What Console Suits you?

Purchasing a video game console is a tough decision, Trying to decide what to go with and why. Let us weigh up the pros and cons on both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and shed some light on what would be better for you.

[TwoForce]

Well, i have both console. But I prefer PS4 because it's my personal taste. If you like Xbox One, then fine by me. A lot of game coming out today for PS4 and Xbox One. Indie or AAA games, just play the hell out all of them. It's plain and simple really.

[WowSoChill]

Nice, Xbox One suits me because i like to play Online more than anything, Xbox LIVE really satisfies my needs

[Griever]

I have grown up with Playstation since the PS1 (33 now) and my favorite genre of games is JRPG so its definitely PS4 for me. There is no other home console with JRPGs so I have no other choice.

In the end it is all a matter of preference in games. We do not play consoles; we play games. And we go wherever we can get the games/genres we want.

[insomnium2]

Any console is great as long as it plays TLOU. That game has TEH BESTEST online EVA! Not to mention the single player. BEST GAME EVER imo.

[bouzebbal]

PS4 and 3DS.
First one due to the variety it gives and 3DS on the go is absolute greatness.

[SniperControl]

I have both as well, but i prefer the PS4, in my opinion, the exclusive stable on PS4 outweighs the X1 stable, saying that, i am really looking forward to Quantum Break, Recore and the Gears games.

If were including the PC as well, then PC is my main gaming platform.

[Ocsta]

Same here. Pc for the majority of gaming, Ps4 for console exclusives/games that work better with a controller. That's the only combo you need if you actually have a life on the side.

[ChrisW]

I think they should have included the PC.

-Console controller capability
-Connects to any current TV for living room gaming comfort
-Awesome frequent sales on all download game clients (not just STEAM!)
-The myth that you have to spend a lot to play modern games is false
-There are PC exclusives as well...
-Backwards compatibility; even the original "Oregon Trail"

[nix]

all you people with 2 consoles and a PC... nothing against you guys. but man, you guys have money to own all that. specially those people who own more than one console of the same type.

[Simco876]

No one has time for your play both sides and love all systems. Just hate one or the other jesus.

/s

[3-4-5]

All of them.

[slappy508]

I have and love both, but since I prefer Japanese games, if I could only have one console, it would be PS4.

[tgunzz]

I have all three with my xb1 on first, my ps4 on second, my wiiu on 3rd... They all have so much to offer that I can't go with just one box...

[SockeyBoy]

My three; Xbox one, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox 360

[OB1Biker]

lol my 3: PS4 PS3 Vita :)

[poppinslops]

Super Nintendo... it's the only console that has a Power Glove.

I love the Power Glove.

[SockeyBoy]

actually dude the Power Glove was on the NES not the SNES.

[poppinslops]

Oh yeah... it's been a long time since I watched 'the Whiz Kid'.

[Ocsta]

It's so bad...

[Rookie_Monster]

If you count PC as well...

1. PC first for me. Best versions of third party port. Usually cheaper on new releases. MoDs!!

2. Xb1. Like the exclusives better (personal choice of course). BC as I have over 100 X360 games. All the updates and features like external HDD to store unlimited amount of games, snap features to let me do multitasking, and minor things like friends notification and unlimited cloud saves. Many games on dedicated servers, Windows 10 integration. My favorite controller is compatible with it.

3. PS4. Play most of my third party games that are not on PC on it. Some amazing exclusives and many incoming games that can't be played anywhere else.

Again, that is my preference and only mine.

[Ocsta]

Never thought I'd say this Rook but, what you said makes perfect sense and is completely reasonable. I'm the same as you except for the fact that I have zero desire for a 'bone since the exclusives do absolutely nothing for me. Keep this up and people may actually stop insta-disagreeing with you :)

[StrayaKNT]

I've had both since day one. I hate Japanese games though so the Xbox is my console of choice as I find the AAA exclusives to be so much better.

[showtimefolks]

do you mean the Japanese niche titles? I also don't like any besides yakuza. if you have a ps3 give it a try, really story filled game set in japan. really cool scenes and characters.

but Than again thee are some blockbusters that are made by Japanese publishers like mgs 4,ff15 and kingdom Hearts to name a few

also games like demon souls, bloodborne and dark souls are made by Japanese developers

[StrayaKNT]

Yeah only Japanese games I like are bloodborne, lost odyssey and scalebound. The rest are just tired franchises that dont interest me at all.

[showtimefolks]

I kind of understand what you mean. I am a huge mgs fan so that's a must buy. I never bought a ff game because of turned based gameplay, this I think has all the combat in real time

I hope ff7 also gets the real time combat gameplay

yakuza is kind of my love child lol.

you are right in one sense, a lot of times we have to beg these Japanese publishers to bring the game out west. that's why my love for Japanese games is also slowing down

[cfc83]

Have both. I'd reccomend either, as they will both have cheap back catalogues. From there it's a case of what you prefer moving forward. Xb1 is investing in first party, ps4 is buying advertisment rights, and along with their partners at kickstarter, are bringing out shenmue in a few years. Oh yeah there's also ff7, a game that will age as well as a skeleton. Joking aside they are both good consoles, and it's really a case of what exclusives you prefer.

[showtimefolks]

Ps4 because I barely have time for one but still have my ps3 for yakuza games, I also have bunch of games like mgs collection and mgs 4 on ps3 too

my next console will be Xbox one around black Friday. I want to play sunset overdrive, tomb raider, crackdown 3, the new rare game and quantem breal

ps4 will be my main console while Xbox one will be for exclusive only. I am a single player gamer and under Phil spencer they have announced bunch of them.

but for me it will be on game at a time. I won't buy mutiple games if they are gonna sit in the backlog. just wait till I finish what I am playing than move on to the next one.

[ninsigma]

Sunset overdrive is awesome! Very different to shooters out at the moment. Great fun all round, I'm sure you'll enjoy it :D I'd also recommend ori and the blind forrest if you don't mind 2d games. Wonderful addition to the current generation of games.

[showtimefolks]

thanks man I will save them to my list. I played sunset for about an hour and loved it, a pure game play fun type of game. I just fine it very hard sometimes to get to play. sometimes in a week I get 5 hours total for gaming

gaming was fun when I was single lol

[ninsigma]

I know what you mean! Can be hard to juggle everything! And with all the awesome games on the horizon, it makes it even harder xD

Hope you find some more time soon :)

[showtimefolks]

thank you will try my best

[BitbyDeath]

PS4 cause I like a large variety of genres and I'm not that fond of FPS and racers.

[DragonDDark]

Disagrees because you don't like a curtain genre.
"YOU MUST LIK DIS!"

[TriangleOffense]

Overall ill take my xbox one with my ps4 being there just for baseball at this point. I love the snap feature for watching baseball, i love the app selection for streaming tv and movies and while I feel ps4 has a slight advantage in current exclusives i am looking forward to what xbox has coming, also backwards compatibility was a huge bonus since i own so many 360 games but my console took the rrod dirt nap awhile back.

[Blank]

The one that plays video games!

[TheGreatGamer]

I have both XB1 and PS4 but my XB1 is practically never off and I bought a ps4 for the exclusives

[Mikelarry]

Own both but currently preferring my xbox one

[ShaunCameron]

The Wii U since I don't on playing too many video games after this generation. So far, the games I got for it are adequate.

[stonecold3]

my pick is ps4 i like the exclusive like heavy rain until dawn god of war gt uncharted horizon wil be a new one and i been with ps since ps1 ps2 ps3 days

[ninsigma]

I have all 3 current home consoles as well as a pc, 3ds and vita. PC is for multi-plats and everything else is for their exclusives. I love having them all, I get to play any game I want. PS4 is the one that holds a special place in my heart though. Been gaming on playstation since the very first and their library of games impresses me more. Looking forward to what they all hold in the future!! Just hoping zelda stays on the wii u!

[MeliMel]

I like both but XBL has made the Xbox One my preferred console. Its just I have more friends and family on the network. I also have an extensive xbox 360 library and Im exctied some of those will be coming to Xb1 via BC.

So yeah, that being said PS4 is like right there neck and neck. XBL, just gives the Xbox a lil edge. Imo of course.

[Perjoss]

The PS4 suits me the best for now. I'm not a fan of the XB1 interface or how some games run at sub 1080 resolutions, the XB1 controller is great but I don't like how high up the shoulder buttons are. But hopefully with DX12 and a UI redesign I will happily use my XB1 a lot more. I still use it quite a bit to plat Elite Dangerous (great game!).

[lemoncake]

Top for me is pc, then the rest follow:

1. PC usually if you can play it on here this is the place to play it, plus its only place to really play strategy games.
2. Xbox one - great lineup every year of games I like, needs PC to Xbox streaming, more cross play and cross buy would make it awesome.
3. iOS devices - iPad and iPhone, best devices for pick up and play when out, on crapper or just before sleep
4. wii u - exclusives are top quality and have great nostalgia, cannot play this style of game anywhere else. This is also very kid friendly which comes in handy.
5. ps4 - not many exclusives and only a few like bloodborne and infamous have appealed to me, should be better next year with uncharted.
6. New 3ds xl maybe if i stick it in the glove compartment I will play it more I really like the 3d, good games but either my iPhone or iPad are always at hand.

[SquidBuck]

The PS4 has more exclusives than the Wii u lmao

[lemoncake]

Where did I say Wii u has more exclusives than ps4? You just seeing crap you want to see lmfao, insecure much? Lol so stupid.

[rajumaraju]

well written

[B1uBurneR]

The system that suits me best is the Xbox one. I like to back a company that keeps moving gaming Forward for example the original Xbox introduce hard drives in the system and Xbox Live. The 360 introduce game chat and apps to the console. The Xbox one because I can still play my 360 games in the coming months and they're pushing the envelope again with cloud compute .. snap & streaming to multiple device from the living room to the balcony. And let's not forget all the exclusive games coming out this holiday plus I get to visit my old games for free... awesome system.

[g-nome]

Atari 2600

[RosweeSon]

Ps4, Wii U, 3DS And Vita got my mates Xbox one sat on the floor but in no rush to play it, got myself a copy of Rare replay but think I'll wait til Christmas time to start nailing it, halo collection also other than its all going on elsewhere this generation.

[KryptoniteTail]

They all do but PS4 is top tier.

[Imalwaysright]

None of them. Games are what move me and if I have to buy consoles to play them that's what I'll do.

[sprinterboy]

I would like playstation consoles to go bk to just games only imo, the all round stuff is nice don't get me wrong but my smartphone does all my youtube, on demand TV etc through mirroring with TV already,imagine playstation horse power without all the added stuff

Edit: probably not explained it very well what I meant lol

[FlexLuger]

I have XB1, PC and PS4. But my xbox is my fave. Its where my close knit clique( dont call us a clan)and my friends . XBL (been a subscriber for just over 7 years) The games selection suits me better, as does the online centric nature of the console. And I love the controller! cant wait to get my hands on my elite pad. pre ordered that baby the moment it went live on GAME.

The PS4 is really for its exclusives. My PCs are really meant for music production. I stumbled into PC gaming out of curiosty and the Nvidia GPUS I have installed in my computers. Since then I use one of my PCs just for gaming and entertainment. So I consider myself a bit of a PC gamers now. Firefall, hawken and star citizen being my faves.

[Sie]

I have an Xbox, ps4, Wii u and half decent gaming pc. Xbox is used 80% of the time.

[Relientk77]

The black one

[nbalive89]

great to see so many gamers have more then one system because there love for gaming.

[H1t_Monster]

Have all 3 but my order will be X1,PS4 and wiiU.I chose X1 as #1 for me because it has dedicated server for every first party games and multi playing is where it's at for me.Also the controller feels natural fit for gaming as oppose to the DS4.All 3 have strength and weakness but owning them together makes perfect gaming set up.Happy Gaming to all.

[TwoForce]

People have their own heart to choose. For example, Playstation was my first time to become playstation gamer. If your xbox was made you become xbox gamer, then it natural really.

[DragonDDark]

Ps4 for me 'cause I like dem exclusives. I can watch netflix/tv etc.. On my Laptop. I just want to play games.

[Paleblood]

PS4 all the way.

It has the games I like, it is the most powerful console, Sony has the best diversity library, JRPGs, love the controller and also all my friends have PS4, none has xbox.

[Fro_xoxo]

all of them suit me. There's always a few games I'd like to play on all platforms. .

my gripe is time management.

[Sokol]

Playstation 4 for me personally when it comes to all around games in general.

I recently updated my PC and have been enjoying some Crysis 3, Statecraft II and some older PC only titles that my old PC couldn't run.

On a side, I will borrow my wife's New 3DS Xl to play some Smash Bros or numerous amazing JRPGs.

I honestly have little time as it is so one console is all I can devote time.

[Godz Kastro]

Xbox one

[SH1ELD]

currently the Xbox but i still believe in Sony's future first party lineup.

[Youngindy21]

I prefer games geared towards Americans and great Multiplayer, so I prefer Xbox One. I might eventually get a PS4, but for right now I am content with Xbox.

[ScorpiusX]

For me it's the Xbox brand and Nintendo , love the games both offer me .

[boodi]

good day I have both . Been thrilled in the beginning more for ps4 but for xb1 more lately ..
Expecting a good season on my ps4 ( 1 game to buy at moment ) and an even better season for my x1 , 2 games on my list for now . Don't know about 2016 ..all in all it seems MS is pushing the fun/mechanics of games bit better then ps4 where graphics reigns . Been disappointed only by kz on my ps4 in the very beginning , all other games i bought were killers and had a blast with mor ethen one title. Lot of good games out there but the very best still has to come on both parties imo ( 2016 and on) we will see tremendous value realeases
for what i see and play i think a lot of games will deliver a blast ..and will be hard to choose between .. it seems Mr Spencer is doing his job the best ..

i have to admit that have the witcher III for the ps4 and seeing it running maxed with all ths s@@ts on a maxed pc got me really very very jelous about it

[boodi]

edit: if i had to advice only one .. it really come down to their respectives exclusives ..so better check the respective games and exclusives to know wich one fits you the most

[elarcadia]

Xbox One for motion games and MP experiences, Sony for some single player experiences. I play most games on the Xbox One, but use the PS4 for exclusives. I enjoy both systems though.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Every genre I prefer seems better on XboxOne:

FPS - Halo
Fighting - Killer Instinct
3PS - Gears, QB
racing - forza series
Open world action shooter - Crackdown 3
Open world rpg - Scalebound
Open world shooter/plat former - SSO
METROVANIA action/adventure- ROTR
METROVANIA - ORI
MOBAS
backwards compatibility
Live is arguably better than PSN
ANY Gaps in software just play on PC

[SquidBuck]

Dude you understand the PS4 has games in all of those categories as well. Also the king of all fighters, Street Fighter V.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Killer Instinct is a better, more fresher fighter than Street fighter. Also if I want to play SfV. I can download. It to PC and pretty soon be able to stream it to my Xbox One. And Ps4. May have games in those categories but they are not better . Fora is superior to driveclub. Halo is superior to. Kill zone. Crackdown 3 will be superior to Infamous, etc.

[SaveFerris]

I choose the PS4. Mainly because the Playstation was my first games console since the Atari.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

PS4 because it's a PlayStation so in the long run it will have more diverse and unique exclusives. That's why I always choose PlayStation they're really the only ones who take risks with their games.

[Eiyuuou]

I love JRPG's so PS4 is the way to go for me! ^^

[level 360]

Was talking to a **non-gamer friend recently and asked me what console should he buy for his teenage son's birthday.

I told him straightaway - what sort of game does he like to play?

And he told me his son wanted Halo - so quick answer XBox ONE. I also added there is a 1TB Halo bundle that could save him money.

Story -- to non-gamers' your advice usually helps -- but to another gamer/s it's mostly debates.
