Cross platform multiplayer would be awesome, but I doubt that will ever happen. And what features are you talking about? 

You do realise that Xbox was the first to be backed way back in 2007? To try score points by saying Playstation was hacked is laughable.

Before MS announced they were backtracking, every major online poll had votes of 85-90% in PS's favour over Xbox. Even with these few changes, I still expect PS4 to massively outsell Xbox now. E3 has been a huge disaster for Microsoft.

I've been a loyal Xbox owner for years. Haven't touched a Playstation for even longer. But Microsoft gave us the middle finger and no amount of backtracking can change that. They tried sell us an inferior product, with worse hardware, less exclusives, only usable in 20~ countries, 24 hour online requirements, no-sell on games for £100 more than their rival. Even with the online requirements/selling games removed, it's still a shitty product compared to PS4 and they still have tried fuck us loyal customers over. PS4 all the way now.

Well I'm excited that the big mainstream games are going to be on both consoles and I do agree with Couchie it is just alot more comfortable to play on. Also, the Xbox One is $100 more but you got to think about what they are giving you I mean it does come with the kinnect where PS4 doesn't come with it's motion sensor which would be about $100 more making it the same price as Xbox One. Could have been better if Xbox One would have gave an option to not use Kinnect but it's all good maybe change is good, won't know till you try it. If that whole Spycam conspiracy thing is true well whatever not like there is much to hide all they going to see is a bunch of people staring at a screen for long periods of time, whoever is watching might just end up taking Statistics on amount of people who like to play games nude compared to those with clothes lol but whatever I'm still going to be satisfied.

Couchie:

I love the trivialising of the arguments:

"Who cares about it costing 1/3 more or having worse hardware so the graphics are worse and it runs slower? What matters is how the shitty controllers feel".

FYI, you can buy the Xbox-styled controllers for the PS4 if you wish. Just as you can with the current gen.

 Xbox didn't blow PS3 out either. The PS3 outsold the Xbox on every continent except for North America [not surprising, it's Microsoft territory after all], and even then the PS3 had greater world sales.



Cheekz:

Who the fuck wants Kinect? Unless you're going to play dance games like a faggot, then there's no need for it to be mandatory. The motion sensor for PS4 doesn't cost $100 either, so stop grabbing at random numbers to support your argument. It costs $59. If I want to dance around, I can buy the PS Move and it will still end up cheaper than the mandatory Xbox One/Kinect.

It's simple:

Xbox One costs $100 more, has less exclusives, has a always-spying Kinect, worse hardware allowing for worse graphics/speed and is only available in 20~ or so countries [Asia is completely blocked].

PS4 is $100 cheaper, has more exclusives, doesn't have an always spying motion sensor, better hardware allowing for better graphics/speed and is available worldwide. Oh, and if you're crying over the controller, you can buy Xbox-styled ones that work with the PS4.

I wish I could afford a PS1, PS2, PS3 and 3 360s :p

PS controller seem to be made for child hands while xbox seem to be made for adult hands.. that being said i am still a PS supporter. 

My ps1 still works, my ps2 worked until i sold it, my ps3 still works, a friend of mine had 2 xbox's, none lasted more than 8 months, surprisingly he used it only for movies and Call of Duty.

Just get both if you can afford it , and return the one you don't like considering they come with warranty and your able to return them for no reason for the first couple of weeks.
