beta, Bungie has already confirmed goodies for those participating in the Beta

@clyde46: I can't speak for him but I have an Amazon store card that gives 6-12 months interest free as long as you pay it off before then.

Not perma free, 6 months, and my birthday is before that date, and it should be relatively easy to pay off by that time period (only working 24 hours a week atm). John Lewis Partnership card. nothing special. most places offer 6 months free?

Destiny is the first real game I want... the idea was to let PSN provide me with little bits to do when I'm not PC gaming, I wasn't sure from the other thread where I asked if I could buy a PS Vita later and get the backlog of games from my PSN+?

BUT, as I said, the dillema being, most people I know have X1s .... so I would be playing Destiny alone... which.... I dunno kinda defeats the purpose?

This. There's no point in buying a console for multiplats if your PC can run them just fine.

Well said.

So in reality there ain't much reason to buy either? why have you guys bought yours then?

What local co-op games are there currently to entertain friends for example?

LOL! Surely, you can't be this naive. Please tell us that you're not serious, and that you're just talking SW trash. Trying to portray M$ as some kind of homespun, family operated, consumer-friendly, blue-blooded all-American company that has only the consumer's best interests at heart is not only disingenuous, but downright dumb. It's like trying to describe Jaws as a "cute little fishy".

The simple truth is that there is no corporation on earth that is more wantonly predatory, monopolistic and viciously anti-competitive that your beloved M$. Their entire evil empire is based on a stolen operating system. I'm sorry, but no matter what system you prefer, let's not just shut off our brains simply because a company makes a piece of plastic we adore.This place is becoming more & more like Jonestown every passing day.

I have both consoles but none of my friends is getting Destiny so that's why I'm going PS4. Going to be weird buying a Bungie game for Sony hardware(first for me since ONI PS2) but hey :P
