why are you getting an xbox one over a ps4?

Knack, Killzone, and Drive Club...LOL, please! Even Sony don't like Drive Club so they are giving a gimped version of an already gimped game (less than 30 fps, give me a break!) away for free.

 

Meanwhile, I will be enjoying 1080p, 60fps goodness in Forza 5, Killert Instinct on launch day. Killing horde and horde on infinite zombies in DR3. Games like Battlefield 4, Titanfall will be on dedicated servers with the best FPS controller ever made. Rumble trigger and guns FTW!!!!

arent sony doing some game announcements at gamescom:? We havent heard from the majority of Sonys first party devs at all ;)

Now that the X1 retracted the main selling point for me, I'm not gettign either console. 

But if I was gettign one, I would get the X1 because of Kinect and the possibility of them reintroducing the digital gaming and sharing.

Games, superior online, controller.

1) im american 2) I got money 3) Im fanboy 4) I can live without Halo

Thats all there is to it for someone to choose Xbone over PS4 a... Sadly many fanboyistic americans that have money cant live without Halo it seems!!

Wow, it's been a long time since i've posted on here. New consoles bring me out I guess, and now I have the added benefit of being knowledgeable.

Personally, I wouldn't ever consider buying an Xbox One. People have tons of reasons for buying one, and I respect that, but it just isn't something i'd ever wanna do. PS4 just resonates much stronger with me. 

Unless you are a halo maniac,I see no reason to buy an xbox one over THE PS4.

I'm asking this to people who have chosen to get the xbox one over the playstation 4....i had both a ps3 and a 360 this generation, and although there were some amazing ps3 exclusives I thought the 360 was the better console in just about every other way. for next generation, I am looking at the ps4 over the xbox one for these reasons: GDDR5 over DDR3 : PS4 has a huge memory bandwidth advantage, even with the xbox one's esram....from my past research, memory bandwidth has a huge impact on graphics performance 18 compute units vs 12 : the ps4 has 18 GCN compute units while the xbox one only has 12 which means the ps4 has 50% more graphics power than the xbox!!! 7GB memory free for games vs 5gb : this is still rumored but many sources are saying the ps4 reserves 1gb for the OS while the xbox reserves 3gb due to it's triple OS virtualized system......this means the ps4 has 40% more available memory as well $400 vs $500 - not that this matters much to me but the ps4 is also cheaper with a smaller form factor and built in power supply based on all of this, the ps4 is hands down much more powerful than the xbox one. so for those still getting the xbox one, what is leading you to this? my best gueses are the following 3 but please let me know if its something else: Kinect : you like kinect games and want more of them....for me i guess i'm just not as interested HDMI in/TV functionality : i don't really see the purpose of this so i would love some people to chime in here...to me it honestly seems like a solution for people who don't have another hdmi input anywhere, or if you want to watch tv while u play games xbox one exclusive games : there is halo(loved 1, 2 and 3 but the rest not really), gears of war(again loved 1 2 and 3 but not the latest), and that new titanfall game which looks interesting So those of you getting an xbox one over a ps4 please chime in, i would love to hear if im missing something....i'd have no problem getting both consoles if the xbox one appealed to me morebeefalo

i have to agree with you on the PS3 vs 360 arument.. i used to be a huge PS3 fanboy and it wasnt until i finally picked up a 360 (mainly for the UFC app) that i realized i was dead wrong.. the 360 simply does everything just a little bit better than the PS3, and taken as a whole, that results in a much better product. i'm thinking this trend is going to continue into the next gen and i'm going to get a Xbox One before i eventually get a PS4. here's why:

*disclaimer: all of this is just my personal opinion/preference or speculation based on what i've seen so far*

1) Xbox Live will continue to be better than PSN.. PSN has made huge strides but lets face it, Sony is still playing catch up in comparison to XBL. i think most everyone will agree on this..

2) Kinect 2.0 will continue to be a better motion control solution than PS Move.. I have a Kinect for my 360 and i really enjoy it.. the Kinect 2 looks like it has vastly improved on absolutely everything that was good about the Kinect and fixed everything that was bad.. beyond that, now that it's packed with every XB1, developers will have more incentive to use it in meaningful ways beyond gimmicky stuff..

3) Smartglass will continue to be a better second screen solution than what Sony is currently offereing (which is currently nothing). There's rumor of a "Playstation app" that's going to be similar to Smartglass but again i'm sure Sony will playing catch up for the foreseeable future as far as second screen is concerned. Now the PS Vita remote play feature is VERY nice but i dont own a Vita and dont plan on buying one just for that.. i already own a smartphone and a tablet for Smartglass.

4) the dashboard will continue to be more dynamic. This is mostly speculation because we havent seen much of the PS4's dashboard but that may be a bad thing becasue maybe there's nothing special to show. So far, i have to say that the XB1's seemless multitasking, fluid transitions from games, movies, tv, music, and apps, and "snap view" for further multitasking all look very interesting. especially when coupled with the voice controls and gestures with Kinect. also judging from the current gen, Microsoft takes their dashboard experience way more seriously than Sony. The 360's dashboard has changed and improved dramatically over the years yet the Ps3's XMB has remained largly the same.

5) The Xbox One's multimedia will continue to be better than the PS4's. Between Xbox Music, Xbox Video, Windows 8 apps, and cross platform functionality with Windows 8 PCs, tablets, and Windows Phone 8 devices, multimedia is going to be another area where Sony is going to be playing catch-up imo. And for me personally, i already have a Windows 8 PC, a Surface RT tablet, and a Nokia Lumia 920 so with the Xbox One running on the same architecture there's plenty of exciting potential there.

6) Believe it or not, i actually like the idea of being still connected to Xbox Live while watching TV so i'm looking forward to the HDMI input of the Xbox One. Watching TV and also being able to fully interact with my XBL buddies and seemlessly be able to hop into a game of Battlefield 4 with a quick gesture or voice command is very appealing to me..

Now lets address the elephant in the room: the theoretical 40% more powerful hardware of the PS4 for making games. I can respect that and i have taken that into serious consideration. At the end, i came to the conclusion that most multiplatform games will likely look roughly identical for the foreseeable future.. developers are basically indicating that there will be no real difference visually between their games (atleast no real difference in the 1st gen games anyway) and since most of the games i'm excited about are multiplatform (MGS5, Final Fantast XV, Destiny, The Division, etc) then i'd rather play those on a system with the better functionality in all the other areas that i've mentioned. PS4 exclusives may eventually show that "40%" advantage but it looks like the XB1 exclusives are going to still look impressive regardless. a 1080p 60fps Forza at launch?.. yea, i'm not worried about Xbox One's games not looking good lol.. if PS4 games can look 40% better than that, more power to ya.. I may pick one up if/when that time comes but for now, i'm picking up the Xbox One..

so there you have it, just one man's opinion.. I can totally understand why someone would want to buy the more powerful PS4 for $100 less when you just look at that surface value. I'm looking at the machines as a whole. And as a whole, I feel the Xbox One has the better online, ecosystem, user interface, motion control, multimedia, and more..

Long story short, The Xbox One is a far superior system with much better exclusives, gameplay and entertainment.

Been saving up your allowance huh?

I'm not, but imo XB1's launch window > PS4's. 

That'd be the reason why people would... if you can get over the extra $100 hump. 

im getting the ps4 based purely on its ability to fit inside a certain space under my tv. Because of its off-set shape from a rectangular box, I feel that ill be able to accomodate room for such a console. 

because xbox is where its at. Day one baby

Been saving up your allowance huh?

Why are you even in this thread, Mr. UberSuperCow? You are not getting an XB1 at all.

i'm not early adopting this time but when i do get around to buying one i won't be getting an xbox OVER a ps4 but in addition to the ps4.

what i am getting first and OVER  both is a new pc this fall.

Exclusive games, motion and voice controls for all aspects of the system, Skype intergrated, fantasy football deal with NFL, and possibility that my cable company will have a deal with MS similar to Time Warner where I will be able to ditch my cable box and its monthly fee to watch all my programming through the Xbox One, thus saving me money each and every month. I also like the MS controller more as well. My son is a Kinect fan and its fun with the family.

PS4 to me just seems like a much more powerful PS3. It just doenst do enough and I want more than gaming even though my primary use is gaming. And only one or two PS4 games have interested me so far. I just don't care that the spcs are better. shrugs.

because I finally seen TitanFall

games.and more entertainment value. if i cared about slightly better graphics i wouldnt buy a console, i would have a pc built. 

I was going to buy the Xbone but cancelled my preorder and getting a PS4 now. MS pretty much just lost 5 million sales with me not buying it.

Its just rumors, no one is getting X1 over ps4, i mean, you really need to be shallow to do that and i don't think peeps on SW are that stupid!silversix_

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="sukraj"]

this is it why would anyone buy an xbox one over a ps4.

[QUOTE="timbers_WSU"]

I prefer the exclusives.

I liked the XBOX better than the PS2.

I liked the 360 way more than the PS3.

I preferred the 360 controller over the DS. Don't see that changing this gen.

I like sports. Microsoft is doing some nice stuff in that area.

I like the idea of having several TV channels on the screen at the same time, while I play games.

Speaking of games. Sony's first party line up did not impress me on the PS3 and their PS4 line up as of now is a joke. Second Son is the only game I have any interest in. There are 7 XB1 exclusives I want.

Cows. I once read an article about how Sony fanboys are so bad it makes you wanna hate the Sony brand. That article is true.

Sony never innovates. They will not do anything out of the ordinary. They will wait for Nintendo or Microsoft to do it first.

you mean this article?

Wow - that article is incredilble. Cracked me up - X1 has the games that interest me. Titanfall>Knack

There are no reasons, Cablebox One should have no sales.

I preordered a PS4, but Ill be getting an X1 because its the exact same console with different games...

I am getting the Xbox One because it is easily the best console with features such as the cloud, kinect and the ability to watch TV makes Xbox One far more interactive and versatile in comparison to PS4, which in my opinion is an extremely dull console that is stuck in the past. As far as games are concered Xbox ONe has all the best exclusives such as Halo 5, Forza 5 and Titanfall, the best new franchise while all Sony has is Killzone, which is a poor man's call of duty and Infamous which is an extremely dull wannabe super hero game. Also Xbox One will give me the definitive Call of Duty experience with it's superior graphics and online community, and while all of this is happening all the Sony fanboys will be crying in the corner because they have no good exclusive games to play! There is only one console I am getting next generation, and that is the Xbox One!
