ill get an xb1 later on the road, ill support ms, bc i was very happy with my 360, but i just dont want a weak console. the ps4 is a beast, the xb1 is alot weaker in terms of gpu... if the xb1 gpu was upgraded id get that instead of the ps4, but it is not...

 

 

so yea.. im getting a ps4. who else is like me and only getting a ps4 due to the 40% stronger gpu?

Nah, really the game support and promis of new better games is what it is about, but that is always the bottom line with me.  Xbox was more powerful than PS2 but PS2 crushed xbox in quality games...:cool: but it dosen't hurt that PS4 will have the best of both worlds this go round.

if people are going by this gpu stuff now, people should have bought the 360 over the ps3, as I believe it has the advantage gpu wise.

i bought a 360 bc it was cheaper.. but i fell in love with forza and GEOW.. sadly the xb1 will be more expensive and weaker than the ps4, how could i refuse sony when in 2-3 years, ps4 games are going to look 40% better? ill buy an xb1 later on the road... but just not now.

Specs are meaningless. I buy games consoles because of the games and not the specs. The Wii was weaker to and everyone bought it. The PS2 was weaker too and everyone bought it. Specs end up being irrelevant every generation. Just get the console with the games you want to play. It's that simple. I'm getting them both.

For $150, the 7870 GHz is a good bit more powerful than what the PS4 is using. Or for $190, a stock 7950 is nearly twice as powerful...

They should have bought an XBox over the PS2 as well. It's just bias BS really.

:cool: Paying more for less is what you get with the XB1 currently. PS4 is just the better choice now unless you can't live without Forza rehashes and 343's Halo.

When a console sucks as bad as the Xbone games are not the only thing that matters. Shitty hardware at a shitty price with a scam of a online service that mocks you with ads.

The main purpose for buying a console shouldn't be because it has better graphics. It should be because it has games that you like and want to play, graphics and whatever else come after that. While it's nice to have good graphics. I'll take a good story and good gameplay over graphics. What good is a game if it has amazing graphics, but the story and gameplay suck? The original xbox smashed the ps2 when it came to graphics. Which console sold more? I'm sure you know the answer to that. PS2. If everyone was so worried about graphics, why didn't everyone buy a xbox and why didn't it destroy the ps2 in sales?

If you care about power then you're looking at the wrong systems. I'm getting a PS4 over upgrading the rig for the games, ease of use and to play online with my friends.

All this spec talk is just PR bullshit, just like the power of the cell on the PS3 or whatever, except this time consoles are relatively weaker than they were last gen. Until the games actually release and you can see the noticeable differences (if any) I'd hold off on buying one of the HD twins.

Unless of course this is a very sarcastic thread, which it kinda feels like :P

PS4 is weak.  Xbone is weaker.

You're not accomplishing much with either.

Its not just the GPU, but I guess that could be a good reason to get it over the xbone. For me its a few reasons, Kinect,XBL,MS lack of 1st party and exclusives that are good.

I hope Sony has more flops that sell 13 million copies. You can't have it both ways. Criticize Gran Turismo for scores/quality then criticize Killzone for not selling as much as the bigger FPS IPs even though it scores well or above expectations.

:cool: I see you've also uncovered the great lemming hypocrisy. :lol: They bash KZ for not being as popular as Gears/Halo but at the same time say GT5's sales don't matter because it scored less than Forza.

Being that both consoles are actually relatively weak considering where PC's are graphically I'm definitely going with the stronger of the two consoles initially and perhaps after I see what the Xbox One is supposedly capable of and performs to our expectations then I may purchase an Xbox One but so far it doesn't sound good. From what we hear it's barely able to run Forza 5 which is an exclusive and perhaps also has less content than Forza 4 from what people are saying is kind of sad TBH.

I'm on the verge of giving up and letting them figure it out on their own. I'm getting tired of trying to explain to these stubborn fanboys that the performance of the two systems is much closer than these self proclaimed techies and uneducated journalists would lead them to believe...

Well they could just play titanfall on PC
