@blackbeltjones @SS4_Trunks Its a joke when some one says, "well I'll just get both" Lol please donate 10% of what your going to spend on some form of charity. If everyone is arguing that they're going to be almost identical consoles then why hold back. Get 1 and watch the other suffer. All this talk about "why can't we all get along?"...BS! M$ giving sincere props to a Sony game....BS! Spending over a 1000 on both platforms defeats the entire reasoning of E3 and the console war.
If your going to get 2 platforms at least let the second be the wii u. Just make sure after u get either the ps4 or xbone.
I assume we all have PC(how the heck else do u get on the internet?) just not moded with all the high tech crap(which is relatively expensive). But we all have rights too! If we buy a game and we complete it 100% offline or online, single player or multiplayer and its of no use to us, we should have the right to trade our friends for a game, trade or sell it at gamestop, or down right pawn the game. I cant imagine a console that is always on( I pay the electric bills here!) I mean the only thing that should always be on is the internet, phone, fridge and clocks. Lol everything else was made to be shut down some time right? If it was just that I could take it...BUT, that camera and mic I cant take that...NO WAY!
You can try to lull fools with pretty words like..."Well you have the option to turn off the camera", lol then what about the mic? Microsoft is a cooperation as close to the government as you can get. Its sucks more than a peeping tom. We all have rights as gamers I'm not an ancient gamer from the pong days, but us around the age of 25-30, who game strong since Nintendo are use to trading, selling and borrowing games. Actual games too(I know this is the digital age but but physical software shouldn't be a dead issue for the next 5 years)that we can feel and touch. Granted this is the worst design I've ever seen for a Sony product Period! The controller is sexy as hell tho.
That being said I have a son so he will be getting a Wii U since that is a console to have pure genuine fun. But with Sony and Microsoft come the hardcore gamers...such as myself. Both Ps4 and XBOX ONE will practically share most 3rd party titles. You now have to pay to play online for both major consoles(so lobbies should be poppin on both systems) SO what does it come down too...Hmm?
1. PRICE $400(ps4) vs. $500(xboxone)
2. PERFORMANCE OF SOFTWARE Supposedly Sony has a slight edge over Microsoft but this is still left to be determined by playing respective 3rd party software( ex. call of duty, metal gear solid,etc).
3. OVERALL VALUE This is defined by you...the gamer cuz in the end your not gonna spend half a grand for your granddaddy to finally get the laziest, no effort, remote control that ever existed as a console now...are u? Your not gonna buy a game thats not digital and be denied the right to trade with as many friends as you want too...right? The overall value is determined by you until you part with the game, and can be defined by limitless experiences and possibilities(possible money or credit you can get from gamestop to purchase a new or used game for a new possibility and experience) ..key word limitless.
I refuse to support a console that limits experiences. The very idea should be FORBIDDEN!
