I have been seeing increasing numbers of posts but this one right here is the one I think has the more interesting article, however before I post it, seems the Sony left a wide hole in NA with all these overtalked "issues" that the bias is coming out. But EU and Japan are still up for grabs again and the PS4 will probably still do well in NA. My biggest issues are underlined:
As with the previous systems, you’ll be able to connect Xbox One and PS4 to the Internet to access a wide range of features. Of course, to access these features you’ll need to pay from the start. $59.99 will buy Xbox One users a year subscription to Xbox Live Gold and $49.99 will buy PS4 users a year of PlayStation Plus -- each subscription allows consumers to play games online and use various streaming video apps. Netflix and Hulu Plus will be available to PS4 users without PS Plus, but the Xbox One won’t run such apps without payment. However, Xbox One users will be able to use Skype to make video calls and it’s unclear whether PS4 will offer that feature.
Ultimately, though the PS4 is the more powerful system, you're probably better off going with the Xbox One. Granted, the PS4 boasts some impressive specs, but the Xbox One will be the better system in the long run.
Xbox One will basically cost $110 more than PS4, but that comes with significant advantages. The Xbox 360’s controller was harshly criticized due to its inhibitive controls, and Microsoft has clearly listened to the feedback of its consumers with the redesigned controller. PS4 only offers the same basic controller design with the inclusion of a seemingly futile touch pad.
While it's true that Xbox Live won't operate much without a valid subscription, Xbox's online capabilities (like multiplayer gaming and video chatting) far surpass those of the PS4
The PS4 launch titles are a bit uninspiring. It’ll probably be a while before you get the chance to play Grand Theft Auto VI or Resident Evil 7, meanwhile Xbox gamers will get the chance to play newer versions of their favorite games sooner.
You will need to get extra storage for your console and if you don’t want to open your PS4 and risk damaging it in an attempt to install another one, you're better off with the Xbox One. It's much easier to upgrade thanks to the external storage option.
If you give either console to someone this Christmas, they will certainly be grateful — but they'll likely smile just a bit wider with the new Xbox because gamers will get to spend more time enjoying their new (and old) games.
Can someone tell me why mainly, the PS4 launch is somehow preventing people from playing GTA6 and RES7 That and the 360 controller being attacked is probably the most BS I have seen in an article. But there are other articles that are also saying the same thing.
So maybe the X1 got NA back after all ok. Doing it the most unethical way possible.
