Which console to pre-order?

Alright Gamespot.

I'm trying to decide which next-gen console I would like to pre-order. I was leaning towards the PS4 but now that Microsoft has changed their policies for the Xbox One, i'm not sure which one to go for. They both seem equally graphicly capable (yes i'm aware that the PS4 has faster RAM) and they both have a pretty strong game line-up.. I'm really into Fps and RPG games but I still occasionally enjoy some racing and fighting.

What would you guys reccomend?

Pre-order the internet so you don't have to ask us in the future.

Pre-order both.. then never go pick them up.

Wait until January 2014. 

Allow people time to test it for you :P

This man has a point.

Preorder the console YOU want, with the games that appeal to YOU.

Here is a list of PS4 games and a list of Xbox One games.

Here is a list of PS4 exclusives: Knack, Killzone 4, Infamous, The Order, Deep Down, Driveclub

Here is a list of Xbox One exclusives: Quantum Break, D4, Killer Instinct, Titanfall, Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive, Fantasia, Ryse, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Kinect Sports Rivals, Untitled Black Tusk AAA game

These are temporary - more games will be announced of course

The Xbox One is $100 more, but it comes with Kinect if that's worth it to you. The major bummer for me about the PS4 is that online now costs money. To me, that's a deal breaker. YEs, Xbox Live costs money too, but free online multiplayer was the ADVANTAGE for the PS3, now it's gone with the PS4. Xbox One also has the Cloud.

For MYSELF, I prefer the Xbox One. For now, it has better exclusives, and its got 2 former PlayStation exclusives - Kingdom Hearts 3 and MGS5. 90% of the PS4 hype is coming from Sony's E3 smackdown of Microsoft's policies, but now that MS has reversed said policies Sony has nothing going for it now. No exclusives, no third party exclusives anymore, weak first party support, and it charges for online now. Not to mention LIVE is far more "alive" than the PS4. Kinect is also an advantage.

If you want the best go with the PS4, if you feel like getting ripped off, nickle and dimed and play the occasional multiplat go with the Xbox. 

Pre-order both

Phazevariance

PS4.

Why should we choose for you? 

I think you took too long to decide. Can you actually still preorder either of them anywhere?Telekill

Can you even pre-order a PS4 now? Since, you know, people actually want it.Floppy_Jim

Lol

Don't listen to these people who say PS4.

The Xbox One offers a lot more for the money and has a much better launch lineup of exclusive games.

The Xbox One has awesome voice and gesture controls that will be utilized in games for a better and more atmospheric gaming experience. For example, in Dead Rising 3, if you make noise, zombies will attack. Now THAT is immersive gaming!!

The Xbox One has much better online service that utilizes cloud technology for a better gaming experience (example: Titanfall).

The Xbox One has a better and more ergonomic controller.

So far, even some multiplats are running better on Xbox One (example: Watch Dogs).

Maybe down the road the PS4 will be worth purchasing, but for right now, the Xbox One has it all!!

In this case, you truly get what you pay for. And that's why the Xbox One is a more expensive but also more feature filled console.

Buying at launch is stupid. Wait and see if the hardware functions as it's supposed to, and wait for better games down the road.

ps4 has a better controller.

PS4. I almost made the mistake of getting the Xbone but I was saved by this forum and doing research.

XBO since you are gonna pay for online either way, both are great systems, but think the XBO is a little more technical and futuristic.

Put down the minimum on both, then either cancel one in the future or sell the pre-order to a friend for a quick $20.

sony forces you to pay extra for online multiplayer, which is why i cancelled my ps4 preorder for the Microsoft Xbox One.KarateeeChop

First person shooters, those are a dime a dozen on any system and can be found in overwhelming abundance. PS4 and XB1 will both have all the mainstream ones, aside from a few exclusives which will counter eachother since for any XB1 FPS that comes out that is exclusive the PS4 will have one that matches it. So this is probablly going to be a tie between both systems.

RPGs? Oh hell PS4 for sure. Sony has always had the superior RPGs on their systems mostly thanks to companies like atlus, aksys, nis, xseed, and even namco that port so damn many RPGs to playstation systems. PS4 and XB1 will have all of the same multi platform big named RPGs but playstation has always had a exceedinly large amount of RPGs on their systems. They have the mjaority of western made ones but have a metric shit ton of JRPGs

Racing? Youll have racing on both systems like all the multi platform games. But I have to side with the PS4 on this one also. I mean XB1 will have forza yes but PS4 will have Driveclub and Gran turismo and those two games alone will give me a year or more worth of driving fun. Not to mention other driving exclusives that will come along on PS4 like Motorstorm, then you have the cross platform racing games like Ridge raceer which will be on both systems you can get on the PS4 as well.

Fighting games? They will probablly be about equal really since the majority of fighters will be on both systems with a few exceptions here and there. I tend to want to say PS4 here just because I love the tekken series and aside from just one or two games released on nintendo systems its always been more or less a sony machine based series.

RPGS - PS4 will probably get all the western titles and a hell of a lot more japanese ones (if you are into those)

FPS - Halo still doesn't have an exclusive equivalent on the playstation. However, on day 1, there will be a few free to play MMO shooters on the ps4 if you want to try those out. Destiny also does get exclusive content on the PS4 and both will be getting all the other big games like COD and BF4. These get dlc 1 month early on xbox however. Titanfall is currently only planned for Xbox and PC, but there's lots of speculation that'll just be a timed deal.

Racing - What kind of racing? Sim or Arcade? Well, the big exclusive names relevant today are Forza, Gran Turismo, and Driveclub. Driveclub is unproven, but if you sign up for ps+ you get a free version of it with a little less cars and tracks, I think. Forza 5 will be a launch title for Xbone. Gran Turismo 6 MIGHT get a ps4 port, but right now, nothing is clear. All other racers announced at this point are multiplat.

Fighting - Xbone does have Killer Instinct as a noteworthy exclusive. It will have a free to play model with 1 character you can use, or you can just buy the normal game. Heard it's not made by Rare, though. I don't really pay attention to this genre, so I can't tell you if there are any other exclusives. Assume most or the rest will be multiplats.

------

After that, I guess it's up to factors like price, online capabilities, online pricing, etc small things like that. MS has a proven larger infrastructure and plans for stuff with cloud computing with their large network while all we really know regarding Sony on that matter is they also have the technology, but the bigger focus is using cloud tech to gain backwards compatibility. A mic will ship with every ps4 and it will be $100 and the online costs should you get + will be $10 cheaper per year. A kinect will come with every Xbone though.

The d-pad, which sucked for fighters on the 360 has been corrected for the Xbone controller. The triggers, size, and analog stick looseness which people didn't like for shooters on ps3 have been fixed for the ps4 controller.

Edit: Oh! a big thing that might matter. If you own a racing wheel or a fancy headset, I don't think those will work on for the Xbox One. MS talked about adapter plans for headsets, but there's nothing solid. Their solution for the most part is buying new accessories. PS4, I THINK it's been confirmed all the usb accessories and stuff like that will work on ps4. Move controllers would too, if you like those. DS3 is the only thing I know won't be compatible.

100% incorrect and wrong.

Free online games like dc universe, warframe, planetside 2 and so on are free to play without having to pay for PS+

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Free-to-Play-Online-PS4-Games-Won-t-Require-PlayStation-Plus-Subscription-360785.shtml

Sony has stated that third party developers are the ones to decide if they want to put their games behind the PS+ paywall. Making it optional for developers and publishers to decide if they want PS+ to be required to play their games online. And not every game will require PS+

http://www.gamestitch.com/2013/06/13/ps4-its-the-publishers-choice-to-require-plus/

Netflix, party chat and so on do not require the use of PS+ either

http://www.gamechup.com/ps4-playstation-plus-details-cross-game-chat-doesnt-require-the-service/

Microsoft still puts EVERYTHING behind the XBLG paywall, even netflix cant be accessed without having XBLG.

So XBLG costs 60 dollars a year and you get 2 games a month.

PS+ costs 50 dollars a year, it gives you 18 game instantly, 5 new games a month, discounts on the PSN store, online game save backups, full game trials and more for 10 dollars less and the account will work on the Ps3, Ps4 and Vita so you can access your games and account from all of them at no extra cost.

So tell me why again did you cancel your ps4 order? Oh wait, you never had one. If you did you would understand the differences instead of not knowing anything but claiming to. Come on, you have a Xbox logo for an avatar, are we really supposed to believe you pre ordered a ps4 or that you actually know what youre talking about when you talk about the PS4?

"Sony makes you pay for online, which is why I got a xbox one!" Haha, but microsoft forces you to pay even more for online, and they give you a lot less.

lol the Xbox One fanboys (?!) getting owned again and again. It's like a slaughterfest. It's almost painful to watch.
Maybe we should just end it. Just adblock all the MS fakeboys/fans and move on, so that they don't have to suffer extended torture for the next 5 years. Then again I want them to suffer all the way through for the years of x360 crap they posted on SW.

Oh TC just get a PC. Whatever you do don't get an Xbox One unless you really want to play their launch lineup for the next 5 years. They're likely to drop support early because quite frankly they have almost nobody to make games for them, and they will care even less than last gen now that Kinect is included.
