So NOW...which is better? PS4 or XBOX One?

[Dirtbag59]

PS4 is the safer bet. Slightly better graphics (technically 50% more power, which isn't really as much a difference as one would think) but the end result is more multiplat games are 1080p with higher frame rates on PS4 than XBox One. Personally the only reason I'm even entertaining the idea of an Xbox One at this point is I'm interested in Halo 5 and the Master Chief Collection but thats a lot of money for a handful of games.

Chances are games like GTA5 remastered is going to look and play better on PS4 than XBO.

Sony's in house studios have also done a much better job than Microsoft on exclusives. Most notable game as of late being The Last of Us (Remastered). Other games like Uncharted 4 and The Order: 1886 also figure to be pretty good not to mention that with a PS4 you'd get to play The Last of Us 2. On top of that Sony as a whole seems to support their first party studios a lot more than Microsoft.

Many of my favorite games last gen were in fact Sony Exclusives (Heavy Rain, Uncharted 1-3, Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, Infamous 1-2, God of War 3, MLB the Show) where as the only exclusives I owned for my 360 were...well Halo games and the original Dead Rising.

(Of course though I'm not a huge fan there's little doubt that no one in the industry is better than Nintendo at first party exclusives.)

There's also rumblings inside the Microsoft Board Room that the gaming division of Microsoft isn't profitable enough so I'd guess there's a ~10% risk that the XBO could get Dreamscast'd, though the more likely result is someone like Warner Brothers would buy the gaming division of Microsoft in that scenario.

Of course why choose between PS4 and XBox One when you can get a bad ass PC? Granted you wouldn't be able to play Madden but that might change as Fifa and NBA 2K15 will feature the PS4/XBO engines on their PC counterparts.

Over a year later and I still find this video hilarious

Well, I would, ultimately, go the route of building my own gaming system, but I would not be satisfied with getting middle of the road parts for it. Which means I'd probably put 10 times the amount of money into a gaming computer as I would a gaming console. Although, in terms of shooter games, I'd rather play those with a keyboard and mouse than controller - but I am mostly into sports games - with Madden being my all time favorite.

One thing I have always liked about the XBOX is the kinect feature. Although, I've thought about buying an XBOX 360 (for cheap) and the kinect for the workout games. Does PS4 still support Move?

It does support the move, but only in very minimal aspects. The Move has been a bit of a joke as has all motion controlled gaming lately. Like others have said, both are roughly the same system with the ps4 having slightly higher specs. The big keys for me as someone who had both and traded in my PS4 already, but kept my XB1 was exclusives and online. I've had far fewer issues with the online on my XB1, have much more in the way of friends who went Xbox, and all the exclusives or noticeably better version of multi platform games I wanted for PS4 either got delayed or turned into dissapointments like infamous and the order. I'm super stoked for Sunset Overdrive, the Master Chief Collection, and Quantum Break for my Xbox one as well as the main supported console for titles like Evolve and The Division. I know I'll own a PS4 again next year for Batman(best console version) and Bloodborne, Until Dawn,and eventually Uncharted 4 (sadly not the order anymore after seeing and playing it in person) because just like last gen with my PS3 & 360 I like being able to play all of the exclusives which means owning everything at some point.
