Almost everything you write is spectacularly incorrect, even with regard to your favorite vintage consoles. What is the point of this act, Anarchist420? You must be getting quite a kick out of it. :biggrin:
as for the xbox 360, it had atrocious graphics even for its day largely because of all of ati's trademark texture aliasing which is now amd's trademark texture aliasing.
Explain how it is opinion. Looking at the hardware, I fail to see how lower specs at higher price some how makes something better or at the very least equal.
If you want to argue software, well it is hard to argue something that neither have much of. But, for shits and giggles, we can use past consoles libraries if you want. Then it comes down to what I first stated about liking exclusives and picking from that.
because the "better gaming console" is the one that has the games on it that the end user wants to play, not what is more powerful hardware wise. if that were the case, the pc would be the best gaming console out there, yet i haven't played a pc game in years nor do i plan to because i don't enjoy pc gaming. so to me the pc is not even in the same picture as ps4 or x1.
many people would say the ps2 is the better gaming console than the xbox, but it was less powerful. same with the playstation and sega saturn.
so yeah, it's 100% opinion.
Like I said, if you want exclusives for one or the other that is the one to choose. But if exclusives don't play a role, then multiplatform titles will simply be better on the PS4, it is the better gaming console.
And don't even bother bring PC into this. That is like bring the 3DS/Vita into it. It is not a console. You don't enjoy PC gaming yet it can offer a similar or better experience than a console for games you can buy on it. Yes, it has it's own disadvantages but it also has many more advantages as well. But that is for another time.
It's all about the games... Exclusive titles, that is. Multi-platform titles aren't discernably different.
After getting rid of my ps4 and using the xbone for 2 days I will say the interface is way better on the ps4. Its plain and simple right there. On the xbone you have to dig around for shit. Im not a windows 8 fan at all so I knew I wouldn't like the interface on the xbone.
The ps4 is better spec wise but on the network side it doesn't hold a candle to Xbox live.
As a current Xbox 360 owner and Forza fan, the natural tendency would be to go for the Xbox One. However, recent experiences with BF4, COD Ghosts and the Microsoft billing department have taken the XBone out of the picture for me. I've never had a Sony console so I don't know if I would want one or not, but the "pay as you go" philosophy of both "current gen" console companies has made me take a hard look at returning to PC gaming, especially since I don't need any TV/cable/movie features; only games for me.
If I had to choose between the two consoles, I would choose to wait and see as long as I was able to hold out and see how things go.
Exactly. It's also annoying when people use delayed exclusives as if it matters today. The PS4 has an impressive assortment of exclusive games that will come out over the next few years, only the confirmed 2014 releases really matter today for early adopters as they set the tone for the future.
Everyone knows there will be a new God of War, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, etc, down the road. Everyone also knows there will be a new Halo, Gears of War, Forza, etc, down the road. There are no secrets here and deep down we as gamers already know which side we fall on in that sense.
As much as gamers like to flaunt the raw power of the PS4 as a deal maker/breaker, the multiplatform experience has not been the lopsided as originally expected. My XB1 version of AC4 is running at a lower internal resolution than the PS4 version, but my friends can't tell the two apart when they walk in and watch me play. I mean, they KNOW there is a difference, but it has zero impact on our gameplay experience. If anything, the on screen differences appear to be less than between the X360/PS3. In three years that might change, but today there is no obvious or apparent difference.
I wonder if the PS4 is going to be the global warming of gaming. As in, we know that it has influence over the gaming landscape and years from now it's effects will become more pronounced. That said, in 3 years are we going to be standing around while people make excuses on why it's predicted impact wasn't as obvious as originally expected?
Anyways, in my opinion it will be about the games, then the controller, and then maybe the hardware....with TV being a wildcard. Anyways, the PS4 is a beast, no doubt. It's just not as polarizing as some expected, at least as of December 2013.
I'm hoping for some new IP's. I kinda miss the ol PS1 days, so much variety, the industry seemed willing to try anything, like Spider. Doesn't have to be innovative, just something different. It's great to see KI or SOB reboots but considering how many great titles there has been in the past like Anachronox, it's kinda few and far in between.

Hee,hee, here we go.
PS4. More power, less money, better exclusives, PSN seems to offer more value than Xbox Live (e.g. its free games are actually worth playing).
My understadning was that they are near parity in "power".
And everythign I have done looking at the first year of titles, there are many more exclusives that I would want on the XBone than the PS4.
So, you're saying that if I go over to my friend's house and play any of those games on his Xbox, then I go over to another friend's house and play the same game on his PS4, I will see a significant difference? Nah... Hence, the term I used, discernable.With the power difference of the two consoles, there's already a difference, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Call of Duty Ghosts, all run smoother and at a higher resolution than on Xbox, and that's just the first round of games. Games like Assassin's Creed or CoD the higher res won't do anything other than make it prettier but on games like Battlefield 4, the higher resolution can actually help see enemies farther.

Let alone, some epiphany that overrides one's preference of exclusive titles? Not hardly.
It's all about the games. Period.
The PS4 is appreciably faster, with better hardware, and benchmarks show it produces better frame rates and/or is likely to tolerate higher resolutions.My understadning was that they are near parity in "power".

Despite what I just said, frankly probably not An exception to this may be near the end of the generation years from now when PS4 is tapped out to its extreme running a PS4 only game.So, you're saying that if I go over to my friend's house and play any of those games on his Xbox, then I go over to another friend's house and play the same game on his PS4, I will see a significant difference?
