Will Xbox One rule out PS4 before Next Generation consoles come out?

Microsoft changed its policy to show that they do listen to criticism. But is that enough for Microsoft to retain the championship or will the already popular PS4 retake the title that once belonged to the PS2?

Microsoft has earned prestigious position this generation and has recently shown that they're are willing to defend their title for the next-generation. E3 may be over but the war is far from finished.

[xHeavYx]

"Whether you choose to accept it or not Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was the dominate console this generation"
What!? How..!? I don't even....
The 360 was more "popular" because it was cheaper, came out earlier and was easier to develop for. The field is more even now, but the Xbox pissed off the hardcore, forces Kinect on everyone and it's $100 more expensive.
This guy even compares the free games you get with Gold to the games you get with PS+. Then he goes to talk about how great achievements are, beacuse everyone knows that's a defining feature.
"We’re getting a powerful gaming console that incorporates Skype, Netflix, Internet Explorer, Snap, and Kinect 2.0" Yeah, but you know what, there is an even more powerful console coming that focuses on GAMING, not TV, TV, Sports, TV.
"Xbox controller is the best EVA!" That's what you say when you go full retard. No controller is the best, it comes down to personal preference

[komp]

Even the raccoon wants in on this thread:

https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW50...

[YNWA96]

Komp, you going to use that on every article? Looking for attention?

[Dagobert]

Oh shit! I want a racoon, they're awesome.

[AD705]

what's funny is that other than the tv and skype thing the ps4 will do everything else.

[TI_21]

Actually there is still a possibility that the PS4 will in fact offer IPTV.
I wouldn't rule it out per se.

[airgangstarr]

not really is playstation now that theyre chraging u for psn are they gonna make it as good as xbox live ? i doubt it so now ur basically payin for ur free games a month is about all ps+ is good for oh an u can geta the beta for the newest game early yipppeeeee... ur forgettin that xbox has twitch tv ps4 has uplay cmon we all know that gamers use twitch tv .. to me xbox live is what seperates the 2 an u act like oh we jus have skype dude u can be on skype while ur playin titan fall i dont think sony has snap either i can continue but who cares

[nnodley]

@airgangstarr

You have to be a hardcore MS fanboy if you believe Sony will charge for online and not make it as good if not better than xbox live. Get over yourself and keep your dumb opinions that are based off nothing to yourself. And lol at Sony having uplay. Newsflash it's ustream. Oh and we can upload our videos to Youtube and others as well. At least know facts before you spout BS.

Oh wow you can do video chat while playing Titanfall(looks like COD 2.0, IMO). Pretty sure PS4 will be able to too. You act like MS can do things no one else can.

Oh and at least PS4 isn't taking away 3GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores from developers for 3 OS's. Sony put in dedicated hardware to do most of that stuff to not take away any resources for developers. MS already showed me they are incompetent when it comes to hardware and what consumers want. They should stick with software and stop embarrassing themselves

[Ezz2013]

that's the most funny DC from a Gaming Media
i have ever seen

pretty much every single thing in this article either his opinion or flat out wrong

why is it soo hard to them to admit ps4 is "The Only Right Choice" ;)

[Elit3Nick]

I didn't realize your opinion is more important than everyone else's...

[Ezz2013]

@elit3nick

fair enough, tell me why ps4 is not the right choice ?!

in full detail plz

[n4rc]

How bout listening to what people say.. Fanboys only way to argue is to ignore whatever proves their bitching wrong..

I own both.. The 360 was/is waaaaay better in my experience..

Xbl is far beyond psn.. Nobody really argues that except the worst fanboys

But its getting better while psn is pretty much the same.. At least what I've seen

Exclusives are a matter of opinion.. I agree Xbox doesn't have a great record there but I didn't care for killzone, uncharted etc.. Very overrated in my eyes

And all my friends are on Xbox and like me, most own both and we all prefer gaming on the 360..

Why switch? I liked the original Xbox one and thought the outrage was hilarious since I saw nothing that would affect me negatively

So there... I'm no fanboy, I'm a gamer.. If ps4 ends up doing something better I'll end up getting it too.. But Xbox day one

[Kryptix]

@n4rc
lol The PS4 has been doing something better since the start of it's reveal. For example, letting gamers play their games with no restrictions which prompted Microsoft to start changing policies due to poor reception. How is Xbox Live any better than the Playstation Network? Tell me please, you can say party chat then I can say free online access. You can say those new free games they're giving out, I can say Playstation Plus which gives you even more for $50 a year. How is XBL getting better? It's copying what's making Playstation Plus popular. Don't worry, I'll keep your delusional fanboy secret with me. lol

[Ausbo]

@kryptix

Don't even start about the whole copying thing.
Cause where did trophies come from? xbox
What system did online first? Cause im pretty sure sega did, but Microsoft really pioneered online gaming.

quit acting like sony invented the internet, games, and women.

[Caffo01]

@Ausbo

ps2 had online play before the xbox even came out..

[GribbleGrunger]

Whenever you see the word 'dominate', always add the words 'in America'. It makes reading these article a little less stressful lol.

[HammadTheBeast]

Noobfeed living up to its name.

[fermcr]

I think PS4 is going to dominate this generation, and by a long shot. All the crap that Microsoft is taking and a $100 cheaper console is going to make a hell of a difference... and the worst part is that if Microsoft doesn't change their policy regarding Kinect they won't catch Sony in sales any time soon. At the end of 2014 the X1 will probably reach the 400$ mark, but by then the PS4 will reach the 300-350$ mark. Microsoft have to play catch up, and Sony has just to adjust their console price accordingly.

I think sooner or later Microsoft will have to release a X1 without Kinect at the same price (or even less) then the PS4 to compete with Sony...

Well, this is my prediction... i might be wrong !

[NatureOfLogic]

Xbox 360 didn't dominate in games or sales, so how exactly did Xbox 360 become dominate? The Xbox fanboys really give me a good laugh.

[Ezz2013]

they lost in sales and games indeed
i'm still waiting for a an xbox exclusive that can come close to the level of TLOU/Demon Souls.....let alone beat them

[n4rc]

Holy crap.. I'm so fkn sick of that..

Ps3 is in 3rd worldwide.. 75m vs 75.9m for the 360..

Get your info from someone other than biased fan sites

[n4rc]

Uhh.. Yeah.. Hate to burst your fanboy bubble but ps3 is in 3rd in worldwide sales.. Avoid biased fan sites if its the facts your looking for lol

http://arstechnica.com/gami...

[Ezz2013]

@n4rc

ps3 passed xbox long time ago
http://playstation-techzone...

[gravv]

@n4rc

hey tard, this is from the link you posted

'The Xbox 360 and PS3, on the other hand, are both hovering around three-quarters of that amount (75.9 million for the 360 as of March and 75 million even for the PS3 as of December)'

3rd60 is official keep living in your fantasy world.

[pixelsword]

@ GribbleGrunger;

"Less laughable" seems more fitting.

At any rate, I don't even see the 360 dominating in America this coming gen to be honest. No Halo day 1 pretty much killed it for me; and even if it was, the spying potential is immense, I won't have that thing in my house, and I doubt most people who value freedom and privacy will either.

[Bobby Kotex]

I wouldn't exactly take seriously an article written by 'Grayshadow'. Usually authors use their real names.

[PSjesus]

PS3 in sale is the 2nd place after Wii (maybe 1st after a price cut in the future)
Also Sony's true success was making Blueray disc a dominant form for next gen media also Xbone well use it

[ALLWRONG]

Jeez the whining has gotten much worse since E3.

[nosferatuzodd]

well said

[Lwhit6]

I agree on everything you said there except the controller part... Ps4 has a freaking track pad and move capability INSIDE it... Seems pretty obvious on what ones the better controller.

[AznGaara]

Don't forget one of those controllers still require AA batteries...

[karl]

u know.. this article made me want a ps4 even more

everytime i see someone trying to defend the xone it just keeps sinking it deeper and deeper into misery..

[denawayne]

It's funny you say that. I've been a day one supporter of the Xbox One and I've never justified my opinion by going to a PS4 article and commenting on that fact.

[extermin8or]

@denawayne: Technically you just did in a way- lso this isn't just an X1 article PS4 is specifically mentioned in the title too.

[karl]

U really need to take my comment so seriously?

Iwas Just kidding with my first comment but it does feel like hes trying to hard to find something good about the console and that makes it look bad.. now the truly funny thing
Is that lately MS is saying things kinda like the ones in this article.

[TheFanboySlayer]

The xbox is only popular in america...everywhere else, the ps3 one...2/3 of all 360s sold were in the USA and people think in america all of a sudden that they raped the ps3....xbox only sold i think 1 million boxes in japan....and seriously the ps3 has finally outsold 360. people need to get their facts straight before writing articles.

[Karpetburnz]

Lol, how could the 360 be the dominant console when the PS3 has already outsold it? And it released a whole year later.

[ajax17]

I guess you can't expect much from a site called "noobfeed", lol.

[smashcrashbash]

Yeah the 'Xbox 360 was the dominate console this gen' thing kind of confused me.When did Microsoft dominate again.Did I miss that somewhere along the way? No one can deny that Microsoft and their console did well for themselves this gen but DOMINATED?' Sorry no.That didn't happen no matter how you spin it.And i will say it again.Are these the same people who mocked the PS3 for it's extra features and Bluray' saying quote 'the Xbox 360 is a GAMES CONSOLE' who are now boasting about Skype,Netflix,internet browsers and TV options?

[avengers1978]

See this is another case of last place equalling most popular... These people need to get over the fact that North America does not equal entire world

[ajax17]

Yeah, I hate living in a country where the 360 is more popular than the PS3. At least it'll most likely change this generation

[greenlantern2814]

Defending their bronze metal.
Prediction Xbox1 3rd in sales just like the Xbox and 360.
Ps3 currently out selling 360 in total sales and still gaining momentum, and every indication so far had ps4 beating out Xbox1 in pre orders. Now I know that means little to some of you but it is really the only thing that can be measured in regards to how well 2 as of yet to be released systems are doing.
Because " I asked all my buddies and they say they are getting system A" or " I was at my local game store and they said system A is sold out but I can still get system B" are not good arguments since they are most likely lies.

[lilbrat23]

It dominated only here in the United States not worlwide. With all the replacement xbox's people replaced and all the hacking yeah it dominated here in the U.S.

[aaron5829]

Lol... what? Ok... whatever makes the author sleeps at night

[Ezz2013]

they can't sleep
they put to much faith in MS
so the Damage Control got to be too much
http://funnyasduck.net/wp-c...

[Karpetburnz]

Sounds like the Author is mad that everyone prefers the PS4.

[Knightofelemia]

Personally it comes down to personal preference between PS4 and XboxOne. Both Microsoft and Sony have a service they want to offer both are close to the same but they also offer different services to customers as well. And it also comes down to the games and what kind of titles a person likes to play like Halo or KillZone. Honestly I think Microsoft should have announced a second SKU for the XboxOne a console without Kinnect. I don't like jumping up and down and waving my hands around especially if I finished a long day at work. I never did it with my PS3 and when I bought a 360 with the Kinnect I sold the Kinnect.

[VforVideogames]

You don't have to jump up and down and wave youre hands around, not all the games will use the Kinect, I think its mostly for like tv shows and Skype and recording youre own games and movies and sports and telling youre xbox what to do. Its going to be and awesome piece of hardware, I think its dedicated to the sports lovers like me with NFL NBA SOCCER UFC movies, Skype, theres something for everyone and don't forget games and this time we have them. PS4 OR X-ONE? X-1 for me, yep im going to the DARK SIDE.

[thehitman]

The thing is Kinect seems like a gimmick if thats the only reason to have it then. Any headset could do the same thing if the console is programmed to respond to your voice. Hell if ps2 had a game Socom which could respond to your voice by command it doesnt really make what MS is doing anything special. It seems like they are just really forcing Kinect down everyone's throat and any camera can double as a video camera + mic for much cheaper than what Kinect cost.

[lilzay33311]

you know the system has a DVR so the camera has nothing to do with recording your gameplay

[VforVideogames]

the Kinect seems like a gimmick but once you get the cheaper eyetoy on youre ps4 (you know the one sony decide to not include on every single ps4 just to keep the price down) then you will realize that msoft did the right thing. by the way whats the difference between ps3 and ps4? nothing just that now you have to pay to play on line.

[Caffo01]

@VforVideogames

yep you're going to the DUMB SIDE...

[Software_Lover]

I didn't know you were forced to jump up and down.

[ASBO-5]

Pull your head out, you know what he meant.

[BuffMordecai]

Delusional.

[6DEAD6END6]

OK but I'll be getting a PS4 on launch thank you very much, you can keep your Xbox one and enjoy that if you like.

[MysticStrummer]

noobfeed.com

Says it all really.

Meanwhile in the real world, PS4 dominates polls and pre-orders.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Sony beat Microsoft last gen and no doubt that most Liklely they will this gen as Microsoft really dug their own grave.

[strifeblade]

beat? last i checked they are tied in sales and the game attachment rate is higher on xbox... lol

in terms of exclusives- sure late into the gen sony took it since 2010-2011- but if you remember the first 1 year and a half ps3 was out it had nothing to play until mgs4 which means xbox dominated for atleast 2 and a half years.

microsoft gained 50 million consumers since the orginal xbox, playstation lost 40 million + from its consumer base. from a business perspective msoft took it. Naughty dog made great games this gen and put ps3 on the map, but forza took it from gran turismo this gen going by meta rankings

[PositiveEmotions]

No ms meat sony last year but this year is the other way around is like the king of sony console is back by the ps4 so far anyways

[Software_Lover]

They will both do well this gen. They can/will coexist.

Microsoft and Sony are here to stay whether you fanboys/girls believe it or not. Sony will always outsell Microsoft because of Japan and portions of europe. It's just a fact. Nothing to get your panties in a bunch about. But It will not be like the ps2 vs xbox.

Microsoft made a name for themselves with the 360 as they gained ground many people said they would never gain. They both have had their troubles,with consoles, but they will survive in the end.

[OrangePowerz]

Well they are hard at trying to ruin the name they made dor themselves and the 360 did profit from Sonys screw ups before and shortly after launch. It took them like 2 years to get things sorted. It might not be that close next gen with MS doing the screw ups now and Sony having the cheaper system that's also more powerful and not that hard to develop for this time.

It's not portions of europe that Sony is doing better, it's pretty much all of europe with the exception of the UK where MS is doing a bit better.

[YNWA96]

I just came back from the future, MS won, Sony had a huge lead, but they got bought by MS when Sony shares plummeted after Samsung bought everything else Sony owned. Also, there had been more hurricanes, Tornadoes, earthquakes and so on, but thats trivial.... Get a life people...

[ASBO-5]

You love to say stoopid things don't you?

[WeAreLegion]

How did this get approved?

[Software_Lover]

I ask this question everyday with 70% of the articles(blogs).

Yes, I did the actual math :)

[Elit3Nick]

strange, I thought this was a universal gaming site...

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

@positive how did Microsoft beat Sony?

-Sony sold more ps3 worldwide than 360
-Has more exclusives than 360
-has way more blockbuster exclusives than 360
-not one Xbox game has got more media acclaim
Than last of us (even tho halo 2 was phenomenal)

So tell me exactly how they won?

[gamertk421]

I think it is the drop from a 7:1 ratio in the PS2/Xbox Gen to pretty close to even this gen that many consider a "win". It'd be like if Windows Phone were neck and neck with the iPhone in a couple years, meaning the dominance is gone.

[ZodTheRipper]

I for one am still judging a win by the device that was better for ME - and this can only be the PS3 because of the reasons xReDeMpTiOnx stated and some more like the incredible value of Playstation Plus or the fact that I didn't need another BluRay player in the last 5 years.

[PLAYWATCH]

Yea what you're saying is one thing and fair but the author called Xbox360 dominant for current gen which is laughable.

[Hicken]

So you're racing somebody and you blow them out in the first race, and then don't beat them by as much the next race, and that means they won? Perhaps it's a moral victory for Microsoft, but their console currently sits at third with a CHANCE at second if it's supported long enough.

But the goal isn't moral victories. They're nice, but these companies want to say that, at the end of the generation, they sold more than the competition. Microsoft couldn't say that last generation, and barring something rather significant happening, they won't be able to say it for this generation, either.

And, honestly, they're acting like they don't really want to say it in the upcoming generation, either.

[Thunderhawkxbox]

All I saw on ur comment was blah blah blah the last of us is over ratted game like other Sony games most of them r over ratted

[bsquwhere]

All I saw was that Xbox was included in your name and realized that the comment to follow was going to be biased. Blah blah blah blah I'm biter blah blah mommy!

[No_Limit]

Another troll bait article. I am getting a Xbox 1 at launch and even though this is a positive piece for Xbox, it is still a troll bait headline for hit. Real gamers will get what they feel like will be best for them and enjoy their choice of purchase. Better sales and popularity contest are for diehard fanboys to brag about, nothing more nothing less.

[gamertk421]

The same way the 100 approvals occurred in the last few weeks that say "PS4 rules, Xbox go home". Now you see how annoying it is on the other side.

This was supposed to be @Legion. Y'all type too fast, lol.

[WeAreLegion]

The other side? All articles like this are absolutely horrible. The PS4 won't rule out the XBO and the XBO won't rule out the PS4. This guy wants hits. :/

[Elit3Nick]

I agree, even though I'm sticking with xbox for next gen I'm pretty sure that the PS4 will be dominant, although I could care less because all my friends are doing the same

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

I'll be getting the console that Naughty Dog developers for.That's all i know!

[OrangePowerz]

How long are people going to say MS listened to the criticisms of their DRM? People complained since the rumours started in february/march and they didn't give a toss. They changed it after they have seen pre order numbers and that Sony didn't do the same crap. If the pre order numbers would have been good or Sony would have done the same they wouldn't have changed a thing.

As for the other things like the free games for gold members, yea well they are like 4-5 years old and Sony already announced a bunch of games for PS4 that people get with PS+.

Xbox controller the best ever? Well I personally prefer the design of the DualShock. It's a personal preference.

And regarding dominating console. Sales wise it was the Wii and the 360 ended up in third place despite a year headstart and I'm sure RRoD got them extra sales because it took them a while before they extended the warranty and acknowledged that the hardware has a design issue so I'm sure plenty of people brought a new one initially because it was past the warranty.

[WeAreLegion]

That's what I don't get. Microsoft didn't "listen to consumers". They listened to pre-orders. I can't believe how gullible people are.

[OrangePowerz]

I dont know. Because if they would have listened, they would have announced that at E3 for maximum effect instead of Don telling people they should buy a 360.

[WeAreLegion]

Exactly.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

@dayz naughty dog is a Sony first party so they will only be on Sony consoles

[SpinalRemains138]

Jesus, the first sentence was incorrect in two areas.

360 was not the dominant console
and "the dominate console" is just the worst abuse of the English language I have seen this week.

How is a last place console a dominant console?

[Karpetburnz]

The Author is probably talking about America only, but he should've stated "dominant in America". Cause it's confusing a lot of people.

[NatureOfLogic]

I'm not getting an Xbox One, but fanboy opinion articles like this really makes laugh. Xbox 360 dominated? lol, You only get baseless statements like this from Xbox fanboys.

[ziggurcat]

When did MS even have the championship? because they're dead last as of a while ago.

[hemmo1986]

Hmmmm.....I thought wii was the top seller this gen, secondly ps3 and 360 were neck and neck. Pretty sure ps3 has sold more units as of this month (worldwide), only just though.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

PS3 outsold 360 as of April 2013 and just continues to widen the gap. 360 only dominates here in America.

[Bathyj]

I made it past the title but stopped reading at "retain the championship"

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I will not cheat myself. I will own all next gen consoles. My Wii U for exclusives, my ps4 for exclusives, and my X1 for online multiplayer since that's my primary console. I win no matter what...

[ZodTheRipper]

How can you win by spending 1200$ on hardware alone lol
I for one have other hobbies than gaming and spending 500$ on a console that's inferior to a 400$ console is just unexplainable to me.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Well its a good thing that I have a great job and in MY OPINION its worth it. Maybe when you get a big boy job money won't be such and issue. So like I said I won't miss any exclusives or consoles because I find value in all three systems. Save that fanboy rhetoric for someone else. Enjoy limiting yourself...and for the record 500+400=900 not 1200. Maybe you should take that 400$ u saved up for that ps4 and get a math tutor

[ZodTheRipper]

^I didn't say money is an issue to me (at least it's not anymore, lol), it's just that I was raised pretty humble and therefore I treasure the value of my money. I'm not buying things I don't need just to have them and I'm just not able to see the value the Xbox One would have for me if I would already own a PS4 (which is a no brainer seeing how this console generation turned out)

[JLT-Sandwitch]

@ blkxseptember yes 500+400 is 900. Although thats only 2 figgures. Stole the wiiu huh. You might have a big boy job but zod probably has a mans job so has better things to do then play on 3 consoles

[JamieL]

Wow man, you just got owned by 2 people and disagree’ s for being a true unbiased gamer. LOL, yea this is not a PS3-PS4 fanboy site. The man says he loves games and will make sure he has the ability to play any game that comes out, and gets tag team bashed by 2 people and slammed by the whole N4G “gamer community” with disagree’ s. That's just pathetically sad.

I'm with you man, I like GAMES too. No matter what company logo's on the box.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

thx for having some common sense. its not worth arguing with these clowns. sony owns them. they cant seem to understand that ive had a wii u since day one which was a gift so i dont get this 1200$ figure. in order for me to enjoy all next gen consoles it will cost me 900 plus tax. im almost glad these fools wont be on xbl.@ JLT-SANDWHICH...I am a grown married man with children and i provide and still have time to enjoy my hobbie so next time GROWN folks talking... and by the way JLT SANDWHICH u sound pretty suspect defending another man...just saying

[nismo15]

This article is bs lol since when did m$ dominate first few years of its life cycle when ps3 was getting off the ground and the wii which butchered this gen in sales to being with... so wtf does m$ come into it ..

[Supermax]

It's gonna be 3 to 1 ps4s to x1s in sales right off the bat.get your popcorn ready.

[gamertk421]

The 360 rules the US, the biggest gaming region. BTW, Happy Birthday 'Murica!

[Hicken]

If only the US outweighed the rest of the world...

[Tatsuya]

Fat chance! brick

[assdan]

People that are fanboys will are asking "why are people happy now?" They fail to realize that the PS4 wins in every category.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

Xbox go home, you're drunk again.

[Karpetburnz]

Has the Xbox ever been sober?

[gnothe1]

remeber that article that was posted about sony celebrating when the price of the xbox one was revealed...sony DID NOT wanna go head to head with MS at the same price point launching at the same time..system for system..sony MAY have alittle bit more power packed in but the overall entertainment package that the xbox one offers the PS4 cant compete...i still get to play the division..watch dogs..battlefield.. COD on both systems so now..whats gonna seperate the 2 systems?..MS just offers more OUT THE BOX..like it or not..wether you consider it a gimmick or not.ITS STILL MORE.

i really think out the gates the PS4 is gonna outsell the xbox but MS gonna has an ace up its sleeve..theres gonna be a deal with cable providers where you can get an xbone for 99 dollars with a 2 year contract an people gonna eat it up...an just off that alone in the u.s an u.k the xbox is gonna catch an pass the PS4 an never look back..

[OrangePowerz]

In a world that's moving more and more towards streaming for TV and movies it might not be such a useful feature in the long run.

I dont think outside of the US that many people care about the feature. If they subsidize it they need to make a plan for people who already have cable/satellite because I doubt people would suddenly get it when they didnt had cable/satellite before.

MS is betting a lot of money on the live TV feature ( sacrificing hardware resources among other things) on something that is already declining thanks to video streaming services that let you select what you want to watch when you want to watch.

[gnothe1]

but thats the thing..its gonna have all the streaming services PLUS live tv...plus games...plus communicaion thru skype across any skype enabled device...nfl..nba..soccer...co me on man..i just got off work at 5 checked my email..played a few games of COD..switched over an watched the local news...dinner is ready now bout to watch a movie...an never switched from my xbox an i did it all..THATS WHAT IM EXCITED FOR

[alexg587]

now ive have been a gamer since sega genesis and the first nintendo owned all sony products and all microsoft. been with xbox live since halo2 owned a kinect. i love all kinds of kinds of games. im no sony or msoft fanboy im a gaming fanboy.

it really irks me that msoft is putting not all but most of their chips in this kinect 2.0,because seriously what will it enable you to to do? will it let me play BF4 by using my arms to aim and shoot the gun or turn a corner and zoom into my sniper rifle?will it let me play madden by letting me pick 1 of 4 targets to throw the ball too? how bout once i catch the ball, do i have to run in 1 spot in front of my tv to get to the goal? see where im getting at right? who really wants to do that? all kinect will ever be good for is voice commands and cheap party games.

i also have the move controllers and il tell you one thing its still lame swinging shit,but the accuracy of the controllers with gyroscope and accelerametr plus the camera was real impressive like if they would have put that on skyrim control your guy with analog sticks swing your swords with the move wand cast your magic with the trigger buttons. lol maybe it still would have been lame,but i think the move+ps eye 2.0 offer way more flexiblity and creativity.

im getting ps4 because i like their 1st party titles,the raw power of the console, their free to play structure with games like warframe,planetside2,blackligh t getting their console limelight the indie makers getting some love, getting 64 free games a year for 50 bucks with ps+ it just sounds like a nice package to me lol. i was with xbox live for 9 years got fable2 free and 3 avatar items thanks microsoft. i do believe in them as cable box maker tho, i think they would dominate that.....smh

[oscarcat59]

I beg to disagree I have used the ps3 move and was not impressed same with the first Kinect. The demos on Kinect 2 does impress me. I doubt the ps4 eye with be much different that the first one. If it was better don't you think they would talk and demo it more? That being said I prefer both consoles to do well and bring competition. Companies always do better if another company is a threat to their business. Case in point Ms changing their policy on games and 24 hr check ins. I also believe both machines are close enough that games will play and look the same. Only the features and games will decide who wins this console battle But in my book it will be the company that makes the most money in profit that truly wins.

M$ did pull the plug on the DRM but you still are required to have internet and check into live every 24 hours or not play games.

[alexg587]

sorry if u had to read all that i really am lol just wanted to put my piece

[ghostrider32]

I thought Kotaku was bad.

[vladec]

All I see on n4g are PS fanboys....and anytime one person has something to say thats even neutral! about the XB1 everyone gangs up on him. Its hilarious why do all you homo PS fan boys talk so much trash when reality both of these systems are pretty damn awsome. As far as for all the trolls talking about PS3 out selling the 360, it did....just a couple of months ago by about 2,000 consoles but who cares? like really? Its even worse cause all you PS fanboys aren't even debating with any MS fanboys cause I honestly havent really ran into anyone coming off as an 'MS fanboy'. Either way damn PS fanboys just post garbage after garbage post.....lol I thought Sony had an 'adult' fan base as one PS fanboy troll wrote...what a joke. I didnt play PS3 cause the online community / game play was flat out sucked compared to the 360s and load times were ridiculously long but what do I need to worry about dealing with a fan base of trolls when I play PS4....gonna be muting a lot of people thats for sure. The funniest thing I bet a bunch of PS fanboys are going to think after reading this...'man im not going to write anything back to this so I dont sound like another Ps fanboy shcmuck im just going to press the 'disagree' button' LOL ~ As far as the all the real gamers on here you know both of these consoles are going to be sick!

[ghostrider32]

The Vegeta graph really wasn't necessary. We just need to come to an agreement that all fanboys are equally worthless, and start using the ignore feature that the whole site seemingly forgot about.

[TheOneEyedHound]

What are you talking about? Your post is unreadable.

All I can tell you is name me one reason why I should support MS?

[Funantic1]

Tell me one reason to buy a PS4? Don't say $100 cheaper for the PS4 because I bought the PS3 at $600. And that was $200 more than the 360. Don't say more powerful because the PS3 was more powerful than 360 but the games look no better than 360. And the X1 has a new patented technolgy that requires less specs for great graphics almost like a hybrid car requires less gas to go. And don't say because of mandatory Kinect because I was going to buy one anyway for the Illumiroom. The exclusives on the PS4 are a little weak...a pinball game? Come on that's lame.

[Hicken]

So... you want a reason to buy a PS4, but you immediately start dismissing certain reasons. But then, your reasons for dismissing them are weak.

You bought the PS3 because you knew what you were getting at $600. Not BECAUSE it was $600. Apparently, you thought there was value there. Now, Sony's bringing you an even more powerful console than before for $200 less.

The PS3 was and is more powerful, as the PS4 is more powerful. In pretty much every genre, the PS3's exclusive was more graphically impressive than its 360 counterpart. And just as the best looking (console) games of the generation were on PS3, the same will likely be true of the PS4.

You say the XBOne has "new patented technology" like the PS4 doesn't. I take it you haven't actually been keeping up with any of the details behind the PS4... the type of details Microsoft has been keeping hush about. Which makes me question your supposed knowledge about this "hybrid" tech you say they have. I certainly hope you're not talk about cloud computing. PLEASE tell me you don't mean cloud computing.

You wouldn't buy a PS4 because of Kinect. You'd buy one because you don't have the OPTION to NOT buy one, unless you opt out of the XBOne entirely. You WOULD buy a PS4 because of Move, because the PS3 version has proven to be more accurate and precise, and because it's been shown to have better core gaming capabilities than the Kinect. Whether or not that will be true for the second gen of each remains to be seen, but odds are things will stay the same.

Which PS4 exclusive is the pinball game? Killzone? inFamous? Knack? Drive Club? Maybe you mean one of the existing exclusive franchises that'll likely make their way to PS4: Gran Turismo, God of War, LBP, or Uncharted?

You really just brought up PLENTY of reasons to get a PS4 and then gave weak excuses for why those reasons shouldn't be included.

And you talk about something being lame?

[rmw2hot]

Which ever console that has Killzone Shadow Fall will win the next gen console war

[Funantic1]

Which ever console has Titanfall "for sure" will win the next gen war.

[rmw2hot]

Call of Duty Titanfall looks like Sh*t compared 2 KZ shadowfall it dont even look like a next gen game please GTFO of here.

[Funantic1]

Xbox 360 dominated in the US by 20 million. No way will PS4 beat the X1 in the US and UK. That's all I'm concerned about, being that I'll be matched up online with english speaking people. Microsoft already said they'll advertise the X1 in Europe more than they ever did with the 360. Along with the fact that the Japanese now prefer portable gaming over consoles unlike before indicating that the PS4 won't sell over there like the PS3 did and give Sony that advantage like previously. The X1 is going to be a threat to PS4 overall but especially in America. The X1 will eventually go down in price but the PS+ membership will still be the same price and mandatory to play online...something new for playstation users. Xbox live was good with 15,000 servers so now with 300,000 servers it'll be much more better and dominant than before. And the X1 still has Titanfall, the most awarded game in years. Even tho it's time exclusive it relies on the Azure cloud so much according to respawn and MS could just extend their exclusivity. The PS4 version could be watered down. People won't want to wait 1 whole year to join in. Plus when MS reveals the Illumiroom to counter against the less impressive playroom sales will go up. Don't forget that MS has a new patented technology that requires less specs for higher graphics and speed. X1 will reign.

[TheOneEyedHound]

It did with the Ps2, people buy the cheaper sexy console.

I expect the Ps4 to dominate this gen.

[coopman300]

XB1 day one for me. Only real advantage ps4 has (besides things that fall under personal preference of course) is hardware based power; which in reality isn't THAT much better than the xb1 especially when you factor in the new texture rendering system ms is bringing to it. As far as price goes the extra $100 is more than worth it for all your getting. Not to mention TWC will probably fully support the xbox1 so I'll be able to lose that huge remote unless I want to dvr something.

[kewlkat007]

I think most will be surprised when it comes to buying the XB1 console after they have played it in the stores and tried it out....You'll see.

[TheOneEyedHound]

IQ of a -100, Please stop approving these dumb articles.

[SynestheticRoar]

Question was this a real article?

[coopman300]

Well first off the movement feature of the ps4 controller has to have the eye to fully function, that said the Kinect is far superior to the pseye. Also there are/will be many features xbl will have that psn doesn't like hbo go and twc is already releasing 300 channels for the 360. I heard it said best that if all you do ever is just play games then get a ps4, if you like to do anything else besides play games, get xbox1. As far as exclusives go it's all really personal preference so for someone to say this game or that game sucks is pretty much meaningless. As far as privacy goes you will be able to completely turn off the Kinect to where it wont even constantly listen for the turn on phrase, which unless you are doing things in your home that are illegal why would it matter anyway. Not to mention sony was originally going to sell the ps4 with the eye for an extra $100, doesn't make sense if it's really a $60 peripheral. Funny how everyone want's to drag ms over the coals for wanting to go digital and have the Kinect but completely ignore all the crap ps has done (many accounts getting hacked, months of downtime for their online service, and virtually no policing of cheaters). Sorry but if you have to bribe me with free stuff to subscribe to your online service, it must not be very good.

the difference is to be honest microsoft is actually givin u a new generation console that has snap an alot of other cool features where as sony jus upgraded the specs of there new system, an a new controller with a touch pad... if it wasnt for microsoft tryin to do first what every other company wants to due restrict used game sales which lead to the 24 hr check in id say that microsoft would be neck to neck with sony or even ahead i mean they have a better console maybe not specs wise but it does a hell of alot more then the ps4 an the games boy oh boy all i heard was xbox 1 wont have games sony is all about games blah blah xbox ripped ps4 ass games wise at e3 that was my only concern if they were gonna show kinect titles an they didnt so have fun ps4 buyers im glad ur happy bein set in ur ways with ur basically 90s console that now has apps an charges for a lack luster network but ima be on skype talkin to that fine ass girl in the lobby while playin titan fall an maybe on internet explorer at the same time while ur jus playin a game

[sAVAge_bEaST]

@airgangstarr. (don't disrespect gang starr)

90's were the shizz, I just bought a Brand New Game-LoU- because of trading, old ass games.. I never would have bought that,.

Ethics,, we have a responsibility to uphold them.. M$ is clearly lacking in that department. I would Rage just as hard at Sony, if they pulled any of the BS M$ has pulled.

Have fun skypeing with that "fine ass girl in the lobby", I will just go to a club/bar, to talk to that "fine ass girl", only to bring her home later.

[CNCOMICS]

Talks mostly about Xbox One, console picture is of Xbox 360 E.

[Thunderhawkxbox]

Every time people say something Xbox one beating ps4 Sony fan boys saying Xbox never had a good game like the last of us and just to remind u not even one game on ps3 sold as much as halo 3 sold and the last of us is nowhere as good as halo games

[JamieL]

That is a troll comment, but it's funny. And true.

[XboxSeriesBest]

They call it Xbox One for a reason because only one person in the board room approved this P.O.S

[Supermax]

It's going to be rough out the gate for ms.ps4 will sell 3 to 1 this holiday.

[o-Sunny-o]

Xbawks 360 sucks I sold mine last weekend. My friend convinced me. I didn't use it anyway.
