The german website ps4insider.de has summarized why the british magazin Edge thinks the PS4 is the only option for next-gen gamer.
The original website is in german.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "Thanks to the recent PlayStation Store promotion, these seven games with discounted pricing are worth a shot any day of the week."
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "PlayStation's recent bug is a critical reminder of just how uncertain digital games are, and why physical media and ownership are crucial."
And now that discs can hold an entire library of games there's no need for digital licenses.
I always go physical unless it's something that will never get released on disc like some small indie game that will never get a physical release.
Always go physical when you can. Let this be a lesson. Digital is more convenient but has serious cons.
I’m always physical on console and wish I could be on PC. Thankfully Steam handles licenses better than most digital stores. Even if the game gets pulled from the store for some reason it’s still available to me to download.
I always buy physical when available. Unless it’s the 1.99 snow mobile game I bought digitally last week. If I’m making an expensive purchase it’s always been a physical copy I can put in my library
Because it's the best console for the best price. I could list the reasons, but we all already know them. The PS4 is the best console and everyone agrees. It's hurts some peoples feelings, but that doesn't stop it from being true. End of story.
It's the only option (right now) because it's the only safe bet. There's so much turmoil going on within Microsoft and within the Xbox division, not to mention the PR nightmare they're cleaning up, not to mention they're scrambling to get the Xbox One out the door and the ones who will suffer will be early adopters.
Sure, Xbox One might one day be worth the money for some people, but PS4 is the only safe, rational bet right now. Xbox One is a gamble, pure and simple.
If you like Kinect games and chatting through Kinect in a room full of kids...Xbox is the one for you.
However if you like Free to play games (blocked on XBOX) Indie games (closed publishing on XBOX) New and reinvent IPS (The Last Of Us, Beyond 2 souls, Drive club, The Order 1886, New IP from GG) And upgradeable Hard disk ( Locked to the 500 gb on XBOX and its not enough... trust me!) And the best exclusives on consles (GOW, GT, TLOU, INFAMOUS, Shadowfall, Little big planet,) plus free games every month with the potential to rival steam with Gaiki and... steam on console. With the greatest hand held console integration ever(sorry Nintendo)
Also the addition of games that allow cross platform play with the PC (WARFRAME) AND a touchpad for RPGS & Playstation Eye with a keypad coming soon... Its the next best thing to a keyboard in mouse (Although not as good) All at a lower price and loaded with extra free games? Then there is only one choice... The Playstation 4
Because of the perspective of the writer of that article.
People all have different perspectives and tastes, and that what ultimately moves you into buying your console of choice.
I can perfectly understand that people think, hey, i like the sony games, and its a 100 cheaper.
But other people like me think, i like the MS games, sure its a 100 more, but i want to play the games that interest me.
Truth be told, main reason why XboxOne isn`t a consideration for me is because my room is way too small for kinect. Why would I buy the console if I wouldn`t be able to use a critical function of it?
