Playstation 3: it was mostly about the price.
X1: DRM, Kinect, Indie developers

I'd have to say X1. Especially since it was being launched against the PS4 and they differed so much. The difference mainly being DRM which was a huge deal breaker for some people.

POS Fanboy much? Killzone is selling "amazing" because what other exclusive title is worth pre-ordering for PS4? Forza cant be compared to KZ because entirely different markets. FPS have a much larger market than simulation racing games. Driveclub is no where near the game Forza is, not even on the same playing field. And your detailed thoughts on Ryse are just your opinion. It's not my type of game but it looks excellent. Don't forget, COD and BF4 will be on all the systems...

Thank you, someone with some brains. Just for fun I looked around on Xbox Live at the Indie game section and laughed at almost all of them. I wouldn't pay $1 for any of them. Even if they were free I wouldn't waste my time playing a game someone developed in their basement. Personally I'd rather pay $60 for a real game rather than play a game with a stick character jumping on platforms or something uglier then Atari games.

It's all personal preference. Some pe...

Pretty sure a snipers job is to camp. I know it's a game, but have you ever seen real snipers running around on the battlefield with their sniper rifle? No, they are hidden somewhere sniping from a far. If people want to sit on top of buildings, find a way up there and get em.

I guess game sales are going to go up for the other launch titles now that people have an extra $60 to spend on a game.

I've been saying it for a while, a $100 won't break the bank. If someone is willing to shell out $400, $500 is not out of reach. Neither console is cheap. Even a PS4, your going to buy a couple games so your already over $500 after 2 games. At the end of the day, $100 isn't the end of the world. You shouldn't be buying either system if $100 is outrageous to you. Saving $100 is easy. Heck, people blow $100 on drinks when they go out to party on a Saturday night.

Pretty cool paint scheme.

How were "we" treated like criminals? Aren't criminals punished? Don't criminals break the law or do something unlawful? Last I checked, MS didn't make you buy an X1. I think MS going back on DRM and Kinect was a way to say "sorry." They knew they messed up and corrected it. So move on already, get over it. It's a company out to make money, just like Sony. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Why do people have to pick apart every word and sentence and turn it into something else? Just looking for excuses and ways to stir up trouble. Who's to say 5 years down the road PS won't change something? No one can predict the future. People leave organizations, new people come in with new ideas, things change. Take it for what it is now.

If I got that discount, I'd buy a ton of games then sell them all on eBay.

@cleft5
"Trying to justify the Xbox One price at $500 is like trying to justify the PS3 price at $500 to $600 when it was first released, the whole thing is pointless.

If people out there are okay with spending $500 for a console, than thats fine. I wish everyone the best with their purchase, but I am going with the console that best fits my needs and has the right price for me."

So just so I understand, $500 = out of your price point. $400 ...

Everyone know's PS+ is 10000X better then Xbox Live. You get free indie games. Who wouldn't want to play a game that some guy made in his basement? Playstation online in general is 100000X better because you can use Netflix to watch terrible old movies without needed PS+. See? Isn't PS+ better?

Did I understand it correctly that if you download Forza to your hard drive, then go to a friends house, you can play the game on their Xbox as long as your signed in to your profile? And access saves? If that's right, that's an awesome feature. But I'm sure I misheard it.

I agree, the reputation system is flawed. If you drive backwards, you should get negative rep. But if you dominating online and your just really good at a game, people will hate on you and give you negative rep too. So the person who drives backwards and the person who dominates will be matched together...makes perfect sense **sarcasm**

I've watched gameplay videos of both COD and BF4, and in my opinion, BF4 looks next gen and COD doesnt. Gameplay itself, thats all preference. COD is fast paced and close quarters, BF4 is large maps and big battles. Never been a COD fan so it's BF4 for me.

Good idea

OR

Pre-order the 360/PS3 version (to get the $10 credit) and pre-order the PS4/X1 version. When you get both in the mail, go to Gamestop or Walmart, say you got it as a present and return the PS3/360 version and pick something else out. A lot of work but at least you get the $10 credit for a future purchase

I can't wait for both of these systems to launch so these articles start to go away and it becomes all about the games. Buy whichever system you like, whichever fits your needs, and be happy.

5 minutes after the system is launched, eBay will have 5,000 different vinyl's for the system. Same as the current system you can put these giant stickers/decals on and change look of your system.

Man, you kids must have a PS move shoved so far up your ass. Fanboy much? Lol get a life. Wetting your pants over something so minor.

Funny how the article didn't mention the #1 most important factor for an online gaming service.....the actual online gaming. COD and BF are some of most popular online games, and I believe they sell best on Xbox because of the excellent online service.

Sorry but I don't care about getting free crappy Indie games. I don't watch Netflix because the instant movies are generally old or just bad. Plus I got a Smart TV for that anyway if I wanted. I use my Live for onli...
