Their analysis: people who bought PS3 will buy PS4, and people who bought 360 will buy X1.

Yeah, that's what's making the Wii-U sell like gangbusters, right? Those who bought a Wii will buy a Wii-U...

Over the last few months we've seen a LOT of people decide to switch from 360 over to PS4, but I haven't seen nearly as much momentum of people switching from PS3 to X1, not even close.

Other than the above, a decent analysis, but they wimp out in the end and don't even give a verdict to this "versus" match.

Let the games begin!(Bane voice)

On a serious note, who cares which console you buy, get the console of your choice and be happy for other people. This fanboy war is ridiculous and is getting out of control.

OlgerO4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

Yeah why waste energy on that shit when you can play and enjoy games!

Blackdeath_6634571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

its a genuine discussion regarding the next gen of consoles its only immature people who make it into a war and the stupid article who fuel those people

givemeshelter4571d ago

You talk too much sense for N4G.COM... Expect your post to be down bubbled and possible restriction ban ;-)

chito1016d4571d ago

I switched from 360 to ps4 because I felt like they have great exclusives and I won't be using a camera to game in my room. I'll be grabbing a xbone next spring for the living room though. Both systems look great.

heliumhead20304571d ago

I don't believe you. PC has most and best exclusive period

LOGICWINS4571d ago

"but they wimp out in the end and don't even give a verdict to this "versus" match."

They did give a verdict. Both have their pluses and minuses and its up to you to decide what features are more important to you.

The XB1 does a MUCH better job of marrying gaming/non-gaming entertainment than the PS4. But the PS4 is the more simplistic, more powerful machine.

The "better" console is subjective.

yarbie10004571d ago

I love how you give the most logical answer, and still come away with more disagree votes simply for being sensible.

LOGICWINS4571d ago

Being sensible is often frowned upon here. One console always needs to be "betterz" lol.

Its funny how desperate people are to get affirmation from others that their console of choice is the best.

Hicken4571d ago

That's not much of a verdict.

Sarcasm4571d ago

A lot of the people going from 360 to PS4 are more than likely those who enjoy multiplatform titles that perform better.

Whatever it is, Sony still has an uphill battle with the U.S. media though, but they are making some in roads. The reason I say this is because back when the 360 had better multiplats than the PS3, they made sure to mention how much better it is. Now the notion about PS4 vs X1 games is "ohh there's a tiny difference, 720p vs 1080p doesn't matter, blah blah blah"

medman4570d ago

As someone who bought (and enjoyed) both the ps3 and 360, I'm buying the PS4 first this gen, and will buy the xbone later on when the price drops. That is the opposite of what I did last time, as I bought my 360 first (mainly because it had the games I had to play, like the first Gears of War and Mass Effect) and waited for the ps3 to come down in price before I bought. This time around it's Sony's stellar first parties and their ridiculous exclusives that would have me buying the PS4 first even if it were the higher priced console with the weaker specifications. It's all about the games for me. Always has been.

mayberry4570d ago

Of course cnet wimped out in the end. Cnet is notoriouse for taking sides with its parent company...

Oh man more flamebait.

You would think everybody would be busy enjoying their week end off time with games I'm enjoying Planetside 2 and I'm currently on a a little break before i get back in.

You would also think that Xbox one gamers would all be prepping themselves with nonstop Xbox 360 action this weekend since their next gen entry is just around that corner.

However it;s great to know that with epic next gen games coming up and a whole generation of innovation and games coming up everybody can this find time to type up these shitty worded a topic regurgitating, unimpressive flamebait articles.

Majin-vegeta4571d ago

I;m waiting for PS2 to come to PS4 :3

BobbytheBuilder4571d ago

same here man, there are so many great games that are going to come out soon

fenome4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

I know right! The playstation store on ps3 has a ps2 classics section and they released crap for it! We got Fatal Frame and that was about it. I was REALLY hoping for some Dark Cloud or Onimusha or whatever, write a list. The ps2 has SO MANY great games. They gave us The Adventures of Cookies and Cream last time, WTF?!

So much wasted potential.. Hopefully they really push 'em through with Gaikai

kratos_TheGoat4571d ago

x1 is the truth & ps4 is a beast

4logpc4571d ago

Cnet should stop....

That piece is just loaded with false information. Fact check Cnet...

ABizzel14571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

It's not false information, just misinformation. There's a lot of information regarding the PS4 that's flatout missing or rolled off as if it's not a big deal, while complete optimism is given to the XBO.

Cnet claims they're not biased, but they are. They're the kings of Apple bias, and frankly many of them preferred the Xbox 360 and it's as if they're making it their agenda to pick the XBO up, by shading the PS4.

I just don't get it, but I had to step in on there and correct many people, and call them out on their BS. I have no problem promoting both consoles, because as consoles their both solid offerings, but be fair about it.

V0LT4571d ago (Edited 4571d ago )

I like all of them but I think the Xbox One has the better launch line up. I'm sure there are some foaming at the mouth for KI3.

kratos_TheGoat4571d ago

if ki reboot does well in review and sales i best believe we get KI2 or kI3 1080p and 60 per sec

Masterchief_KOK4571d ago

looking forward for ki reboot

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

Cacabunga25d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot23d 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…

HectixRose25d 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.

JEECE25d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername24d 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.

Soy25d ago

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

DarXyde24d 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.

Ashunderfire8624d 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.

Ashunderfire8624d ago (Edited 24d 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.

pwnmaster300025d 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.

solideagle24d 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

Relientk7724d ago

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