Just returned my ps4 today. Had it for three days. imma pick up an xbox one instead. Had way too many dislikes for the ps4:

- The controller was making my pinky and ring finger sore. (Maybe I'm just used to the 360 controller but i tried adjusting the way i held the ps4 controller so my fingers wouldn't sore but it felt awkward as hell to hold it any other way)

- Ppl aren't really social on the psn unlike xbox live.

- Voices on chat aren't that clear (adjusted the settings, used turtle beaches, but it still sounds somewhat muffled) there should be an option to adjust the chat and game audio. U can somewhat tweak it in the party chat settings but it's limited.

-psn just shuts down at random moments without any notice to the users

It definitely had its positives too but the negatives outweighed it for me.

Shout out to Walmart on their outstanding return policy:salute:

:ohhh:
An actual intelligent response. Thanks for your intelligent contribution to the discussion. I do agree the PS4 is selling based on momentum and confusion in the gaming media. I however this momentum will soon run out, especially without any standout exclusive title to help the PS4 distinguish itself.
Eh. It's just gotta survive November and December. Which is pretty easy, all consoles do well those months. And then in feb it's getting The Order and Bloodborne.

WiiU has been out longer tho

By this time next year we should have a new uncharted, persona, and gran turismo

All due respect to Wii U but seeing how it was on the market 1 year longer it should have a better library of games. It went though some bad game droughts though.

From a basic stand point, you look at both, and Xbox has quite a good lineup of big games/exclusives now, and you can talk to your console on some futuristic shyt (I played with my homies and its pretty cool.. when it works) and it has a really cool layout as far as the menu goes

that snap feature is kinda stupid tho :patrice:

on the other hand, PS4 is just kinda.... there. Got a few games, no real big new exclusives.. menu is blue on blue on fukkING BLUE.. and it doesnt have that gimmick that pulls people in

why the fukk is it still selling? Is there a game announced thats gonna kill it in 2015 that has everyone hyped in anticipation or what?

IMO games are games and im not an exclusive whore but xbox is about to have KH2 and Halo MCC in its roster :comeon: even the hardest of Sony/PC stans can admit those are two heavy hitters. fukk sony got this year?
two reasons well 3.

#1 Sony stans are from the US to Asia(This is a huge piece. this is a place where they are anti american video game console)

#1A.. Sony was Cheaper out the gate at a time where people's money was still funny in the US and globally.
#1B that DRM trending topic hurt M$, even though in reality DRM is already in the games(thanks devs :comeon:)

the 4th reason i'll add is now that Sony has saturated the market for all the above reasons. the next choice for those that dont have either is this If i like both consoles evenly which do i get? they are both the same price now. Well which console does my friends have? odds are they have a PS4 (it has out sold the xbox one). So there you have it. another PS4 sold. The END.

:russ: that was funny breh.

The XB1 OS is overrated brehs. I just came from using it for like 2 hours and that UI is not touching PS4's UI especially now that the PS4 has custom themes.
Having a slick interface with unique sound effects, background music for that theme and dynamic backgrounds>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>green boxes.

XB1 OS unimpressive.

*some shyt*
I have a PS4. :ld:

Shareplay only on ps4
true remote play only on ps4
Some 3rd party games look and or run better on ps4.
PSNOW only on playstation consoles
Ps4 only console that was made with upgradable internal memory (HDD) in mind
PS+ gives you better content than Games with gold (opinion)
PS4 only console with dedicated share button
Ps4 only console with touchpad and speakers on the controller.
PS4 installs games faster
PS4 has the most powerful next gen hardware
PS4 allows you to stream to TWITCH or USTREAM (xb1 just twitch)

I think those are good reasons to be interested in a ps4 from a features stand point.

I think what XB1 does is cool, but im a cable cutter who does not do fantasy football or tweet.

HDMI allows me to turn off and control my ps4/tv with the remote control (simultaneously) so im good with level of integration.

Most of my list (actually 95% of my list) is coli people. I got about 70 people and 20 people on at most all times. All the coli people have been nice and vocal, hell one dude let me play Shadow of Morrow last night and just left his system running while I played. People are always hopping in party chat (im not in them but I see the notifications)

Community is definitely there tho YMMV.
