Xbox One or Sony PS4: Which One is Right For You?

The next generation Xbox and Playstation are just around the corner now, with November quickly sneaking up on us. This leaves us to wonder, which is the right system for you?

[Thepharaoh]

PS4. Kameo 2 herself would have to be released for me to even consider purchasing the xbox one

[abzdine]

starts with P ends with 4. Do you need more clues?

[mewhy32]

Greatness Awaits and U R NOT(red)E

PS4 preordered and for the first launch ever I will be there at Midnight to wait for my console. Assuming my Gamestop will have a midnight launch. Otherwise I will be there when they open. My kids and I are very excited. It feels like the excitement of the PS2 days are back.

[-Superman-]

If i had more money, then both consoles, but because my choice is limited, then PS4
Well, Xbox One is not that bad, some Kinect games looks good(dont hate, i playing controller and controller free games, also on PC) but Microsoft screwed with price, and kinda stuff.

[TrevorPhillips]

PS4

[JunioRS101]

My body is ready.

Greatness Awaits.

[Insomnia_84]

Sold to PS4!!

[Intentions]

Both

[iamnsuperman]

Don't be a wimp. You must choose. GOD DAM IT CHOOOOOOSSSSEEEE /s

[vikingland1]

Both for me.

[flappersack]

PS4 day one. XBone later on.

[ZodTheRipper]

PS4 day 1, WiiU probably later on for me primary for Zelda and Smash Bros.

[MorfiTM]

If my financial situation will allow it i will choose both. There are and will be some PlayStation exclusives I would like to play and this situation is also true with Xbox.
I'm just sick and tired of these articles which want to gain a few free hits using the controversial topic of "console wars". You want PS4? I feel you bro. You would want a X1? I also understand your decission. But stop these childish wars and remember why we buy those consoles - to have a fun time playing games.

[Patrick]

Oh come on. I honestly think its good for the industry to have this competition .. yeah we root for our chosen team much as sports fans do, but in the end we all want whats best for Gaming in general. If we are hard on one console over another is because of the business tactics used by said console maker that we fear could set dangerous standards for the gaming industry as a whole if they succeed.

I love my original xbox and still play it even though I dont and didnt care for MS when I bought it. I am playing a wait and see for Xbone due to the decisions MS has made so far this next gen, but I am not counting it out just yet.

I am a gamer, and will spend my gaming money as a vote of confidence in whichever console I have confidence in, and right now that isn't Xbone. But that could always change. Its just that so far I do not feel Sony has let me down on anything of major importance. I am a bit paranoid of MS as they tend to have a major control freak issue and seem to want more and more control to monopolize and charge for any and everything they possibly can. I am a fan of choice and options. MS doesnt like choice and options. They tend to want to be the only option even when its bad for the industry and it is ALWAYS bad for the industry to have only one option.

[izumo_lee]

I am a big fan of very niche Japanese JRPGs. Playstation platforms over the years has always delivered these games to the fans of these types. Since the news of the PhyreEngine will be continued to be used for the PS4 there is a good chance i will be able to play more of these games on the system.

The XBone will be a popular system no doubt & those who choose it good on them. For me Sony is all about variety of experiences ever since they began in this industry & it will be no different with the PS4. That is why it will be the system for me.

[ramtah]

Ps4

[Jeff257]

For me PS4 only in my house. Sony just has proven time and time again that they can keep bringing the exclusive titles I want and of course the third parties will bring awesome multiplats. Much like the 360 I don't think the XBOX One will have any exclusives that will be a must have for me.

[Sarobi]

Both seem right for me. I just don't have the money to drop on two consoles and games for each device.. PS4 is a day one for me.

[Geezus]

xbox1 at launch more than likely.

[B-radical]

Yusm got my day one pre ordered

[imt558]

PS4 FTW! I just want to record 15 min. of gameplay.:)

[outsider1624]

my avatar....

[WarThunder]

PS4 = Exclusives (first party studios)
PC = Multiplatform.

[MasterCornholio]

PS4 for me.

Motorola RAZR i

[XisThatKid]

To answer this question i have to say PS4 without a doubt. I have 2plus years of plus left, franchises i love and care about with dynamic and interesting characters I've grown with and love. Not to mention I'm very interested with the DS4 new features. I personally prefere the DS over the Xbox controller. Glad they didn't change the lay out. Besidee, if the sticks were asymmetric how would you get to the touch pad without convenience? Oh If possible I'd like never buy AA batteries again.

The line up is great for launch window. I have time invested in th Killzone, Infamous, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Jak, LBP, and variouse other exclusive franchises.

That all bings me to my next point, I have great faith that Sony will pull through on making tons of new and awesome franchises and IP's Indy and eclectic styles. Variety is key this time around.

Free games, game streaming and recording, Blu ray playing online interaction, Swapable HDD, Movie bonuses, and more for 400$. Nothing forced down my throat. My gaming world revolves around much more than bro-shooters and FPS games. I know there's others out there on X1 but what's the most tslked about especially outa their exclusives. I also have my friends to consider, it appears A LOT of people will have the PS4 out of the gate along with majority of the world and most of my personal friends.

Oh, and I have a Vita, so can't wait to see what I can do. Plus it be like sacrilege to vote Xbox while posting with my Vita (lol jk) not really) PlayStations fans future looks too bright to even have a blind eye too it. PS 4 me PLZ.

[n4rc]

Holy crap.. A logical and lengthy write up on your preference without feeling the need to bash Xbox..

Good for you.. Lol.. +bubbles

[PimpDaddy]

The correct answer is whichever console gives you the best value. Value=Subjective. I will own the PS4/WiiU/XB1 eventually.

If I could only choose one console right now then it would be the XB1. I just prefer the exclusives on XB1. The controller. And XBox Live service.

But again I'm only stating my preference!!!

[Thegamer41]

I can understand someone liking Xbox Ones launch line up more but to say you prefer the controller and the Live service is just not justifiable.
New controllers and improvements to both online services (None of which we know of) that im sure not many have tested out, so you cannot say you prefer one over the other in those departments.

[PimpDaddy]

And why can't I??? I'm going on current gen console experience. I own both a 360 and PS3 so I'm pretty sure I am experienced enough to make up my own mind. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't prefer?

I already know I will like the XB1 controller more than the DS4 for the pure fact that I prefer the analog stick placement and the triggers on the current 360 controller over the DS3. Are you going to tell me that I can't prefer the XB1 because it is using a refined 360 controller?

Probably the only unknown is the online gaming service. But I do know I prefer how XBL looks and feels over PSN. So again I will ask. Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot prefer???

[Thegamer41]

you can keep saying what you like, but the fact is you don't know how they "Look and feel". Only ignorant and naive people will say the stuff you are saying, and no its not opinion until you try both. You cannot compare these things to last gen consoles because they are simply not the same... (other than the analog placements which has also been tweaked)but keep spewing BS and claiming its "opinion".

[LoveOfTheGame]

It's now ignorant to make an educated decision based on past experience/data collection.

Better call every research university and tell them they are doing it wrong.

Go back under your bridge.

[Elda]

Tax time it will definitely be a PS4 still have to finish playing..now & upcoming games on the PS3,I will be saying the same thing about the PS4 when the PS5 comes out because Sony always supports their console with exclusive games till the end.Playstation 4 me!

[Furi17]

PS4 unless you are a Texas redneck that likes to watch handegg matches yelling to the TV, then the new Dreamc... I mean the new Xbox.

[ZodTheRipper]

lol bubblez

[LoveOfTheGame]

It's called a football, but handegg made me laugh for some odd reason lol.

[rigbybot127]

Xbox One at launch, and a PS4 within the next two years. The Xbox One's tech fascinates me more, and it has some pretty interesting games coming out on and around launch day, not the least of which is Titanfall. The PS4, unfortunately, only has one launch title that fascinates me, and that is Knack. Will wait till a Ratchet or Naughty Dog game is announced, and then I'll get a PS4.

[SynestheticRoar]

I'm a straight baller. I already have a killer PC. Now I want only the best exclusives. PS4 for me, and maybe a WiiU for the family.

[Mikelarry]

still ps4 for me nothing has changed

[TimeSkipLuffy]

PS4 because 400€ is the limit I want to spend for a next gen console. And I get a free game. I won't buy any games at start. Too expensive for me or I just want to spent so much money to play it right away. Still got plenty of games to play anyway... and social life and such XD...
And since I already have a PS3 and a Vita and PS+ it only makes sense to invest in the PS4.
XB1 will be bought once it's cheaper and the line of real exclusive games that I like to play keeps piling up. In this gen most of the games I were able to play on my PC :3 though I own a XBOX360 as well XD

[Funantic1]

X1 first. Then I'll buy a PS4 when they release a new Uncharted.

[Galletto3]

Man I wish I could get both, but just like this generation, I probably will never get around to or have the funds for it.

I know I'll get disagrees, but prob the X1 for me. I know that makes me stupid/evil or whatever, but I am going to have fun with it, and thats what matters.

And I hope other people enjoy their console no matter their choice.

[XisThatKid]

Your decision doesn't make you evil or whetever. It may give you disagree's but all thay means is that stangers didn't agree with what you said. P utting a disclaimer on it won't make them any less. Either way you just appear self conscious in a virtual room about an opinion based question with a bunch of opinionated and passionate gamers with internet access.

All in all....best keep your comments untimely fate to the community.

BTW I won't get an X1 most likely but I do agree with what you said about the fun thing and what matters.

[Galletto3]

Nah more like annoyed than self conscious.

Like the user up top who said hes getting an X1 and has a ton of disagrees. Like did strangers not agree that's the console hes going to get? XD

[bellome]

The 4.

[leogets]

more people seem to be heading towards ps4 on an american site.. interesting...

[XisThatKid]

Where have you been?

[tubers]

PS4.

I'm already invested in the Sony platform with the PSP, PSV and PS+.

I'm likely to get an X1 late into its life cycle as I feel confident that Kinect 2.0 will have some interesting or even practical features for more "core gaming" much later on.

[Sub-Zero85]

PS4 of course !

[mrmancs]

Ps4 pre ordered.

[first1NFANTRY]

PS4...variety is Sony's middle name.

[B-radical]

Xbox one launch day yeah boyyyyy

[jessupj]

Well I want a console in which I won't be wondering the whole time, "Is the company that owns my console choice going to continue to release exclusives for it the whole generation? Or just until they get enough early adopters?"

So could someone suggest a console based on said fear of mine. Thank you in advance.

I'm not trying to troll, it's a legitimate concern of mine and I just can't understand why so many people are disregarding this issue when it's probably the most important factor when deciding which console to buy.

[Jakens]

I would say that there is a vast market for both systems. I have never had a major problem with either. When you decide to buy a console and not buy the other, you will love what you get. I don't believe there is a wrong choice. Not with 360 compared to PS3 and certainly not with Xbox One compared to PS4. You may not have to pick a system today but you can in no way pick a bad system. Like I said you will love what you get. Sincerely good luck.

[n4rc]

I disagree.. Multiplatform games are the biggest sellers per platform and the most popular..

Exclusives are for some.. But games like bf4 or destiny are going to be the big draw..

[Hicken]

But people don't actually buy consoles for multiplatform games because... well, because they're on both platforms.

People buy a particular console for its exclusive library.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

Only Sony continues to support their systems even after they release a new system, M$ drops their systems when new ones are on the horizon with xbox and 360 as proof of this fact.

[Kayant]

Overall Ps4 but I currently prefer Xbox one exclusives. However, from looking at this gen and seeing the variety sony has provided I know there is more to come that I will like. Am in it for the long game ;)

The spec sheet is a bit off. Both consoles have the right spec sheets published everywhere like so for the ps4 ---> http://uk.ign.com/wikis/pla...
and so for the Xbox one http://uk.ign.com/wikis/xbo... but this is less needed as it is mostly right compared to the Ps4's. The only thing we don't truly know is the GPUs used.

[HeroReborn]

Although MS has had a rough start projecting there vision for the future the console, but its going to be the one for me (no pun intended.) The Ps4 price point is extremely tempting, but for me it's not just the games, but the shared experience with my friends on Xbox live of the last 7 years. I belive that Ps4 gamers will experience this feeling of connection. Due to having to pay for the online connectivity for games along with cross gaming chat.

[etownone]

Xbox One - Day One.

The whole package seems more next gen with the features they include and I'm siked for their launch games and exclusives.
The new Kinect and Cable top box ready are just extra icing on the cake.

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

I'll be supporting the company who didn't try to DRM first the consumers, thanks.

[worldwidegaming]

Stupid game. We all know the answer.
Ps3=water
Xbone=cheap liquor

Your stuck on a on island for a week...

[Jakens]

What!?

[ZeV]

PS4 By far ! XNoxOne and Microsoft are so bad...

[AceofStaves]

PS4. I've enjoyed Sony's consoles since the original Playstation. XB1 doesn't suit my gaming style and preferences.

[HurtfulTimez]

PS4.... then if MS sorts its games and hardware (no removable hdd?! pfft!) out and brings me games what really suck me into them and stop making games where im just shooting my way out of them then maybe i will purchase an xbox one in the future at the moment though xb1 is on the back burner for me.

[Jakens]

Some would say it's burning all right. /s

[True_Samurai]

X1 since it offers great games, kinect, and new INNOVATING console TV integration. Basically it can handle all of my entertainment needs

[BlaqMagiq24]

PS4 of course

[ovnipc]

Xbox One. And soon change that from 8GB to 12GB.

[Smootherkuzz]

Xbox 1 all the way. fan ok yes ever since day 1. All I can say is have fun what ever choice you make or do both whatever gives you your gaming fix.

[n4rc]

Xbox on launch.. Ps4 later

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

PS4 is the only system for my household

[latincooker214]

PS4 FTW:)

[deadie]

One PS4 for me, one PS4 for my wife.

(plus 2 copies of Battlefield 4.)

[XisThatKid]

Same here both pre ordered and paid for our baby is due the same in nov so gotta get all outa the way now lol.

[latincooker214]

[o-Sunny-o]

I love PS4 already so I'm getting it. ^~^ 100$ cheaper I can spend towards on a game and another DS4 control.
