Playstation 4 or Xbox One?

Which are you going for?

Playstation 4 is 30% more powerful.

Playstation 4 is 1.84 Teraflops.

Xbox One is 1.23 Teraflops.

Playstation 4 has 8GB of GDDR5 Ram + uses more ram on games and less for multimedia.

Xbox One has a slower 8GB of DDR3 + uses less ram on games and more on multimedia as it is much more of a multimedia machine.

The Playstation 4 doesn't need an internet connection, no 24 hour check ins, no restrictions on used games.

The Xbox One needs an internet connection and needs to connect to the internet once every 24 hours or you cannot play games on it at all. 100 Million Americans don't even have the internet (that's without including the rest of the world) + internet is very patchy and does go down. As soon as it goes down you can't game (even though you paid for it) You can't take the Xbox One away with you because of this + Soldiers won't be able to use them. Some Xbox One games will be ALWAYS online as they use the cloud. We all know how well Sim City online worked out huh, it was a total disaster because of patchy internet connections world wide.

AThe Xbox 360 used over 200Watts of power. The Xbox One will use even more power + require being online a lot of the time to even use it. This means real high electricty bills.

Even though you buy an Xbox One and it's games you don't 'really' own any of it because of all the restrictions in place. You merley pay Microsoft to access their fun house, a fun house where it's their rules only. Microsoft are saying "Yes you can buy our games, but we tell you what you can and can't do with them- if you don't like it, tough!" At the end of the day you pay your hard earned money for this stuff, so shouldn't YOU be able to decide what you can and can't do with it all? If you went to buy a pair of jeans or a new car, and the seller told you that you can buy them but only if you follow their rules....would you buy them? Or would you want to be FREE to do what you wish with them?

Microsoft were the FIRST company to sign up to the spying NSA/Prism scheme. They originally wanted the Xbox One to ALWAYS be connected online 100% of the time + the kinect has to be connect AT ALL TIMES or the Xbox One won't work. Fans complained and Microsoft made it so you only have to connect the Xbox One to the internet once every 24 hours. Although many games will require an always online connection to play them + many will forget it's even connected. The Kinect 2 still has to be connected at all times + has an always on and always listening 1080p camera and microphone. So plenty of spying and data collection going on with the Xbox One still, just not as much as Microsoft originally wanted. So hope your wearing clean undies folks!

The Playstation 4 comes boxed with a console, controller, power cable,HDMI cable and a head set. Previously it was free to play games online with Playstation, now it will cost $50 a year (Playstation Plus) + you get a free game with it. You do NOT need Playstation Plus to use other features like Net Flix or anything else, only need it to play games online. (The Xbox One requires Xbox Live for $60 a year and unlike the Playstation 4 you HAVE to have it to use Netflix or any other online features)

Xbox One comes boxed with a console, controller, power cable and a kinect 2.

Update:

Oh and i forgot one huge point. The Playstation 4 is $100 CHEAPER!!!

    The PS4 is the better choice in my opinion. It is less expensive and you don't need all of this special technology crap to simply play a game. The overall expense for the Xbox One will cost you way more considering it is always connected to the internet. You can't even share a game. I don't see why they did that and buying a game on your own will raise the expenses for the system.

    PS4 is basic, but still advanced technology. The Xbox One seems to try and become something that it's not.

    Here in the UK the Xbox is much more expensive and you get less features for the money!

    $499 = £320, yet the UK price is £429. For that £429 you don't even get Xbox Live TV and other features that the Americans get. So why should people in the UK pay much more and get much less!!! It's the same thing in the rest of Europe and Australia.

    I'm boycotting anything Microsoft from now on and buying a Playstation 4 when they come down to around £300.

    im sure everyone will be getting a ps4 because of the price difference and no 24h checks plus some people dont have internet and like always microsoft has been greedy charging you just to get online. ps4 doesnt require internet at all except for online multiplayer, so id say sony wins this.

    SCORE: Xbox 1 Playstation 4

    I love my Xbox 360, but in NO WAY am i buying an Xbox One after what Microsoft have tried to pull. I'm moving on over to the Playstation Nation and buying a PS4.

    I'm leaving Microsoft and moving over to Sony and getting the Playstation 4.

    Microsoft has proven that they don't care about its consumers and have taken away consumers rights with the all the Xbox Ones restrictions. They just want more money from us and are trying to force things consumers don't want down their throats. You just can't do that!

    Can't wait for the PS4.

    Deffo buying a PS4 this time round. Microsoft effed up so badly with the Xbox One.

  • 8 years ago

    The Xbox one will be better....more of an entertainment system while still having much focus on the gameplay..it will NOT charge for used games like people keep claiming it will, better exclusives...so what if its $100 more, they only reason its more is because the kinect is built into it and the PS4 doesnt come with its motion sensor...thats the only reason the price is diferent..

    ps4

    Xbox One is going to be a flop. They should cancel the production and sells before it's too late. They should change, fix the problem.

    The Playstation 4 is much more gamer friendly so i'm going with that this time.

    Source(s): I'm a gamer, i want people to be friendly to me, Sony and it's Playstation 4 are friendly, Microsoft and it's Xbox One are unfriendly. Simples!
