PS4 or XBOX - What are you getting?
on: November 04, 2013, 18:25:40 PM
Just interested to see what everyone is getting and why, and I appreciate that both have slightly different target markets..

I'm going to get a PS4 for a number of reasons:

  • I have a PS3
  • My friends are all pretty much going go be on PS4
  • PS Plus is a great value service (currently)
  • I'm only using mine for gaming and BlueRays

Also does the fact that the PS4 will no longer support DLNA and your own CD/MP3 content impact this? I also find it strange that they will only have a 500GB HD, I don't see a lot of games fitting on this!

Discuss  ;D

I'll be getting xboxone, mostly because I'm abit of a fanboy but also because I've allways had a 360 and I'm very happy with everything it does so if the one can improve on that, then good stuff :D

I've not preordered so if there is one in stock anywhere on day1 I'll get it otherwise I'm in no rush.

i cancelled a launch PS4 & ordered an xbox one.
Games more suited for me + its more of an entertainment centre.

Xbox One here since I wan't Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall.

I may buy a PS4 eventually since I do have a PS3 but they need to show that they have improved the online service before I start paying them for it.

I was 100% going for xbox one, but from reading reviews, the ps4 seems well above the xbox in terms of power, display resolution etc!?

Neither, both have a barren release schedule. I'll wait till the games that are worth playing come out.

PS4 for much of the same reasons mentioned, though I'll be waiting for decent games to arrive. Not having something like GTA5 on PS4 is a miss IMO. They should have got another Gran Tourismo out the door or something like that.

PS4 is more powerful on paper but it will all come down to how developers utilise the power. The 360 had a more powerful graphics chip than the PS4 but the games that have come out recently show that the PS3 is very much capable of challenging that, so this time with the One having a slightly weaker graphics chip may not make much difference, it will all come down to the developers.

As for resolution, Forza 5 has been said to run at 1080p at 60fps. Yes some 3rd party games have worse resolution right now but these are first wave games and the devs need to get to grips with the hardware.

I'll end up getting a PS4 at some point, I do own a PS3 along with my 360, but for release I'll be getting the One due to the release games and the fact that Xbox Live is a proven service, what Sony has said it is changing PSN into is not.

I'm thinking of going with a PS4, but at the same time I really like Xbox Live and keeping all my accrued gamer-score, plus I'm not sure about the PS4 controller; the triggers on the Xbox One controller feel much better. But then I also don't like Kinect.

But Titanfall looks amazing! Daaaah! #1stworldproblems

Really not sure which way to go. :dunno:

The PS4 controller is much better than the PS3 controller. I've played AC4 on one but I still think it falls behind the Xbox 360 pad. I can't wait to get my hands on a One pad.

At this minute the difference in power is quite apparent if you want to play COD.

XBone is 720p upscaled to 1080p to get a smooth 60fps.

PS4 is full fat 1080p.

Also, there are some horrendous multiplatform titles on the PS3 compared to the performance on the 360. And finally, the architecture of both machines are terribly PC like from what I understand so its unlikely performance is gonna take a giant leap compared with older consoles having unfamiliar architectures.

Apparently while COD is 1080p on PS4 it has horrendous slowdown when there is a lot of action according to some sites that have hands on with it.
