Have never liked sony and I hate the ps controller. Will def pick up an xbox one. It is already connected to internet 24/7 and I dont usually buy used games so doesnt really affect me.

I like xbox exclusives far more than I want sonys

this made my day/night
i am a strong microsoft/PC fan and i did buy an xbox 360 (albeit second hand off a friend who needed the cash) but i only really bought it for some of the games they had that all my friends were playing. now though it kinda just sits there doing nothing.
when i had the ps2 i played the crap out of it, battlefront, ff7 and ff9, street fighter, tony hawks etc i briefly owned a ps3 that my brother absconded with when he went off to university. but can't say i really feel like i missed out all that much.
this current gaming console generation has felt a bit meh to me, however the new ones look Ahhhh-may-zing. apart from the xbone...that looks like a plastic breeze block and their policies seem....yeh anyway.
PS4 for me if i get the funds to get one. The Crew (drool), tom clancys new one (mouth starts to froth) and holy shit destiny (ORGASM!!!!)
not to mention the crowd at the sony conference was like the only one that didnt seem like they were being force to applause at gun point.
the fact they are ripping into microsoft so openly and humourously is just a bonus
 
See the worst part is: These should not be FEATURES

Nintendo is left with uhhh I can't believe this is a selling point?!
 
That made my day when i saw that on my twitter. But i will say i am getting ALL the machines bc i like shiny things. Even tho both consoles look like they were from Ataris time with the retro boxy feel to them. I like Xbox for the exclusives and i like Sony for the machine. Sony always produces a better machine and microsoft loves to pay their butt buddies *coughBethesdacough* for exclusive content. And Wii................ Is good for playing netflix.... I need a reason for having it lol Occasionally the Mrs and i do play just dance.

I'm a Xbox fanboy so obviously I'm going to disagree. I like what Xbox is offering. The price point doesn't bother me...especially when it is coming with Kinect and you know PS Eye is going to be $100ish. I also think Smartglass >>> PS Vita to help interact with your console. While PS might be a better "gaming machine", I am currently typing on an even better gaming machine so meh. If you read into Microsoft's policies and the "always on" (which isn't actually a thing. You can tether your phone for 2 minutes to do all the updating you need to do for the day) it is actually quite nice. I like the idea of being able to just go to my brother's house and play my game on his xbox. Plus he can play my games and I can play his...without ever leaving each others houses. And I think most games for Xbox won't have a charge to sell or give someone a used copy. Making this choice would make the 'publisher' the bad guy as they are the one that decides and that wouldn't make sense for publishers to do.

Watching the preview for RYSE also helped solidify my choice - looks epic. I really like the Microsoft exclusives and the fact they stole one of Sony's best exclusives is fun. FM5 will be sweet, The Crew looks great looking forward to that info (later today I believe?), Watchdogs looks sick, Dead Rising 3 also looked great.
 
I went to my gamestop today and talked to my high school buddy who works there. Their manager(i know him too) told them he knows how they all feel about Xbox One but do their best not to show it too much to the customers. I was laughing hysterically. Priceless.
 
This is running in real time on the PS4. If you watched Sony's E3 keynote you will recognize the first half of this. This is the full video. It's worth a watch for the humor itself, but I was really amazed about how life like this really is.

 
I'd really like to get a PS4, not sure how funds will lend themselves to that unfortunately though. That video looks beautious, and I love the 'sharing' ad haha.

Well since the lightning storm also destroye dmy other monitor I think it is time to own a TV, when i can afford it. So a PS4 might be a great addition. We will see when Christmas rolls around.
 
I'm out of the console game now (I'll hop back in when my kids are old enough to play with me), but if I was buying a new system, it'd be the PS4. This is a HUGE departure for me because I've been hardcore Nintendo my whole life. I owned PS2 for a short time between the GameCube and Wii coming out just to bridge the gap and play KH and some Final Fantasy titles. Other than that, it's all Nintendo all the time.

The Wii U just looks like the Wii with a humongous controller. The 2nd screen is a very cool idea, but a lot harder for 3rd party integration, especially if the title is cross platform. The information on the 2nd screen could help clean up the HUD on the TV or make it quicker to access menus and so forth. But so what? It looks like the Nintendo exclusive titles could be fun and innovative with it, but once again Nintendo alienates a lot of cross platform developers.

I find the Xbox's holistic approach intriguing, but it has not doen anything to sell me on it's capablities as a gaming machine. I'm sure you could do some epic Sweatin' to the Oldies workouts with it's schmancy new camera, but I typically play video games when I'm in a more sedentary and vegetative state. I balked a little at the Wii's motion requirements, so full body stuff doesn't appeal to me for the type of gaming I like on a regular basis.

Also, the Xbox One is a blatant grab at a peice of the home ecosystem that is currently being set up by other companies, most notably Apple. It makes sense to have lots of devices that work together and create synergy, but until one company becomes the clear leader or they learn to play nice and let their devices interact, I'm invest the money into a system that may or may not exist in 5 years. I would want to see how the Xbox functions as a hub and if it's really worth it to revovle my entire entertainment ecosystem around it. Personally, I'm not willing to bet on Microsoft right now.

So that leaves Sony. I think they are delivering what gamers want- awesome games with fantastic graphics and access to features like sharing, virtual consoles, and dlc. They seem to be keeping it simple. Doing everything they do well and doing it better and faster.

As a peice of hardware, I think the Xbox One will appeal to more non-gamers and therefore could outsell PS4. But for the gaming faithful, the PS4 seems like the way to go.
