You realize the multiplat advantage is in the PS4 performance wise and power this time around?
Last gen it was 360, but this gen it's been switched around.
Anyways, I bought a launch Xbone and PS4. The Xbone is for exclusives, the PS4 is for exclusives and multiplats.
Yeah but the advantage is so negligible that unless you were REALLY trying to, you wouldn't even notice a difference. Just like last gen, multiplats on 360 were better but I had a PS3 and my brother had his 360 around when he still lived with me.. there was like no difference that I could actually notice. Some games like Bayonetta I heard were noticeably inferior but I didn't even wanna play that game in the first place lol
The Xbone carries the media center advantage too I love having my stuff centralized basically
The multiplat difference is a lot greater this gen than last gen, but whatever floats your boat. I know this from owning the machines and doing a lot of tests, but don't take my word for it, there's hundreds of gamers comparing all over the net and discovering the same thing. Even smaller things like installs take forever on Xbone, which is surprising considering how the 360 worked. That's because the 360 team didn't design the xbone. You'll see when you get both, if you ever do comparisons. During Launch years there isn't a lot of games, so that's when I have a little spare time to tinker with these machines instead of playing more games. Even little things like $50 PS+ and $60 XBLG which comes with GwG. Since launch PS+ gave 14 free PS+ games away and since Nov 2013 launch Xbone gave away 5 GwG free games. GwG just started this June for whatever reason and in that time frame gave users 5 games. In that same time frame PS+ gave their users 7 games. If you use Metacritic, there is also a gap in quality, the GwG games so far have been lower quality choices. The more expensive machine ($500) with the more expensive service ($60) offered less and lower quality 'free' games. Just sort of strange considering the NFL Deal, the recent Timed exclusive TR 360/Xbone deal, but on the consumer end it could be improved.
If you have both machines, why buy the inferior version for the same price. If I only had one machine I wouldn't care like when you only had a PS3, but if you have both machines (I had both last gen), I go for the performance if there is one. It's true last gen for the most part the advantages were negligible, but the gap is larger this generation than last generation.
The Xbone doing media center stuff doesn't change or alter the multiplat discrepancy. In fact, the Xbone additional HDMI port to toggle another device lowers the resolution of that device and adds slight lag. After noticing that discrepancy and doing a lot of research I discovered laymen wouldn't notice, it's more for tech junkies that have issue, which unfortunately I am. I disconnected the device and ran it through my expensive AVR. If you get Kinect, it's you can turn on the machine with your voice assuming your speakers aren't too loud which I have a 7.1 Surround Setup so I end up using my controller anyways instead of voice (truth be told, if you have to say commands multiple times even with the sound off, I would rather just push a button). That's the only major differences to me, Kinect and an extra HDMI port.
To be perfectly honest, the older PS3 and even 360 to a lesser extent (no Blu-Ray) are better media centers with more features and apps than the PS4 or Xbone. You have a PS3 and access to a 360, so you'll discover that soon enough. In fact, I watch Blu-Rays on my PS3 over my Xbone and PS4 to this day.
I just wanted to fill you in as I own both so my comparisons don't come from internet comparisons, but rather my living-room. I've even borrowed/rented games on both to do comparisons to check these machines out.
To answer about your initial query once again: It appears that the Japanese footing between both machines in the future and today is leaning towards the PS4. There is the sales variable which is 3:1 or something like that. I know PS4 just hit 10 million units and that's going to attract developers around the world. However, specifically Japanese titles traditionally go to Playstation because they have a presence in Japan and sadly the Xbone, 360, and Xbox did not. That's not to say they won't have some Japanese fun and deep games, but when talking about quantity from that region, the PS4 will have that advantage in gaining more deep and fun Japanese titles from Japanese developers. Bloodborne is a good, recent example of that (from Sony and From Software and the director of Demon's Souls).
Anyways, have a good one man.
