The deciding factor should be either...

A) get the one that your friends are getting

or

B) get the one that has the games that appeal to you

edit: I will add

C) the one that offers the most bang for the buck (thanks brut..)

D) start with one of them and then pick up the other when the time is right.

Boody-Bandit4566d ago (Edited 4566d ago )

I'm going with C)
The one that will offer me the most for my money / bang for my buck. That is a no brainer for me. It's the PS4.

Edit:
Just so you know I'm not trolling you darth.

PS4
cheaper priced console

more power should = best performance overall
opened ended hardware so I can find cheaper alternatives for headphones, mice / keyboards, FFB wheels, controllers, mics etc... (trust me this adds up)

PS+ offer more value overall with it's discount and free games. That's not an opinion, it's a reality.

So just wanted to make clear I'm not making a blanket claim. Some of what I wrote can be debated that it's subjective but most of it is factual.

I'm not basing my purchase on my friends because this generation I ended up with friends on both sides of the fence which had my dumb @zz more money than common sense purchase multiplat games on both console so I could play with all of my friends. <-This is another reason why it will be more bang for the buck ;)

LOGICWINS4566d ago

I was committed to getting one before, but now I want the other one. Luckily its the one my friends have been planning on getting for months :)

All good sensible choices but most def option D

Eddie201014566d ago

Most people watch Netflix on PS3 last gen and PS3 has many options for watching media and all will carry over to the PS4. From what I have seen of the Playstation camera, It's pretty damn responsive, just as responsive as the Kinect only it's an option not forced and even if you did buy the Playstation camera with the console it is still $40.00 cheaper. The community aspects of the PS4 are looking really good and from what I have seen work very well. I think that Xbox live's advantage over PSN has all but disappeared.

I think this guy would get an Xbox One first no matter what and if that's his choice so be it. Was it necessary to make a long winded video about his decision, much of it being flip flopping. If it is purely about individual preforence and decision why does he need to make a long video evangelizing his decision and the reasons for making it.

Wii U!!!

Nah I'm joking lol

PS4 FTW!

KimoNoir4566d ago

Save money in buying the stronger console and educate yourself in the significant difference and educate your friends. The majority is already going ps4.

Or... Buy the xb for halo and forza. And a great ecosystem that xb always had for social networking and a pretty firm amount of friends that are on the xbox ecosystem and ui.

Thats the reasons why i would buy either one. Ps4 for free to play games and stronger hardware that outputs a difference in resolution compared to xb. Resolution mainly because im a pc gamer and my eyes are cultured to knowing the difference in detail and visual fidelity between 720 and 1080

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot17d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose18d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE18d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy18d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde18d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8618d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300018d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
