FAIL LOGIC TROLL LOGIC IS FAIL.

@SiLenTWarrior29 That's not why you're getting a PS4.

@blegit97 Maybe in your eyes

That's best story ever I love it! *thumbs up*

@GameReviewGuru Look, there's two women fu***ing a polar bear!^^

@PixelAddict Go with PC then. Both consoles will get EMU anyway because they are almost same with PC.

@Hal3x not gonna lie, you, have some pretty garbage reasons here.

the fact that it weighs less is really not applicable. does the weight of tjehe console have ANYTHING to do with the gaming experience at all?

reason 3. how does the design of the box effect your gaming experience? and the "better" design is subjective becaue they both basically look the same. just one is a slanted rectangular box and one isn't.

9. what has Sony done that is more indie friendly? Are they making it so that all of their consoles double as Dev kits? and are they giving out free Dev kits to their indie devs until launch (or whenever they have the ability to make each system a dev kit?)

and reason 12. Sony actually holds a crap ton of patents for DRM consoles. and again neither system is out yet, so the policies that never got implemented in the first place have had exactly ZERO EFFECTS ON ANYONES LIFE.

13. actually the pretty much any company that has a presence in the US has to comply with the NSA or face MAJOR legal repercussions. actually it may be MORE harmful to a company not based in the US to not comply because it reflects very poorly on them in a global market sense. it means that less countries are likely to let them sell their products there because of international trust issues.

@Hal3x

1- Because cheaper = Better?

2- Hardware is virtually identical, and XBox One has cloud processing.

3- No arguing that.

4- They both have chargeable controllers.

5- Can't argue that, either.

6- No idea why that's an issue, or why this is its own number. Size and weight should fall under design.

7- Meh. If that's important to you, fine.

8- That's a sick bundle. I'd get that, if it were available here. (I'm not a fanboy, I play both systems)

9- Not anymore.

10- I don't know what a DS4 controller is, but the XBox controller is superior in every way. PS4's controller has a clickable touchpad, which is cool, but will probably go unused most of the time.

11- Yeah, the Gold paywall on stuff like streaming video and DVR is a terrible policy, I agree.

12- I don't care what MS tried to do. They're not doing it now, so it won't affect me. That's all that matters.

13- Grow up.

So out of 13 listed reasons, I only see two that are legitimate reasons to select the PS4. And let's be real, here's what your list would have looked like if you were being honest:

1- It's Sony, and I'm blindly loyal to their brand because I have a delusion that they care about me.

@Hal3x Since when xbox can't recharge batteries?

DS4 has more features? Which one? Xbox one is unreachable with design and greatnes. Feedback trigers, priceles

@Hal3x Reasons on getting a Xbox One and why get it instead of PS4

1 - Snap, Skype, Smart Match, Cloud, Kinect and TV. It also have blu-ray, Twitch, donwload/install while playing like PS4.

2 - Better design

3 - Worth +$100

4 - Halo, Forza, Dead Rising, Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, Quantum Break, Fable Legends, Killer Instinct, Titanfall

5 - Best controller ever with features that really improve your gameplay. DS4 has a ugly giant light on the back vs. a small IR LED that does the same thing. Xbox One is improving rumble making the (already spetacular) FPS and racing experience even better. And I don't know if this counts, but personally I think the DS4 design is like 5 different teams worked on different pieces and created an ugly, inconsistent piece of hardware that want to be an Xbox controller but can't abandon the DS design.

6 - I don't actually care about weigh and size of a product that will just stand near my TV

7 - It can be on for 10 years straight.

8 - You can decide either if you want batteries or AA's (what happens if you have a problem with intern batteries?)

9 - Kinect with 1:1 precision, sees in the dark, speech recognition, IR blaster to turn on devices, heart rate scaner etc. All that with one camera that allow up to 6 people to play vs. the PS Eye that require Move/Navigation controllers for each individual.

10 - Games With Gold let you keep games forever instead of renting like Instant Collection.

11 - It's not forcing DRM, region lock or online restriction. You're trying to bash the console with old arguments because you have nothing better.

12 - Xbox Live is stable, fast and reliable vs. PSN going down for a month, between many cases of poor service.

13 - Better enterteinment ecosystem

14 - MS isn't desperately trying to promote themselves upon the competition

15 - Beautiful headset with volume and mute options with LEDs vs. cheap earpiece

16 - Dedicated servers

17 - 5gb RAM for games vs PS4's 4,5gb. Plus: Xbox has a DDR3 + SRAM setup that can be faster in theory (but I don't really care about raw numbers)

To sum it up: Sony is playing really safe, releasing a PS3 with better hardware that doesn't offer nothing really new until now, nothing I can't get on my PC. There's no game that says "next-gen" on it with great features other than graphics (Killzone vs Titanfall, DriveClub vs Forza for example). They're only pulling this "We <3 indies" to sell more Vitas (the fun fact here is that it sold less than the Kinect), since there's no support for it.

Still, I see the PS4 is a great product. Not my favorite, not my choice, but a good one. I hope people just don't go like "i'm buying this one because m$ hurt my feelings" and see the consoles for what they really are at the launch. Or maybe I don't really care.

@Hal3x In Australia its only $50 cheaper.. But although I have them both on pre-order I agree with you on every other point

@Hal3x 16. Does not require a PS+ subscription to play free-to-play titles such as Planetside 2 and Warframe.

@Hal3x it's like a first draft, cut it down by half, then trim it and maybe think about rewriting it :)

14- It's launching in more regions then Xbox one

15- It has Voice recognition

There's probably more but i can't think anymore for right now.

@Hal3x all very good reasons ;-) , you wont hear me bashing someone for getting an xbone in any case , but the ones that try to act like M$ is kind will get bashing , lets face it M$ has been caught with alot of bad S**T lately like the NSA and the ones that try to defend them saying "NSA has no interest in you" has no concept of the effects of corruption power has , maybe some wont have an interest , some might be bored and feel like throwing their "power" around and find something juicy for them to have fun with. nothing can be done about that but like i said with M$ having a bad history now iwth that , and with the disaster that was at E3 . trust is something they will not have.

@Hal3x In PlayStation, We Trust

@drodriguesaar lol yea XD

@pezzott1 Only 100 of which actually have anything to do with the topic. This is a battleground section.
