"PS4 Offers Most Value for The Money"

agreed, at least for me
also i agree with the points in this article
very spot on

[JokesOnYou]

Another n4g members blog page with insight reasons like:

"2. The Xbox One console does not function without Kinect, so here is a double risk that could happen. Not only can your Xbox One fail but Kinect could also fail"

-uhm really any piece of electronics COULD fail then you just have to get it fixed, broken disc drive, broken cable, overheating, broken controller, HDD failure, anything, you just have to get them all fixed >>IF<< they fail....lol how is this a reason ps4 is a better value?

I thought this would offer some solid reasoning, but its just filled with terrible logic and it only got worst.

Very poorly written points, seems he was trying hard to make the ps4 a better value....hell Kinect alone retails $400 on pc, so getting X1 and Kinect is already a huge value with micro absorbing most of the costs to get Kinect in as many hands as possible.

If you would have actually read it, you would have realized that he said it's a double risk...

The PS4 could fail, and it would not work,

Or the Xbox One OR Kinect could fail and it wouldn't work...

2 risks, instead of 1...

[4Sh0w]

I think he read it it just stupid grasping to add negative points where there is none, there are some valid reasons to not want Kinect but only a fanboy would decline a piece of gaming tech because "well it might break", seriously?

But why stop there by that logic what if your HDD, disc drive, controller stops working? Just because its out of the box doesn't make it any more riskier to stop working anymore than internal components, thats what Jokes is getting at, in fact its more stable being seperate due to less stress and heat just like the original kinect, no problems with Kinect being seperate breaking now is there? Its like saying a all in one pc is a better value than a monitor and tower combination regardless of what extra benefits the combo might have, why, ahh because that bluetooth soundsystem might break. See how ridiculous that logic is? Its just stupid reaching for reasons that makes the author sound desperate more than knowledgeable. I guess its not surprising a quick look at his comment history shows his agenda:

Nice to see such unbiased journalism, huh?

[p0tat0stix]

I stopped reading after "The Xbox One costs $500 dollars"

[mewhy32]

Ps4 all the way.

[cedaridge]

C'mon bro! If you go off of price point, you don't think ps4 is a better value?
#fanboys is So old now

[gamingfriend]

100% agree thats why im getting it, I know a bargin when I see one, a shame others dont hay.

[oscarcat59]

Well reading this was a waste of time.

[Supermax]

I'm so glad ps4 is so cheap so I can afford the x1 as well thanks Sony.

[gamingfriend]

It was a waste yes everyone know the ps4 xan do all that and is better soooooo, there we have it.
So if the kinect is faulty then yes the xbox will have function problems.
Sooooooo pumped for the ps4 that bad boy going to go well with my sony tv.

[chrissx]

Ofcourse the Ps4 offers more value for money. That's already common knowledge by now. The Ps4 is the true next gen machine. Facts is facts

[dcj0524]

Yeah. I mean ps+ cheaper free to play games free games for VITA PS3 and PS4 more indie games more powerful. All comon knowledge. Preaching to the choir.

I am probably going to to go with the PS4 (that has been my plan from the beginning, although I am still considering the XB1 instead), but this is far from insightful.

First off, if you are talking about getting free games with PS+, the whole thing about features behind the paywall is irrelaviant (or moot, not mute like I see so many people write). You are already paying for the paywall, so you aren't getting extra value with the other services not being behind the paywall. Next gen, most subscribers will be PS+ or XBLG subscribers anyways, so I am tired of the whole behind the paywall thing. That is just not a real factor.

This also skipped all the extra features of the XB1: Smart Match System, Reputation System, skype, the extra apps, multi-tasking, etc. If you really want to compare value, those have to be part of the equation.

I said it in a different thread, but I'll repeat it here. The decision factors I have to weigh are:

PS4: better internal hardware, remote play on vita and Gaikai (although as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am skeptical of it working over the internet, but expect remote play to work well in the home, which is my primary use for it anyways), the value of extra games with PS+, the cache of sony historically making better first party games and price.

XBOne: HDMI pass through, which allows the system to meld TV with games, smart match system, reputation system, unique entertainment aps, the potential of the cloud (much like Gaikai above, I am skeptical of how well it will work over the internet), Kinect (which I don't really need, but my wife and son seem to like), and personally all of my friends are Xbox people so I would have more people that I know to game with.

patsrule316, Well said. I think depending on your preference you can make the case about 1 or the other being the better value. I think its great when gamers say ps4 is the best choice for them without being a fanboy about it, I feel the same way about X1. It's just that this "opinion piece" had the weakest logic I've seen in sometime, usually you get something like this from some non-gaming sites, so I would have at least expected someone on n4g to have a stronger well laid out opinion than this, seriously it was bad. I get it he likes ps4 but if you're going to create a news thread for submission at least try not to copy and paste talking points from the comment section of n4g. It was obvious that's all he did.

[Belking]

Now way. Last time ps3 had the value with the BR drive but this time MS easily has more value.

Day 1 cloud support
HDMI in
SKYPE
1080P Kinect cam
natural user interface w/voice
Game sharing
Snap feature
Windows 8 compatibility
Better lineup of games.
And to top it off, every xbox-one can be used as a dev Kit.

Xbox-one takes it hands down.

That article fails to mention any of that. I wonder why?...lol

Maybe if sony had their cloud service available on day 1 they would score more points but we don't know jack about their plans for it or how it affects gamers.

[Rimeskeem]

More Studios= more games to come and not timed exclusives

no required camera

PS+ and free games

no paywalls except online play

as far as i can tell the game sharing on the two systems is the same way

remote play with vita

cheaper console

MARK CERNY

Full indie Support and game support

lots of media too just not connected to your TV

I dont wanna yell or talk to my TV

[PunisherRevenge]

@Sckipt......You do know as of right now Microsoft owns more studios for games than Sony right? Do some research buddy!!!

[obelix77]

Wow! What a great unbiased piece of journalism! NOT! Sony isn't perfect it will have its own set of unique problems as does Xbox. No console is perfect. I'm getting Xbox one simply because it offers more & I believe it incorporates features & tech that will be a better value in the long run. Will ps4 be a good console? absolutely & eventually I plan on getting one. I definitely feel however paying $500 for a X1 is a fair price for the capabilities Xbox offers.

[PunisherRevenge]

@Obelix77.....Exactly couldn't agree more. I'm also buying the X1 day One because of all the features you get right out of the box. I'm getting all three next gen consoles anyway, I already got my Wii-U and I'm getting the PS4 next year when Sony starts showing more worthwhile games to play.

[Redgehammer]

I wish I was 16-25 so I could think my product is superior "just cause it is". However, I would not want to be that age for the same reason. I am remarking to the overall sentiment of many comments I read here on N4G, and not the article specifically, or even this comment thread.

[Izzy408]

The positives for the PS4 were pretty much repeated, just worded differently.

[gamingfriend]

Aslong as its positive not bad news.....unlike some.
