So... Xbox One, or PS4? your next-gen choice

[stomp_442]

Have the cost of the consoles been revealed, that maybe a deciding factor for some people.

Wii U for all the Ninty 1st party and a PS4/PC for everything else. Its like last gen. a Wii and a ps3 makes sense. A Wii and a 360 kinda makes sense. A 360 and a ps3 is just redundant.

Well I'm leaning towards a decent pc. A family member works in the pc field. Basically a cpu, disc drive, and gpu are the only things I'll need to pay for. At a nice discount to boot. Only thing is a turn off for me is racing, fighting and some others I'm not good with a keyboard to play.

I own a Wii U. I played ZombiU and I liked it. Haven't really gone back to the Wii U because my PS3 backlog is so huge.

I already know that I'm getting a PS4 and I will most likely skip Xbox this upcoming console generation.

It has nothing to do with what tech I think is better between the two consoles--it's just that I'm already so invested in the PlayStation. I have PS Plus until 2017 (with hundreds of digital downloads tied to my account, several games I've "platinumed," all of my real-life friends are on PSN, etc. As for games, there just aren't enough exclusives on Xbox to win me over. I'm sure I'll miss out on some excellent titles, but Sony will have some equally great exclusives. At any rate, it just wouldn't make sense for me to switch over to Xbox.

I already own a PC I'm a low cash Nintendo fanboy so I'll eventually get a Wii U with hopes to have my PC make up for a lack of the other two.


It's all about the controller at least it's something different.

True, but the endless gamepad and wheel support more than makes up for it, and Joy2Key brings gamepads to games that lack the functionality.

I'll probably upgrade my PC in the not so distant future and definitely will pick up and xbox one controller to go with it !
Especially if it will be recognized as a standard xbox 360 controller by older games.
That''s it, I've got no patient to silly wave my hands in the air or speak loudly at night when according to them, " it's just as fast as pressing a button on your TV remote ".
So why don't we keep on using the bloody TV remote for a change ?
And use your phone to navigate ? What if I don't have a phone ? What if I have a smart phone and I can look online all the info that I need ON the phone,without gimmicky shrinking or enlarging the screen ?
And what do I do with the phone when I need to wave my hands, do I drop it? Put it in my pocket ?
Not practical if you ask me.
Hey, but we all knew they were going to show kinect down our trouts .

I think Nintendo got got it right with the gamepad controlling the TV, at least you have a large touch screen to interact with, comfortably from your couch, and it's always there with you and it comes with the system.
An actually improved TV remote.
Therefore, when more exclusives titles will become available, I'll pick a Wii U as well.

I liked what I saw today... I'm 75% sure that I will go with xbox one this year... Wii U maybe I get it only after Mario Kart (just like I did with wii), but I'm not excited with it... About PS4, sony is doing a bad communication until now, I see no reason to get it yet (but as I said, I think it is bad communication from sony, and probabily not a bad hardware).

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Neither. I'm happy with my Wii U, thank you very much. I have a HTPC for my living room so I don't need the PS4 or XBox One.

 

[trumpet-205]

I already have a great gaming PC (3770K + HD7850), even though I rarely game on it (doing x264 encoding most of the time).

Right now I'm catching on games I have yet to play on old console (Wii + PS2). As for plan to get new consoles, priority is PS VIta, PS4, and maybe Wii U.

 

[Costello]

also I just realized... with that whole used game fee bullshit, you can't borrow games from friends and install them on your own console
that's so retarded...
and (from Kotaku's article posted above) the console has to be online at least once in 24 hours, that's not even a possibility for me due to my location

 

[PolloDiablo]

Like usual...
PC and eventually a Wii U

the best from both worlds

 

[Maxternal]

Hmm, despite what I personally voted, this is not the results I expected.

I guess a little xBoxOneDoomed is in order here.

It has to be online once a day if playing single player games. The rest of the stuff is different so watching blu-rays or something requires different set up. And you can borrow games from a friend, except you'd have to pay the fee, or log in with their account.

As for used games, they're working on a way for users to trade games online. And the Xbox Hard Drive isn't user-serviceable. So no replacing or upgrading. Instead you'd have to buy an external HDD.

Iono, to be honest, things just aren't looking all that good for the One (Jesus that sounds dumb saying, and people complain about "WiiU). There's still time to change it all, but I doubt they will.

You mean XboxDone

 

[KingVamp]

You mean XboxDone

You are starting to sound like the Wii u doomsayers.


Considering that I already got a Wii u, ps4 is the next best thing.

 

[Maxternal]

XboxDone

Catchy
now with Nintendoomed seeming not to apply anymore, why doesn't PS4 have the same thing?

... how about PS4gotten ?

 

[The Milkman]

MAYBE PS4, only if my rig gets outdated later in the gen
(since its a laptop its going to be a pain in the ass, if not completely impossible to upgrade.)

 

[431unknown]

I already have the Wii u and I'll probably pick up a PS4 on launch day. As far as the Xbox One... maybe I'll get one but only after its been out a few years and has a decent library of platinum hits or what ever MS calls their top selling games these days.

 

[Motobug]

I already have a Wii U and a decent PC, and I'll probably get a PS4 sometime next year, and eventually a One (like, late in this gen like I did with the 360).

 

[Bladexdsl]

none
ps4: i don't want anything to do with sony and their despicable business practice.
one: it's a fucking media pc!

so for me it's wiiu for ninty exclusives
and
pc for everything else (which will be 95% of the games on the others )
