    Why did I buy this


    OP

    I got a Day One Xbox One, sold it to get a PS4 and sold it a month later to get an Xbox One, so I am very familiar with both consoles.

    This is clearly a thread to agitated X1 fans, because the differences between these two beasts is minimal and all you can really CONFIRM is noticeably different between the two is the exclusives and of course the online service.

    Exclusives are a matter of opinion, but Xbox Live offers a FAR more stable and quality online gaming service.

    So go play your PS4, I think we both know you don't own an X1, or you would never have made this post in the first place.

    :)

    Yeah. Doom 3. I just thought it would be a bit more polished or improved.

    Why did I buy this

    Funny thing actually, I JUST did the same thing with my PS4 thanks to the promo. I did this as a someone who's more of a Sony fan, even. Thing is, with the gaming dry spell and my tendency towards PC games anyway, the PS4 hadn't seen much love in a long
    time. I knew the XB1, even if just for its TV/media functionality, would get daily use, and that was the crux of the decision.

    That said, there's a lot of games I think I'd rather play with an XBox controller, so having the choice is nice. Additionally I'm not at all sold on this stupid resolution/FPS argument, it just doesn't matter. The games look great either way, it's negligible.

    I plan on saving for a white PS4 come September but currently don't regret owning an XB1 presently at all... Now I just need to actually buy some games for it!

  5. "Titanfall is really the only game I have on X1 right now. Any suggestions of games that will wow me?"

    Watchdogs maybe but I recommend buying that game used. You could also check out Ryse.

  6. The 10 percent increase in power is up to the developers to get to grips with also it's optional and won't make a massive difference in the end.

    Whatever you say, bud.

    Titanfall servers seem to be down so I guess a trip to the gamestop is in order. I'll give DR3 a try.

    I've often wondered and finally got an honest answer the other day when one of my buddies who's got a PS 4 confessed that the Sony Forums are just as full of trolls and flamebaiters trying to make stuff up to just try and get a bit of attention.

    As someone's already pointed out in this thread it's pretty clear the OP doesn't own an XBox ONE.

    I've had a long day....and I just don't feel like catching up on this thread to say much....I just don't care....so I'll just say this:

    You bought a machine that you think sucks....same thing happened to lots of ppl...you probably got bombarded by hate from all the fanboys here.....some Sony fanboys defended the PS4 when some of the X1 fanboys brought it up....or someone brought up the PS4
    and the X1 fanboys hated on it....and Az probably added nothing to the thread.

    Then everyone is wondering why I wasn't in this thread earlier hating the X1 and loving on the PS4 and now wonder what stupid PS4 fanboy stuff I'll say.

    I just don't care...

    Best thing is if you don't like it or think it sucks, take it back, sell it or trade it in. Failure to do research then complaining on a forum is hardly going to solve your problem.

  13. Why did I buy this

    Ok, I just said this in a different thread, but I'll repeat here: The fact that almost the entirety of difference between XB1 and PS4 multiplat games is varying levels of HD resolution means we are looking at one of the smallest performance gaps between
    consoles in a generation that we've ever seen.

    Would you notice that a PS4 game looks sharper sitting side by side an XB1 game? Yeah, but how often are you actually in that situation?

    If you don't care about exclusives, then picking the one your friends have makes the most sense.

    I've had both since day one and the games look better on PS4. I've played COD and tomb raider on both and the PS4 versions look better. It's less noticeable in Tomb Raider, but in Ghosts it is night and day. I was mostly a Sony guy last gen and I find the
    PS4 to be a little bit boring. With the xbox one I can use it for TV and other stuff, plus I like the UI more. If I were you, I'd keep the xbox one for now. You'll be able to play Halo: MC collection, Sunset overdrive, Forza Horizon 2 this fall. There isn't
    much coming out of PS4 until february when the order is out, Unless you have to play LBP3 and drive club.

    The new June SDK isn't going to really do too much, It will probably allow for a bump in resolution (Destiny) or for more particle effects (Sunset Overdrive) and the Fabled Dx12 will help but won't be a game changer (Phil Spencer said as much.) It's always
    good to have all consoles so you don't miss anything, I'd save up for whatever one you don't stick with so you can play all of these great games coming out.

    @ 34 - The PS4 has something like 24 exclusives coming out in 2014 not counting whats already out.

    Theres not 1 that interests you until The Order?

    Edit: to be honest...I would just keep the X1 as well. By now theres enough games on it to make it worth it...goes for either console....unless you're one of those that wants the higher resolution....and if you do....don't let anyone fault you for it. We
    all have our own wants and likes.

    In any case...I would just save up for the PS4 unless you think you're not going to buy a second console.
