So I'm planning to get an 8th gen console soon and I'm torn between two great consoles! Firstly, I have an Xbox 360 and PS3 myself and I have a variety of games for each system.
I'll list some important points as to why I should x console:
Xbox One
- Although I have both consoles, 360 is my primary console.
- I got the Xbox 360 first before eventually getting the PS3.
- I feel that the 360 won the seventh generation, being more 'adaptable' in a sense that 90% multiplatform games looked better on the 360, and thus, I wanna stay loyal to the Xbox franchise by getting an Xbox One.
- Not to mention that I have a very high Gamerscore (for bragging rights), and by getting an Xbox One, I can carry on my so-called 'legacy'.
- When it comes to the online experience, I felt more connected with Xbox Live compared to the PSN. Xbox Live on the 360 is far superior to PS3's offering. (I am aware that PSN has had a drastic overhaul on the PS4)
- Having tried both controllers at Eurogamer Expo last year, I prefer the Xbox One controller greatly to the PS4.
- Have a slight inkling that the 'cloud' is gonna be a real game-changer.
PS4
- "I'm definitely getting a PS4." is what came out of me right after seeing them win E3 last year.
- Speaking of E3, Sony made it crystal clear that they are catering for the gamers.
- Based on my research so far, PS4 is a very convenient system. The one that stands out the most is the ability to use headphones for chat AND audio by plugging it on the controller.
- Already a subscriber of PS+ and offers a lot more games compared to Xbox's Games with Gold. Also, having one subscription that offers games across 3 platforms is a big plus.
- Not really into the whole 'PS4 has better hardware' fiasco but it provides a sense of security. Feels more ready for the future.
- Met new friends recently that game on PS3/4.
Other points:
- I am more interested in upcoming PS4 exclusives such as Uncharted, Kingdom Hearts, No Man's Sky. Gears and Halo do not interest me, although I am very intrigued about Sunset Overdrive, and a big fan of Crackdown and Tomb Raider.
- As for other upcoming games, I'm looking forward to: Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed, Dead Island 2, The Division. Reason I mentioned this is whilst I feel that Xbox Live is superior, PSN might just catch up due to its larger install base.
If I remember other points, I will add them. These ones are the ones that are on the top of my head at this time of writing.
Oh, and please no mention of Wii U or PC. Not remotely interested in the Wii U and streaming is one of the biggest selling points for me so a console that can do it out of the box is a big, big plus for me.
Thanks
