InEntertainment: "Regardless of Microsoft’s U-turn over the used games and always-on restrictions, we get the impression from many gamers that the PS4 is just about edging it in the battle of the next-gen consoles. But one blogger is trying to justify why the Xbox One might beat the Sony PS4 when it comes to wining over the masses.
As we look into reasons why this perspective has arose, it’s worth mentioning that the reversal of Microsoft’s anti-consumer DRM policies concerning the Xbox One has evened up the score, as the PS4 seemed liked a much more attractive proposition prior to this. Highlighting a few reasons why the Xbox One could accumulate more custom Beta News discusses how Microsoft’s playing the long game with a system that is not only a games machine but also a family entertainment theatre.
They acknowledge hardware specs alone will not be a deciding factor when it comes to the Xbox One vs. PS4 war."
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
Between its innovative puzzles, impressive presentation, and undefeated vibes, Cocoon needs to be experienced on Xbox Game Pass and beyond.
A remake of MediEvil 2 may be getting shadow dropped at the rumored PlayStation Showcase or State of Play presentation in May, 2024.
What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.
Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.
My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).
I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder
Really, it depends on what experience you're after. Both consoles look impressive and whilst MS has really struggled with a lot of flak that it received with the X1, the console itself is turning out to be an impressive piece of kit.
For me, the user interface and online elements are the key decision. It is what made me, and my friends pick the X1 as the primary gaming device at this stage. Things like Skype intergration, Twitch TV support and promise of dedicated servers are attractive to us. MS has a much better track record in the online game space as far as we're concerned.
But, the thing is, Sony appear to have learnt from their mistakes and their UI and online features might even surpass that of the X1 so that's something we need to see. Hopefully we can get a hands-on at Gamescom.
But the console race is quite competitive, contrary to what many are trying to depict.
Thinking of this as Xbox One success vs PS4 failure and vice versa, is just two dimensional. It doesn't really serve any purpose.
I'm still going PS4
Sales-wise it won't be close. PS4 will own worldwide this gen.
This doesn't mean that the WiiU or the X1 won't be good consoles in themselves over time. Sony just has too many good things going for them right now all at once and at the right time.

Oh gawd... another fanboy bait article. Is there anything worth reading anymore?! I can't wait for these consoles to come out so these "PS4 vs XBOX 1" articles will disappear for a while.
