I am very eager to see what Microsoft has in store. I know there will be innovation, I just don't know if it will be what I'm wanting. I'd rather not pay a large sum of money for a game console that's not a game console. And I really don't want to wave my hand around or speak to play my games. I'm tired of seeing ads on my dashboard even though I pay 60 dollars a year for LIVE, and I'm tired of seeing movies, TV and music becoming more prioritized than what made me want an Xbox in the first place -- GAMES!
As for the PS4, I do not have a FaceBook, and I don't want one. While Xbox having FB integration was very neat, it mattered to me less than what color shoes Bill Gates had on when he left his house the morning I found out about this "ground-breaking" feature. I don't give a rats ass about the social button; it's stupid, in my opinion. I don't like how you can "ghost play" for someone. That's going to lead to boosters paying someone way more familiar with a game to take over and grabs them levels, kills and unlockables they should never have owned. I just can't stand cheaters... But I digress, I don't like it. I don't like that there's no playback capability on here. I know the next Xbox may not allow it as well, but that really sucks. It's good I currently don't have a PS3 so I can just, hopefully, buy them all off PSN, but they'll be an arm and a leg there.
There are some good things, but so far the PS4 has flaws I don't like and I can't wait to see what Xbox is doing that I won't like. I'm ready to balance the pros and cons of each so I can make my decision on which will be my first console of the 8th generation of video games.
