Cnet Prizefight: PS4 vs. Xbox One

It's a throwdown for next-gen gaming supremacy. Sony's PlayStation 4 takes on Microsoft's Xbox One for the first of many battles in the next-gen gaming console wars. Who reigns supreme?

what a joke .. they gve the edge in hardware to the xbone for having HDMI input

and ignored the GPU/RAM adv for PS4

RiPPn4548d ago

The value round shouldn't have been a tie either, $100 less for more powerful hardware, $10 less on the annual service, and the free games that come with plus should have easily edged that round.

ar000434548d ago

Well, they had to ignore lots of stuff to end up with that score. Pathetic comparison imo.

first1NFANTRY4548d ago

It's Cnet folks, nothing too see here. Aren't these guys owned by MS? The comparisons are far from accurate.

MorePowerOfGreen4548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

They also ignored XB1's more RAM bandwidth, faster CPU and 8 gigs of flash for non gaming stuff. What's your point?

Basically sounds like they were scoring based on not trying to upset PS4 fans.

"the hardcore gamer in me says PS4" when they just gave the edge to XB1 in games? LOL

MSFT has invested more than any company in exclusives this generation and has a new vast cloud compute dedicated server network lol

"MSFT has invested more than any company in exclusives this generation"

You can throw as much money at devs as you want, but if they aren't as talented as the competition, then you wont get better, simple as that. Where is MS's equivalent to Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Quantic Dream, Media Molecule, Sucker Punch, Polyphony Digital, SOE and many others?.....Every single generation Sony wipes the floor with MS when it comes to exclusives....you think the PS4 will be any different? The cloud can't save you, stop hanging onto that. Real talent is what's needed and we all know Sony has the best devs in the business.

Rainstorm814548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

really? do you really believe this shiz.....

I find it funny all the Xbox fans screaming Exclusives, were the same fans saying exclusives didn't matter when Sony was providing tons of new IPs and exclusive games

"MSFT has invested more than any company in exclusives this generation"

Really? the millions spent on timed exclusives and DLC couldve made MS first party studios very strong. MS is too content riding the multiplat train to care about exclusives...give it 3-4 years and support will dwindle on the ONE just like on the Xbox and 360, to focus on other things.

Every other game company has a better track record than MS when it comes to exclusives

They spent more money on GTA4 DLC...than it costed Sony and ND to make Uncharted 1 and 2

frostypants4548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

You're excited over $3 worth of flash memory? Really, man?

"MSFT has invested more than any company in exclusives this generation"

Paid exclusivity != investing in exclusive development.

kneon4548d ago

Don't take it seriously, CNET has the most technically illiterate tech journalists of any site I've ever seen. This is just normal for them.

LoydX-mas4548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

So you agree that the "first look" reviews of the PS4 and Xone with Jeff Bakalar shouldn't be taken seriously either, right?

You know the reviews that make him sound like he is smoking someones pipe at Sony?

PS4 review: "here is it is, the PS4 in all its glory"
vs.
Xone review: "Its a little bigger than the PS4, and not as pretty".........well that's objective journalism at its best.

kneon4548d ago

I don't take anything from CNET too seriously. They are generally too clueless and biased to have a valid opinion. And I'm not just talking about consoles.

ThePope4548d ago

They also are giving lots of praise to the PS4 controller, because it is way better then the awful PS3 controller. Because something is better than the thing it replaced doesn't make it the best controller ever.

donman14548d ago

Any site that glorifies the iPhone and worship anything apple makes (CNET) is never a reputable site for any real reviews. Clearly they lack the skill set needed to do a real review since the majority buy a GAMING CONSOLE because it has an HDMI input. IDIOTS.

gamer20134548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

Yeah I agree with you but to be fair, most comparisons that I've seen don't even take the Xb1 additional features or XBL into account; which I think is really unfair.

Hicken4548d ago

It's funny, but this isn't the first time cnet's been off on a technical comparison or article, despite being a tech website.

I was wary coming into this article when I saw it was from them, and now I see my reasons were justified.

@Green

"They also ignored XB1's more RAM bandwidth"

You mean the more bandwidth that only 32meg can use at a time? Gotcha. Please do your research.

Because no one is really taking full advantage of it. Maybe a little crisper graphics on multi platform titles, but other than that nothing more. But what bothers me the most about this is how they value design as much as video games,features,ect. Overall this wasn't a bad prize fight.

Rainstorm814548d ago

Its seems like they made that intentionally close.....then say neither is worth getting right now...SMH

IcicleTrepan4548d ago

Well TBH.. there aren't that many games out yet for either system.

Rainstorm814548d ago

Who buys more than 3 games at launch.... really?

and to say there isn't 3 games worth playing on the 4 or One is ridiculous.

I put 20+ hours in AC4 alone...let alone NBA2k14

mcstorm4548d ago

I agree. If you look at the line up of games on both systems and you already have a 360 or PS3 then unless you really fancy one of the exclusives over any of the games on the current gen why would you play £400 to £500 on a new consoles for the same game you can get on your current consoles for £40.

I got the one over the PS4 because I wanted Forza more than any other game but I have not got any 3rd party game on my One or WiiU for that matter as its all been about the exclusives for me so far this year.

That may change next year but so far the lineup I want are exclusives on the One and WiiU than any of the 3rd party games.

That said though I think anyone who gets a WiiU PS4 or Xbox One will not be disappointed with it as all 3 offer a great gaming experience and people should get the one they want not what people think they should get.

Ghostbob4548d ago

Cnet Prizefight,Match fixing!!!!

Grave4548d ago

Yet again another tie with the caveat "not right now". What is this like the "n"th time this has happened? I think game journalists are scared to pick the real winner.

vikingland14548d ago

@Grave
It was not a tie PS4 won.

Grave4548d ago

D'oh! Ya saw that I guess I should watch 10 more seconds past the 3.5 - 3.5

I am a dum-dum.

cityboy1004548d ago

We the gamers are the winners I'll be enjoying the hell out of both.

Cacabunga17d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot16d 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…

HectixRose17d 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.

JEECE17d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername16d 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.

Soy17d ago

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

DarXyde17d 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.

Ashunderfire8617d 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.

Ashunderfire8617d ago (Edited 17d 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.

pwnmaster300017d 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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d ago

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