Gamebrit writes: "Back in May Microsoft’s Xbox One was unveiled at a special media event, bringing with it a number of ill-favoured key policies, such as enforced Digital Rights Management (DRM), a compulsory Kinect camera and a £429 price tag (the latter of which was announced at E3). As a result of these unpopular decisions Sony’s PlayStation 4 quickly became the leading ‘next-gen’ choice in many gamers minds.
However, a lot has changed since then, with us now arriving at a point where things are a lot more even. So, with the playing field levelling out, does it really matter which ‘side’ you pick?"

Hopefully everybody will just focus on playing their new systems and finally shutup. At least for a while.

Killer Instinct
Ryse
Killzone: Shadowfall etc.
They suck you in with third party exclusive games in the beginning, once they have they couldn't give a toss as their newer shinier toy is on the horizon
People have short memories it's deja vue for a third time
No thank you Microsoft I'll stick with the ps3 which still has new ips coming out and buy the ps4 when I've finished
Shut up. People like you made this site go down low. I could give you million reasons why you got short memory about sony but I won't. Go figure yourself and get lost. As you see this article is written for people who buy their own toys.
People spend a few hundred bucks on a game and expect a decade of support...
I'd say that Microsoft only started abandoning the 360 after Horizon, Halo 4 and the latest Gears around march this year (although there's still a flux of indie XBLA games).
Sony still offers quality games and will probably continue into at least early 2014, but they started offering the console and their games one year later as well.
So overall Xbox 360 2005-2013 VS PS3 2006-2014. Both offered around 8 years of quality games, which is more than I can say about any previous generation since the NES era.
For me the next 12 months is about the Wiiu and Xbox one and I will pick a ps4 up later on next year.
thats a weak attempt bro, everyone knows the focus is on the new consoles, thats exactly where i want to see MS focus their attention right now.
im having plenty of fun catching up on games i missed, and looking forward to fable anniversary as being my farewell to the 360.
Dumbest thing I've heard today. Seriously! Grow up fanboy.
Where have you been the last 4 months?
Yeah it was kinda "dumb" - by Microsoft.
Just like many governments of this world, we only care about you when it will ensure will we win office in the election and once we get into office we do what we want!
Typical comment from somebody who joined 9 days ago. Did you start gaming 9 days ago?
None of it ever happened.. And even if it did, its not ruining gaming.. In any way shape or form..
You continue to ignore every single benefit of those policies and act like they were just put their to screw people.. If you haven't noticed.. Microsoft doesn't make billions of dollars a year by ruining the internet and your home office!
Let's all forget about Sony removing Linux support after selling the feature.. Or the cinava protection blocking playback of movies or how about just losing my credit card number??
Let's talk about shit that actually happened!
Its pathetic.. You need to stop but I know you won't.. Nothing better to do..
I bet the guys at Microsoft are laughing their heads off now.
It'll take a long time before i trust them again.
If you dont understand why forced policies and control over your potential consumers is a bad thing then i guess youre kind of slow.
Sony has had it's faults I do agree, but the writing has been on the wall with Microsoft for years, the Xbox One controversy just shined a giant light on what people have long suspected.
Damn scammers/hackers are #or at least were# selling gold accounts.. AND BTW, our psn accounts were free, but GOLD ACCOUNTS been sold were paid for poor guys that lost money.
And btw check on the people that was telling that they couldnt take their credit cards from autorenew with MS #ms playing around to keep the autorenew#. Add that to people that is selling gold accounts, thats a great combo..
Maybe Microsoft will win you over eventually but if not I'm sure Sony will be glad to have you onboard :)
Fanboy X: Well, so and so have THIS game a *insert great score here*!
Fanboys P: Look at the Metacritic! This game got a *score*!
Fanboys X: Oh yeah, well this game has better textures. *Insert performance site here* said so!
Rinse and repeat. Sometimes, their roles get reversed, and Fanboy P says Fanboys X's line, and vice versa. This will repeat next gen, the gen after that, and every gen after that. You can never win if you only have one.
Why waste your time, people need to enjoy their own consoles/purchases and stop being insecure/needing justification about their own
I admit I am taking a gamble on the PS4 but like any punter I read up on form and stats and make an educated informed decision before laying my bucks on the table!
To continue the analogy, I know I'll be playing in a more upscale facility with clean smoke free rooms and an all you can eat buffet that contains premium delicacies for a reasonable price, rather than choosing the casino down the road that has an expensive cover just to get in and do anything and tons of billboards plastered all over the place. And for some odd reason there is a surveillance camera in the corner of every hotel room.
Bammmmmm you just got bubbled! ;)
Yeah that's only true for those with a Wonka Golden ticket (read: sold-out Preorder). The rest will have to wait.

I chose PS4. I win.
If you choose X1, you lose.
MS is bringing the DRM back.
Proof:Im going to cut and paste an interesting article from the Guardian, PrOOF, MS are sneaky and bringing DRM back after people buy X1
" We're committed to the digital ecosystem that we
talked about at the beginning of Xbox One.
Absolutely. That's why I wanted to be clear on
what you were referring to with the word
'reversal'. Other people have tried to twist this a
little bit, but it's important that we remain in a
two-way dialogue with gamers and potential
customers about what they would like to see.
Consoles today are as much a service as they are
an individual purchase – our commitment through
Xbox Live and updating the software and keeping
the games coming is a long-term service
commitment. The service gets better through
direct feedback with the people who are using it.
What we heard from gamers is that they enjoyed
the physical DRM they had with the 360
ecosystem and they wanted to add that to Xbox
One. So we added physical DRM to the digital
DRM plan that we had. When we did that, maths
takes over and some things had to move out. But
the core of that digital ecosystem is absolutely
something that we believe in, and we haven't
reversed it. You'll be able to buy games as
physical and digital goods, you'll be able to share
games with everybody in your house, and other
features that we talked about will definitely be
coming down the line."
Source, read it on the site. DRM is coming back down the line!

For me personally though and i mean this for ME PERSONALLY. I win more with the PS4 because it suits me and my gaming needs. I am sure it is the same the other way around for xbox fans that are brought up with xbox franchise.
This does not mean i don't support the console wars though. I love debating. It's important though that both sides don't be assholes while at it. Its all good and fun.
Game on people.
If somebody says they are getting an Xbox One, PlayStation drones flood the replies with "You're fucking stupid for supporting M$. They are bringing DRM back"
Why can't you children let gamers enjoy what they enjoy. Not everybody likes Killzone more than Ryse, or Killer Instinct more than inFAMOUS...
