Guys, I was kind of curious if we could all share what the innevitable factors are that have helped you make your decision on whether to get the PS4 or XBOX ONE? Maybe some of you are getting both at launch, which at this point seems pointless to me, but to each his own!

Not really, I got both preordered for launch and I'm getting almost all the exclusives they both have around that time!

I pre-ordered Xbox 1 because I like the exclusives better on it and most of my friends are getting that console.

Exclusives.

I have a full-time job now, I don't think I've got the time for consoles, so I'm unsure if I will get a PS4. I would say it's unlikely.

The PC is all I need and it's pretty satisfactory.

Exactly!! The reason why? GAMES. It's that simple. As a true gamer, that all you should care about, besides the price.

TBH, it's about more than games, to me. The PS4, simply, appealed to me more.

I'm getting both at launch but my X1 seems like it'll be my primary used for now. reasons? (not in any order) 1) dedicated servers for all games 2) prefer the controller for FPS games which is what i play alot 3) love what the new kinect can do 4) better launch lineup. Titanfall is my must have game and i know its not day , but its within 3-4 months of launch Reasons I'm still getting a PS4 1) faith that sony will put out some good games eventually i don't want to miss out on

Just like this generation I be getting both. The only question is which one am I getting at launch (maybe both). Right now the PS4 looks better on paper but the XBone has the lead in launch games.

That's one of the reasons I'll be playing the X1 more than PS4 unless Sony announces more games for launch for it.

I don't want that ugly Kinect sensor out in the open in my living room. If I can figure out a way to hide it I'll get one. For now, I only have a PS4 preordered

This. I'd also like to add that I hate having to be forced to buy a shitty NSA spycam and $400 for a PS4 is a highly attractive price.

Getting Xbox One because it has games

Not getting PS4 because it doesn't have games, but may get one if it ever gets any

I will get the Xbox One first after they reversed their policies. Also another factor is Xbox Live, I never for one second had a problem paying for Live in other words you get what you pay for, and my friends play on Xbox. The games appeal to me a little more as well.

I will however get a PS4 as well because Sony's first party studios make better titles in terms of single player games. I probably won't get it for a few years though down the road.

Sony didn't try to feed me sh_t and tell me it was ice cream.

Sony continues to support their console throughout it's lifespan.

Sony's exclusives aren't limited to "shoot that", "drive this".

Sony offers a more powerful system at a cheaper price.

Sony's exclusives don't wind up on PC a few months later.

didn't feed you sh_t and tell you it was ice cream? Sony said the same DRM policy as X1 (up to the publishers) but made it sound like they didn't say that. which still remains they will allow publishers to put DRM on their games. X1 no longer allows it. Sony charges for online now so they can "enhance online capabilities" WT does that mean exactly? sounds like pay us now so we can improve it later. Sony let false rumors about its OS RAM requirements run rampant for months before somebody leaked an official document. Sony has been tight lipped on everything, Sony has said we have servers too but won't sya how many MS said 300k, sony won't say how many PS+ subscribers they have. MS said 46 million XBL gold, Sony said we do cloud computing too......you know matchmaking and such. lol at that statement. Cenry said that the ram "doesn't necessarily have higher latency" which is a flat out lie, then contradicts himself by saying "it won't be a big deal and GPUs are flexible with latency from ram" which also ignores the demand from the CPU. MS might have fed us crap but they said it was crap, sony is the one hwo said it was a "lemon snowcone" when it was really pee'd on snow and your wrong on the rest too. i just don't feel like getting into it

PS4, better console, better games and it doesn't have the kinect, red ring of death, adverts and a couple other things. Although me and most of my buddies are not sure if the X1 is worth getting. For me, Halo and Ryse are the only 2 games that are worth getting. I'm not sure what my buddies like out of it when it comes to games though :/

I preordered a PS4 after two gens with XBOX gaming as my main console.  I did so based on what came out of E3... If I were to preorder now after the XO policy changes, I may have reconsidered, but Im happy with a PS4 preorder.  I'll own the XO at some point.  My main focus however though is to build a rig by early 2014.

Im getting the X1 first and possibly the ps4 later but that could change if sony shows off some more launch games before launch. My reasons for the getting the X1 first is:

1.More attractive UI to me(Ps4 ui doesnt look god to me)

2.Launch games looks better on X1 to me Aka. KI, Ryse,Titanfall and Forza

3.Im more of a online gamer so the dedicated/300k servers sound good to me 

4.I like the features like Tv integration and NFL fantasy football stats

5. Even though I havent used either I feel like both controllers will be good but I feel like I will like the X1 controller better

6. With every console being able to be a dev kit and the self publishing I think someone will come up with a good Kinect game and the voice/gesture control

So far thats about it so far but I do have both preordered as of right now but will make my final decision before they start shipping
