With microsoft finally coming to their senses and removing their 'always online' policies, the next-gen race is starting to becoming competitive again. I'm not saying that the Sony lead is no longer there. Sony is still leading but Microsoft has tightened its shoe laces and isnt quitting till the end.

In a recent blog of mine I wrote how the Xbox policies made me shift to the PS4 rather than the Xbox One, but last night(Im in India so it was night), when i got to know about Microsoft's announcement it really made me confused. I was happy that Microsoft finally listened to the gamers but I was confused. Now I didnt know if I should switch back.

The Sony console might be the better one is hardware specs but as we have seen in our current gen consoles, better hardware doesnt always mean better graphics. So this rules out the millions of people saying that just because the PS4 has better specs, its the better console. Thats just not true.

Coming to my point. The playing field has been levelled. The consoles have been launched. The specs have been improved. The controllers have been improved. The services have been improved, but at the end of the day it comes down to the games. I believe than in the next generation of consoles, gamers shouldnt choose which company to buy from but which games they want to play because looking at the consoles, Now the major difference is the games. Yes the prices have a $100 difference but its the games that count.

On one hand the Xbox has amazing exclusives like:

1.Halo              

2. Forza MotorSports  

3. Titanfall

4.Ryse                                                          

5. Quantum Break                                                                                                                                                                                         

6. Metal Gear Solid V

7. Battlefield 4

8. Killer Instinct

and many more. They have come out with many new IPs and it seems like a bright gaming future but one the other hand Sony isnt far behind with games such as:

1. InFamous

2. Final Fantasy

3. KillZone

4. The Order 1886

5. Gran Turismo

6. Knack

and loads of other games that Im missing. GS has this next-gen war going on which the PS4 is leading by a large margin but today Ive seen that more people are opting to vote for the Xbox than before. Is MS a little to late to arrive at the party or is this the start to a winning streak of moves to clinch the title as the Best Next-Gen console?

Both consoles are amazing. Both have flaws but its the gaming that matters to me. I will most likely buy both the consoles because I find that the exclusives are very hard to choose between. Microsoft has improved its standing in the eyes of many gamers but Gamers are called GAMErs because that is what it comes down to now. THE GAMES!
