Sony is crushing all in its path right now. Expect a Kinnect-less SKU from Microsoft in Jan-Feb. They have no choice.
This time around both consoles are going head to head and PS4 is wiping the floor with XB1.
It's cheaper.
It's more powerful.
Sony have better exclusives track record.
Most things on PS4 are not behind the paywall.
Everyone wants a PS4.
There are only 2 reasons 360 was dominant over here...
You think that's incredible? You just wait until the end of December figures.
The PS4 is massive everywhere in Europe and especially here in the UK. The launch was everywhere in the media but the XB1 launch was very quiet.
Everyone is talking about the PS4 over here. It is the MUST HAVE christmas present this year. Demand is so high that Sony will have problems meeting it.
300K may have been sold but they could of sold 500k+ easily just i...
Are you joking? The XBox 360 has been dominant here in the UK over the PS3. Game shops have always had larger and more prominent displays for 360 games, consoles and accessories.
Heck, even the UK press have been very 360-focused over the past 6-7 years. Guess they will all have to welcome a new era akin to PS2 days.
It does feel great to at last have a new console king in town. It's such a breath of fresh air.
The one company focusing o...
Have we stepped into a parallel universe?
PS4 selling way more than XBox in the US & the UK?
Microsoft's strongest markets?
Now joking either. Here in the UK the XB1 launch passed over with little fuss. But everyone is talking about the PS4 launch.
So many people want one for Christmas for their kids. For some reason it is THE Christmas 2013 present to be seen to be getting. These are strange times indeed. Maybe the bloody nose Microso...
What a stunner!!!!
Look at the triggers on that one!
"John Smith" just delivered mine an hour ago.
Well done Shopto & DPD!
Never had an XBox myself although the kids had two. When I got my PS3 they said "you got no games.. we got Halo and Gears".
I then got MGS4, Motorstorm, Resistence, Wipeout, Infamous, Killzone, Uncharted, etc. etc. and 5-6 years down the line they still only got "Halo and Gears...". This is the main reason I never got an XBox. No good exclusives.
Same with Nintendo. Mario, Zelda, Mario, Mario, Mario. All great games in themselves like Halo...
At least they are owning the problem this time around. I Hope all new console owners get any issues sorted out very quickly.
Going to be mighty interesting to see what the PS4 ships this Friday.
XBox One consoles still on shelves is gonna hurt when you most likely will not get a PS4 for love or money (except ebay).
For many, many different reasons the PS4 is THE console to have this Christmas. You guys can debate the reasons all day long but the demand is there.
It is going to take until Feb-Mar 2014 before you can see PS4s sitting on shelves for longer than a day ...
Have gone with ShopTo as well. DPD so far have been great. They even text me on the day to say within what hour they will deliver.
But just imagine how many XB1s and PS4s are gonna be delivered. What a logistical nightmare!
Sorry people but I cannot find anything bad to say about Microsoft or the XB1 today. It is their big day and a massive congratulations goes to Microsoft and every new XBox One owner.
I am a very jealous UK gamer waiting for the PS4 but hope all new XB1 consoles run perfectly without any issues at all. The new XBox One owners are enjoying an awesome day today.
Microsoft can say whatever they want today. It's their party - let them enjoy every minute of it...
If you are the owner of a new sparkling XBox One today I guess you do not give a damn if it takes a little longer to install just as long as you can play your new next gen games!
As I jealous PS4 fan still waiting in the UK I can only offer my best wishes to all XB1 owners on their fantastic launch. Here's hoping there are no major issues.
Today is Microsoft's Day. A big congratulations to them and all new XB1 owners. Let the games begin...
I cannot wait for my PS4 next week but come on Sony. Show some class. You have performed brilliantly up to now. But today is Microsoft's Day.
What an amazing day to be an owner of a new XBox One. Lets hope there are no major issues and everyone has a blast with their next gen awesome gaming.
If disk drives are the same speed it must be the read times of the BluRay. I thought both new consoles were 6x speed. It is news to me that XB1 uses 1x-2x BluRay speed.
But regardless a massive congratulations to all new owners of XBox One. Here's hoping you have many, many great and awesome hours of next gen gaming in the years to come.
I gotta wait until next week for my PS4 in the UK. It's great to see both consoles have launched pretty much unscat...
From a soon to be UK owner of a PS4 can I just say congratulations to every new owner of an XBox One.
I am jealous you get yours first. I hope all these problems get sorted soon and you all enjoy your brand new next gen greatness.
All true gamers wish you the best of times!
We will all find out soon enough.
Good luck to those getting their hands on next gen greatness in a few hours.
I guess living in the USA does have some advantages....
Its like saying, "It's not the winning that counts.. its the taking part!".
Uninstalled previous Playstation App and then rebooted S3 and using web browser on the S3 I held finger on link and it gave option to open with Play Store. Opened and installed.
Works a treat! Try it again using the phone only...
Very quick. Trophies load fast. The store is way quicker than on PS3. Awesome...
That's about £18.00 in UK money. What a bargain.
