Why do you say that? I have a ps4 just curious [/quote]
I own both as well. The Xbox one has some cool gimmicks like the Kinect, but the PS4 is more powerful and more responsive than the Xbox. Both are new and have room to grow, but for sheer gaming, the PS4 is the obvious choice to me, outside of exclusives. Just my 0.02[/quote]
Agree with this except I think the Sony exclusives are better (personal opinion).
The Xbox One is slower, period. And I don’t even mean vs. the PS4, it is slower than the 360 as well (I had a 360 that I really liked, but traded it in towards the One). Personally I think the interface took a step backwards (from the 360) as well. The menus feel clunky and basic things can’t be done (at least I can’t figure it out) like sending a voice message vs a text message. At first I thought the controller was a step back, but I’m starting to get use to it and I think it’s fine. The triggers are very sensitive (supposedly for racing games), however, they still use AA batteries. AA really? Also, and this is minor, but why is the One twice as big as the PS4 when it is less powerful? The giant power brick is also sweet…
It’s kind of funny, but the only thing I think the One has over the 360 and PS4 is the upgraded Kinect (although I still think it’s a gimmick at best). It’s neat to run my DirectTV box through the One and use the Kinect (or the One’s smart glass app) to control the TV. You just say “Xbox Espn” and it goes to espn, which is neat. Unfortunately it kinda blows at understanding/listening. The other issue is that sometimes mid game the Kinect will think you gave it a command and do Lord knows what. For example, a couple of times during a Call of Duty online match I’d say something into the mic, which is pretty much garbage by the way (not that the PS4s is great), and the Kinect did an internet search or pulled up my TV… Kind of annoying. You are constantly saying Xbox stop listening.
Otherwise, the graphic look about the same to me (in COD anyway, which I have on both PS4 and Xbone). I haven’t played anything else yet. I also don’t think Xbox has done enough for early adopters. On the PS4 I have a couple of free games that are pretty fun, I haven’t seen anything on Xbox yet. They might be there, but I haven’t seen it.[/quote]
Ah I see. Yeah I use my PS4 mostly for gaming/watching vids so the extra features of the xbox one just weren’t enticing to me. Also I LOVE the uncharted series and knowing those developers will put out something for ps4 in the somewhat near future is good enough a buying reason for me. Also infamous looks great as well to bide me over
