Xbox One!

[Staar]

So guys/girls! how many here pre ordered the Xbox One? and did you pre order some games with it?

[HAL 9000]

i havent pre-ordered it yet.. i wanna see it played and play it first before i buy any of the new systems... i wanna see if they are worth the extra money

[brad]

Nah I am going playstation route, basically because it seems more focused on just gaming and not a media service type of box.

[LabelMeAnOutlaw]

I'll eventually get both but nowhere near release (years later). Too big of a backlog of games to play to worry about next gen anytime soon.

[GreenL420]

And the majority of the gaming community would agree with this.

well said. exactly my thought. friends say to me omg xbox way better multiplayer, ZOMG, i think that is the best think that multiplayer is quite shitty on ps, enough solo games which kick some asses, but ok my vote

PS4

Not entirely alot of spots are sold out of both ps4 and xboxone pre orders since ms decisions to revert back.For me i use my xbox to do alot of the media stuff watching movies and stuff so i like it however i will get a ps4 soon after the xboxone.

I dont.. I hate the ps3 Controller.. Too flimsy and the analogs being side by side just bugs me..

But both have pros and cons.. Maybe ps3 has the edge

Indeed, but it is hard for me to make a complete switch from xbox to playstation. I am sure many people feel the same way. We have put so much time into our username on xbox and our achievements. My friends list is 5 times as large on xbox then on my ps3. So I do not want to lose all my friends just because I only buy a ps4. So ideally I will most likely get a xbox one.

The ps4 is superior in graphics sure, but it offers nothing more then what the ps3 already offers. Xbox has put in a lot more features just to appeal to a wider range of people. People say the live tv and the fantasy league features and voice control is not appealing to the average gamer, but that is not designed to just be for a gamer. That is designed for anyone. It is more of a home entertainment system which I think will give the xbox a edge in sales.

Ps4 will only be better in graphics on exclusive games. Cross platform games designed for both systems are created for the lowest common demoninator. Say say you want madden 25 for ps4, it will look exactly the same and have all the same features as the xbox version. But if you get a exclusive game, those games will be able to utilize all the features it can since it does not have to limit itself on xbox standards. There aren't that many ps4 exclusive games.

You also have to be careful buying games as soon as they come out for either system. We seen what happened with games on the launch of ps3 and xbox 360. They were mediocre and even missing features that their predecessors had because the designers were still getting use to the new architecture. I remember the madden game for ps2 had everything. It had nets for the field goal post, you could run into the sidelines players, it had franchise, it had better commentary, it had create a team, relocate a franchise, you could be owner and set ticket prices, upgrade your stadium, it had scouting college talent, and position battles, captains etc.

The first year it came out for ps3, it didn't have any of this. Hell it took them 7 more years to put a field goal net back in and they are just now putting all the ownership, create a team, relocation, setting prices etc back in this year after it not being on the xbox 360/ps3 versions at all but still being on the original xbox and ps2 versions back in 2004-2006! So I can only imagine how limited the first year titles for the next gen systems will be.

[Rise58]

Had a 360 for a few then moved to ps3 an im very much more satisfied. I use it for media too an plays all my media just fine.. Sony has always focused on simplesity..Function > Form an thats why i enjoy it so much.

Ps4 for me easy choice

For me its about the exclusives that Sony is killing microsoft in, thats why I chose PS3 after I bought my first 360, sure xbox had great ones back in the day like Halo 3 Gears of War but they don't have crap that interest me now..Sony kicking out Uncharted series, Killzone, Infamous, Last Of Us etc etc and will surely continue to grow in the next generation console of the ps4.

And the PS4 is a huge improvement over the ps3 in social interacting with your friends and other players, did you watch e3?
