PS4 vs Xbox One: which is better?

The launches of Xbox One and PS4 are imminent, as both next-generation consoles are about to go toe-to-toe.

[fluffydelusions]

PS4

[Relientk77]

I wholeheartedly agree

[BadboyCivic]

Been a Xbox 360 owner but the facts are the facts and PS4 is the better machine. Now my only question is how to get a PS4 at launch without a pre-order?

[mikeslemonade]

Xbox One is better.. XD

[ziggurcat]

@ badboy:

go to places that people wouldn't normally think about going to get their console.

for example, in canada, you would probably easily find a PS4 at a london drugs, shoppers drug mart or superstore.

[ShinMaster]

The PS4 is undeniably the better console, technically.

But which ever is best for you is dependent on preference, like certain games and friends who will own one as well.

6 DAYS!!!!!

[BG11579]

You lucky guys/girls!!!

[4lc4pon3]

+bubble for being intelligent. PS4 nuff said

[Utalkin2me]

Gotta love rhetorical titles...

[IRON883]

PS4 baby!!!!

[Lwhit6]

Oh and just thought id share this...

Recently when i was on a chat with an amazon representative I asked her when i would be charged for my ps4. She said on the 13th of november when it would ship. I asked her if i could get it early by any chance and she said once it ships you should be able to contact the carrier and get it early.

I live 30 minutes away from the warehouse in Fernley where the PS4's are and i might be able to get it on the 13th!

[Boody-Bandit]

Be careful not to take it online before the 15th. You might get banned. Oh wait........

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You will be one lucky mofo to get it even a day early. I haven't been this excited for a new generation since the PS2. Camped out 2 nights straight and was the 2nd in line Best Buy. So glad I don't have to do that again. It was a blast but I'm too old for that sh*t now.

[cooperdnizzle]

Brutally honest. You haven't been this excited for a new gen since the ps2. Woahh man one hole generation. J/K Just thought that was kinda funny. Being there has only been one gen since the ps2. Lol.

[Boody-Bandit]

13 years is a long time.
When the PS launched in Japan I rented one from an electronics shop and after playing it a couple hours I imported one from Japan. I imported several games they had out at the time. So when the PS launched in America I already played most of the games by importing them from Japan so I wasn't too excited to get one then.

I've been gaming since pong so I owned every console except the virtual boy. I wasn't really that excited for the 360 and was a little set back by the PS3's hefty price tag.

The PS2 was my most anticipated console of all time when it released. My 2nd favorite launch was the SNES. So yeah 13 years passed, gave you a little glimpse into my history and here we are. The PS2 was my favorite overall launch and I actually want the PS4 even more.

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

The console that doesnt do year 2002 resolution.

[megalonagyix]

I wouldn't come up with resolutions as 1080p is pretty much the past as well.

[PixelKnot]

PS4 is my choice as well. I was thinking about switching back to PlayStation after the 360 even before the new consoles were even revealed.

The huge amount of mistakes Microsoft have made with the One have made the final decision much easier. Even with the DRM gone, I don't want the Kinect. Forza 5 is pretty much the only game that interests me, but the amount of content it has in comparison with past Forza titles is rather disappointing.

Here's some of the PS4 games that I'm definitely getting:

- Rime
- Resogun
- DriveClub
- Killzone Shadowfall
- Infamous Second Son
- The Order 1886
- Transistor
- Kingdom Hearts III (multiplat)
- Final Fantasy XV (multiplat)
And maybe Witcher 3.

[Ezz2013]

Ps4 is just the Better system all round

[mrnice]

looking forward to you guys getting it first let us no if the lag has been sorted out on ghosts and battlfield.

[bornsinner]

slightly more powerful... but no games... you can count pixels on it tho

[GreenRanger]

I'm getting both. I prefer the PS4 over the Xbox One, though.

[Lwhit6]

I'd hate to be your wallet.

[cooperdnizzle]

It's only 900 bucks. People act like consoles cost the price of a house or car or something.

[tanis_halfelven]

@cooper

Bro in this economy thats alot of cash

[rainslacker]

That's a lot of cash in any economy.

[-Foxtrot]

I'll get both....once Microsoft release a Kinect-less Xbox One bundle in the far future.

No point giving a company who has f***** up since the reveal my money on day one. It would send out the wrong type of message

[JodyCones]

I really have no interest in the Xbone. I'm getting the PS4 day 1! And I'm going to save up for a PC as well instead, it's a way better investment than the xbone honestly. You can get labtops than run better than the xbone! Hahaha. And steam has great deals and amazing games. Can't wait to get my PS4 though!!

[Rockstar]

I've learned you should sit back for a few months when it comes to MS consoles, see whats gonna pop up.

[KrisButtar]

I'm planning on getting both but I only pre-ordered a PS4. It will be a year or 2 before I get a X1, after the exclusives add up. I waited till E3 to see which one I wanted 1st and then Microsoft made it easy with its DRM. 99% of the games I play and like are 3rd party games. Last gen I bought most of them on the 360 and this gen it looks like I will be buying them on the PS4.

[Khajiit86]

Same here im hoping for 2014 holiday season they sell a kinectless version for 300 usd. I do not want a gaming camera, virtual reality? Yes. Motion? No. I do not want to yell or waive my hands the controller is good enough.

[KrisButtar]

As much as you and others want a Kinectless bundle, I just don't see it happening at all. Even after the launch their if there sales were nonexistent. I would see them dropping the price even below $300 and just taking a bigger loss per sale before they take the Kinect from the bundle. Kinect is just to integrated.

What features are left if they removed the Kinect from the bundle?

[rainslacker]

I'll probably get a X1 once the Kinect can be used with a PC. I enjoy programming for the thing oddly enough. That's of course if the Kinect isn't available separately by then.

Otherwise, PS4 day one, and lots of PS3 exclusive titles coming out into next year should keep me occupied.

[KrisButtar]

If I could understand programming you can bet I would be tinkering around with it. I can build houses from the foundation to the roof and do everything in between but programming just escapes me.

I'm going to the PS4 midnight launch, its my 1st time going to one. The game I wanted was delayed (WatchDogs.) I bought Ghosts and another controller as I wanted a local multiplayer game to go along with AC4.

The stores around here, still don't have X1 kiosks yet and I want to get some hands on with their new controller as the DS4 is truly impressive.

[Enemy]

PS4 is the only console I've ever preordered.

[GiggMan]

That's funny, me too.

I use to enjoy the thrill of the hunt but I'm getting older lol.

[Rockstar]

me three

[scott182]

Ps4 is the only console I ever wanted to pre order, I missed my chance :(

[teedogg80]

PS4 is the first console I will be getting on day one.

[SoulSercher620]

PS4 wins in power AND value

[BOLO]

Oxygen or carbon monoxide: Which is better?

[NeloAnjelo]

Real vs Pretend... ? Real please!

[DEEBO]

If you're trying to play some of the best games made you have to do multiple systems.
I already have the wiiu and a few more days the ps4,the x1 will be pickup too just not on release day.i can wait until a price drop.

[cyhm3112]

Let me tell you what, xbone won't have many exclusives after its launch, it might have some mediocre ones, but very few great ones if any. They won't sell enough consoles to make a profit. If they don't make a profit, they can't afford to buy exclusives like they are doing now. They have to be responsible to their investors. I somehow can see a disaster. They will lose more money and sell the xbox division one year after launch. If you buy the machine, what would happen? Look at dreamcast.

[u got owned]

Oh boy... The blindness is strong on this one.

[ExDexteraDomini]

Better in what way? They've both got their strong points. These articles are too general. You can't have one machine simply and completely "better" than the other when they're made to cater to different consumers.

[mcstorm]

I agree and its not which one is the best as they both have + and - points. For me the Xbox one fits my needs and gaming side at launch as it has more games I want on day one then the ps4 but for gaming the wiiu is the stand out console over the next few months as it has more games I want and have pre ordered over the other two.

I will pick a ps4 up over the next 12 months though.

But I wish people would stop with mine is better than yours attitude as it is your opinion and someone else has and is in there own right to have a different opinion to anyone else as long as they are not saying mine is better than yours.

At the end of the day of you buy a wiiu, Xbox one or ps4 this is because you want the console you bought and you will be happy with your choice just like everyone else will be happy with there's

[Arnon]

They're catering to the same consumers. That's why they're in the same market competing against each other.

Better is relevant to a number of things, such as which games you prefer, which online service you prefer, which controller you prefer, which company background you prefer, etc.

However in terms of speaking strictly about the consoles, with which one having more bang for your buck, one can be, and IS better than the other.

[sickamore]

I'm tired of seeing these same type of articles over and over it f@cking annoying I swear can people stop with these articles already I'm getting a PS4 not because it could be better. But because I want one for my own personal reason and not to glorify it to the world. Just let people decided on their own what they want and their reasons why.

[rulakir]

If you can afford to get both then get both. The gamers always win. If not then get the console of your choice. See, that was easy.

[JodyCones]

It's just a waste of money paying for two subscriptions this time around on top of my bills, etc. And Sony gives more value. PS4 day 1!

[alexkoepp]

Xbox One, day one

I'll get a PS4 when they have some games worth playing

[Khajiit86]

Lol because dead rising 3 is soo amazing. The first 2 were ok but way too repetitive. Theres a lot of zombies, a lot of really dumb and easy to kill zombies, and you do not have to really kill them you could just run thru because you wont kill them all anyways, I did that once the game got really boring.. boss fights werent bad.

[alexkoepp]

I find ryse, dead rising, and forza to be a much better lineup than knack and killzone. To each his own I guess and I could care less about indie games, not even sure what indies will be available on either console, to me they are just like games for your phone - fun for 10 minutes.

Knack is a childs game, and the multiplatform shooter offerings are better than killzone, which is nothing more than eye candy, and ryse looks on par or better than killzone anyways

[AceofStaves]

PS4 is my choice. The Xbox One has nothing that interests me. It's subjective.

[urwifeminder]

Xboxone for me no contest for my cash if I can tear myself of pc and race 07 online long enough.

[Max-Zorin]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[NukaCola]

GTFO! Max the Internet is no place for logic, respect and common sense,,,/s

no lol. I kid. Well said simply +1

[TristanPR77]

Definitely the PS4. The xbone is an inferior console without an identity. PS4 brings the most powerful next gen experience while the xbone is just more of the same, kinect, TV and sports.

[GoodnessGreatness]

PS4. Save money, Play better.

[PS4isKing_82]

Just played the Xbox one at my local Microsoft store earlier today. First off I was immediately shocked how small the new controller actually is in person. It feels very amazing in my hands. It's actually about the same size as the dual shock 4. Second they had killer instinct and forza 5 to try out. I tried forza 5 and fell instantly in love with it. The handling, the graphics, the sounds, the blinding sun in your eyes, everything about it has impressed me very much. Yes, I'm a hardcore Sony fan but after today, experiencing it firsthand, wow what an eye opener. Yes the console is a little big and bulky as reported, but the feel of the controller made me a believer right away.

Microsoft has made huge improvements lately and today it really showed. I'm proud to say I'm a very excited future owner of the Xbox one to go along with my wii u and ps4.

[Automatic79]

Damn bro you getting me hyped for November 22. I will also get PS4 but in about 2 years when the games I really want come out.

[PS4isKing_82]

Lol I'm getting myself hyped lol it felt amazing tonight being around other ppl all happy and excited talking about the Xbox as we played it. There was no stupid fanboy talk, just honest enjoyment for the console and forza.

What was even cooler was the microsoft employee that helped me was an old high school classmate of mine from 2000. So it was cool running into her and playing Xbox at the same time. Now I'm just hoping I can find an Xbox one in two weeks lol :D

[KERV0RKIAN]

The one the you the consumer buys is the best one for them!SIMPLE...

[re2_apocalypse]

PS4 hands down ^^ Its the much better system that's built for gamers by gamers. The exclusives will always be superior as well on the Sony platform(s), and having that extra power is much preferred over the Cablebox 720p xD

[nashedpotatosbro]

why the hell would you wanna buy something that is $500 and is the exact same crap they just sold you when you can buy a $500 all in 1 entertainment system?! why?! xbox one all da way!

[SoulSercher620]

The PS4 is $400. If you're gonna troll, actually know your facts.

[nashedpotatosbro]

xbox servers are shit tonne better so why would you want to wait on your multiplayer when you dont have to wait with the xbox one?!

[nashedpotatosbro]

4 letters. halo.

[MasterCornholio]

Two words.

Naughty Dog

Anyways have fun playing your game from Bungie wanabes while I enjoy Destiny from the fathers of the series. Oh and you can get Destiny as well since your a fan of Bungie games.

See you on the dark side of the moon.

OT: It has to be PS4 for me since it will have extensive 1st party support from Sony and I love the franchises from Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica and Ready at Dawn.

Nexus 7 2013

[PS4isKing_82]

Who here has actually held the new Xbox one controller? Just curious:D personally I'm in love with it after holding it today.

[DivineAssault]

PS4 100%..

[NewAgeisHere]

Im getting a PS4, but I still think it's too early to be talking about which console is better.Let's wait and see.

[SaveFerris]

Ketchup or Catsup?

[Goku781]

PS4

[TheXD305]

Xbox one is way better than PS4, more innovative too

[NeoTribe]

Could there be a more obvious flame baiting article?

[Ocsta]

500 buckazoids for weaker hardware and worse exclusives? Where do I sign? Shut up and take my money! Etc etc /s

[Naughty__Boy]

PS4 vs Xbox One: which is better? the one you prefer

[_FantasmA_]

Do we really need 924 articles of "Why PS4 is better than Xbox One," "Why you should wait on buying a next gen console," etc. I mean one or two articles is fine but 922 articles later I think we've covered all possibilities. PS4 is better than PSnOne but if some Xbots still haven't woken up from their false realities, its too late. Greatness is less than a week away.

[GamerPS360]

I like shooter games and console controller just plain sucks for it.
So, no go for me on either one until xim comes out for next gen :)
But, if games like Last of US comes out, I will buy either one of them anyway.

[JessiePinkmanYo]

The console that YOU choose. Different strokes for different folks. Me? All the above including Wii U

[LiarasBoobs]

PS4 = $400. Xbone = $500.
Nuff said.
