While Sony would like you to believe that there is some huge graphical disparity between the XB1, and the PS4... The reality is that there isn't. Side by side comparisons look pretty much the same.
Once you figure that out, it's a pretty easy decision to make. The XB1 literally does everything else better than the PS4. Cows will cry about Halo, and Forza, but the truth is that the PS4 has nothing that competes with those two games. Driveclub offers no customization, few cars, even fewer tracks, and a joke of multiplayer. Killzone was supposed to compete with Halo, but we all know how that turned out.
Games like Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the blind Forest, Titanfall, and Ryse aren't on the PS4. All of those are quality games. Some people would prefer to play those over Infamous SS, Bloodborne, and The Order.
The XB1 also has lots of good games coming up as well with Forza 6, Tomb Raider, Gears of War, Recore, and Rare Replay coming up, along with Sea of Thieves, Scalebound, and Quantum Break. The PS4 has Uncharted 4 coming out next year, but most of it's other big games are coming out in 2017.
Aside from all that, the XB1 easily has the upper hand. XB1's controller is widely regarded as being superior to the DS4. Voice chat clarity is far better on XB1, Apps such as Twitch, and Skype work perfectly, and if you're into sports then the XB1 is a no brainer.
Cows will mention how most multiplats run better on PS4. It's their bread and butter at the moment. The fact is, is that again... There is really no noticeable difference between the two visually. Games that often look better on PS4, often run better on the XB1. The only real difference on multiplats is for games like COD, Battlefield, Fifa, Madden, or pretty much any other multiplayer game. All those will perform better on the XB1, as XBL is far better, and stable than PSN. Why would someone play COD or Battlefield on PS4 with all that downtime.
In top of all that, the XB1 is cheaper than the PS4, making it an even better financial investment.
Most of your views here are complete OPINION. I can do that too. Lets see here:
I personally prefer the symmetrical analog on Dual Shock. As being a human being, my thumbs are the same spots on both hands. I hate having to use that crapy dpad bad stick placement 360 controller on my pc ( hence why I avoid controller pc games and stick to strategy and isometric rpgs on it).
Those games, forza , and fable don't interest me. Tomb Raider, Gears 1, Ori, titanfall and ryse don't interest me either and if they did .... they are all on the pc (although I don't play controller games on it, but if it was compelling enough i would, but those games aren't compelling to me in the slightest).
As an RPG connoisseur and mega fan... PS4/PC combo can't be beat. I get Tales games, Disgaea games, FF games, Star Ocean, Dragon Quest Heroes, Neir 2, Bloodborne, Dark souls, fallout 4, witcher 3, dragon age, and whatever else comes out...
- Japanse game support. You don't see quirky jp games coming to the x1. Games like Samurai Warriors 4, S4-ii, Yakuza 5, Shenmue3, Streetfighter 5 etc...
- Other niche titles... Tropico 5 (no longer a 360 series), Hellblade, Guilty Gear Xrd, Blaz-blu, etc.. I love niche games.
Better multiplats at higher res. You may not think it's a big deal but it can jarring at lower resolution sometimes. I remeber when AC: Blackflag launched and it was 900p before a patch, the 1080p ps4 patch came out a few days later and made the game so beautiful. It eliminated the blur and jaggies. Now some ps4 games do run 900p but the ones that do are usually running at 720p on the bone.... ala last gen resolution. To me that is unacceptable. No game on ps4 runs last gen 720p.
Better indies and more - Rogue legacy, Counter spy, Geometry wars 3, Apatheon, Atriom Verge, Transistor, etc...
-Faster UI and better integrated sharing and streaming functions.
-Larger and better gaming community.
- Less cursing or music blaring in the background online from USA kiddies who will stick to xbox because it's what they got last gen from their parents or their siblings == better online.
- Better blog and reporting new content. Humble guys, not corporate relic major nelson.
I could go on and on and on for why ps4 is better.... But most is just opinions... everyone has them. Just don't spout off opinions as facts...ie "most people think xbox controller is better"... not true at all. Who knows what most people think.
